June (Las Vegas) (Earth-616)

June was a gambling addict that left her home and spent her entire time lethargically playing the slots at Mercury Rising. When her husband finally found her, she didn't even answer him. The scene caught the attention of the mentally unbalanced Ben Reilly, who saw the opportunity to use June as a substitute to his Aunt May. Ben drove away June's husband, who decided to give up and even told her that she could consider him dead before leaving.^[1]

After Ben made a deal with Mercury Rising's owner Cassandra Mercury, he made it so June was provided as many quarters as she wanted. She was also provided her own room with all expenses covered.^[2] Some time later, June was approached by Jezebel,^[3] a member of the mysterious Diogenes Initiative with the appearance of a small girl.^[4] June opened up to her since Jezebel reminded her of her dead daughter Gracie. After June took Jezebel to her room,^[5] the mysterious girl lured out of the hotel.^[6] Her employers kidnapped June to use her as leverage against Ben Reilly.^[4] Jezebel's superior eventually let June go, since she was getting on his nerves.^[7]
