Monster Girl

Monster Girl's History

The young woman who would become Monster Girl was a bright yet crass student who attended an expensive girl's school. She skipped a few grades and was set to graduate at a young age when her senior class took a trip to Europe that would change her life.

On the trip she met a cute, young gypsy boy and was swept up in a whirlwind of romance. The boy's disapproving grandmother saw the two young lovers during a romantic rendezvous and cast a gypsy curse upon her grandson's paramour. On the flight back to the States, the curse began to take effect. She hid in the toilet as her body uncontrollably morphed into a monstrous troll-like being.

At first she was terrified, but she soon gained control of her transformations. She put her powerful creature body to good use as the heroine Monster Girl.

After a while, Monster Girl began to notice an adverse physiological effect to her powers. The more she transformed into the creature, the larger and stronger her monster form became-but her human body became younger. She tried to use her powers less, but there was always some crisis that required the attention of her monstrous alter-ego. Monster Girl physically grew younger, but mentally she remained an adult woman of twenty nine. Depressed about her condition, Monster Girl began recklessly using her powers, heedless of the damage she was doing to herself.

When Monster Girl tried out for the new Guardians of the Globe, she had the body of a thirteen year old girl. The bizarre disconnect between her childlike appearance and her somewhat randy adult behavior made some of her teammates uncomfortable, but Monster Girl proved to be a great asset to the Guardians in the field. Robot committed to helping Monster Girl find a cure for her state, but as of yet claims to have no success.

To mitigate the de-aging process, Monster Girl wore a suit of high-tech battle armor so that she could still participate on missions in her original form without having to transform into her monster form. The armor was originally designed for Black Samson after he lost his superpowers. When Samson was seriously injured by Battle Beast and rendered comatose, Monster Girl donned his armor. The battle with Omnipotus required that Monster Girl change into the hulking creature, destroying the suit in the process.

The young clone of Robot has stated that Monster Girl's ability to cope with her own debilitating condition is what inspired him to find a way to leave the confines of his former self's isolated life-support chamber. Monster Girl told Robot that she felt it was very creepy if Robot had given himself a human body in order to be with her. Robot assured her that wasn't the case, but the two quickly started a romantic relationship regardless. She told Robot she loved him during Rex Splode's funeral.

Monster Girl and Robot were later stranded in an alternate dimension, hoping to find a permanent way to keep the inter-dimensional Flaxan race from invading Earth. They stayed there together for 700 years. As test subjects. As gladiators. They revolted against the tyrants of that dimension. Word of them spread. They became leaders of a revolution.

Eventually, Rex and Amanda became the rulers of the world. But during the time, they grew apart, with Robot focusing more on his work running the civilization while Amanda was left behind. They felt like they barely knew each other anymore. Finally, Monster Girl betrayed Robot, arresting him out and giving control back to the Flaxan royal family.

During Rex's time in custody, Amanda grew greatly depressed. During this time she started a relationship with a female Flaxan named Zall. During that time, she secretly had a child with Zall, who was kept secret. Soon after, the Flaxan royal family began to mount another attack on a dimension, sparking a second war, during which Amanda and Rex reunited and swiftly won. However, this shook their relationship to the core, leading Rex and Amanda to return to their own dimension.

This would haunt them later, as the Flaxans invaded Earth once more, lead by Monax, the son of Monster Girl.
