Monica Eden (Earth-30)

Other Aliases:

* Brown

 I did not scrape, steal, **collude**, **murder**, and **bribe** my way to become a **BOTTOMFEEDER**. I am in the position I am in now to become the most influential person in the world which **I am**. Either you will respect me, or you will **fear** me. But either way, **you will know my name**.
—**Monica Eden**
The villainous, strong-willed, femme fatale **Monica Eden** is one of, if not the most dangerously influential women alive or dead. Born to two social workers in rural Kentucky, Monica and her sister, Jessamy, showcased an extremely high level of intelligence unparalleled by anybody in their state. However, Jessamy often overshadowed Monica in everything, such as scholarships, awards, and even the men in their lives. When they entered college at UNLV, they met Patrick Knight, who had recently come out of the military. For once, Monica fell in love with someone who only loved her and not her sister, but Jessamy ruined this through her schemes and eventually married Patrick, which sent Monica down this dastardly path.

Monica would position herself as an esteemed woman, gaining several degrees and gaining the attention of Connor Carter, head of Dynamics Industries, who hired her for her countless degrees. With Dynamics' resources, Monica furthered her plans as she became the reason why Chester Ballinger experimented with gamma to cure his rare blood disease, becoming the reason why Shay Daniels' party was set in the desert which led to him becoming **The Spectacular Tarantula**, she convinced Chris Rights to tamper with Bernard Smith's gamma experiment which turned him into **The Immortal Hulk**, and why Majora attacked Ren Carter. She would even reach out to Alexis May and take her under her wing, then become instrumental in the plan to create The Atrocity Serum after becoming the CFO of Dynamics Industries. However, this plan backfired with Connor chose to use it on Tyler Price without Monica knowing, and this unknowingly led to the death of her pupil. Later, she would become why Kang, The Conqueror, began to form the multiversal supervillain team **Hollow** and let Kang be the figurehead and point-woman. At the same time, Monica quietly pulled the strings from behind the scenes.

After successfully recreating The Super Soldier Serum with Connor, Monica began to utilize her contacts to gain a strong foothold on the Las Vegas infrastructure. She put a new Sheriff in power and helped Connor roll out the Dynamics "Droids" program. However, she gained a vial of Shay's blood from the battle of Japan and began to study it to gain abilities herself as she knew that the heroes would not take kindly to the Dynamics invasion.

## Attributes

### Abilities

* **Ingenious Intelligence:** Monica Eden is often quoted to be one of the most brilliant people on Earth and for a good reason. She is known for her tactical brilliance and creativity, which led to her becoming the most influential woman in the world. Outside of Alexis May, she has had a hand in *everything* that makes up the modern superhero community in Vegas without them realizing it. Her intelligence matches Connor Carter's, but where she bests him is in her creativity, as mentioned above. She proposed the idea of recreating the Super Soldier Serum to him, and when asked how she presented copies of his grandfather's notes, Dr. West Carter with notable changes to it that changed the Vita-Rays to gamma rays which worked but failed to become properly synthesized which resulted in Tyler's insanity. Monica was able to crack Dakari's complex new science called "Shadow Physics," which incorporated mysticism and physics together overnight and even began to apply them to the Big Steppers. She took this a step further by giving this information to Alexis two days before she died with instructions on how to use it for her technology. It was through this that Monica understood and articulated what she wanted Brother Voodoo to do to lure Majora to the Mojave Desert, even presenting him with Majora's mask, which she received by performing Shadow Physics. Her intelligence is even admired by members of Hollow, such as Alucard, who defers to her when he needs assistance.

