Biography[]
Cynthia was a member of the Romani clan who lived in Latveria. She married Werner von Doom and had a son named Victor. Cynthia and Werner were always fleeing from the tyranny of the baron, and as such, Cynthia embraced dark magic in the hopes of finding the power to protect her family. She made a deal with the demon Mephisto, promising him her soul in return for power. Cynthia walked into a village and started killing the Baron's men, but unbeknownst to her, the magic she was using also killed every child in the village, just as Mephisto had planned, as he only granted her the power to achieve her revenge rather than the control to use it properly. Horrified over what she had done, she renounced the power, and was stabbed by a dying guardsman. She survived long enough to wander into the woods, where she died in the arms of her husband, making him promise to keep their son from walking the same path as her. Upon her death, her soul was trapped in Mephisto's realm, to be tortured for all eternity.
