Jaine Cutter

Jaine Cutter is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. She first appeared in Hellstorm: Prince of Lies #12 (1994).

Jaine Cutter was a witch who sold the souls of seven policemen to the demon Zahgurim, in return for magical armor made from River Styx, and powerful weapons. Zahgurim also branded his mark across her abdomen, which gave her special abilities. She soon encountered Daimon Hellstorm, who believed that she was a killer. However, they soon began to have an affair, and together they prevented the Armorer from killing Jakita Wegener. Unfortunately, Cutter was badly wounded as the Armorer stabbed her in the head with a Ritual Execution Blade. Nevertheless, she was able to weaken Zahgurim by stabbing him with her claws, allowing Hellstrom to kill him.

Cutter and Hellstrom later encountered the Demoness of Madness, who had been torturing people. The Baliff attempted to torture Cutter, but she was rescued by Hellstorm, who killed the Baliff. Inanna then appeared and was killed by Cutter with a breathing gun. Realising that Hellstorm must be a demon (otherwise he would not have been able to kill the Baliff) and believing that his intentions are evil, she initially tries to kill him. However, he assures her that he is on her side and makes her his Satanic Consort.

While she was at home in her apartment, she was ambushed by a demon hunter called Gabriel Rosetti, who stole her breathing gun and attempted to kill Hellstorm with it. Due to the death of Hellstorm's wife, Patsy, Cutter and Hellstorm were able to enter a more committed long term relationship.

Cutter and Hellstorm recently joined forces with Ghost Rider and the Caretaker to save the Anti-Christ. The team rode around America on motorbikes, trying to find a gateway to Hell to help the Antichrist. She then engaged in a battle with Kid Blackheart.

Cutter can cover her body with a very strong White Styx Iron Skin. She can also grow sharp talons, fangs and spikes at will. She also possesses the psychic ability to see ghosts. She is also in possession of one of just two breathing guns, a special gun which can kill demons.

Cutter first appeared in Hellstorm: Prince of Lies issue twelve, in 1994. She went on to become a regular character in that series. The first appearance she made outside the Hellstorm series was in issue 2 of Nightman, in 1994. Then, after a five year hiatus, she reappeared in the Thunderbolts 2000 Annual. She them briefly appeared during the Civil War Damage Report, before appearing in the mini-series Ghost Riders: Heaven's on Fire.
