Alicia first appears in The Fantastic Four # 8, along with her foster father, supervillain the Puppet Master . She initially helps him in his confrontation with the Fantastic Four, although she immediately feels the "gentle" and "sensitive" spirit of the Creature, for the first time feeling his tangibly monstrous face. Alicia renounces her adoptive father when she realizes that he is crazy and hungry for power, and accidentally makes him fall out of the window. Subsequently, a published comic book release explains that the Puppet Master is responsible for her blindness, which was caused by an explosion of radioactive clay during his battle with the enemy.
