Cruel Karla

She would deny she is cruel, she would say practical. When she wants her way or needs a problem or obsticle removed she will get down and dirty and do what it takes to get it done, even if it means being cruel...err, i mean practical.

From the cover of Tbolts 32. Fighting both the ShockTroopers and Brute Force from the Imperial Forces was a tough battle, they had lost the first encounter, and then Hawkeye's plan backfired, like she warned him it would. So she has to cut loose to try to salvage the mission. With some unexpected help from the US Agent and Jury the Tbolts came out on top.

Stranded in Kosmos with no apparent way out Moonstone strikes a deal with the Vizier to "scratch each others backs". Her part was to take out the current leader Primotur Jekuakkekt, in return safe passage for the team home to earth. Cruel and practical, but what happens when Hawkeye finds out? From Tbolts 14.

After a new Beetle armor makes an appearance the team goes to check it out, only to engage in a battle, in the heat of a fight, one thing you can count on, Karla wants to win, whether it would be against a teammate or lifelong enemy. From issue 36.

Karla is not beyond being...practical in getting her point across. This time after listening to Techno's whinnings about having to keep a lowly profile early on in the Tbolts caper to rule the world...she "convinces" him to fall in line!

After Mr. Immortal spouts off about how they can't really hurt him...Karla "corrects" his wrong thinking!

Cruel? No, not at all. Zemo deserved this. A real hilite in Tbolt history!
