Biography
- Karla grew up in the mansion of a Hollywood producer, the child of a butler. Karla watched as her father put others before himself every day.
- After her father died, her mother worked three jobs to put her daughter through college, and Karla vowed never to end up like her mother, to never put another's needs before her own.
- While going to college, Karla attended many lectures taught by Doctor Leonard Samson.
- Despite building a successful psychological practice, Karla so disliked being dependent on her patients for income that she entered the super-criminal world as an aide to Doctor Faustus and other criminals in order to fulfill her lust for power and control.
- During this time, Dr. Faustus taught Karla some of his methods of psychology in an unofficial capacity, giving her extensive knowledge in this area.
- After learning of the original Moonstone, Lloyd Bloch, Karla managed to get herself appointed as his psychologist by the prison board, due to the insane costs of the cell required to keep him.
- After learning of its powers, Karla manipulated him into rejecting the source of his powers, an extraterrestrial gem of considerable power, which she then absorbed to gain the powers of Moonstone.
- She continued to pursue greater power, stealing Dr. Curt Connors' Enervator and searching the moon's surface for further moonstone fragments.

Character Details
*Amoral* Karla doesn't care about 'right and wrong'. The woman has no principles. She wants what wants, and does her best to take it. Her actions almost always tend to be on the 'wrong' side of things, since she wants things the easiest way possible, which tends to involve using her powers to get what she wants. She has no problems with hurting or killing people, stealing, or any other such activities.
*Lust for Power and Control* Ever since her childhood, Karla has wanted power. And the ability to control her own life, and as she grew older, control over others as well. This is what led her to become a Psychiatrist, and to eventually seek to further herself by engaging in criminal activity. Karla's lust will likely never be sated, even after acquiring the Moonstone, it was only a brief time before she became intent upon finding another Moonstone to increase her power.
*Greed* Karla likes having things. Lots of nice things. Even if she has absolutely no use for something, if it catches her eye she wants it. Money is of course always nice to have. Karla doesn't like to share anything, either. Money, objects, power, control, if it's hers she will not share, unless forced to. And if it /isn't/ hers, she'll probably try to take it.
*Manipulative* Toying with people is one of Karla's favorite things to do. Sure, sometimes she actually has a reason for doing it, but other times she just does it because she enjoys it. She enjoys the feel of having power over another person, being able to get them to do what she wants.
Superhuman Strength |
Due to the Moonstone bonded to Karla's central nervous system her body is powered by its energy and therefore capable of superhuman feats. Despite the fact that she looks like a normal woman, Karla's body has the strength to lift approximately 10 tons, and fairly easily. |
Durability |
The Moonstone bonded to Karla's nervous system has granted her resistance to harm and is enhanced by the armored body suit it can create for her. She is certainly practically immune to physical harm from an "average" person. Her body is resistant to physical damage, such as blows from Ms. Marvel level strength, as well as most types of energy. She is also durable to the point of being bulletproof and immune to other mundane weapons. |
Light Blasts |
Focusing the light energy around her, or her own light energy generated by the Moonstone, Karla is able to emit laser blasts from her hands. When in a focused, narrow beam emitted from a fingertip the laser's energy is powerful enough to penetrate 2-inch steel plate in .1 seconds. Or punch a hole right through a person.
When in a wide beam, emitted from her whole palm or fist, the laser tends to be more physically powerful and is capable of simply destroying things like walls and vehicles. A normal person would be lucky to escape such a blast without many broken bones, and even someone resistant to the damage would be hard-pressed to not find themselves knocked backwards by the force, at the very least. These wide laser blasts are able to generate over 100 pounds of TNT worth of concussive force. (With 1 pound of TNT clocking in at 10,000 PSI on point of impact, enough to fatally dismember a person. At 100 pounds, anyone at point of impact would be essentially obliterated from existence.) |
Light Flash |
Focusing the light energy around her, or her own light energy generated by the Moonstone, Karla is able to emit a blinding flash in her surroundings, easily enough to fill up the space in your average sized room, the flash has a range of about 20 feet in every direction from Karla, with nothing in the way. This glaringly bright flash of light energy can momentarily blind those nearby. Karla is of course unaffected by it. |
Intangibility |
Another of the powers granted by the Moonstone, Karla is able to turn herself intangible. Almost ghost-like. She can also turn other people intangible with herself. While intangible, most things will simply pass through Karla harmlessly and she is able to walk through walls and other solid objects. |
Flight |
Using the Moonstone, Karla is able to manipulate the Earth's graviational pull to allow her to fly at subsonic speeds. |
Enhanced Physiology |
