Who Is Lila Cheney In MODOK Episode 1?

Lila Cheney is an English singer and musician, as well as a powerful mutant from the Marvel universe. She has a very rich history, often crossing the line between hero and villain. She is a super thief with unmatched teleportation powers who once tried to sell the Earth and its entire population as slaves. Later, she fought for the side of good by joining with the New Mutants and helping them with multiple missions.

Lila had an on-again, off-again romantic relationship with New Mutant member Sam Guthrie (Cannonball). She also invited Alison Blaire (Dazzler) to become part of Lila's music group as a backup singer and musician. In her travels throughout the universe, Lila often kept herself busy — assisting in a planetary rebellion, working for SWORD, and escaping from an arranged marriage are just a few of her adventures. On top of all that, she still has time to perform on both Earth and other planets, making her a universal rock star.

This Easter egg is sure to be just one of many throughout the "MODOK" series. Whether or not Lila actually makes a physical appearance on the show in the future remains to be seen, but the idea of MODOK geeking out in the presence of perhaps his favorite musician would be an entertaining sight.