* **Master Manipulator/Prodigy Con Artist:** Forced to resort to unsavory means to gain her power now, Monica learned how to manipulate people by moving herself to understand body language, human behavior, and human patterns. She can tell what a person is about from the moment she sees them and what could be their potential weaknesses. This ability has left many people wondering if Monica is psychic because she can almost tell what a person is thinking based on the situation's context and physical language. This is how she was able to give Jennifer Daniels the idea of where to have Shay's 16th birthday party as she came to Monica stressed about the situation, and Monica used this to advance her plans. She also "gave" Chris Rights the idea to tamper with Benard's gamma device by preying on his fragile ego and destructive home life, making Chris believe that Monica would get him out of the situation. However, Monica knew the destructive power of the device, and when it went off, Chris was killed, and Monica slept like a baby afterward. When she approached Alexis and attempted to blackmail her, Alexis revealed all of the information she had on her and reversed it. However, Monica manipulated Alexis' feelings and want of a "mother figure" to take her under her wing and use her status as an information broker to further her agenda. Yet, her most extended con has been Connor Carter. She played on his feelings of narcissism and wanted to replace his wife, leading to Monica sleeping with Connor on several occasions but only using him to gain her position as CFO and her ultimate goal of taking over Dynamics Industries under his nose as she has him on an emotional leash that he is incapable of escaping from as Monica has done several things that Rie used to do which she learned from watching old footage of Rie. This doesn't only extend to this reality. The multiversal team **Hollow** is entirely manipulated by Monica. From the first three days of recruiting Alucard to the team, she immediately developed a cure for his Living Vampirism. Still, after orchestrating a heart-to-heart with Alucard, he revealed to her that he joined the team to cure his vampirism. Thus, Monica kept the cure securely stashed with her notes if she needed to use it against Alucard. For Kang, Monica played on her feelings of wanting to have a place to belong and, thus, granted her one and gave her a "name only" title. However, Monica met her match when she began to work with Roland Harris as the two of them bounce off of each other, manipulating and conning each other, creating a toxic relationship as she plays on his anarchy sensibilities. He plays on her need for control.

* **Expert Businesswoman:** Arguably a better business individual than Connor, Monica is incredible regarding the business side of things. Initially, she was only a partner at Dynamics Industries, but after she made tactical advances toward CFO, she began to employ and hire several members of different organizations worldwide. Such as blackmailing high-ranking officials within Rainbow and SHIELD, she was hiring several people within the FBI, bribing and blackmailing City Officials, and even having The Secretary of Defense in indefinite servitude as she has evidence linking him to three different conspiracies, five murders, and nine possible counts of treasons from his time of working with Obadiah Stane. It goes further - somehow - as Monica has connections to The Foot Clan, The Hand, and The Oniwaban—all of these contacts under the single goal of protecting Monica and her interests. After V-Day, Monica founded Eden Construction. This shell company used personal funds to buy up destroyed property in Manhattan and Las Vegas, turning them into competent businesses, essentially **buying** her way into legitimacy. This company was absorbed by Dynamics but allowed to continue operations as Monica posed it to Connor that it would enable him to generate funds to show both the board and the shareholders that the company isn't spending money hand-over-fist on experimentation. She also created the scholarship program to give Dynamics the appearance of being altruistic and other lines of production to generate funds for the company to fund their genetic research.

### Weaknesses

* **Mental Instability:** By no means is Monica crazy, but she does have some unorthodox tendencies. Monica believes that Shay and Jordan should be her sons due to her "having Patrick first." After discovering that Shay is Tarantula and Jordan is becoming a cop, she destroys her plans of experimenting on both of them. She begins to manipulate situations further to try to get them to become her sons. Monica went to Alexis to get her to get Shay and Jordan to meet Monica so that she could manipulate them both, but instead, she found a surrogate daughter that she never had. This only fueled her insane fantasy of a makeshift fantasy as she wanted Alexis, Shay, and Jordan to be her children. However, after Alexis died, Monica grieved as if she **did** lost a daughter. Still, now, believing herself to be more assertive with Roland, she has unveiled her plans to forcibly make Shay and Jordan her sons, something that Roland has agreed with fully as both see the potential of having someone like Shay who is Tarantula and Jordan who - at this point - became Iron Fist under their "paternal tutelage."

## Paraphernalia

### Equipment

* **Suits:** As a result of cracking the Shadow Physics subject, Monica had all her clothes redesigned with layers of protection from manufactured weapons such as knives, guns of all calibers, and mysticism. This was to protect herself if her security team were absent. The clothes are made from what Monica created to be called "Shadow Particles," which are highly durable particles given off when conducting Shadow Physics with atom-based products. The result - when combined with fabrics - was a nearly indestructible cloth that is only rivaled by Andre Lucas' skin.

* **The Appiani Family Tomb:** On her father's deathbed, he gifted Monica an enlarged framed photograph of The Appiani Family Tomb. While nothing significant to the average person, Monica hangs it in front of her bed, reminding her of the time she had the opportunity to kill her sister but chose not to. She had gained more memories attached to it as it began to remind her of the fact that the man she loved - Patrick Knight - was dead, the sons Monica **should've** had - Shay & Jordan - was Tarantula, and that she is actively trying to kill everyone near her. It would be taken briefly by people who broke into her home while she wasn't there. However, Roland would return it after torturing and killing the individuals responsible. Since gaining it back and having Roland in her life, it now simply reminds her that she finally has someone again, but this time, she is willing to kill for him.

* When asked why she is not interested in becoming a public villain such as Connor or others, Monica explains, "It's more fulfilling if they have no idea who is doing it to them."
