Aleytys "Lee" Forrester is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Her first appearance was in The Uncanny X-Men #143.

Forrester is a resident of Florida and the captain of the fishing trawler, Arcadia. Cyclops of the X-Men, a.k.a. Scott Summers, is hired on the Arcadia during a leave of absence.[1] Forrester is targeted by the supernatural being D'Spayre after her father, Jock, commits suicide over the loss of his wife. D'Spayre is defeated by Cyclops and Man-Thing.[2]

Summers and Forrester engage in a brief romantic relationship. They are shipwrecked on an island inhabited by Magneto in the Bermuda Triangle, where Magneto reveals Summers's identity as Cyclops to her.[3] Forrester eventually breaks off her relationship with Summers, claiming she does not want to become involved with the X-Men.[4] She becomes sexually intimate with Magneto after she rescues him from a shark attack.[5] However, Forrester and Magneto separate when he becomes the headmaster of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.[6]

Forrester becomes the skipper for an expedition force which, after sailing through a dimensional warp within the Bermuda Triangle, is stranded in an alternate Earth alongside James Scully. After three years, Forrester and Scully send a message buoy to Earth, where only days had passed since their disappearance.[7] However, the two fall in love and refuse to return to Earth when the X-Men and the Future Foundation arrive to rescue them.[8]
