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...

Incredible Hulk #449 Jan 1997


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.

lol, had Hulk never met the Vision then? Thinking he was dreaming because Moonstone can phase through walls....

I really like Karla's first Moonstone costume.

There are times Moonstone portrayed as very powerful and at other times not so much.

What are her exact powers? What are those blasts? How many moonstones does she have and where does she keep them?

Karla Sofen obtain a moonstone (which was later revealed to be a Kree artifact) from the original criminal called Moonstone (later to rename himself Nefarius) and stored the moonstone within herself. The 'stone allow her to have flight, superstrength, unleash energy blasts and alter her molecular density to 'phase' through solid objects (similar to Kitty's/Shadowcat's power). Karla only have just one moonstone within herself, although she once possessed two at one time (long story that involved the HEROES REBORN/RETURN Earth created by Franklin Richards; but have both of them removed by Helmut Zemo (since two of them made Karla a bit too powerful). Eventually she regained her moonstone back, although I can't recall the full story as to how this occurred.

Feel free to full in more of Karla/Moonstone in case this poster have overlooked anything.

There's one major weakness. She's become dependent on the moonstone, and if it's taken away, she's dead. Kobik did that to her in the first issue of the current Thunderbolts volume. The rest of the team made her put Karla back to rights in issue 2.

Thanks for the reminder, D....since I've forgotten to mentioned that; especially since this previously happened to her when her moonstone was removed before from Carol Danvers (during Dr. Sofen's time as "Ms Marvel" when she was a member of the Dark Avengers and) this happened during the DARK REIGN Run on the MS. MARVEL Series (way Pre-Kamala Khan, JIC the fans were wondering).

Moonstone the best Marvel female? In what way? Hero, villain, anti-hero?
