She’s Colossus’ little sister and one of the original New Mutants from 1982. She’s a pretty central X-Men character in the comics, especially in the 80s and again the last decade or so.
Biologically, but after spending her young-adult life in Limbo she's now basically conquered it, and has a Super Powered Demon Side called "the Darkchilde" that pops up sometimes.
Morrigan was originally pitched as a vampire in preliminary designs, but the devs didn't want Yet Another Vampire character, so they made her a succubus instead. As a result of popularity and relative pop culture obscurity of the theme at the time, she became The Succubus of modern pop culture and heralded in the trope. Any time you see succubi in Japanese media these days, odds are it's because of Morrigan's continuing influence.
The entirety of Darkstalkers is someone taking a bunch of fantasy tropes, loading it into a shotgun, firing it at a paper mache ball made of OTHER fantasy tropes, and putting the results into a fighting game.

Wow!
I totally missed 'er!
And I didn't know Colossus had a sister!
Her actual name kinda makes it obvious!
🤣

Did we forget Nightcrawler?

I love Nightcrawler. I just try to forget the dumb storyline of him being an actual demon.

Beautifully put. Now pardon me, a mummy beat up my fish man so I’m going to take vengeance as an aztec robot.

I got next with my Little Red Riding Hood packing a submachine gun and grenades.
