■   SHRINKING:Karlie was born as a meta-human with the ability to shrink down to nearly microscopic size. As a result of this, Karlie's strength and speed increases as she becomes smaller, her cells becoming denser further increasing her durability as well.
 At her smallest size, roughly 0.4 in (5mm), Karlie's strength is increased by a factor of ten meaning that even at the size of the average honey bee, Karlie can toss a full grown man. A feat that she could not do at her normal size. Likewise, Karlie, when shrunk, is durable enough to withstand a bullet (although doing so would be equal to being hit by a car) and fast enough to run at speeds which would be on par with fifty miles per hour (80 kph), however due to her size, this is actually proportionately. If her normal stride takes her roughly two feet forward while standing over five feet tall, then when shrunk, Karlie's stride only carries her 0.16 of an inch. Therefore Karlie would only be covering a distance of eight miles in an hour at her shrunken size.

S U P E R S U I T   A U G M E N T A T I O N S :
■   FLIGHT: As moving around at 0.4 inches tall isn't very efficient, Karlie possesses a supersuit which augments her metahuman abilities. The most notable method which the suit augments her is in the creation of hardlight translucent insectoid wings. These wings grant Karlie the ability to glide when normal sized and when shrunken allow her to fly at speeds of up to a hundred miles per hour. Unlike her running speed, this does compensate for her size meaning that even at 0.4 inches tall, Karlie is covering a distance of a hundred miles in an hour.

■   PARALYSIS: The gloves on Karlie's suit are able to harness her natural bio-electricity and create a powerful shock which can inflict paralysis within her foes. This shock can be used in melee combat or can be extended to a ranged attack. In order to create a ranged attack, Karlie must put her hands together and combine the bio-electricity from both hands in order to create enough polarity to electro-magnetically launch the shock at a distance. She often humorously does this while creating a finger gun.

■   FORCE-FIELD CREATION: As Karlie's wings are good for little else before gliding in her normal size, she can manipulate them to act as a force-field to protect not only herself but any allies in her immediate vicinity. These hardlight wings are capable of taking severe abuse and may even be able to withstand a few consecutive blows from a Kryptonian before shattering. In the event the shield is shattered, the suit will need time to recharge before it can produce another shield or wings.

W E A K N E S S ( E S ) :
■   SUIT DEPENDENCY: Karlie's greatest weakness is a dependency on the abilities of her suit and without it can come across as a lost or even useless to the others. While she would still have her metahuman abilities, Karlie constantly underestimates them due to not being quite as flashy as the other heroes.

■   OVER CONFIDENCE: As Karlie has a technologically advanced super suit, she can come across as over confident, rushing into battle unprepared and often not listening to the advice of others. With her abilities to both shrink and fly, Karlie often gets the idea in her head that's she's impossible to hit and believes herself to be invincible for that reason.

■   ENERGY LIMITS: Karlie is limited on energy in two ways. One her suit can only recharge so quickly and as such both her flight time and the abuse her forcefield can take is limited. The suit is powered both by Karlie's bio-electricity and solar energy although it does have a reserve power source in the event that the team is forced to fight in a place the sun can not reach. Karlie's bio-electricity is a fairly constant and consistent power source although it also is used to fuel her attacks and furthermore is directly connected to her health. If Karlie starts losing a fight, her energy levels will begin to drop and will drastically do so if she's severely injured or rendered unconscious.

■   MORTALITY: When Karlie's metahuman abilities are not in use she has the same durability, strength and otherwise human attributes as every other Tom, Dick and Harry (wel maybe not that Dick) on the planet. As such, if she's caught off guard or out of costume, Karlie is rather easy to send into early retirement if not kill.

Born in New Carthage, growing up within New York, Karlie was surrounded by average people everyday. It was because of this that the young girl realized from a young age she was anything but normal. Discovering her metahuman abilities fairly young, Karlie kept the secret to herself until one day she used her abilities to seek revenge on a bully who had tormented a friend. Realizing that Karlie had been the one to stand up for her, Karlie's friend, a girl by the name of Brice Palmer, invited Karlie over and the two became close inventually becoming best friends. As best friends do, Karlie showed Brice her abilities and although sworn to secrecy, Brice did what often young people do and told Karlie's secret in front of both her parents and her uncle Raymond. While Sydney Palmer and his wife brushed off Karlie's abilities as the workings of Brice's imagination, Raymond took his niece seriously and reached out to the girls.

