Early Life

Deborah Twoyoungmen is the daughter of Alpha Flight's Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen, when Elizabeth was four years old, her mother became deathly ill, her father promising to save her as the mystic Shaman. He was not able to do so, however, and Deborah hated him for it. She grew up with a neighboring family, the McNeils, not talking to her father for over fifteen years.

Becoming Snowguard & Joining Alpha Flight

She called on his aid then because she believed that she had seen a spirit escape from an archaeological dig where she was working. She turned to him because she knew that he was Shaman, despite the spell he had cast to keep himself from being recognized, which he wrote off to the blood of many shamans over hundreds of years flowing through her veins.

Through the course of their first adventure together though, it was revealed that she was in fact, a legendary figure, the Talisman. Deborah soon joined Alpha Flight as the second recruit never to be trained by Department H. She soon left the team though, after Shaman attempted to save both her and Snowbird, but was only able to save Snowbird and the Beyonder had to save Elizabeth. She then became extremely vengeful toward her father and called upon the spirits to trick him. She told them to direct him to a birthing place for Narya's baby that contained an evil spirit, Pestilence. She intended to defeat the spirit herself to show up her father, but it instead defeated her, and ripped her Talisman circlet of power from her forehead. Shaman grabbed the circlet and became Talisman II. Deborah subsequently went back to university to return to her studies.

Dreamqueen & Llan the Sorcerer

While at a dig, Deborah soon stumbled onto an ancient cairn, with a mystic object inside. Before she could touch it, she passed out. She was contacted through her dreams by Narya, who told her of the Dreamqueen and that she was coming to Earth and that only Elizabeth as Talisman could stop her. The mystic object would allow the Dreamqueen to control her if she touched it. She contacted Alpha Flight and soon became Talisman again. Deborah defeated the Dreamqueen, but soon realized her greatest challenge lay before her.

Deborah had to fight Llan, the Sorcerer, a being who wanted to destroy earth. She and Alpha Flight were finally able to beat him with some help from Doctor Strange.

{| style="" border="1" !Powers !!Description !Talisman of Power !! As wielder of the Talisman's circlet of power, Deborah has a number of mystical powers available to her. Her abilities include being able to harness the spiritual energies of the Arctic. As the Talisman, Deborah wears the Coronet of Enchantment that allows her to tap into the Earth's northern lights which act as mystic energy, enabling her to cast a near-infinite variety of spells for effects ranging from astral travel, prophetic vision, flight via wing generation, energy projection, teleporation and animal transformation. !Animal Shapeshifting !! Deborah can transform fully or parts of herself into wildlife; however, pain or an overdose of magical energy can cause Deborah to transform into a hybrid resembling a cross between a wolf, a polar bear, a spotted owl, and a caribou. !Flight !! By generating feathery wings from her back, Deborah can fly or use her magic to levitate. !Aurora Manipulation !! Deborah can generate auroras, as she demonstrated to form animal-shaped imagery and is able to discharge energy blasts which carry the resemblance of an aurora. !Memeory Manipulation !! Deborah possesses the power to manipulate memories. She can insert herself in people's memories, make them experience remembrances of specific memories. !Portal Field !! <font face="Corbel">Deborah possesses the ability to generate a field surrounding herself that allows her and whomever she wishes to travel instantly along the lines of quantum entanglement, effectively teleporting anywhere. However, using her powers cause strain on her body. She can only use her powers a handful of times before she has to rest. Additionally, the strain is proportional to the amount of people she carries. For instance, mass-teleporting roughly twenty people caused her to collapse.
