Fictional character biography

Gatecrasher is a bounty hunter, and the leader of the Technet. She is a tall, massive blue-skinned female.

Gatecrasher was hired with the Technet by Opul Lyn Sat-Yr-Nin to capture the extra-dimensional fascist Kaptain Briton. Gatecrasher and the Technet mistakenly captured Earth-616's Captain Britain instead, but then helped him escape. ["Captain Britain" Vol. 2 #3; reprinted in the U.S. in "Captain Britain" Trade Paperback] Gatecrasher was later sent to 14th century Earth, and tricked by an enemy into ingesting lethal parasites. She was saved from death by Captain Britain and Meggan. ["Captain Britain" Vol. 2 #12; reprinted in the U.S. in "Captain Britain" Trade Paperback]

Later, Gatecrasher and her Technet were sent by Saturnyne to capture Rachel Summers, the Phoenix. The mercenaries encountered the group of heroes who would become known as Excalibur after their confrontation with the Technet. ["Excalibur Special Edition" #1] Gatecrasher then established a new base in Brighton, England for the Technet. She was hired by Nigel Frobisher, acting on behalf of a woman appearing to be Courtney Ross, to rescue Jamie Braddock from the African despot Doctor Crocodile. ["Excalibur" #12-13, 15]
