Biography
Kaila was a dark haired female from the planet Spyre who was the daughter of the hero Sidearm. (Fantastic Four v6 #19)
On her special day, she went before the Great Eye that measured the radiation signature of people on Spyre to find their perfect match. Instead of one of her people, the Eye bonded her to a boy from another world who was staring at Spyre through a telescope at that very moment. This was the 'boy on fire' who was one of the dreaded Four-Told who were prophecised to bring destruction to Spyre. The event saw her becoming determined to becoming a superhero to meet the Four-Told on that day where she passed every test in order to become one of the Unparalleled who were the best and brightest heroes of her world. Upon completing her trials, she was underwent the transformation by becoming exposed to cosmic rays and was one of the lucky ones to emerge without turning into a monster. She earnt her position on the team where she fought monsters and helped defend her world from threats. (Fantastic Four v6 #16)
A string of disasters affected Spyre where Sidearm, Citadel and herself responded to an explosion at a building with her helping save a falling civilian. Overseer informed them that it appeared to be the result of a terrorist attack but the Unparalleled responded by saving people where they were hailed by the people as heroes. It was then that the alarm went off indicating the arrival of the Four-Told when a craft was heading towards Spyre. Arriving by the ship, they encountered its occupants where Sky said she would handle the boy on fire. She could tell her opponent was holding back which allowed her to use a sonic attack to render him unconscious where she saved him from plummeting to the ground. Whilst the others were taken away, Sky took her foe with her to her apartment as prophecy had dictated that the pair were soul-mates. (Fantastic Four v6 #15) Upon waking up, she revealed her history and that of her world to him where she wanted to kiss him as then they would know if they had feelings for one another. (Fantastic Four v6 #16)
Upon arriving on Earth, she attempted to get used to her new surroundings and had hoped that Johnny would help her adjust to her new environment. However, he felt awkward over their relationship and kept his distance by checking his messages. Afterwards, the Human Torch was departing to help his friend Wyatt Wingfoot who had sent out an emergency call for aid. At first, Johnny was intending to go by himself but Susan suggested that Sky accompany him on his mission. Thus, the two travelled to the Keewazi Reservation which was locked in a dispute with the Mole Man after some Moloids that resided underneath the land had integrated themselves among the Native American population. The Mole Man then unleashed dinosaurs from his underground realm to terrorise the people to returning the Moloids despite them refusing to return to their former master. Sky participated in the battle and determined that her ability to communicate to avian creatures could function on the dinosaurs due to their shared ancestry. Thus, she used her powers to cause the beasts to turn against the Mole Man who decided to allow the Moloids to remain rather than have his humiliating defeat acknowledged. A result of the battle led to the Human Torch and Sky bonding over their experience as they returned to their Yancy Street home with Alicia Masters offering her apartment to Kaila as her place of residence on Earth. (Fantastic Four v6 #20)
Afterwards, the Fantastic Four responded to an event in space with them going away to investigate. In this time, Kaila spent time with Alicia who made sculptures of Sky. They then received a distress call from Franklin and Valeria Richards who had returned to Earth at the direction of their parents. With them were a Kree and Skrull offspring who were engaged in a battle to the death with the Richards children attempting to stop them. Arriving at the scene, she participated in the attempts at stopping the two alien warriors from fighting where she targeted the Kree Chronicle Jo-Venn and apprehended him. (Fantastic Four v6 #21) They were then attacked by the Priests of Pama who wanted to claim the Kree and Skrull child for their masters the Cotati. Sky came to be hit by poison thorns that knocked her out of the fight whilst the Priests took Jo-Venn to plunder his mind for the secrets of the Omni-Wave Projector. (Fantastic Four v6 #22)
She and Johnny were later sent to investigate the Nexus of All Realities that was a mystical gateway to all of existence. This was to gather data in relation to the newly created Forever Gate that had been built by Valeria Richards that was a doorway to all realities. Whilst there, the pair briefly met the Man-Thing who departed the area whereupon Torch and Sky departed the area. Later on, the Forever Gate was used to bring the Future Foundation back to Earth as they were travelling through the Multiverse. Upon arriving, the children amongst the Foundation were re-united with their families and they had a Skrull named Lyja among them. It was then that Sky learnt that she was Johnny Storm's ex-wife whereupon she had a long talk with Torch during their shift to watch over the Forever Gate. In this, he had to tell her about his prior romances with this shocking Sky as she felt that these relationships went against the idea of her being soulbound to Johnny. She was further angered when she found out that Storm had used a device to hide the soulbound brand from his body with this being considered an insult to Spyre culture. Their argument was interrupted when a number of refugees were emerging from the Forever Gate in order to escape being killed by the Griever who was destroying the worlds of the Multiverse that Franklin Richards had re-created. (Fantastic Four v6 #26)
