In Reality Z-25 31-H, a spawnling of the alien symbiote Ghede Nibo was born through Battle Angel shortly after Ghede possessed Kate Five. Bonding with Kate's fellow Section P member, Nexus Girl, minutes after its birth the symbiote initially did not differentiate between its mind and Nexus Girl's, stating “we are Nexus Girl” when asked about its identity. It later adopted the name Eros.

Description

Physical appearance

As a symbiote creature, Eros had no stable form when not bonded to another being, appearing as a shape-changing, living ooze. In his case, he was sky-blue, whereas his father was an oily black. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Personality

In contrast to the father-symbiote's expectations, the Spawnling was not automatically loyal to him, instead electing to protect his human “mother” Taki. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Powers & abilities

As a symbiote, the Spawnling had the ability to merge with a humanoid host upon contact and form a psychic pond with them, provided the bond was not rejected by the would-be host via an act of will. After the young Spawnling bonded with Nexus Girl, their merged consciousness had full control of Nexis powers, including levitation and the hurling of bolts of energy from Nexi's hands. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Biography

Birth

Battle Angel rejects possession by the newly-formed Spawnling. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

One evening, while patrolling the streets of Cardiff, Kate Five became possessed by an alien symbiote which amplified the darkness in her subconscious. Concealing her state, the possessed Kate 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 where she was heading after a workout. 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. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

Bonding with Nexus Girl

The Spawnling merges with Nexus Girl. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)

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)

Adventures with Nexi

Six months after her transformation, (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2) she ended up in Angel Falls, where she nearly killed Guardian Ms. Blitzen. After the battle was over, Sir James Carey, Battle Angel and the Eros-bonded Nexus Girl visited Ms. Blitzen in hospital to try to get more information about Kate's newfound capabilities. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 3)

The Ero-possessed Nexus Girl, flanked by Battle Angel, intimidates a vampire bouncer at the Bleeding Rose. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)

Shortly after Kate's rampage in Angel Falls, she was smuggled out of containment by an unknown party (secretly her twin sister Kimmy). After a few weeks of no news surfacing (as Kate was being held captive and studied by her sister), Nexus Girl and Battle Angel returned to Angel Falls, visting the Bleeding Rose in the hope of picking up her trail after she'd disappeared once again (with Eros briefly warping Nexi's face to a monstrous form to convince the bouncer to let them in).

Spotting them instantly among his patrons, Marcus had Lori tell Battle Angel to speak with him. Meanwhile, the Eros-bonded Nexi, who was unfamiliar with such a seedy environment, was persuaded by two women to join them in a sexual encounter, later being embarrassed at how easily she had been convinced to do so. At any rate, though Marcus initially tried to convince Battle Angel that Kate was a lost cause, he was impressed with Battle Angel's insistence that her friend was still good deep down and merely driven to evil acts by the Symbiote's insistence. Deeming her passionate loyalty “refreshing”, he agreed to help the heroines. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
