The gothic, punk, anarchist **Missy Laurent** is better known to the mass public - both past, present, and future - as her villainous, anti-heroic alter-ego **Kang**. Born naturally in 1975 to parents Marko and Jessie Laurent, she died five minutes afterwards. However, the multiverse had other plans. Due to her native reality - Earth-6161 - not having a Shay Daniels and needing to compensate for that by creating Damien Cates and Lexi McFarlane, Missy was revived in 2085 for ensure that Lexi and Damien survive until such a time that they are destined to die. When Missy awoken in 2085, the multiverse impressed upon her the memories that she would have needed to better acclimate herself in the world but it was during the ***In Times New Roman...*** era and she saw a time-traveled Damien fighting King Crimson. Here, she was exposed to temporal energy that gifted her the ability to traverse timelines and psiconic abilities in order to allow her mind to accept all of the new information.

She would travel into the future - specifically 2088 - where she met an older Damien and the two began a relationship but she forced herself to leave this relationship after learning about her proper place in the timeline. However, she could never fully shake the feelings she had for Damien. Regardless, she began to jump around the timeline, creating incidents that would effect Damien and Lexi's life such as creating the Exhibition gang in the 90s to have them be set up for Damien to join in the 2010s and having a SHIELD Agent defect and create Overture in the late 60s to have Adam and Miranda join in the 80s.

More recently, Missy began to change more modern timeline events by creating specific villains from different realities in this reality. Such as creating the serum that would turn Leslie Mordun into Manhunter and changing Michael Dumas' birth parents to give him a rare blood disease in order to set him on the path of becoming The Radioactive Man. However, the only person to have figured this out is Alexis May of Earth-36. The two would clash inside of The Zinchari Conclave but Missy would retreat whenever Evan Edwards and Han Wylder showed up. This landed her on their radar and they began to track her as a result.

During the side-story ***Do The Evolution***, Missy would actually help Damien by defeating a villain that she had nothing to do with named Stellar. The two would become friends as a result but Missy would leave shortly thereafter. After discovering that someone else out there was altering the timeline - specifically for Damien and Lexi -, she formed the villain superteam **Hollow** to find out who was doing it and to try to stop Damien and Lexi from being vigilantes. This was to ensure that the timeline continuous to exist as if Damien and Lexi die before their time, The Void Hive and The Zinchari Conclave will begin to collapse as they are anomalies.

## **History**

### **Early Life**

Missy's life is messy and such it is for a time traveler. Technically, Missy was born in Brooklyn circa. 1975 on Earth-6161, a reality where Shay's unnamed father was never born and Jennifer Daniels didn't move from California to Las Vegas. Due to all of this, Shay Daniels was never born and he would never go on to become The Spectacular Tarantula and Missy followed her natural origin, dying as a stillborn five minutes after birth. This reality - later revealed - was created by Missy herself whenever she attempted to stop Bedlam and Widow being create but inadvertently, created them by stopping the birth of Shay Daniels. However, because of this, the multiverse moved Missy's birth to 2085 and revived her. When she reached the age of 18, Missy would be a witness to Bedlam and King Crimson's fight in the future, resulting in Missy gaining superhuman abilities, per the multiverse's wishes and with this, she would go on to learn how to master these abilities.

### **The King Crimson Saga**

First, Missy would discover her full heritage and meaning behind her powers which led to her traveling back to The Dark Ages where she encountered a man named Leonard Kristoff who was a fledgling mage in King Arthur's court. However, why Missy was intrigued by Leonard was that he had been studying a mysterious setting known as The Nightosphere and upon telling him the truth of her origins, Leonard revealed that a book - hailing from The Nightosphere - called Katerzuit had told a section detailed about Missy. Once she learned of this, she stole the book and fled into the time-stream, arriving at the very beginning of the universe to encounter the primordial being, Apollyon who was the creator of The Nightosphere. She didn't interact with him but she did watch him, closely. She watched him create Dead World - the original Nightosphere - and then watched it fail and Apollyon create The Nightosphere proper. It was here that she did interact with him, asking him of what he knows about her. Apollyon revealed that he has always known who she was and Apollyon bestowed memories that she wouldn't have until she experienced them but this caused her to lose her mind and leave the book with Apollyon.

As she learned all of reality and the universe, Missy became schizophrenic and lost her sanity. She adopted the moniker of King Crimson and attacked Bedlam because she saw him as the source of all of her problems. She created a time travel device that would harness her energy and send her to places in time as she couldn't use her abilities normally on account of her schizophrenia. However, this plan backfired whenever they entered 2085 and

## **Attributes**

### **Powers**

**Nightospherian Multiversal Causality/Timeline Paradox**: As a result of Damien and Lexi taking the place of Shay Daniels in this reality, the multiverse created a counter-part to both of them in the form of Missy. Being a multiversal causality is not something to rejoice as Missy is at the whims and command of the multiverse and it is because of this, she is unable to settle in place in the timeline. She is a timeline paradox as she was born in 1955 but exists all throughout time because of how much she has traveled. Where she is going is where she has already been. Once, Missy attempted to change her fate by changing her birth parents but this resulted in nothing happening as she couldn't change it but instead nearly killed herself by doing it. Wherever there is a dated time, Missy is there and this was the case prior to her being born as Damien actually met her during the ***In Times New Roman...*** era whenever he fought King Crimson on Pangaea. That version of Missy had time traveled after the ***Do The Evolution*** story to watch how Damien fights to plan for their future encounters and this was before - chronologically - Missy gained her abilities because that fight ended when Damien and King Crimson going to 2085 where Missy got her powers to begin with. Unbeknownst to Missy at the time, King Crimson was herself. Later, Missy would learn the origin of her abilities which was from The Nightosphere as the multiverse and The Nightosphere are connected by way of Nightospherian Mutates but due to her not being one, she was created **by** The Nightosphere.

