Omega Sentinel (Karima Shapandar) : Marvel (Appears in 294 Issues). Check the group & ICUFC Page for previous listings in this series.
A human Sentinel. Freed of her mutant extermination protocols, she struggles to maintain what little humanity she has remaining.
Origin: Karima Shapandar was a successful detective for the Indian National Police in Calcutta, India. When the eldest son, Sanjit of Police Chief Shaara disappeared mysteriously, Karima was assigned to protect his younger son, Neal Shaara, Against his father’s wishes, Neal took the initiative and sought out the individuals who had last seen his brother Sanjit, a journalist who was in the midst of investigating a story. Karima trailed Neal from a distance but, when he was attacked by a street gang, she had no choice but to intervene. Karima made short work of the gang given her superior hand-to-hand combat training.
Karima decided to assist Neal in digging deeper into the story his brother was working on before his disappearance. However, many of Sanjit’s sources refused to talk, mostly out of fear of an unknown source. Karima and Neal realized that something serious and horrible was occurring in the streets of Calcutta. During their time together investigating, Karima and Neal found themselves attracted to one another, as an emotional bond grew between the two. After days of searching, Karima suggested that they take one night off for themselves. However, their investigation had not gone unnoticed. As the pair were about to share their first kiss, they were attacked and easily subdued by Bastion, and his Prime Sentinels. Neal's brother had been turned into a sentinel.
Sanjit fought his programming long enough to disable the other Sentinels, but died in the process. As Neal cradled Sanjit’s body, Shapandar quietly told Neal to run. She had discovered that she too was a Prime Sentinel; humans transformed into sentinels and set up as 'sleeper' agents, unaware of their programming until a nearby mutant activated them (as in Neal's usage of his mutant powers). Neal refused, saying he loved Karima. Karima begged him to leave, saying she couldn't hold on much longer. Neal was forced to flee.
Powers:
As a Sentinel, specifically a Prime Sentinel Karima is outfitted with advanced technology, surpassing that of most other Sentinel models. These models strength capacity allowing them to lift circa 70 tons, the ability to move at superhuman speeds, and superhuman durability (in particular due to Electric Isolation, a special resistance to electric attacks and damage) with regenerative capabilities. Increased agility and great senses, making her a great battle combatant. Adding in that even prior to her physical augmentation she was a trained and experienced fighter.
She has a multitude of implants making her a cyborg. Among the things she's equipped with are Sentinel-like energy guns allowing her to manipulate energy on a sub-atomic scale, jet booster allowing flight and various radar and scanning devices. She can also project holographic images and has a great resistance to electrical signals. genetically encoded with Sentinel Prime technology, granting her superhuman strength, reflexes, and durability, telescopic and x-ray vision, proximity sensors, bio-scanning and monitoring, individual bio-tagging and locating, an internal CPU with satellite modem access, vast data storage and collating capacity, long-range interactive holograms, target identification and acquisition locks, nannites capable of bio-mechanical regeneration and threat adaptation changes, self-propelled flight, extendible finger-knives and armor-piercing darts, and a large array of retractable devices in her shoulders, wrists, abs, thighs, and shins, including searchlights, volt-casters, lasers, plasma knives, sonic disruptors, neural disruptors, nitrogen and flame weapons, and rail guns.
