#character: karolina dean

[grimmusings]

(Aggressively) ⭐ 🥹

⭐ Oliver Queen (Arrowverse) + Kat Squieri (OC): I don't know if this would be the best combination or the worst à la Loki, but I kind of want to find out? I can see the battlefield vibe for them that she has with Cassian, but Ollie does not have his sense of humor (and he's a very mean trainer 😅). But honestly he probably needs someone who can clap back at him.

⭐ Leo Timens (The Wizard of Oz) + James Nicholls (OC): I'd LOVE to write Leo and Will into James's veteran backstory, but of the two of them, Leo would be a lot more understanding and way less angsty about finding out that James has been alive all this time. Sadly, James would have to come to him because my agoraphobic cowardly lion never leaves his bookstore.

⭐ Karolina Dean (Marvel) + Victor Von Doom (Marvel): Funny story about how the Runaways once befriended a Doombot, but this is actually sort of mean because Karolina would probably be terrified to meet the real Doom. Could be silly shenanigans if he's wearing his mask and she mistakes him for their bot friend though.

⭐ Mordred ó Dubhuir (Arthuriana) + Kassadin Squieri (OC): Throwing you four because this one is pure stupidity, but I just really want Mordred and Kass to take one look at each other and either go, "Holy shit, we're identical!" or "I don't see the resemblance."

Hello people I just fully discovered the goddess that is Karolina Dean and was wondering if anyone had any comic recommendations? Or if she appeared in other media (I am aware of the Runaways show. I am still mad about it) I would be most grateful for pointers 🙏

Also just any recommended starting point for the Runaways as a whole because this shit looks interesting as hell.

@tornreality sent 🌹 to give my muse flowers. from nico

despite the fact that it was valentine's day, she hadn't expected to have any kind of celebration with nico. sure, karolina had gotten her chocolates and a necklace that she'd scoured the local second hand stores for, but nico was much more fickle. she took the flowers from her, holding the bouquet close to her chest to inhale the sweet scent. "they're perfect!" she exclaimed, smiling brightly. "thank you, nico! happy valentine's day."

Bc of all this stuff of "Billy is the first gay character in the MCU", I have decided to compile a list of queer characters in the MCU, sorted by date so y'all know who the actual firsts are

The conditions are thus:

It is confirmed in the project by either the character themselves or by another person. Maybe they speak of a partner, or say "I'm gay" onscreen

It is confirmed outside of the project by a director, actor, writer, etc. The specific thing about this is that it must be spoken about openly, not just "oh I like that idea!". No, it must be said, "yes, we intended for this" "this character is queer", you get the idea. This means cases like where Chloe Bennet voiced support for an openly bi Daisy Johnson in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will not be counted, for while she does like it, she doesn't confirm Daisy as bi

The project must be set in the MCU timeline. If it is the subject of a multiverse, then that must be when the multiverse started branching out. "Deadpool and Wolverine" counts, but all other X-Men movies will not count

With these conditions, it also means cases like Iceman will not be considered, as even though him being a mutant is written like a coming out scene, he is still treated as being entirely het

Does that make sense? Good, let's get going

Victoria Hand (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, 2013-2014): Lesbian, confirmed by actress

WLWMEME: 9/9 tv characters ♡ karolina dean (runaways)

I was afraid to embrace my powers, to be different. To be a freak. But, my true light, it comes from being both human and alien. I'm something new.

[hadesisqueer]

if you could make a marvel only queer superhero team who'd be in it?

Honey, the 'only queer superhero team' already exists. It's called Young Avengers (2013) lmao.

But if I could make one myself? Idk. America Chavez, Wiccan and Hulkling, obviously. Nico Minoru and Karolina Dean. Viv Vision. Speed and David Alleyne. Xavin. Oh and Gwenpool too. Include Julie Power while we're at it too because she's nice, I like her powers and also for the very possible initial awkwardness of Karolina being on a team with her girlfriend and her two exes lmao.

I know I simply just kinda combined a bunch of Young Avengers and a bunch of Runaways with a few others because I'm mainly including characters and couples I like. And I don't care. This lineup would be funny as hell. Sue me lmao.

I was influenced by superheroes at the young age. The first one I was inspired by was DC because I used to watch the old Batman animated series, also the Justice League animated series. Marvel also got into my inspiration manifestation later when I watched Avengers with my family and I usually root for the good guys, especially Thor, who is a total hunk. These references made me think of making a Trolls Superhero AU, which is composed of OCs and Canon characters. Now, let’s meet the terrific trio themselves, Queen Rose as Captain Sterling, Queen Poppy as Rainbow Girl, and Branch as the mysterious Psionyx.

Captain Sterling Real Name: Rosita “Rosetta” Barbara V. Madrigal Alias: Titanium Queen, Leap of Faith, Lil’ Ace Superpowers: Invulnerability, Flight, Super Strength, Super Speed, Heat Vision (including Solar Flare), Super Hearing, Super Vision (including X-ray Vision, microscopic vision, and telescopic vision, overuse causes headaches), Super Breath (including Ice Breath), Accelerated Healing, Energy Manipulation (it includes absorption and generation), Partial alien physiology, Martial Arts, Indomitable Will Archenemy: Evelyn Ford a.k.a Velvet (based on Lex Luthor) Inspiration: Superman, Captain Marvel

Rainbow Girl Real Name: Penelope “Poppy” Monteiro Alias: Sunshine B.B., Bubblegum Chick, Prismatic Queen Superpowers: Flight, Sound Conversion, Light Generation, Iriskinesis via Lumokinesis and Chromakinesis, Chromo-Egrokinesis, Energy Manipulation, Enhance Strength and Durability, Healing, Martial Arts, Indomitable Will Archenemy: Pacifica “Pushy Poppy” a.k.a Drab Grey Inspiration: Dazzler, Karolina Dean

Psionyx Real Name: Bernardo “Branch” Huitzilopochtli Ramon Rivera Alias: The Psychic Onyx, Superpowers: Telepathy, Telekinesis, Psychic powers, Indomitable Will, Intimidation, Interrogation, Peak Human Conditioning, Martial Arts Master, Weapons Master, Genius Level Intellect, Peak Human Strength, Superhuman Agility Archenemy: Carl “Creek” Evans a.k.a Monkshood (based on Poison Ivy but his color scheme is more similar to the Joker, Green Goblin, and Skeletor) Inspiration: Batman, Jean Grey a.k.a Phoenix

I’m planning to make a team for them called the Justice Brigade, which will serve as the leading team for all the super teams because it is based on the main Justice League but I dunno who can I pick for their team. As for Guy Diamond and Meadow Sprigg’s team, the Sylvan Guardians (composed of them, along with Tiny Diamond, Holly Darlin’, Val Thundershock, and Lownote Jones), they’ll retain their animal theme. Let me know if you have suggestions for the Terrific Trio’s teammates.
