History: (Fantastic Four III#2) - "Billie" arrived at Pier 4, the new headquaters of the Fantastic Four, with a huge mail sack, and introduced herself to Benjamin Grimm and Johnny Storm, telling them that she was to be their new mailwoman, assisting her uncle Willie. The two guys immediatly fell for the beautiful new mailwoman, and offered to help her with all the mail.

(Fantastic Four III#4) - Billie returned to Pier 4 with more mail, and scared Benjamin at first. She was surprised, and claimed that he shouldn't be spooked by "sweet little me." When he called her "Wilhelmina" she told him that no one called her "Wilhelmina" except her uncle Willie, and to her friends she was "Billie." Suddenly the two of them saw bright lightning come from Four Freedom Plaza, and Benjamin told her that he needed to leave. She asked him if there was anything she could do to help, but Benjamin responded that she was a mailperson and this wasn't her line of work.

(Fantastic Four III#13) - One early morning at about sunrise, Billie Lumpkin arrived at Pier 4, knocked on the door, and when Benjamin came to the door, she told him that there was a young woman on the roof carrying a sword. Benjamin told her that it was nothing to worry about, she was a friend of Johnny's, and that her name was Alysande Stuart (alias Caledonia).

(Fantastic Four III#24) - Billie arrived at Pier 4 early again, and informed them that seeing them on the roof so early in the morning in full uniform made her afraid that she had walked into the middle of something big. Reed told her that her concern was noted, much appreciated, and totally groundless.

(Fantastic Four III#29) - Billie arrived at Pier 4 early again, and was about to deliver the day's mail when she was surprised by Doctor Doom (she as well as the rest of the world was unaware that "Doctor Doom" was actually Reed Richards). She told him that she had some letters for the Fantastic four, and "Doom" told her that since he was to marry Susan Richards, he was now to be considered part of the team.

(Fantastic Four III#35) - Some time later, Billie arrived at Pier 4 just in time for one of Johnny and Benjamin's many "fights". The arrival of the beautiful mailwoman made the two stop their fight, and Johnny tried to charm her, but failed miserably. While Benjamin and Johnny tried to fix the door they broke during their fight, Billie decided that it was time to leave again.
