Almost two decades ago the Scientist Supreme of A.I.M., the renowned Italian biochemist Monica Rappaccini gave birth to a child, which she named Thasanee, that had been biologically engineered to become the ultimate weapon. Placed in the care of two undercover A.I.M. agents, Thasanee Rappaccini's name was changed to Carmilla Black and she was raised as a normal child. It wasn't until her high-school prom, where she was crowned queen, that her toxic powers manifest and she accidentally killed her boyfriend. After that tragedy, she fled and went underground for three years.
Three years after fleeing her hometown, she returned to settle the affairs of her murdered parents - apparently murdered by A.I.M. to bring her out into the open. In a security deposit box, she discovered the first piece of a mystery - a certificate with her real name and place of birth.
When A.I.M. attempted to capture Black she fought back. Apprehended by S.H.I.E.L.D., Black was equipped with a gauntlet to control her powers and track her location so that she could lead S.H.I.E.L.D. to the secret location of A.I.M.'s ruling council as the Scorpion.
Recently, Carmilla seems to have taken up work as a superhuman mercenary, as she is sent to New York to retrieve the armor of the original Scorpion, now in the possession of the Hood. Now dressed in her own version of the classic costume, Carmilla tangles with the friendly neighbor-hood Spider-Man when he stumbles onto a gladiatorial contest between many of New York's common criminals for the honor of becoming the new Scorpion and getting a seat in the Hood's gang. Seeking to remove all interference, she temporarily disables his powers with SPIN Tech before going for the costume, but is caught by the Hood and badly beaten. Only saved by Spider-Man, having shaken off the effects of the nanites, Carmilla aids him in bringing down the assembly of criminals, before escaping with her prize. That night, she gives the costume to the Kravenoff family, who hired her to obtain it based on her totemic connection to the costume.
