OMEGA SENTINEL

Real Name: Karima Shapandar

First Appearance: X-Men Unlimited (Vol. 1) #27, June 2000

Powers: Karima Shapandar was transformed into a Prime Sentinel cyborg during Operation: Zero Tolerance, using the most advanced Omega technology implants. These implants wired themselves into her physiology at a genetic level, and reconstructed virtually her entire arms and legs along with considerable masses of technology in her stomach and along her spine up to the control circuitry in her brain. The Nannites flooding her cells were capable of regenerating large amounts of damaged or lost tissue and circuitry, and analyzing these damages in order to construct protective measures that prevent her from suffering from the same form of attack again. Her cybernetics give her superhuman strength, reflexes, and naturally high resistance to many forms of physical injury. She is equipped with telescopic, x-ray and magnetic resonant imaging visual abilities, in addition to proximity sensors that can detect masses and movement in her general vicinity. Her broadband and individual bio-scanners can pick up on all life signs on an area as wide as the island of Genosha, and perform medical scans on people to determine the extent of any injuries they possess. She also bio-tags individuals she comes across with her sensors, letting her recognize and pinpoint their locations specifically as she chooses.

Karima's on-board central processing unit has vast data storage and collating ability, and a constantly active satellite modem allows her to access information the world over at a moment's notice. She has the capacity to project holograms of various kinds, usually technical in nature like full body scans or topographical representations of a landscape. She can also project an interactive hologram over miles to see, hear, and speak with people at distant locations. These holographic projections can lock on to one of her bio-tags to automatically materialize before a given individual she has met previously. For offensive purposes, Karima is capable of supersonic flight and has a wide range of weapons and devices stored in collapsible and retractable housings on her fingers, shoulders, wrists and forearms, abs, thighs and shins. In addition to searchlights, tracking lasers, rail guns, and plasma knives, she also has high energy volt-casters that telescope like tuning forks from the sides of her forearms. Her fingers are capable of extending razor sharp blades or projecting rapid-fire armor-piercing darts.

Karima Shapandar is a skilled markswoman, detective-inspector, and hand-to-combatant having graduated from the Stardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy.
