She then grew up in a concentration camp - her mind becoming more twisted as she did so - until she eventually believed that the Nazi "Final Solution" idea was correct. Escaping to the U.S. at the end of the war, this brilliant young woman received a Phd at the age of 18.

This in turn enabled her to reshape herself into the elemental being known as Blackstarr .
