Skein (real name Sybil Dvorak, formerly known as Gypsy Moth and Sybarite) is a fictional character, a mutant supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

The character first appeared in Spider-Woman #10, as Gypsy Moth, and was created by Mark Gruenwald and Carmine Infantino.

She subsequently appeared in Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions #1 (June 1982), Spider-Woman #48 (February 1983), Spider-Woman #50 (June 1983), The Avengers #240 (February 1984), Captain America #330-331 (June–July 1987), Solo Avengers #3 (February 1988), West Coast Avengers #40 (January 1989), Captain America (1968) #387-392 (July- September 1991), Avengers West Coast #76-79 (November 1991-February 1992), and Thunderbolts (1997) #64-65 (July–August 2002).

The character later became known as Skein, and appeared in Thunderbolts #67 (September 2002), #69 (October 2002), #71 (November 2002), #73-75 (December 2002-February 2003), X-Men: The 198 Files #1 (March 2006), Thunderbolts #103 (August 2006), and #107 (December 2006).

Gypsy Moth received an entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #5, and in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z #10 (2006).

Sybil Dvorak was born in Focşani, Romania in the shadow of the Balkans. She was raised by Romani and spent much of her time alone nurturing her gardens and focusing on her mutant powers - the ability to telekinetically manipulate and control materials with her mind. She loved how the sensation of fiber, such as soft weaves and flowers, felt to her mental touch; hard objects felt abrasive to her.
