History

Summary with Minimal Spoilers

Carolyn Forge was a teenage genius with a difficult past. When her mother invented powered armor to get revenge on the League of Disgruntled Post Office Workers, Carolyn ended up inheriting it and joining Teenfactor. She fell in love with Terrence Coffee, AKA Useless Powers Lad, and gained immortality; their relationship suffered many hardships, but they persevered and had three children together.

Carolyn's talents for super-science invention created many amazing things, and lead to battles where her anger and self-righteousness warred with her kindness and compassion. In a dark future, she faced her own worst impulses and won out, saving her children. She lost her team, but married Terrence and went off to what seemed like a happy ending.

But tragedy struck, and Carolyn went missing for a long time. A new version of Doctor Killfile, one of the Legion's greatest enemies, appeared. She was rumored to be an alternate version of Carolyn from a dark timeline— but was in fact Carolyn herself, having survived tragedy and embraced her own darkness!

Personality

Initially, Carolyn was shy, sweet and introverted. She grew in confidence over the course of her time in Teenfactor, eventually becoming the team leader. She was kind, considerate and highly compassionate. However, she also showed self-righteousness (especially in interactions with Rick and her destruction of the "Cure") and fierce anger (especially when interacting with her "sister" Electra), displaying affinity with both her mother and her father.

Now that she has returned as Doctor Killfile, Carolyn is ruthless, focused and dangerous. The powerful will that let her survive repeated shocks of pain and loss has become a force that will smash thru anything to achieve her goals.

In a number of alternate timelines, Carolyn broke under the weight of all she suffered. The Drizzt said that there were many timelines where the grief from the loss of her twins turned her to evil. But this Carolyn is not broken. In her own eyes, she is stronger than ever.

Powers and Abilities

Carolyn Forge is an immortal super-genius scientist and inventor. Initially, she wore a suit of powered armor designed by her mother; later she improved on the suit so it runs on her immortal bioelectricity. She has stopped aging at 15 years old.

As Doctor Killfile, she has many powerful and destructive inventions, a number of which use Killfile Energy to achieve their effects.

Appearance

A slim young woman with dark brown hair and wide blue eyes, who seems physically unimposing, but whose posture exudes power and command. She wears impressive techno-gauntlets.

As Dr. Killfile, wears a silver labcoat over royal blue medical scrubs, a featureless silver mask that shows only her eyes, and a silver necklace with an amulet shaped like a fist crushing a piece of paper.

Relationships

Oh, tons.

She considers both Miss Calico and Caron Forge her mothers, but has disowned Milton Fyle; it's not known what she thinks of other members of the Killfile Dynasty.

Terrence Coffee was her husband and love, and she had three children with him; Samuel, Jack, and Elaine.

Her alternate-universe counterparts include Electra.

Appearances

Footnotes

  1. Since she took personal credit for bringing Obscure Trivia Lad back from the dead, her assuming the identity of Doctor Killfile would have happened before 2011, probably shortly after Beige Midnight when her father was still active in that role. And yes, the Kube business happened a while after OTL's resurrection, but considering they're tied to the fundamental nature of the Looniverse, their existence is temporally flexible. OK, phew.
