Winter Skrull (Kamala Khan) (Earth-6303)

## Appearance

A young, Pakistani American woman who stands at 5’4”, weighs 125 lbs, has brown eyes and shaved brown hair. Her skin is a light brown color. After she was transformed into the Winter Skrull, her appearance changed drastically. While the majority of her skin is still the same light brown, she has green spots of skin across her body, most notably on her chin, which is a multi-cleft Skrull chin. Her left arm became permanently stuck in a rock form, much like The Thing. Her legs began to produce fire, and her right arm became stretchy and long. While this is her natural and default form, it should be noted that she has the ability to shapeshift and can change her appearance, though this is taxing to her.

Kamala’s nomad costume was a modified version of Earth-616's Bucky’s outfit, a dark blue leather pea coat, the same color as her hijab, along with red pants with white stars up and down the sides. She now wears a purple and black hydra jumpsuit, with a hydra symbol chiselled into her left arm.

## Powers/Abilities

* **Elongation**: Kamala can extend her limbs, torso, or neck to great distances. It should be noted that her rock hand can also be stretched.
* **Size Alteration**: Kamala can adjust her height and stature adding upon her already impressive physical abilities, from shrinking to the size of an action figure, to grow as tall as a building structure. With this ability she has also made her body as thin as paper.
* **Accelerated Healing Factor**: Kamala is capable of rapidly healing from injuries such as bullet wounds; however, use of her other powers interrupts the healing process, requiring Kamala to maintain her normal appearance while recovering. Extensive healing also leaves Kamala heavily-fatigued and hungry.
* **Appearance Alteration**: Kamala possesses the power to alter her physical appearance including her hair and clothing
* **Peak Human Strength**: Kamala’s strength is enhanced using genetic engineering and Skrull DNA. She is strong enough to break a solid wall with a single punch. It should be noted that her left arm is even stronger, being on par with the Thing or the Hulk
* **Peak Human Speed**: Because of her training and her altered genetics, Kamala is capable of running and moving at speeds faster than any Olympic-class runner.
* **Peak Human Agility**: Kamala’s equilibrium, coordination, dexterity, and flexibility is enhanced to levels that are beyond the physical limits of any Olympic gold medallist.
* **Enhanced Balance**: Kamala's balance and dexterity are in levels superior to that of the world's most highly trained humans.
* **Flight**: Kamala can form a jet of fire from her feet, directed behind her, which allows her to achieve flight. This ability does not work in space.

## Skills

* **Military Training**: Kamal is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, having been extensively trained in the art of warfare by both the Human and the Skrull military.
* **Aviation**: Kamala has been trained to fly spaceships.

## Weaknesses

* **Electromagnetic Pulses:** Kamala’s body is vulnerable to EMPs, which can weaken her elasticity, and interfere with her other powers. They are very dangerous to her.
* **Overexerted Healing:** Overuse of her healing factor temporarily weakens Winter Skrull's elasticity powers.

## Personality

A cheery, kind girl who always tries to do what she thinks is right, Kamala is a fun, slightly nerdy girl with a strong sense of justice. She will fight for what she believes in. She is a natural leader, easy to get along with, and good at sensing others emotions.

## History

Kamala Khan is a Pakistani-American girl from New Jersey. She grew up in a supportive family, fantasizing about being a hero and exploring the unknown areas of space. She was never interested in joining the military, until a group of Skrull-Supremacist terrorists known as HYDRA attacked her family, angered by her brother's marriage to Kamala’s Skrull sister in law and disgusted by the ‘abomination’ that is her Skrull-human hybrid nephew. This attack left her brother dead, having died protecting his wife and son.

This incident inspired her to enlist. In her grief she found comfort in her family, her faith, and especially in her sister in law and her young nephew. She began to wear her Hijab more often, wanting to make it clear to others that she is Muslim and help represent her community in the military. She also did it because, after her brother's death, she thought deeply about her religious beliefs, struggling with them in her head. Shortly after being enlisted she was limited to flying stunts as part of public relations, as she was one of the only females of color who had enlisted. She quickly became friends with Monica Rambeau, a fellow pilot and stuntwoman. As two of the only women of color there, they watched each other's backs.

After Steve Rogers, a scientist who was working on a super soldier project, saw Monica defend Kamala from a fellow soldier who had been harassing her, he took Monica under his wing and recommended her for Project Rebirth. This eventually led to the creation of Captain America. As Monica began to be assigned more dangerous mission and was given more power, she used this to help others who had been sidelined from the war become more involved as well, specifically Kamala, who had become a close confidant to Monica. Well she did not have powers, kamala was put under s strict fighting regime and given (at the time) very advanced weaponry so that she could fight alongside Monica as a member of her team of elite soldiers, the Howling Commandos, and took on the identity of Nomad.

During a fight against HYDRA, Kamala was badly injured while rescuing the rest of the Commandos. Monica, wanting to get her somewhere safe, placed Kamala on an escape pod, which she planned to pick up later. Sadly, Monica lost the fight, and was captured for a short amount of time. During this time Kamala was discovered by HYDRA agents and taken prisoner. While everyone assumed Kamala was dead, and she was pronounced MIA, she actually was in a hidden HYDRA laboratory, where a Skrull scientist by the name of Kl’rt used genetic engineering, torture, and brainwashing to turn her into their ultimate weapon, the Winter Skrull.

As the Winter Skrull, Kamala was assigned to do a number of dangerous assassinations, and became a legend. She was kept in suspended animation between jobs, which is why she has not aged much. She is a living weapon, a legendary assassin, and one of the most dangerous people alive. Well there may be some of her old self hidden deep down, for now it is best not to be caught in her crosshairs.

## Trivia & Quotes

* Prior to becoming the Winter Skrull, Kamala enjoyed watching and researching about superheroes and writing fan fictions about them. In her downtime, she also enjoyed watching cartoons.
* Kamala hated bigots, and people that either underestimate her or her her friends.
