Millie The Model's History
Millie Collins worked as a model for the Hanover Modeling Agency in New York City, where her boyfriend Clicker Holbrook worked as a photographer. Her best friend was Toni Turner, and redheaded model
Chili Storm was her friendly nemesis. Millie continued to work as a model and also attended the wedding of
Reed and
Sue Richards.
Millie opened her own model agency, called "Glamour Girls Inc." She was visited in her Manhattan office by her old friend
Hellcat.
Hellcat entered the office in full costume and greeted Millie. Millie failed to recognize her, though she found
Hellcat's voice familiar.
Hellcat took off her cowl and revealed herself as
Patsy Walker. She entrusted Millie with her secret identity, but asked her to not reveal it to others.
Millie had a business offer for
Patsy. She wanted her old friend to return to modeling and start working for her. She promised
Patsy that as a model she could travel the world and meet great people.
Patsy turned down the offer, as she had changed a lot since her days as a model. She no longer felt as innocent and ambitious as she once was. In reply, Millie prided herself on being the head of her own, wonderful modeling empire. In her own words, Millie's ambition had paid off.
Millie reappeared in the 1980s as a matronly ex-model, now running a modelling agency of her own. Her clients have included
Dazzler,
Hellcat, and
She-Hulk. During the 2000s, she was again a model for Hanover, taking part in photo shoots with her friends
Chili Storm,
Patsy Walker, Jill Jerold and Toni Turner. Millie was briefly imprisoned after finding a gun lying by a dead photographer. She investigated the crime while being targeted by thugs. The murderer turned out to be Sachet Nelson, a painter who was the dead man's ex-girlfriend. Millie and Toni were later contacted by
Hawkeye as he sought information on Marcia Guzman, a missing person of interest.
