Moonstone Appreciation

[Angrel-San]

Did a search to no avail and couldn't find anything for Karla, so here it is.

A thread for the best Marvel female IMO.

[Michael Watkins]

she's my favorite evil female psychiatrist-turned-super-villain

[Angrel-San]

With a chance for goodness, but she needs a strong hand to lead her that way.

Hawkeye did it and she was good and felt good while she was with him.

Maybe Bucky can do the same.

[Winterboy]

My favorite villain.

[Tofali]

So what are her best arcs and who is her greatest villain(s)? Scans would help

[Winterboy]

I really would like to see a Moonstone & Red Guardian tale someday...

You DO know her HULKSTER!!!...

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

From INCREDIBLE HULK #228!!!!

[Angrel-San]

Her Hulk fights are meh!!!

She has an ongoing rivalry with Songbird as both are very much alpha women now and as both have been leaders of the Thunderbolts, they have that one upping competition all the time. I love their rivalry.

Karla also has had some epic fights with Carol as shown in Ms. Marvel.

Her fight with Rogue was her bullying Rogue.

And her trolling Gravitron was priceless.

for the sake of discussion, I'm actually of the belief that Karla is unable to reform (Bucky sure as heck doesn't have what it takes to make her). she's a cluster-B personality disordered individual; highly intelligent/educated but without a moral compass. she didn't just take advantage of her clients. she enjoyed hurting them; emotionally. manipulating others is a way of life, at this point. the closest we got to her being on the side of the angels was dude to the influence of the moonstone gem. that said, she's a really great character.

I'm with you except that she can reform but it will take hard work and effort.

Hawkeye almost turned her into a full hero before Capt. America basically forced him to leave and then all the mess with Zemo happened.

It can be done again but definitely requires someone that Karla looks up to and respects.

I think Bucky has what it takes IMO.
