History

Origin[]

Abducted by aliens at the turn of the 20th Century, Katherine Pearson was given the ability to weave anti-motion fields as the result of her captors' experimentation into bio-generated energy manipulation.[2]

Brigade[]

In 1992, Katherine, using the codename Stasis, was the newest member of the superhero team Brigade alongside Battlestone, Coldsnap, Kayo, Seahawk, Atlas and Thermal. Together, they freed a group of hostages from terrorists.[3] A week later, an alien named Genocide arrived with a spaceship in Los Angeles challenging Brigade. The team was able to knock him out, but they were all teleported to Genocide's home planet, D'Vor.[4] Brigade appeared in an arena, where the D'Voran Imperial High Council Magistrate declared Brigade had challenged Genocide first and for that crime they had to be executed. With no room for discussion, Brigade escaped the arena they were in, but when they were swarmed by an army of D'Voran fighters, Thermal blasted a hole through the ground, leading them into The Tunnels, a sewage system. There, they defeated a gruesome monster. Afterwards, they were intercepted by a D'Voran task force called The Factor, composed by Knockdown, Reign and Trek, who overpowered Brigade until they were stopped by the arrival of a group of freedom fighters who called themselves the Birds of Prey.[5] Not wanting to fight the Birds of Prey in their territory, The Factor fled.[6]

A few days later, both teams were found by Imperial High Guard. Fighting through the imperial forces, they were led back towards the Citadel, where Genocide was waiting for them. Genocide challenged Battlestone to a one-on-one match. If Battlestone won, the Magistrate would teleport Brigade back to Earth, but if he lost, they would all become Genocide's personal slaves. Genocide exacted the combat by opening the floor and dropping himself and Stone into a pit. Brigade and the Birds of Prey rushed to join them by bursting through the wall to join in. Battlestone insisted on fighting Genocide alone, and left the teams to take care of the guards. Sadly, Genocide murdered Atlas. Afterwards, the surviving members of Brigade boarded a ship and barely managed to escape the Citadel, heading for open space, and Earth.[7]

After three months in space, Brigade returned to Earth and landed their spacecraft in their Malibu headquarters. Blaming Battlestone for Atlas’s death, Stasis quit the team. As she left, she was shot in the head and killed by Battlestone’s brother, Cabbot Stone, who had assaulted Brigade's base with his team Bloodstrike to capture or kill Brigade under orders of Washington. After fending off Bloodstrike, Brigade brought Stasis' body to the Los Angeles branch of G.A.T.E. International, where a Dr. Sandler placed Stasis’s body in a nutrient bath connected to special equipment in hopes of reviving her through the Project: Born Again treatment.[8] However, Bloodstrike struck again, and Cabbot ordered his teammate Shogun to shoot at Stasis' tube, destroying it along with her hopes of revival.[9]
