[[The Artful Dodger]] is like the [[Street Urchin]], except that instead of being [[The Woobie]] that makes you want to take him up in your arms and care for him, he seems perfectly happy to take care of himself. Oh, he'd ''let'' you take him home, just don't expect him to be there next morning. Or any of your valuables. In [[Real Life]], a child who lives on the streets experiences horrors most of us could not even imagine, but in some fictional works, a child on the street lives a happy-go-lucky life and practically thrives.

After attempting to rob a well-dressed American in a wheelchair ([[Big Good|Professor Charles Xavier]]) he [[The Force Is Strong with This One| noticed her potential quickly]], and soon after, she was one of his recruits for the X-Men's second generation.
