Opul Lun Sat-Yr-9 (also spelled Sat-Yr-nin) is a fictional character and supervillainess in the Marvel Universe.
Sat-Yr-9 first appeared in the UK title Captain Britain Monthly #3 (1984), and was created by Alan Davis. Her first US appearance was in Excalibur #3 (1988).
Opul Lun Sat-Yr-9 is the dictator of Earth-794, along with her lover Kaptain Briton. When he flees to Earth-616 where he has an identical looking counterpart (Earth-616's Captain Britain), she sends armored troops to retrieve him. They mistakenly attack Captain Britain twice, but are repelled on each occasion. Sat-Yr-9 hires the interdimensional mercenary group, the Technet, but Briton swaps places with Britain, and the Technet take the wrong man back to Earth-794. Britain later convinces the Technet of their error. When Sat-Yr-9 tries to stop them departing with Britain, the Technet slaughter her soldiers; the already psychotic Sat-Yr-9 becomes completely unhinged. She kills her subjects, leading Roma to send Captain UK on a mission to overthrow and imprison her. While Britain is on Earth-794, Briton is killed by Betsy Braddock when he tries to rape her.
Escaping to Earth-616 through a dimensional gateway that had been opened by Widget, Sat-Yr-9 kills her alternate reality counterpart, a businesswoman named Courtney Ross (and Captain Britain's ex-girlfriend), and takes her place. As Ross, she tries to create a rift between Captain Britain and his current girlfriend Meggan.
Sat-Yr-9 knows about Jamie Braddock's reality warping powers before anyone else (including Jamie himself), since she has already encountered Jamie's alternate reality counterpart. Sat-Yr-9 challenges Ross's coworker (and secret admirer) Nigel Frobisher to a high-stakes card game at the London Hellfire Club, and wins. Frobisher agrees to serve her, and she orders him to rescue the Earth-616 Jamie Braddock from Doc Croc, intending to use his powers as a living weapon against her adversaries. Sat-Yr-9 takes Kitty Pryde under her guidance, enrolling Kitty in the St. Searle's School for Young Ladies, and arranges a deal to save St. Searle's from bankruptcy.
