Dead Girl is a fictional character, a mutant superhero in Marvel Comics' X-Statix series. She is a mixture of ghost and zombie. Her civilian name has never been fully revealed, but she admitted after some cajoling that her first name is/was "Moonbeam." Dead Girl's mutant gene allows her to return to semi-life after dying; she is also able to become intangible and communicate with other dead people. Dead Girl was formerly the girlfriend of the Anarchist, although this relationship has since ended with their deaths, and they are on questionable terms in part because of the Anarchist's involvement with certain infernal prisoners.
