Biography
Darcy Lewis is a student at Culver University. She went to work with Jane Foster and Erik Selvig as an intern for college credits.

Darcy was travelling in a van with scientists Jane Foster and Erik Selvig, when the mysterious weather event subject of Foster's research unexpectedly turned into a powerful vortex before them. As they struggled with the zero-visibility conditions, the van collided with a man who had stumbled out of the dust into their path. The man, who only announced himself as Thor, was injured again when Darcy tazered him, prompting them to take him to hospital.

The following day, Darcy made a surprise discovery when she noticed the figure of a man in one of the photographic images captured from the atmospheric event. While Jane realised that the newcomer might be able to shed some light on the event, Selvig was more sceptical, sparking a lengthy disagreement that Darcy only rarely weighed in on to support the more fanciful elements of Foster's theories.

Darcy continued to tag along with the scientists, providing numerous observations about their rapidly changing situation that were sometimes even helpful to them.

Helping Jane bring back Thor
Darcy tried to help Jane find a way to bring Thor back to Earth. They built a device to open a wormhole, but it failed. Darcy told Jane to wait since Thor promised to return. However, one year passes and Darcy began to doubt that Thor would return at all. When Thor's brother Loki came to Earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. contacted Jane and sent her to Norway to an Astrophysics Lab.

After arriving in Norway, nobody in the lab had any idea why she and Jane were sent there. Darcy hacked into the computer and found live footage of Thor in Manhattan. She showed the video to Jane. After discovering from Erik Selvig that Thor had left Earth, Darcy comforted Jane, telling her that Thor would return again, but Jane disagreed and gave up.
