She had become a successful city banker nicknamed The Ice Queen. She now no longer dyed her hair, and Brian was surprised that Courtney with blond hair looked exactly like his old acquaintance Saturnyne, her counterpart from another universe. Opal Luna Saturnyne is the name of a fictional Comic book character created by Dave Thorpe and Alan Davis for their Captain Britain Within Marvel Comics, most tales take place within the fictional Marvel Universe, which in turn is part of a larger multiverse.
Brian and Courtney resumed their friendship, shortly before she was attacked by Arcade and the Crazy Gang. Arcade is a Fictional character and Supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe.

Confronted in her offices, she managed to fight through the Crazy Gang's forces, only to be captured by Arcade and taken to a new Murderworld. There she was forced to improvise comedy in order to survive, surprising both herself and Arcade by being sufficiently entertaining to survive until she was rescued by Excalibur. Returning home after surviving Arcade's assassination attempt and enjoying the thrill of danger, she was vaporized by another counterpart from an alternate universe, Opal-Lun Sat-Yr-9.

House of M is an eight-issue Comic book Limited series and crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics in 2005. Excalibur is a Marvel Comics Superhero group an offshoot of the X-Men, usually based in the United Kingdom.

- Prior to Sat-Yr-9 assuming her identity in regular Marvel continuity (nicknamed "Earth 616"), Courtney Ross did not have any superhuman or mutant abilities. In the fictional Marvel Comics multiverse, Earth-616 or Earth 616 is the name used to identify the primary continuity in which most Marvel Comics
- Saturnyne was not originally created as a duplicate of Courtney Ross. This revelation was a retcon. Retroactive continuity is the deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction
