In Reality Z-25 31-H, Kate Five was a British woman. She enjoyed a simple career as a superhero within Section P before her life took a turn for the morally-compromised when she accidentally bonded with a villainous shape-shifting symbiote known as Ghede.

Description

Physical appearance

Kate Five was a tall, muscular woman with pale skin and long black hair. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1, Symbiote Surprise, etc.) Her pre-symbiote crime-fighting outfit was a form-fitting jumpsuit, black and fuchsia, with gauntlets adorned with three purple crystals each. She kept her hair in a ponytail. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

After bonding with the Symbiote, she took to letting her hair down completely. She often used the symbiote itself as a costume, with it taking the form of a rubbery-looking all-black outfit, plus a pair of black earrings — with the only “real” item of clothing she wore being a pair of black boots. (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise) However, she could shift the degree to which the Symbiote's true nature was visible, from making her eyes turn all-black to letting the symbiote fully “hulk out” her body into a monstrous, muscular form with long claws, a large, toothy mouth, and pupil-less white eyes. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Personality

When in control of herself, Kate was a benevolent individual with a fun-loving, party-going attitude and a quick wit. She was interested in women, as evidenced by her falling in love (and lust) with Centennia. (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise) However, she evidenced a lack of deeper understanding of her friends. According to the Symbiote, even before it came along, her “good girl” persona was an act she put on, and she also concealed darker desires and impulses within her mind. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Powers & abilities

Kate Five was a competent fighter with superhuman strength even before she met the Symbiote. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1) After bonding with the Symbiote, her superhuman strength and resilience allowed her to go toe-to-toe with Centennia, (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise) and the fangs and claws she could grow were sufficient to maul even an experienced superhero to death if caught by surprise. However, she could still be hurt by sufficiently strong, skillful blows. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Biography

Early life

Kate Five acted, for some time, as a superhero within Section P, the British Ministry of Defence's superhero outfit. She developed a friendship with her fellow Section P member Battle Angel, alias Taki, and even developed a crush on her, to which she never dared to give voice. She also failed to ask Taki about her past, something she would later regret. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Meeting Centennia and the Odds

Kate flirst with Centennia during their first, casual meeting. (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise)

Kate Five first met the Odds when she attended a party attended by many superheroes, which they organised at the Fortress of Evening (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise) in the aftermath of their discovery of Captain Perfect's villainy. (COMIC: Meanwhile, On Earth) She crossed paths with Centennia, who'd just broken up with Perfect over the aforementioned incident, and developed a crush on her, attempting to flirt with her, though, at that time, the relationship did not go any further. (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise)

Bonding with Ghede

One evening, while patrolling the streets of Cardiff, Kate was alerted to a “priority code 337” — that is, a dangerous situation involving a superhuman. She rushed to the scene and found a blond man bonded to an oily symbiotic entity on a rampage. She punched him, with her enhanced strength succeeding in dissociating the man from the alien. However, the alien then jumped to her and possessed her instead, entering her mind and strengthening her darker impulses to induce a blissful, malicious state. The possessed Kate reported that she'd dealt with the situation and everything was fine.

She then returned to Section P's HQ, where she sized up her fellow team-members as potential host for further symbiotes. She honed in on Taki, whom she followed into the showers. There, Kate revealed her monstrous hybrid form and attacker her friend. Although Taki was able to briefly injure her, Kate and the symbiote's powers combined allowed the possessed Kate to overpower Taki and assault her, planting the seed of a new alien within her. Growing within moments, the new, blue-coloured creature attempted to bond with Taki's body, but she managed to throw it off and it hid down the shower drain.

Nexus Girl then arrived on the scene, attempting to figure out what was happening between Kate and Taki, only to be taken by surprise by the new symbiote and bond with it. Kate and the black symbiote were unable to persuade the symbiotic hybrid of Nexus Girl and the blue alien to listen to them, however, with the bonded Nexi instead electing to protect Taki, whom they saw as their mother. Blasted into the next room, the symbiote-bonded Kate killed veteran Section P member Aqua Marine as she made her escape. After her disappearance, Nexus Girl and her new symbiote bond-partner pledged to remain loyal to Nexi's friends and to help them track down Kate Five and separate her from the villainous symbiote. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Against the Odds

Centennia is nearly killed by a symbiote-possessed Kate. (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise)

Still possessed, Kate travelled to New York once again, intent on taking out the Odds. At the Fortress of Evening, Armstrong Fatbuckle let her in and she quickly despatched him before heading to the roof, where the rest of the Odds were partying. She suggested a drinking game, using a bottle of wine which she'd secretly drugged. Due to Centennia being the best poker player, she was the last Odd standing, and eventually realised Kate was not in her normal state of mind. The two fought, with Kate nearly choking the life out of the partially-drugged Centennia until Armstrong Fatbuckle's disembodied arm intervened, providing enough of a distraction for Centennia to land a punch on Kate and send her careening into the bell of the Fortress's belltower. The vibrations forced the Symbiote to let go of her body, and it fled while Kate herself lost consciousness.

After she came to, once more herself, the Odds reassured her that they didn't blame her for the things she'd done under the symbiote's influence, and Kate and Centennia finally shared a kiss. Since Kate had previously been using the symbiote as an outfit, the Blue Knight even went clothes-shopping for her, buying her clothes to wear on her way back to the U.K.. However, after saying her goodbyes to the Odds and leaving the Fortress, Kate was immediately ambushed by the symbiote, which forcibly bonded with her once again. (COMIC: Symbiote Surprise)