Due to the Moonstone augmenting her musculature, Karla is beyond peak human levels in all of these traits. Her body is faster, more coordinated and balanced, quicker to react, and produces drastically less fatigue toxins. She can spend nearly an entire day exerting herself before she shows signs of fatigue. |
Costume Change |
Karla's normal white and yellow costume is actually created by the Moonstone, and can be altered at will, into any clothing that she wishes. The Moonstone has essentially become Karla's closet. It can be her costume, professional business attire, jeans and a T-shirt, or less. Karla is able to use the Moonstone's powers to alter her costume/attire at will. This could of course be incredibly useful in escaping from tricky situations and blending into a crowd when necessary. |
Voice Control |
Karla has perfect control over her voice, this isn't necessarily a super power, more just a natural talent. While she always had some small gift with this, Doctor Faustus helped her master this art. She can alter her pitch and modulation to varying degrees, allowing her to make herself sound completely different and to impersonate any other woman's voice that she has heard. This ability has proven useful in her manipulations and in seeking control over people. |
Psych |
Karla had a M.D. in Psychiatry and prior to acquiring her Moonstone powers had a successful practice, and role in the underworld working as aide to various criminals, including Doctor Faustus. Dr. Faustus taught her much of his methods of psychology, giving her extensive knowledge in this area as well. She can and has used these skills to break, toy with, and hurt people in the past. |
The Moonstone |
The Moonstone. The only thing that makes Karla different from your average criminal. The only thing that makes Karla /special/. She'd probably have a psychotic breakdown if she lost it, since it's lead her farther along in her search for power and control than she could have possibly ever imagined. And after tasting that, how could she possibly go back to being a normal woman? In fact, she still even continues to search for things to /increase/ her power.
Karla used her psychoanalysis training to convince the previous holder of the Moonstone to give it up, basically scaring him into not wanting the artifact any longer. The Moonstone is actually a Kree gravity stone which was found on the Earth's moon. Kree gravity stones are shards of a Lifestone derived from the Kree Tree of Life.
The Moonstone has bonded to Karla's central nervous system. |
Supervillains |
Moonstone is slowly making a name for herself in the hero and villains world. She has a few villainous contacts she might be able to call on if needed, and if desperate enough. |
Enemies |
Karla steps on a lot of toes, and has no problem doing it. If she thinks she can get something out of it, Karla has no problem crossing people, making enemies, or anything like that. This includes heroes and other villains. Karla tends to want to be the one in control, which doesn't always go over well with her 'co-workers'. Especially since she tends to plot and scheme to get that control. And of course there's always the guy she stole the Moonstone from. Lloyd Bloch. She's not sure what happened to him. |
Criminal |
Karla's identity as Moonstone is known to law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and around the world. She is wanted for enough various crimes to likely keep her locked up for the rest of her life if she ever gets caught. While she is /of course/ more attractive than most women, she doesn't exactly stand out enough for people to recognize her as a supervillain. At least not when she's out of costume, anyways. |
The Moonstone |
The Moonstone is the only thing that makes Karla different from a normal person. And while it has bonded to her central nervous system, and many are unaware that her powers come from an object, the Moonstone can be removed from her body with the proper means or tools. Karla certainly doesn't go blabbing about the focus, but there is obviously knowledge about it out there, she did trick it out of the previous holder after all. |
Verging Psychotic |
It's almost funny that Karla is a Psychiatrist, and has received training as a Psychologist as well, considering that she herself is frequently on the brink of having a psychotic breakdown. Karla is completely amoral, untrusting and obsessed with her lust for power and control. She's prone to snap at the littlest things, and enjoys manipulating people just for the amusement it provides. |
Overconfident |
Karla suffers from the one flaw most super-powered villains seem to share. She's full of herself. When it comes to her powers, and her ability to manipulate people. Karla has a hard time seeing herself messing up. It just isn't going to happen, in her mind. She tends to get full of herself and her scheming or plotting and overextends herself a lot. She has a bad habit of falling on her face when it comes to her little plans. |
Paranoid |
Karla is borderline paranoid, she doesn't trust anyone. Sure, she'll work with people, if it'll help her own goals, but she always watches her own back. She doesn't let anyone get too close, though she can and does let it seem like she is close to people. It helps to manipulate them. |
Sociopath |
Karla is practically the /definition/ of the word 'sociopath'. Let's see. Superficial charm. Check. Manipulative and conning. Check. Grandiose sense of self. Check. Pathological liar. Check. Lack of remorse, shame, or guilt. Check. Shallow emotions. Check. Incapacity for love? Hm. Check. Need for stimulation, or living on the edge. Check. Callousness or lack of empathy. Check. Poor behavioral control or impulsive nature. Check. Irresponsible and unreliable. Check. Infidelity? Hm. Check. Lack of a 'real life'. Check. Paranoid. Check. Secretive. Check. Narcissism. Check. |
