Fictional character biography

Tildie's strong mutant abilities first manifested as she was asleep in her mother's bed. She was having a nightmare that came to life. She killed her mother who was sleeping beside her. Her father rushed in and was also killed. The police were called and came to her house to see what was happening. Officer Hoyt was killed in the same way as her parents. Tildie was apprehended and taken to Benetech Labs, where she was used as a guinea pig for the "Cure" by Dr. Kavita Rao. Tildie lost her abilities and stayed at the labs with Kavita.[1]

One night, Ord of the Breakworld stole her and used her as a hostage when confronted by the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. She was successfully taken by the X-Men and returned to Benetech.[2]

Her nightmares can manifest into gigantic real monsters. At the same time, Tildie is inside the monster when asleep. She can unleash intensely powerful blasts of red energy.
