First Appearance New Mutants Annual #1 (1984)
Clipped from Wikipedia: Born in England, Cheney is mostly known on Earth as a musician. Another singer with mutant abilities, Dazzler, has performed with Lila in the past. Previously, Lila also used her powers for personal gain as a thief. By chance, her power enabled her to find a Dyson sphere, which Lila came to use as a home away from home.
The mutant Guido Carosella, aka Strong Guy, sometimes works as her bodyguard, although he spends most of his time on various adventures with other mutants, and he is most recently once more a member of X-Factor. Lila has popped in on him from time to time, occasionally taking him away from his current responsibilities against his will, or once, without his clothing.
Lila developed a relationship with the New Mutant Sam Guthrie, also known as Cannonball, to whom she subsequently dedicated a love song.
Powers: She has the ability to generate a teleportational field about herself with which can transport herself and other people/objects across interstellar distances, even across the Milky Way galaxy. But she can't teleport across distances shorter than several light-years. Hence, when she teleports from one spot on Earth to another, she actually teleports herself to her Dyson sphere from her starting point, and then teleports herself from the sphere to the other point on Earth. Apparently, she must specifically know any location to which she teleports herself in order to do so.
Age of Apocalypse: Lila appeared in Gambit and the X-ternals during the Age of Apocalypse storyline. She is in a romantic relationship with Gambit. She and the Starjammers assist the team in their attempt to gain part of the M'Kraan Crystal.
X-Men - The End: In this alternate future, Lila has multiple children with Cannonball. They stay together for decades and are allies of President Kitty Pryde.
