[edit] History
After the vicious murder of her adoptive parents, Carmilla discovered her biological mother is the top scientist of the worldwide terrorist network A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics). Carmilla is now trying to find her real mother under the auspices of S.H.I.E.L.D., who are attempting to use her to infiltrate AIM. She appears in Incredible Hulk #87, a one-shot story that takes place immediately after House of M.
[edit] House of M
In the House of M reality, the Scorpion was raised by her mother, and has a good relationship with her (as she was never adopted, she also goes by her birth name of Thanasee Rappaccini, although she retains the Scorpion codename). She is thus an agent of the semi-heroic AIM, and recently helped recruit the Hulk, her mother's former lover, to overthrow Exodus' totalitarian Australian government.
[edit] Captain Universe
Carmilla and her S.H.I.E.L.D. handler, agent Derek Khanata, had been sent to New York under orders to track down and capture The Uni-Power before it could fall into the hands of the terrorist organization A.I.M., watching over the spot where a Captain Universe empowered Daredevil fought four Class Three A.I.M. Commandos, Scorpion and Khanata waited to see if A.I.M. (who was also at the site) would find anything. A group of kids interrupted the A.I.M. Agents work and were nearly killed until Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23 steps in. The A.I.M. Commandos who fought Daredevil before begin to assault X-23 when she becomes Captain Universe. Scorpion enters the fray helps X-23/Captain Universe defeat the Commandos. Soon afterwards X-23 begins to search for a hidden base Scorpion joins her so that she can capture Captain Universe and get the information on it from A.I.M., however X-23 convinces Scorpion to see the light and let Captain Universe go. X-23 takes Captain Universe to a safe hiding place while Scorpion brings an A.I.M. scientist back to S.H.I.E.L.D. for interrogation.
[edit] Trivia
The name Rappaccini is an allusion to the short story Rappaccini's Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne [1]. The title character of that story is a beautiful young woman whose breath and touch have been rendered poisonous by the experiments of her father.
