Karima Shapander a.k.a. Omega Sentinel

Since her creation in 2000, Karima has been involved in a number of storylines in the X-Men comics. Originally created as an Omega Sentinel, a human turned into a sentinel with nanotechnology, she eventually was able to disable the her Sentinel programming. She has been a member of both the main X-Men team, as well as the Excalibur team, a UK based version of the X-Men.

Poor Julian!

I actually like Karima Shapander and I hope House of X and Powers of X doesn’t ruin her completely.

So what happened with Karima anyway? Did they just forget that she'd never voluntarily fought the X-Men, and that she'd been bodyjacked/possessed every time she was an enemy?

Her programming finally took total control over her in ‘House of X/Powers of X’...

Of course this is ALSO completely ignoring the all female X-Men run where Karima woke up from her coma/finally overcame her robot part...but whatevs.

Do I plan to make probably SEVERAL Hellion/Omega Sentinel jokes while Hickman’s ‘House of X’ event is ongoing....?

Oh most definitely.

Is it bad that I’m still rooting for Omega Sentinel despite everything? Why can’t she just run away and work at the Uncanny Valley bar instead of fighting the X-men again? ;_;

Honestly I do feel really bad for Karima- I just have to make Hellion jokes to entertain myself, however...

Sadly this is comic books- and no one can ever reach full growth; but on the bright side, eventually a redemption arc WILL probably come for Karima....
