There have been several characters known as the Enchantress in Marvel Comics history. So if you let us, we'll break it all down for you. Given her MCU future is now wide, wide open, understanding Sylvie's comic book past may give us clues about what Marvel Studios may choose to do with this well-received new character. More of a mash-up of a couple of different Marvel Comics characters than one faithfully adapted one, the MCU Sylvie seems to incorporate aspects of Sylvie Lushton, the second character from Thor comic books that went by the name Enchantress, and Lady Loki, who wasn't so much a variant of Loki but more of Loki in an alternate form. She then raised herself, growing up on the run by hiding in time periods right before cataclysmic events (which made her invisible to the TVA) while developing her Asgardian magical abilities on her own.īut as we now know her life was hard and it produced scars and led her on a quest to discover the truth about who or whatever the TVA really was so she could have her revenge. Little does she realize how her exciting new friendship with Charles Babbage-the brilliant, charming, and occasionally curmudgeonly inventor of an extraordinary machine, the Difference Engine-will define her destiny.Įnchantress of Numbers unveils the passions, dreams, and insatiable thirst for knowledge of a largely unheralded pioneer in computing-a young woman who stepped out of her father’s shadow to achieve her own laurels and champion the new technology that would shape the future.Taken from her reality's Asgard by the Time Variance Authority (and Ravonna Renslayer specifically) as a little girl as she was playing with action figures, Sylvie was already Loki enough to escape Ravonna and make off with a Timepad only minutes after her abduction.

When Ada is introduced into London society as a highly eligible young heiress, she at last discovers the intellectual and social circles she has craved all her life. Any troubling spark of imagination-or worse yet, passion or poetry-is promptly extinguished. But her mathematician mother, estranged from Ada’s infamous and destructively passionate father, is determined to save her only child from her perilous Byron heritage.īanishing fairy tales and make-believe from the nursery, Ada’s mother provides her daughter with a rigorous education grounded in mathematics and science.

The only legitimate child of Lord Byron, the most brilliant, revered, and scandalous of the Romantic poets, Ada was destined for fame long before her birth.
