Our favorite little deus ex machina from House of M, PAD really gave her some dimension in Xfactor as the creepy little girl who "knows things" (including that one day she and Jamie'll get married ). Since I'm trying to get this up ASAP, I'm stealing a bit from Wiki:
Although Layla has claimed that she once had horns and could breathe fire, she may not have meant for this to be taken literally, as she is explaining to Jamie Madrox that she was an outcast and treated badly by the other children in the orphanage.[3]
During House of M she had the ability to "awaken" heroes and make them remember their former lives.
After M-Day, she exhibits an ability to see paths of causality to their ultimate conclusion, allowing her to alter events to prevent or cause certain occurrences. However, a few times she has encountered blind spots: her abilities did not enable her to discern that her teammate Strong Guy was brainwashed, or the machinations of Singularity CEO Damian Tryp.
After the destruction of Singularity Industries, Damian Tryp reveals to Layla that her very existence had foiled his plans — she is a force of chaos like he is. Tryp reveals that when he comes into conflict with Layla, terrible events occur as a result. Following her encounter with Tryp, Layla appears genuinely shocked for the first time: the glass of milk she is pouring unexpectedly overflows, spilling onto the floor.
She certainly is one of my favorite parts of Xfactor! Let's get discussin!

You are not being mean when you say NO to unreasonable demands or when you express your ideas, feelings, and opinions, even if they differ from those of others.â€
Me too steyn! And I really like the direction PAD took her in. In her inception in HoM, she was very....well, she seemed like a plot device. I like where she's gone in Xfactor

I agree. PAD did an awesome job and turned her from a mere plot device into an actual person in X-Factor. She has had some very funny scenes in thebook. I'll see if I can find some more scans of her.

LOL I like that one. "Half the stuff I know just comes from paying attention."
