We've covered Sybil Dvorak before, but she is, first and foremost, a Spider-Woman villain. The girlfriend of a famous movie star, effectively trafficked and held hostage by him, used her mutant psionic ability to control fabric and material to become a vigilante, murdering him and his fellow Hollywood elites before becoming a hired assassin.

Sybil Dvorak first appeared in 1979 as a Romani woman born with the mutant ability to manipulate material telekinetically with her mind. Kept basically hostage by her lover and film star Jason Reed, she uses her powers to create a costumed alter ego and take out her vengeance on the Hollywood elite, often acting as a major antagonist of Spider-Woman, but crossing paths with others like Moon Knight after she became part of Night Shift.

Please feel free to add any further detail you'd like to share in the tags, such as:

Whether you are a native speaker or not, and if not, what your native language is

More specific location information (e.g. I am from the US and live in the mountain west)

Whether you have heard one or both of these pronunciations before

Any other info you'd like to share!

I tried to make this poll as inclusive as possible without cluttering up the results, but it really is my own curiosity here so I am super interested in any other info you have to share about this.
