Around that same time, she reunited with Shaw, and the pair took control of the Hellfire Club once more. While recovering, Selene discovered she could increase her strength by killing her fellow Externals and absorbing their essences.

However, Selene lost control over the group and was seriously wounded by one of its members: the time-traveling serial killer Trevor Fitzroy. To take out the other members of the Inner Circle, Selene formed the Upstarts, a group of ambitious young mutants tasked with killing Hellfire Club members in a competition overseen by the Gamesmaster.
However, Selene eventually turned her focus to consolidating her own power. Then, the time-traveling Nimrod crashed a fight between the X-Men and the Hellfire Club, leading Selene to work alongside the heroes to take down the mutant-hunting machine. When Rachel inherited the Phoenix Force's memories of being wronged by the Hellfire Club, she tried to kill Selene but was stopped by Wolverine. As a member of the Inner Circle, Selene formed a rivalry with Emma Frost, the White Queen of the time, and made the first of many alliances with Sebastian Shaw. After capturing Magma and Rachel Summers in a bid for power, Selene was accepted as the Hellfire Club's new Black Queen in UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #189 by Chris Claremont, John Romita Jr., and Steve Leialoha. Pulled into the world of modern mutants, Selene traveled to America and approached the Hellfire Club in New York. Thanks to her extended lifespan, Selene has become one of the most skilled magic users in the world and was even considered a potential candidate to replace Doctor Strange as Sorcerer Supreme. Selene is also a powerful telepath with considerable telekinetic abilities. By drawing on the power she has absorbed, Selene can also grant herself other superhuman abilities like enhanced strength or speed.
Selene maintains her immortality with her mutant power to absorb the essence or lifeforce of others, a process that also allows her to absorb memories and take control of her victims. There, Selene tried to ritually sacrifice the young mutant Magma in THE NEW MUTANTS (1983) #9 by Chris Claremont, Sal Buscema, and Tom Mandrake. After a failed attempt to sacrifice the population of Ancient Rome to make herself a god, Selene founded Nova Roma, an isolated colony modeled after Ancient Rome that survived into modern times in Brazil's Amazon Rainforest. While the details of her early life remain largely unclear, Selene Gallio-one of the world's first mutants-belongs to a sect of immortal mutants called the Externals.
