History: Arcanna is a native of the other
dimensional alternate earth inhibited by the team of super
human champions known as the Squadron Supreme. Arcanna was
born with an aptitude of wielding supernatural powers as
well as certain psychic powers which developed as sheet
matured. It is not yet been revealed how she learned to
master her magical abilities
Arcanna originally worked as a medium and after
marrying Philip Jones, she decided to support for family
as a professional crime fighter. Her husband stayed home
to raise their children.
Arcanna success as a crime fighter came to the
attention of the Squadron Supreme, who made her their fifth
recruit.
Like most of the rest of the Squadron, Arcanna
was mentally enthralled by the Overmind, a collective alien
intelligence working in concert with the demonic entity
Null The Living Darkness. The Overmind used the Squadron
as his agents in the conquest of the earth. However, the
Squadron member Hyperion, retained his free will, in alliance
with superhuman champions from another Earth called Defenders,
freed the Squadron from the Overminds control. Together
the Squadron and the Defenders vanquished the Overmind and
Null.
The Squadron's Earth was left in a political and
economic ruin in the aftermath of the Overmind's takeover.
The Squadron, including Arcanna decided to take control
of the United States for a year in order to implement their
"utopia program," by which they intended to solve
all the nation's major problems, ranging from hunger and
crime to illness and death itself. During this year Arcanna
became pregnant again, but fearing the Squadron would compel
her to take less active role if they knew the truth, she
kept her pregnancy a secret at first. Later she misled the
squadron into thinking she had become pregnant months later
than she actually had, using her magical illusion casting
powers to conceal the changes in her figure.
Finally, Arcanna went into labor during a battle
in Squadrons City, The Squadron's headquarters, between
the Squadron and the members of the Redeemers, a team recruited
by Nighthawks, a former Squadron member had resigned in
opposition to the Squadron's assumption of political power.
The Shape, the Squad remember who had joined the Redeemers
but still regarded Arcanna as his friend, left the battle
to take her to the Squadron Capital Hospital. The Squadron
of lost the battle, and Hyperion, conceding that Nighthawk
had a right to oppose them, surrendered on the Squadron's
behalf. The squadron pledged to give up control of the United
States and to help dismantle the utopia program.
Meanwhile, at the hospital Arcanna gave birth
to her son, Benjamin Thomas Jones. She remains a member
of the Squadron Supreme today.

Strength level: Arcanna possesses the normal
human strength of a woman of her age, height, and build
who engages and moderate regular exercise.
Known superhuman powers: arced is a sorceress
who can magically control natural substances in forces,
particularly when it, would, and water. She'd fly to the
ear air by conjuring wins strong enough to support her weight
and carried her aloft. Sometimes in order to fly she rides
or stands upon wooden pole that she can magically levitate;
presumably sorceresses in the past who have used similar
methods of flight gave rise to legends of witches who rode
flying broomsticks.
Art can magically create illusions, perhaps through
manipulating light. She can use her allusion creating ability
to make herself appear to be in costume when she is actually
wearing normal clothing, or make herself appear to be another
person entirely. During her last pregnancy, she used her
allusion casting power to make herself appear to have normal
figure. The paragraph Art can also projected magical bolts
of force.
The origin of Art magical abilities is still
unknown.
