Karolina Dean

HISTORY

Lucy in the Sky

A few weeks later, Karolina organized a group meeting during which the Runaways decided to stay together and run from the authorities. Karolina stayed with the group for a short while during which she confessed her love for Nico, after which an alien Skrull, named Xavin, came to Earth seeking her fiancée, Karolina. The team fought the Skrull but when he announced that their union would stop a war between their homeworlds, Karolina agreed to leave with him to stop the conflict. She then spent some time in space with Xavin, during which she discovered more about her powers, learned about her people, the Majesdanians, and wed Xavin, whose shapeshifting abilities allowed him to become a woman for Karolina.

Karolina has since come back to Earth after her and Xavin's peoples clashed again, around which time Majesdania was destroyed. She and Xavin have reintegrated the group and are helping the Runaways fight the villains who have come to California after the power vacuum that followed the death of the Pride. When the Runaways accidentally end up in the time period of 1907, Karolina meets Klara Prast, and convinces everyone to accept her on the team.

POWERS

Karolina has powers due to her alien (Majesdanian) physiology. She is able to absorb solar radiation and convert it into a unique energy type which she can

She is able to fly, leaving behind a contrail of the same energy surrounding her. The upper limits of her speed have yet to be determined. She is able to carry others while flying, at one time surrounding her fellow Runaways (minus Chase and Old Lace) in an energy field and flying them to a distant building.

Karolina can also project the energy in a beam of variable intensity and diameter, from a wide concussive blast to a thin cutting beam. She can control the projected energy to a limited degree, forming defensive barriers, enfolding shields, or restraining people. Her degree of control and definition is still unrefined, being far less than more accomplished heroes with similar abilities (like Susan Storm).

Excess use of her powers drain her stored energy reserves. In daylight, the depletion is negligible (given that she is constantly replacing the used energy). At night, it is possible for her to completely use up her stored energy and not have access to any special abilities till she is again exposed to sunlight.

Karolina has a special bracelet given to her by her parents. It is made of a metal with the ability to suppress her powers and even the visible multi-colored radiant aura surrounding her. She uses it primarily to walk unnoticed among normal humans. She prefers to remove it in the presence of her fellow Runaways.
