Biography[]
Backstory[]
Kahhori fell into the Tesseract-imbued waters of the Forbidden Lake and was transported to the Sky World, where she gained supernatural abilities. With the help of Atahraks and the Sky World inhabitants, Kahhori traveled back to her home and managed to save her people from the Spanish Empire and confronted Queen Isabella I herself.
Captured by Doctor Strange[]
Persuaded by Doctor Strange that one of the "universe killers" that he had captured managed to escape, Captain Carter arrived in a universe where HYDRA won World War II. She eventually found Kahhori and the two fought until Kahhori convinced Carter that Doctor Strange was lying to her. Realizing that Kahhori was found by Carter, Strange teleported both of them back to the Sanctum Infinitum.
Battle at the Sanctum Infinitum[]
Learning from Kahhori that Doctor Strange wanted to feed "universe killers" and heroes to the Forge in order to resurrect his universe and his lover Christine Palmer, Captain Carter freed Strange's poisoners and escaped with Kahhori in the chaos. While running through the Sanctum Infinitum, Kahhori and Carter encountered Wanda Maximoff who was commanding an army of zombies. Kahhori attacked Scarlet Witch and sent Scarlet Witch back to her universe before helping Carter fight the zombies. Hela then took control of the army of zombies and prepared to fight Kahhori and Carter before Surtur arrived. Kahhori and Carter escaped while Hela fought Surtur and were confronted by Thanos who tried to fight Carter before he was killed by Erik Killmonger who possessed the Infinity Stones. Carter told Kahhori that they needed Killmonger's Infinity Armor to stand a chance against Strange and Kahhori used her powers to remove Killmonger from his armor. They then realized that Strange had started the Forge and headed there to stop him. Kahhori fought Strange with her powers while Carter used the Infinity Armor. When he opened portals to sacrifice all of the surviving prisoners to the Forge, Kahhori attempted to use her powers to send them back to their universes. Strange broke her concentration by attacking her with one of his spells. In order to help Kahhori and Carter, Hela, Thor, Xu Wenwu, Hulk, and other prisoners gave Kahhori and Carter their weapons to use against Strange. Kahhori and Carter then broke free from Strange's attack and Kahhori sent the prisoners back to their universes. Kahhori and Carter managed to defeat Strange with the weapons from the prisoners and the Infinity Stones. Strange chose to stop himself once and for all and sacrificed himself to destroy the Forge. Carter was saved from the Sanctum Infinitum by The Watcher who told her that he also saved Kahhori and sent her back to her universe.

However she can be quite a deadly force to be reckoned with, as she is more than willing to use lethal force on the Spanish even killing the Conquistador herself and burning down his fleet and even arrives in Spain to force Queen Isabella's compliance in her bid for peace. Kahhori inspired the denizens of Sky World to leave their arcadia, fought off an invading Spanish armada and then leads a team of envoys of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy to broker peace with the Spanish Empire. When Supreme Strange tries enacting his master plan, she is the one who tells Peggy of his true purpose and the two of them work together to thwart him, with her attempts of rescuing his prisoners inspiring them to give them their enchanted weaponry to better even the odds.
