History

Content Warning: body horror

The sister <or cousin?> of veteran LNHer Carina Paschall AKA Sing-Along Lass, Lilly Paschall worked as a bank teller in Net.ropolis, a job she despised. Unable to pursue her passion of acting and performance, she found herself depressed and unmotivated. But when the Rampaging Elephant attacked the bank she worked at, she rose to the occasion and helped fend him off. Nonetheless, the Elephant captured her and took her to the sewers, where a mysterious figure gave her a costume and told her she would be imbued with the Power CosMc [1] and battle the LNH!

This baleful cosmic force transformed her into the stone-skinned Merrax the Maimer, who attacked a group of LNHers at the Net.ropolis Mall. She came close to defeating them, even unmasking the Ultimate Ninja, but was vanquished by an unknown power. Reverting to human form, she reunited with Carina.

Lilly joined the LNH, helping the LNH Friends defeat Kalibark and travelling to Apoochcalypse with Ultimate Ninja to get revenge for his retconned character development. Her powers had remained dormant, but upon coming to Apoochcalypse they began to return, with pebbles beginning to emerge painfully from her skin. When Barkseid killed the Ultimate Ninja, the cosmic power surged through her, transforming her fully once more. She killed Barkseid, and then found herself connected to the Source Code [2], which allowed her to return the Ninja and their allies to life--at the cost of returning Barkseid as well.

Returning to Loonivearth, <more stuff happens>.

Personality

(put in later)

Powers and Abilities

The cosmic powers bestowed on her by Barkseid granted her superhuman strength and stone skin, as well as a wicked cosmic axe and the power to shoot energy beams.

Appearance

When powered up, she becomes tall and muscular, with grey stone skin.

As Merrax the Maimer, wore a red-paneled shoulder-padded suit which left very little to the imagination. She wore a more modest outfit as Groundswell.

Footnotes

  1. Said to be "The very secret ingredient in McDonald's Arch Deluxe," it is evidently a form of the Power Kirby, which seems to run in the family...
  2. Referred to as "The Search"; it doesn't really behave in the way the Source Code does in other series but it's hard ot see what else it could be. Like many other of Amabel Holland's early stories, this arc has a bit of a wobbly relationship to canon.
