Like her peers, she was exposed to the Terrigen Mist during infancy, a process that transformed her thick red hair into a psionic weapon capable of elongation and immense tensile strength.

Example conversation
"I am an accidental queen, Karnak. I never asked for this office. Ahura will take his father's place on the throne as soon as he is of age. I will not allow anyone to usurp his succession. So I am queen, and I will hold the throne in faith for my son. And I will stay queen until he is fit to rule."
