[From Old English, brid "young bird"]; a bird.
Powers: Telepathy. Birdy was hired by Sabretooth to provide him with what he termed "the glow," a psychic blast that satiated his bloodlust and nubmed the pain of his suppressed memories, allowing him to control himself for short periods. As she had no offensive abilities, Birdy often carried a big gun and drove the getaway car. She was with Creed when the Hand revived Omega Red and again when he was being hunted by assassins. For reasons still uncertain, perhaps simply fear, Birdy betrayed Creed to the Tribune. However, when she was found by Creed shortly thereafter, he came after her as if to kill her but did not. When Creed finally confronted Tribune, the mastermind behind the hits, Birdy came in to help. She linked Sabretooth's and Tribune's minds, and Sabretooth discovered that Tribune was his son Graydon, leader of the Friends of Humanity. Unfortunately, Graydon then stabbed Birdy to death in order to torture his father and drive him nuts.
