Kelly: Difference between revisions

[[File:Kelly gains powers.png|thumb|right|200px|Kelly is experimented on. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Journey Into Misery (comic story)|Journey Into Misery]]'')]]Angered at her mockery, K'orr'h ordered the two humans to be used as experimental test subjects by [[Professor Xwumb'h]]. The erratic mad scientist, seemingly not realising the inherent problem of logistics involved, performed experiments on them which, while painful, he surmised might give them superpowers; indeed they did, and, letting her anger loose, Kelly destroyed the ship and its crew in a blast of fire. She also tried to kill Jenkins in the melee, but it turned out that the superpowers ''he'' had gained included mild invulnerability. After calming down, Kelly had no choice but to take him back to Earth with her, as they were still handcuffed to each other by chains of alien metal that defied even her strength.

===Turn to darkness===

After spending some time fruitlessly trying to resume a normal life while handcuffed to [[Jenkins]], Kelly contacted her old friend [[Professor Madison]]. An appointment was made, and she flew Jenkins and herself to Madison's laboratory in the Mojave Desert. There, Madison easily broke their shackles using [[The Rabbit|a robot she'd been working on]], but asked them to stay for a few days so that she could analyse the two's powers and help them understand them.  

She came to just in time to finish the robot off — and this even though it had been freed from Richard' control in the intervening time and developed an individual conscience. Although Jenkins and Madison soon excused Kelly's apparent crime, suggesting that Kelly had still been unconscious when the robot had started to talk, it was clear from Kelly's confused reaction that she had known perfectly well what she was doing.

=== An oasis of horrors! ===

[[File:Kelly and explosion.png|thumb|right|220px|Kelly suffers the brunt of the explosion of the bomb she threw an impossible distance away. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Oasis of Horror (comic story)|Oasis of Horror]]'')]]The two headed home by car, with [[Jenkins]] driving, but he managed to crash the vehicle into the one tree in the entire desert. Kelly used her flight to carry the two of them further, and they ended up finding an oasis. They bathed and rested there for a little while before being startled by a [[Midwesterners (Oasis of Horror)|group of humanoid monsters]]. They took refuge in a house built near the oasis, whose [[Villain (Oasis of Horror)|seemingly human owner]] explained that he was being besieged by the monsters, and invited them to stay the night.  

However, in the night, the "monsters" broke down one of the barricaded walls and abducted Jenkins. They explained to him that, although odd-looking, they were fairly normal and the actual owners of the house, while the farmer with the gun was the real villain. After he explained the same thing to Kelly, the two returned to the house; the villain had disappeared, living behind a bomb that Kelly disposed of. Thankful, the house's owners gave the Two their car with which to continue their journey home. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Oasis of Horror (comic story)|Oasis of Horror]]'')

=== Fleeing from the Bureau of Singularity ===

[[File:Kelly and a Crocodile.png|thumb|left|220px|Kelly faces a crocodile agent of the [[Bureau of Singularity]] in the sewers of [[New York City|New York]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Life… in the Heart of the City (comic story)|Life… in the Heart of the City]]'')]]After returning to [[New York City|New York]], Kelly officially decided to become a supervillain in order to fund her “expensive lifestyle”, despite [[Jenkins]]'s weak protests. However, she had no time to put this into effect before the two were beset by agents of the [[Bureau of Singularity]] intent on erasing them from existence to correct a “temporal anomaly”; according to them, the two were meant to have died in space during their first adventure, and their ongoing existence was a breach of the laws of Time. Fleeing through New York, the two eventually found refuge among a community of amateur performance artists whose paradoxical eccentricity confused the Bureau's sensors, rendering the two harder to detect.

=== The Singularity War ===

[[File:Kelly blasts pool.png|thumb|right|230px|Kelly captures the [[Pool Portal]] from an agent of the Bureau of Singularity, cutting off his escape. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Singularity War (comic story)|Singularity War]]'')]]Growing tired of hiding, Kelly and [[Jenkins]] decided to take the fight to the Bureau. They began to corner isolated agents of the Bureau to fight them, with Kelly ultimately managing to follow one back to [[Portal Pool|one of the camouflaged portals]] to the [[Nexus of Realities]] which the Bureau maintained in [[Reality Z-25 31-H]]. After capturing the portal (damaging it somewhat in the process), Kelly brought it back to [[Professor Madison]] at the [[Fortress of Evening]]. Madison repaired it and helped put together a team of heroes to take the fight to the Bureau's headquarters, using the “Omega Protocol” of [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]]'s computer. In the end, Kelly, Jenkins, Madison, [[Rodney Rabbit|Rodney]], [[Terry Tornado]] and [[Mysto the Space-Wizard]] ended up going through the Portal.

The Reality Z-25 31-H heroes managed to breach the outer walls of the Bureau's headquarters. Turning invisible (in Madison's case, thanks to Mysto's magic), Jenkins and Madison went off to sneak into the office of the [[Director of Singularity]], while the rest provided a distraction by starting a fight with the Bureau's agents on the ground floor. Kelly, owing to her fire-powers and superstrength, acquitted herself far better than the others, and was the only fighter still standing when Jenkins and Madison returned having won the day through trickery rather than brute force. There, Kelly gave sincere thanks to Madison and headed back home, voicing her intention to live a normal life for a little while, not using her powers.  ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Singularity War (comic story)|Singularity War]]'')
