Shriek



A drug dealer/ rock groupie whose mutant abilities were activated after a confrontation with Cloak and Dagger, later became Carnage's girlfriend during Maximum Carnage

Origin
As a young girl, Shriek had a miserable childhood that eventually drove her to drugs. Her mother was ashamed of her for being overweight and she was abused by both her parents. She became a groupie for a rock band, and a drug dealer on the side until the vigilantes Cloak and Dagger happened by during one of her deals. Having already suffered enough traumas to make her dangerously unstable, a short stay in Cloak's dark dimension pushed her over the edge into insanity. After that, she was captured and imprisoned in Ravencroft. According to her, she was also shot in the head by police and while gluing the pieces together again, the doctors apparently missed some. However, it is still unclear as to how her powers actually developed. It could be that she already had these powers but they didn’t manifest themselves until she was exposed to Cloak’s darkness, or they could have been a side effect of the drugs she was taking, or it could have been a combination of these events, among others, that caused her powers to develop.

Power and Abilities
Shriek can manipulate sound in different ways. She has the hyper sonically tap into people's minds and bring out their inner darkness (generating fear, anger, hate), making them act in violent manners. She can harness it and shoot destructive sonic energy blasts from her hands or disorientate. She can also shield herself with a sonic field and fly. With her sonic powers she is also capable of generating a sonic scream with can deafen or disorientate.
