Chimera is a fictional mutant character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Her first appearance was in Wolverine vol. 2 #97 where she was created by Larry Hama and Adam Kubert.
Chimera is an interdimensional pirate from an unknown Earth who first encountered Wolverine whilst she was gaining information on him and his feral regressive state. She assisted the self-styled heir of Apocalypse, Genesis, with Wolverine's capture when Genesis wanted to brainwash Wolverine to be his first Horseman. They attempted to re-bond the adamantium to Wolverine's skeleton which had been removed by Magneto but the process failed. Wolverine's body violently expelled the metal, killing most of Genesis' followers, the Dark Riders. Dirtnap—one of the only Dark Riders to survive—teamed up with Chimera to get revenge on Wolverine. Chimera encountered Wolverine once again when he and Venom were lured into a trap set by her and Dirtnap. She and Dirtnap were both seemingly killed in an implosion.
The villains survived and attacked the Generation X school in an attempt to kidnap the M twins, but to defend themselves the twins merged back into M and then merged with Emplate, creating the being known as M-Plate. Chimera then captured Synch and fled along with M-Plate. Synch was later rescued by Generation X.
