History:
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#16) - Lightbright was amongst the Bio-Genes,
Somalian mutant rebels, when they sought to drive Silver Sable
and the US military from their country and take over themselves.
She was forced by Leecher into following his plot, while at the
same time, she was blanketed by the Goddess with her universal
salvation emotions. The Bio-Genes attacked Silver Sable and her
agents, the Intruders and Wild Pack, whose effectiveness was
reduced by the peaceful emotions caused by the Goddess. After a
short struggle, however, their fight was interrupted by Baron
Strucker and Hydra, who sought to claim Somalia for the Southern
Warlords.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#17) - As they fought together
against Hydra, Lightbright and most of the others came to realize
that Sable's group meant them no harm. Lightbright's epiphany
came when Battlestar risked his life to save her. Leecher
attempted to force their continued compliance, but he was
convinced to lead the Bio-Genes to withdraw from the conflict.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#19 (fb) - BTS) - Lightbright was invited by Battlestar to come to work for Silver Sable.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#19) - Lightbright arrived at the Symkarian Embassy in New York.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#20) - Lightbright accompanied Lemar Hoskins (Battlestar) for a night out, earning him the envy of the rest of the men working for Sable.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#21) - Now one of Sable's Intruders, Lightbright assisted in a struggle against Latisha, Morris, and their gangstas.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#22) - Lightbright used her powers to calm and subdue Afterburner, Boomerang, Cyclone, and Spymaster.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#25) - Lightbright and the Intruders were sent to Bosnia to clean out Genesis Coalition members posing as Hydra stormtroopers. They did so, teaming up with Hydra's agents System Crash to devastate the Hydra imposters.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#30) - Lightbright was present as Sable's uncle Morty announced that Sable had been imprisoned, and that she did not wish any of her employees to try to free her.
(Silver Sable and the Wild Pack#33) - Lightbright was present when Sable announced that she would be ceasing active participation in any missions, instead running the business end of things from Symkaria.
(Civil War: Front Line#5/4) - Lightbright refused to sign the Superhuman Registration Act. Along with Lectronn, Wildstreak and Phone Ranger she was arrested by Spider-Man and Iron Man.
(Civil War#6) - Lightbright was freed from her cell in the Negative Zone prison 42 and joined Captain America's Anti-Registration heroes to oppose Iron Man's Pro-Registration heroes.
(Civil War#7 - BTS) - Lightbright participated in the end fight between the anti- and pro-registration heroes in New York City.
SECRET WARS III HAPPENED
(Venom War: Lethal Protectors#1 (fb) - BTS) - Liz Allan of Alchemax provided Silver Sable and her Wild Pack with symbiotes known as the Lethal Protectors Initiative, which they had no time to field-test. Lightbright received the symbiote Scream and a sonic amplifier to keep it under control.
(Venom War: Lethal Protectors#1) - Allan hired Silver Sable and the Wild Pack to retrieve a package from Alchemax while New York City was overrun by Zombiotes. Lightbright criticized Tarantula for drinking before the mission and was concerned that they didn't test the symbiotes before this mission. The team parachuted onto the Alchemax building and made their way down to the Life Foundation's lab where they found the tank they were supposed to retrieve. They were attacked by Zombiotes and though they were armed with machine guns, Sable authorized the activation of the Lethal Protector Initiative. Lightbright joined the fight against the Zombiotes as Scream, but got in Silver Sable's face when Navvab was abandoned by the Agony symbiote and turned into a Zombiote.
(Venom War: Lethal Protectors#2 (fb) - BTS) - The Wild Pack escaped the lab with the tank and Silver Sable, who had merged with the Agony symbiote after it had abandoned Navvab. The Wild Pack decided to put a sonic emitter on Silver Sable like the ones they were wearing to keep the symbiotes in check.
(Venom War: Lethal Protectors#2) - Tarantula and the rest of the team saw Silver Sable awaken and showed her that they had been successful. The Wild Pack got to higher ground when Zombiotes attacked them and escaped to a nearby ceiling. The Zombiote Scorpion damaged the tank Lasher was carrying and it released a sonic blast that took out all the Zombiotes. The team was surprised when it turned out that inside the tank was a clone of the super-villain Shriek. She attacked Silver Symbiote, Scream and the rest of the team, but got knocked out with a kick by Lasher.
Silver Sable and the Wild Pack later took control over Dominic Fortune's ship Mississippi Queen.
(Venom War: Lethal Protectors#3) - Lightbright and Lina locked up Dominic Fortune on his own ship. When a horde of Zombiotes attacked the ship, Scream joined the fight against them. After Shriek was strapped into an Alchemax amplifier to channel her sound waves through to defeat the Zombiotes, Lightbright left with the rest of the team and aboard their plane was shocked to learn from Puma that Crippler had been working for Meridius and had betrayed them.
