Valkyrie

Athletically gifted from an early age, Karolina Åkesson was Sweden’s top hepthatlete and a world champion by the time she was a teenager. Finding it too easy to win in the female events, Karolina wanted to test herself against male athletes, but was barred from doing so. Disillusioned by the sexism of the decision, Karolina withdrew to the Swedish countryside and vowed never to compete again. Shortly thereafter, while jogging in the fields near her home, Karolina was confronted by the ghostly vision of a beautiful woman in armor who led Karolina to a cave. Inside she found a gleaming suit of armor and a mighty sword.
Donning the armor and grasping the sword, Karolina was reborn as Valkyrie and vowed to bring an end to male domination in society. Finding several female supers sympathetic to her cause, Valkyrie formed the Furies. The Furies spent their time robbing, kidnapping, and otherwise flaunting what they saw as the rules of an unjust male-dominated society and hoped by their actions to begin a female revolution. Of course, the revolution never came and the Furies were eventually betrayed by one of their own in La Pyra,who in exchange for a reduced sentence, agreed to turn in her fellow Furies to the government.
Valkyrie is a swaggering bully that prefers to get her way through physical intimidation. She is fully confident that her physical abilities make her one of the top dogs in Lockdown regardless of gender. While men, whom Valkyrie considers the enemy, get no respect from her at all, even other women are not immune to her predations unless they can somehow impress in her the fact that size and strength aren’t everything.
