Keeper of Infinite Earths - The Alliance
Created by Bob Justice
Laserlash
Alter Ego: Emily Kole
Occupation: Super Villain
Known Relatives: none
Group Affiliation: the Alliance
Base of Operations: Mobile
Background/History:
Emily was a social chameleon able to blend in and work in virtually any clique.
She paid close attention to everyone around her to carefully catalogue any
information that would be useful. She discovered that she had a knack for seeing
different applications for inventions, even though she was not terribly creative
on her own. Having virtually bluffed her way into a position at Starr
Industries, she got involved in a medical laser project involving a very
controlled, limited range beam. The lead scientist was inspired by the idea of
light sabers. Emily saw a potential for a powerful weapon and modified the
design into a battlesuit. She stole it from the lab, destroyed the plans, and
spent months dodging thugs hired by her former employer. Her suit worked, but
somewhat erratically. Professor Moriarty tracked her down to discover her
secrets and they became partners of a sort. Moriarty would run inventions by her
and she would come up with new applications. Together, they rebuilt the suit and
upgraded it substantially including a strength boosting exoskeleton for
instances where her energy whip was not useful. She works for the Professor as a
direct agent and, only rarely, does she act on her own or for hire.
Personality/Motivations:
Her main goal was to find an easy way to live as opulently as possible,
initially by finding a rich man to take care of her. She stole the suit to sell
it back, not to become a supervillain, but her job with the Alliance fills her
goal quite nicely and she is content just having to get her hands dirty once in
a while.
