| History & Notes: | ||||||||||||
| Kara began her villainous career as the felon known as Plantmistress. She and her | ||||||||||||
| two partners Shock and Earthshaker committed small-time acts of crime until they decided | ||||||||||||
| to make a name for themselves by defeating the up and coming hero Spectre. They failed | ||||||||||||
| in their attempt, but got enough notoriety to attract the attention of the Rose, who hired | ||||||||||||
| them as extra muscle during a very sensitive exchange with the alien known as Orion. Of | ||||||||||||
| course, a fight broke out and during the battle Frostbite killed Earthshaker. Kara was | ||||||||||||
| shocked by her friend's sudden and violent death, and subsequently fled the battle. | ||||||||||||
| Kara took several months off to heal from the emotional damage of Earthshaker's | ||||||||||||
| death. Besides, her worth as a hired villain was totally shot anyway since she had fled from | ||||||||||||
| the fight. Shortly thereafter, Kara heard through the grapevine that her other ex-partner | ||||||||||||
| in crime, Shock, had also been killed by the same man. Kara had never liked Shock all that | ||||||||||||
| much, and thus her death was more of an inspiration than a tragedy. So Kara decided to | ||||||||||||
| get back into the crime scene, but not as a villain. Kara began selling information and plans | ||||||||||||
| to other small-time crooks, giving them leads and instructions in exchange for a cut of the | ||||||||||||
| profit. She enjoyed a moderate amount of success in her new line of work, but missed the | ||||||||||||
| action and adrenaline she used to get from doing it herself. One of her customers began to | ||||||||||||
| ask her about other villains, looking for a partner to help him in his crimes. Kara liked the | ||||||||||||
| guy, knew he was reliable, and her powers fit his motif - so it came as no surprise when she | ||||||||||||
| offered to team up with him herself. Calling herself Vine now, Kara has teamed up with the | ||||||||||||
| villain known as Poison Oak. Having learned from her mistakes, Vine is back and better | ||||||||||||
| than ever. | ||||||||||||
