Fictional Character Biography
Daughter of Agatha Harkness, the sorceress who trained Scarlet Witch, young Aerika is a powerful witch herself. She is invited to join the Dream Team, a group of heroes who were going to become part of the new Avengers, A-Next. She dons a costume and an alias in honor of her "sister", the Scarlet Witch, and becomes the Crimson Curse. As the Crimson Curse, Aerika uses her magic to affect the elements of nature, and strives to maintain harmony between herself and the order of nature. This leads to her having a very level-headed and reserved personality. Her powers make her an invaluable ally against the many foes that they encounter.
But her biggest challenge is when she is sent to aid the original Avengers in a dark parallel reality. The Red Skull's heir Doctor Doom is going to use his Cosmic Cube to send his own evil Avengers into her reality. Crimson Curse cannot allow this and uses her powers over nature to counteract the supernatural energies of the cube. She succeeds, but the price is her life. Her sacrifice is a shock to her teammates, but they avenge her death by defeating Doom and his minions.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