* **Temporal Energy Manipulation/ "The Evolution Wave"/The Traveler Supreme**: As a result of being within close proximity of King Crimson's unstable time travel device, Missy was flooded with extreme levels of temporal energy that ended with her gaining the ability to traverse throughout the specific timeline of Earth-6161. Where as she can change some outcomes, she cannot effect the universe as a whole nor can she affect superheroes as she tried to stop Damien from gaining the symbiote but this backfired because the multiverse corrected itself by essentially blue screening Missy's abilities. She can only alter characters around superheroes (ie. individuals who have no overall bearing on the multiverse such as civilians) which is how she was able to alter otherwise normal civilians to become villains like Manhunter and The Radioactive Man. She also cannot alter, what she has dubbed as "evolutionary events", because those specific events will alter the course of the universe and this is because of multiverse - once again - blue screening her abilities but she can move anywhere in the timeline of Earth-6161 with ease and freedom.
* **Telepathy**: Being a causality of the multiverse, Missy was forced to absorb information on a massive scale and to compensate for this, she was bestowed with powerful psiconic abilities that allow for her to process the information and protect her own mind against the insanity that is both the multiverse and the timeline. She can read minds in a sixty-foot radius of herself as well as project images, her own thoughts, and more. She does not rank highly on the list of powerful telepaths but she is a gifted one, nevertheless.
	+ **Telepathic Illusions**: With her ability of telepathy, Missy's most used and most seen ability to conjure mental illusions and project them outward to a wide-array of people within sixty-feet of herself. These telepathic illusions are so great that they were able to fool Damien who has a high-resistance to telepathic intrusion due to Bedlam being connected to The Void Hive. She has been able to generate entire cities, weapons, armies of people, and even showcase historical events through this ability. Interestingly, whenever she does conjure psychic weapons, they seemingly become tangible and actually will inflict harm. However, Lexi theorized that it was her connecting to the person's mind and making them believe that they were harmed by the weapon.

### **Abilities**

* **Expert Historian**: As a result of her abilities, Missy has become an expert historian in all historical events as she was literally there to witness them. She was there during Dunkirk, The Roaring 20s. The Great Depression, The Gulf War, and more. Most of the time she was a spectator but sometimes Missy would intervene in smaller situations that wouldn't change the outcome of the event and typically did it for her own amusement. Such as whenever she took away Edison's light-bulb for three hours then put it back.
* **The Traveler Supreme**: A by-product of her abilities has granted Missy the title of *The Traveler Supreme* because of her incredible time travel abilities. Originally, her abilities were limited. However, after forming Hollow, Missy would discover the full totality of her abilities. While she cannot alter "evolutionary events", she learned that she was not limited to only the Earth-6161 timeline and this allowed her to visit all timelines related to The Zinchari Conclave, Void Knights, and Nightospherian Mutates, such as: Earth-30, Earth-505, Earth-47, Earth-36, and more. Here, she learned that can alter the future and past - events that are not evolutionary events but will not destroy the timelines - and amass more knowledge on time and the multiverse. It was here that Missy discovered that she - herself - was King Crimson and granted herself abilities as that version of herself lost her mind due to learning of the alternate timelines. Here, she would stop herself from becoming King Crimson by killing that paradox of herself. She would then decide to return to her own time of 2085 but it was here that she ended up in an dystopian war-torn future ruled by anachronistic weapons. A future that she caused whenever she stopped herself from becoming King Crimson. Forced to correct the timeline by allowing herself to become King Crimson, Missy would take the paradoxical weapons from the previously war-torn future in order to appear in ***Do The Evolution*** as Kang, The Conqueror, completing the loop of her life. It is because of this and her extensive knowledge of timelines and the multiverse that has led to Apollyon dubbing her *The Traveler Supreme*. As confusing as this may be, it is important to note that Missy's powers are described better by Evan Edwards, "Where she has been, is where she will be and vice versa. She exists everywhere and nowhere. Where there is an event, there is a Kang. And where there is a Kang, there is an event."

### **Weaknesses**

* **The Zinchari and The Void Hive**: As a by-product of The Zinchari Conclave and The Void Hive, she is incredibly weak to these meta-physical concepts. When she was within The Zinchari Conclave and fighting Alexis, she was unable to use her timeline ability and her telepathy abilities were significantly reduced and she barely escaped with her life because of a portal that was opened by Han Wylder on accident. It is believed - by Evan Edwards - that continuous exposure to The Zinchari Conclave would lead to her being killed as she is cut off from temporal energies. However, it is important to note that she is not weak to Void Knights as she has bested Damien in during the side-story ***Do The Evolution*** where she beat him savagely which forced him to retreat.
