Known Powers:
Darkforce Manipulation: Darkstar has the ability to wield a form of extradimensional energy known as the Darkforce. Darkstar can form simple Darkforce shapes such as pincers, spheres, columns, and rings by mental commands. She can affect up to 2 areas at any time, and increase the density of the Darkforce to Amazing Material Strength. If using Darkforce material as a weapon, she can fire it as a beam causing up to Incredible damage with a range of 2 areas. The Darkforce can be used to support structures as if it were Incredible strength material. If Darkstar is rendered unconscious, her Darkforce constructs will dissipate.
Teleportation: Darkstar can enter the Darkforce dimension and use it to teleport up to 1 mile with Remark able accuracy. She may take up to three individuals with her on a teleport. Anyone using this form of teleportation may not perform any other action during the round when teleportation occurs and anyone attacking them gets a +2CS, as transit in this fashion is highly disorienting (even for Darkstar herself). It takes Darkstar an entire round to open a portal to the Darkforce Dimension that she uses to teleport.
Flight: Darkstar can also manipulate the Darkforce to partially neutralize the effects of gravity, allowing her Good Air Speed. She can hover in place without effort or penalty.
Talents:
Darkstar speaks English and Russian fluently.
Contacts:
Though she no longer works for the Soviet government she may have contacts in it. She could most likely prevail upon Iceman (and through him, X-Factor) for help.
Role-Playing Notes:
Darkstar’s loyalties are to the Russian people, not the government. She is a hero first and a Russian second and, of all of the Super Soldiers, relates best to non-Soviets.
History:
Laynia Petrovna is a mutant born to a nuclear physicist and wife who were accidentally irradiated during an experiment. When her mother died in childbirth, Petrovna’s father was told that she and her twin brother died in childbirth as well. The mutant infants were taken into state custody and when their powers manifested themselves in adolescence, they were turned over to Professor Piotr Phobos who had started an academy for the training of mutants. Given the code-name Darkstar, Petrovna studied at the academy alongside her brother Nicolai Krylenko (code named Vanguard) and trained to be a government agent. Soon after the academy was shut down, Darkstar was sent to the U nit ed States in a mission accompanying the fourth Crimson Dynamo. The mission aborted, she joined the Champions of Los Angeles for several months until the team disband ed. Returning to her homeland, she joined her brother and two others to form the Soviet Super-Soldiers.
