Little is known about Fatale's youth and how she came to be Dark Beast's most trusted servant. It is possible that Dark Beast created her himself.

Fatale somehow scanned Bishop's mind to find his ideal woman and changed her appearance to match this image. She took the name Pamela Greenwood, but she failed to get any closer to Bishop.
