    Origin

    Not much is known about Ban-Luck except that she laughs in the face of danger, literally. Ban-Luck is a field agent of GRAMPA, Global Reaction Agency for Mysterious Paranormal Activity. After the Mighty Avengers led by Hank Pym are deputized by GRAMPA agents  One Eyed Jacquie and Ace, the means for collaboration between the Avengers and Grampa are made possible. As the Chinese GRAMPA liaison Ban Luck hand selects Quicksilver and USAgent for a special mission in Tibet. Meeting them in Xining China, Ban-Luck casually engages in a skirmish with the two heroes before before playfully apologizing then explaining the mission to them both. She explains that Quicksilver was chosen for his knowledge of the Inhumans, and that the threat was somehow related to the Inhumans. She jokingly informs USAgent he was selected because he was hot. In Tibet they spy on the former Inhuman King the Unspoken. GRAMPA had discovered that China and the Inhumans might be in negotiations to join together. With the Inhumans declaring war on the United States, this would throw the balance off. She shows no superhuman powers but has great agility, and wears high tech head gear with three lenses. Her main weapons are razor sharp throwing hearts.
