Saint Anna is a mutant in the Marvel Comics universe, a member of X-Statix. The character, created by Peter Milligan and Mike Allred, first appeared in X-Force #117 (June 2001).
Within the context of the stories, Anna is the illegitimate daughter of a male Argentine priest and a young Irish missionary. She is born in County Kerry, Ireland. Her birth brought scandal until her mutant powers of healing and limited telekinesis manifest, which generates a group of worshipful followers. Anna also develops the power to change into a gaseous form. Saint Anna joins the team X-Statix, at that point calling themselves X-Force, for purely altruistic reasons. Her first mission involves rescuing a young child who is being mistreated. On the mission the team is attacked and Saint Anna is shot in the stomach. She dies and disintegrates.
