Beyond Grim And Evil

(A/N: Second up today. Notes on bottom.)

Nature

Nature was her power. Nature was what she controlled and bent at will. It was unnatural, yes, for mortal beings were not to control the powers of nature. It was beyond their limitation, they expectations, the rules set by the gods of old. So sue her. It wasn't like it was her fault she had been blessed with such strength. Love was a powerful catalyst, though, and oh how deeply, desperately, she'd loved nature. She envied the goddesses and gods of nature. Nature was a precious gift, powerful, beautiful, and underplayed. Just like her. And so she loved it and sympathized with it.

They said she was weak. Her fellow villains had never considered her much of a threat. They hadn't respected her, hadn't found her worthwhile, they had dared say she wasn't even a real super villain. A certain General had even taunted her, going so far to ask her what she was going to do about his insults, drizzle him to death, curse him with a cloudy day. Skarr had paid for those words dearly. It was pathetic and demeaning, though, coming from a man who loved gardening and pigeons. The only villain who held any respect for her whatsoever was Con Carne. Yes, Hector had seen her for her worth, at least, when no one else had. He'd accepted her as powerful, hadn't dared go against her. He had, after all, invited her to join the League Of Destruction. Though it was a failure, he had only invited the best of the best, the most elite, and she had been the first one he'd called out to. For that, she hadn't had as much of a problem with him being leader as the others, though she hadn't been impressed either.

The forces of nature were not to by toyed with, not to be taken lightly. When thinking nature, they thought wind, rain, clouds, plants, but there was so much more to it. Nature did not only hold incredible beauty, but also incredible force. Hurricanes, tornados, tsunami's, earthquakes, and that was just to name a few. Lighting and thunder, quicksand, animals, all of it was hers to command. The immortal deity's could suck it up whenever she used said powers. One day she would have her chance to prove it. One day it would not be only Hector who believed in her. One day her fellow villains would respect her and accept her. One day she would take over the Earth and all its bounty. Until then, though, she would be content with what she had. Until her time came to prove herself, she would wait.

(A/N: If you guessed who this was, I will be highly impressed. Especially since this character only showed up in one episode of Evil Con Carne. For that reason, I'll tell you which character it is. When Hector formed a band of villains, one of them was a young woman named Cataclysma, who held control over nature. Hector must have seen something worthy in her if he called her to join him. Since Skarr disdained her, and I think one or two of the others did as well, I assumed she wasn't thought of as very worthy by anyone but Hector.)
