Kate Five was a tall, muscular woman with pale skin and long black hair. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1]]'', ''[[Symbiote Surprise (comic story)|Symbiote Surprise]]'', etc.) She was 6'2 and had crystal-blue eyes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'')

Katherine Jones grew up as a normal, if unusually athletic girl in a lower-class milieu. In school, she had trouble fitting in with either the “smart girls” or the “sports girls”, due to excelling both academically and athletically. She used her strength to protect other bullying victims, an early show of moral character. After finishing high school, she went to university, unlike most of the other girls in her school. She was noticed by [[Project Five]], a top-secret government project to pick up unusually talented students and give them superpowers. They imbued her with superstrength and durability, and gave her gloves inset with [[power crystal]]s through which to channel her strength more effectively. It was then that the new and improved Katherine began to go by the code-name of “Kate Five” in reference to the Project. Although she assumed the Project had given similar gifts to four others, she never actually encountered them during her time at Project Five.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Symbiote Surprise (comic story)|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 (comic story)|Symbiote Surprise]]'') in the aftermath of their discovery of [[Captain Perfect]]'s villainy. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, On Earth (comic story)|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]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1]]'')]]One evening, while patrolling the streets of [[Cardiff]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1]]'') a 22-year-old Kate ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Kate Five Bio (short story)|Kate Five Bio]]'') was alerted to a “priority code 337” — that is, a dangerous situation involving a superhuman. She rushed to the scene and found [[Eddie Brock|a blond man]] bonded to an oily [[symbiote|symbiotic]] entity on a rampage. She punched him, with her enhanced strength succeeding in dissociating the man from [[Ghede Nibo|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.

[[File:Centennia vs Kate Five.png|thumb|left|300px|[[Centennia]] is nearly killed by a symbiote-possessed Kate. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Symbiote Surprise (comic story)|Symbiote Surprise]]'')]]Still possessed, Kate travelled to [[New York City#In Reality Z-25 31-H|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 [[Ghede Nibo|the Symbiote]] to let go of her body, and it fled while Kate herself lost consciousness.
