User blog:Inferno Pendragon/PE Confirmation: Cassandra Nova

I shall keep this blog rather short as the article is already under PE but since we are now having Official PE Approvals I *must* see this one added to the list:

Who Is She / What Has She Done?
Cassandra Nova is an evil parasitic "twin" of Xavier and was thought to have been killed by Xavier before birth as part of a battle between good and evil said to occur in all beings - however due to Xavier's great power Cassandra was in turn an immense and deadly opponent who managed to survive in secret and grow in power before revealing herself in one of the X-Men's most devastating terrorist attacks ever concieved when she set Wild Sentinels upon the island of Genosha, killing millions and permanently destabilizing the area into a wasteland.

Cassandra would continue to do horrific acts designed to kill and torture any who got in her way after this, seeing herself as a god and being a striking example of why power like Xavier's is nightmare fuel when used by a sociopathic mind.

Migating Factors
while Cassandra did suffer a psychosis that made her believe only herself and Xavier were "real" she is never shown as sympathetic, has often plotted complex acts of terror (and thus knew exactly what she was doing) : she has gloating trapped people in the mindscape, tried to kill countless individuals and devoted herself to destroying Xavier's dreams and loved ones at all cost.. she was so horrific and dangerous Xavier as an infant tried to get rid of her.. if that doesn't scream "no sympathy" I'm unsure what does..

Setting
X-Men is a DARK setting but she stands out even in a cast of killers, terrorists and super-villains because of the sheer intensity of her attacks as well as how devious, powerful and sadistic she is.

Verdict
Cassandra Nova is a haunting, grotesque monster who has earned her place in PE - the senseless murder of millions alone earns her place in the ranks of Marvel's most depraved and wicked, especially as she did it all to hurt her "brother": if Charles Xavier embodies the struggle to co-exist and find peace Cassandra embodies unrelenting hatred and cruelty.