Venturing to the lab of Dr. Raymond Palmer, Karlie demonstrated her abilities. While neither girl knew they stood in the presence of the Atom. Raymond went to work, designing a simple suit for Karlie to use which would play off of her abilities. The story of Karlie's budding friendship with Brice was all Ray needed to here to convince him that Karlie would use the suit responsibly and while there was some initial hiccups including Karlie crashing more than once as she learned how to use the wings to fly. Karlie would even go so far as to impress the Leaguer, Vixen as the two had an impromptu team up leading to Karlie's admittance into the Young Justice Initiative.

■   After winning an invitation to the New York Fashion Show, Karlie enthusiastically attended the show featuring world renowed super model, Mari McCabe. While attending the show, the dreaded Kite-Man attacked having snuck several specialized kites into the show in the guise of dresses. When the models started to fly away, Karlie jumped into action, scrambling for her suit. Much to her surprise, the superheroine Vixen was also on the scene and the two joined forces. Appreciating the team up, Vixen put Stinger forth for membership to the new Young Justice initiative.

S A M P L E   P O S T :
The lights, sounds and even smells of New York City overwhelmed Karlie's senses as she looked up at the convention center in front of it. Handing her tickets to the attendent, Karlie was admitted to the show as she walked inside, shifting the bag on her shoulder that contained the costume from Mr. Palmer. Finding her seat, Karlie sat down, pulling her phone out as she updated her Twitter in anticipation of the show. Firing a message to Brice, Karlie held the phone up as the screen flashed for yet another perfect selfie to add to her Instagram. A vibration let her know that not only had Brice received her message but also replied as a Snapchat of her pouting face filled the screen of the phone. A slight giggle escaped her lips as she put down the phone, the familiar sound of Taylor Swift's voice filling the room as the show began.

Models began to walk down the catwalk as Karlie's eyes went wide at the new and almost exotic designs. Mari McCabe walked down the middle, show how outshining either of the gorgeous models on either side of her. No matter how soft her skin looked, her eyes were still fierce, like an animal was inside her waiting to get out. Exiting the catwalk, the trio was replaced by another set of models. Unlike the last three, these three wore long gowns, almost bordering on sail like. 

"Those are ugly." Karlie muttered to no one in particular with a small laugh as murmurs of agreement came from either side of her. Suddenly, the dresses flailed out as the models screamed in surprise. Going rigid, the dresses embodied a sail as they began to lift the models into the air, the ceiling of the auditorium suddenly opening as the silhouette of a man on a kite waiting on the edge. 

"Fear not my pretties, for today you win the chance at being the bride of the dread Kite-Man!" The villain cackled with glee as Karlie made a fist. 

"Not today." She said in a hushed tone, grabbing her bag and vaulting out of her chair among the shocked audience. Rushing for the nearest bathroom, Karlie didn't even bother to ensure it was the woman's as she rushed through the door, her shirt already over her face as she suddenly came to a halt at the sound of a deep cough. The collar of her shirt came up over her eyes as she found herself looking up at a male. The urinals on the wall only further confirmed her worst fear that this was the men's bathroom. 

"Please honey, they're only boobs. Ain't no one in here interested in them." Came the reply of the man with an obvious lisp. Karlie couldn't help but roll her eyes as obvious relief filled her. She thanked her lucky stars that Kite-Man had decided to attack a fashion show instead of a monster truck rally. 

"S'cuse me." Karlie said sheepishly as she ducked into a stall. Dropping her pants, the girl pulled the suit out of her backpack as she struggled to fit into the tighter armor. At this rate, Kite-Man and his 'brides' would be gone before she even had her butt covered. 

"Knew I shouldn't have had pizza last night." The girl cursed as she pulled the goggles over her head. Shrinking, she popped the wings out of the back of the suit and flew out of the bathroom, passing through the door grate and back towards the auditorium.
