Scorpina was born on the planet Mongo, a harsh and unforgiving world. She was raised by a race of scorpion-like creatures, and learned to be fierce and cunning from a young age. When she was old enough, she left Mongo and traveled to Earth, where she joined the forces of Rita Repulsa. Scorpina is a skilled warrior and a powerful sorceress. She is also a master of disguise, and can often be found wearing a human disguise.
