Luna Maximoff is a fictional supporting character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Luna first appeared in Fantastic Four #240 (March 1982), and was created by John Byrne. The character has subsequently appeared in a number of ongoing books including The Incredible Hulk,The Avengers, and Quicksilver, as well as in limited series such as The Vision and the Scarlet Witch,Son of M, and Silent War. Luna appeared as part of the "Inhumans" entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #6.
The daughter of Quicksilver and Crystal, she is named after the moon, where she was born. Luna is the first child to be born to a mutant and Inhuman; the genetic markers denoting these subgroups in humanity supposedly "cancelled out" in her, leaving her a normal human.
Quicksilver, aghast at the thought of having a flatscan, human daughter, initially sought to expose her to the Inhumans' mutagenic Terrigen Mists. He was talked out of this by Lockjaw (or possibly an impersonation by Gorgon and Karnak to make their point) who, like the Thing, prompted the idea that the mists could turn her into a monstrosity like them (or the amphibious Triton).
