menacedLily began as the much-berated daughter of wealthy politician, William Hollister. As said before, she was not a well-loved child, since her father had wanted a son instead of a daughter. Though her gender was not ideal, William attempted to mold Lily into the perfect daughter. He expect nothing but the absolute best of Lily, from making the Dean's list at school, to being the perfect icon that William could market with his campaigns. Lily went along with this, only ever wanting to please her father and make him finally notice her great potential. For him, she adopted the persona as a wealthy socialite who partied and spent time with the wealthy upper-class. This is where Lily met Harry Osborn, the son of villain Norman Osborn. Lily spent time with Harry first out of desire to improve her image, but then genuinely fell in love with Harry, who felt the same. They dated for a few months, inseparable and even trading constant contacts when apart. Somewhere between their first month as a couple, Lily realized that something was upsetting her beau. He could be moody and morose at times and it scared Lily. She did some prying into Harry's possessions, discovering his secret Goblin journal and the dusty, old Osborn labs. Lily followed through on her plans, entering the labs, but knocked over a vial of the Goblin Serum. When Lily bent down to clean up the mess, she made contact with the Serum, which was absorbed through her skin.
This started Lily's venture into mental instability and her beginning as the criminal, Menace, utilizing old Osborn weapons and gliders in her appearances as the criminal. She used her criminal persona to help sway public opinion, even going so far as killing people.
Before Lily's criminal doings were outed, Lily discovered that she was pregnant with Harry's child, and after having turned down his proposal of marriage, Lily popped the question to Harry herself, after he discovered that Lily moonlighted as Menace. She was sent to jail after being outed, where a very dark Norman Osborn found Lilly, and offered her a choice: join him, or die. Fearing that the child would end up in Norman's manipulative hands for being the grandchild of the Osborn regime should he discover Lily's pregnancy, Lily panicked. The effects of the Goblin Serum on her sanity didn't help either. She figured out a way to prolong her baby's safety by becoming Norman's lover and influencing his decision of mating to produce a "worthy heir". Lily was sneaky, convincing Norman that the child she carried within her womb was Norman's and Norman's alone. While Norman bought this lie, Lily continued to live in constant fear of Norman lashing out and causing her harm, as well as harming the baby should Norman discover the identity of the baby's true father. Lily has stated great fear of Norman, and even detailed the punishments he has doled out, such as locking Lily in a cell or even beating her. He also took advantage of the Goblin Serum's effects on Lily's sanity, such as twisting her actions and tracking her motions in order to twist her actions into his grand master plan.
All the while, the Goblin Serum turned her psyche to a weather storm, pitting sanity against growing insanity. It caused her to do horrible things and she was practically puddy in Norman's hands. It was easy for Norman to manipulate Lily, taking all her fears and anxieties and maximizing them when she tried to turncoat, even pushing the Goblin Serum's effects to new heights and maximizing his control. Threatened her life, the baby's life, and even Harry's life, and while Lily cowered, she couldn't face the thought of losing Harry. But that didn't stop her fears from influencing her to betray her baby's father. When Harry came to Lily's rescue (to her elation and relief) and went against his own father, Lily, fearing Norman discovering the betrayal, fell back to the enemy's side and attacked her lover with the intent to kill, spewing lie after lie with a trained expression. From then on, she continued the ruse as the mother of Norman's child, staying by his side in order to keep vigilance. When the Osborn regime fell and Norman consequently went to jail, Lily saw her chance and ran, not looking back. She hid herself in many places, caring for her growing pregnancy, while also fighting the Goblin Serum which had started to cause her greater bouts of insanity as well as pain as she began to lose further control.
Then the Goblin hit the fan when several villains realized that Lily's baby (still believing it to be Norman Osborn's progeny) would make excellent leverage in the future. They came after Lily, tracking her across cities, until she had no choice but to go to the one person who she could trust in her terror. The same man she loved, who loved her, and who she betrayed. Harry Osborn. As soon as she found Harry (and consequently Spider-Man) her water broke and she went into labor. To Lily's utter surprise, Harry stood by to offer support, even when the villains arrived to take the baby. Lily cried and fought herself, thinking she'd not only lost her life, her love, but now she lost her baby. Again, to her relief, Spider-Man was able to bring back the newborn boy. But before he could present the baby to Lily's arms, Lily, still aching from natural childbirth, left, asking Spider-Man to tell "the both of them" that she loved them (Harry and their child, the newborn son).