Both Sky and Torch kept a watch at the Forever Gate in case the Griever emerged where they lost sight of Lyja who had since taken on the shape of one of the refugees. In this time, Kaila could not understand the worry over fighting the Griever with Johnny telling her that this was a foe unlike anything she had encountered before. Shortly afterwards, the Griever arrived through the gate where she intended to eliminate all before her as she had her suspicions confirmed that Franklin Storm had lost his great cosmic powers. Sky and Torch attempted to battle her but the powerful abstract being easily defeated the pair who were knocked out of the fight. However, ultimately, it was revealed that the Fantastic Four had drawn the Griever into a trap where she was tricked into their Yancy Street headquarters that contained numerous pocket dimensions to increase its internal space. Once inside, the building had been evacuated and the added dimensions were deleted with the Griever trapped inside seemingly defeating her. (Fantastic Four v6 #27) However, the Griever had in fact survived and was enraged at the attempt to destroy her where she had her Endlings capture the refugees whilst she decided to make some of the Fantastic Four pay for their defiance. Only Johnny Storm, Sky, Valeria Richards and Bentley-23 had escaped capture where they debated on how to free their friends. They were then approached by the Silver Surfer who was a former member of the Heralds of Galactus who was called by Reed Richards to aid them where he had recovered the Ultimate Nullifier. Norrin Radd revealed the purpose of the device and decided to fight the Griever to give the others time to free their comrades. Johnny Storm went to rescue his family trapped within the Necro-Spheres of the Griever whilst Sky looked to free the hostages which she did with a sonic attack. With the family freed, Franklin Richards threatened to destroy the Griever at the nullifying his own existence but his father found a solution where he offered the Griever access to the Forever Gate to travel to the end of time where her intended purpose was complete. She agreed and the crisis was averted where Lyja came to thank Sky for her help though the superhero form Spyre told the Skrull to stay away from the Grimm family as she scared their children. Lyja then asked if that meant staying away from Johnny Storm as well to which an angry Sky told her that she could do whatever she wanted with him. (Fantastic Four v6 #28)
Afterwards, the Fantastic Four were recovering their headquarters though Johnny's room was lost along with all his personal effects. Sky decided to use this as an opportunity to bond with Johnny where she suggested they go out together to do some shopping to get some new stuff for his home. The two came to enjoy their company during this time where their compatibility was shown as they had many of the same interests. Storm also came to learn that Sky had made friends in the neighbourhood and she had come to accept it as her home with the locals seeing her as their superhero. Their date was interrupted by Johnny's sister who was still suspicious of Sky and did not believe in the soul bonding between the pair. This caused a brief argument between brother and sister which was interrupted when the Earth came under an invasion from Knull who was the God of the Symbiotes. Sky had to protect the neighbourhood whilst the Human Torch joined the other heroes in a united front against the villain. She then rejoined them only to learn that Johnny was separated from the other heroes with her wanting to find him. However, Susan Storm-Richards looked to reunite with the other heroes as she thought Johnny was there and refused to believe Sky's claims that she could sense him trapped by the Symbiotes due to her soul bound. Sky was then taken over by a Symbiote through the soul bound link after the Human Torch was taking over by one of the creatures. She then attacked the Invisible Woman and commanded the Symbiote Dragons against her but Susan Storm-Richards managed to escape from Sky. (Fantastic four v6 #29) Under Knull's control, she was sent to the Forever Gate to claim it and attempted to control the Dragon Man thinking he was a flying creature that would fall under her control. However, she was unaware of the fact that he was an android and he managed to knock her out. Sky and the other Symbiote-infected heroes were freed from Knull's control after the King of Black was defeated at the end of the crisis. Sky then came to regret her actions and offered to Johnny to remove their soul bindings but he instead wanted to give their relationship a try with the two forgiving each other over recent events. (Fantastic Four v6 #30)
The Fantastic Four were later invited to the Latverian exhibition at the museum where Sky was seemingly told by Alicia that the event was in the late evening. She arrived at the scene only to find that she had been tricked by Lyja who had assumed Sky's form and went in her place whilst giving the real Kaila the wrong time. This led to a brief argument as Johnny Storm was trapped between his ex-wife and his current love interest with this being interrupted when ULTIMATUM attacked the museum. Sky fought the criminals where in the midst of the fighting she used her sonic attack against them but this inadvertently caught Lyja in the blast. This saw Johnny helping her with his actions infuriating Sky who left the scene as she wanted to spend some time alone. Later, in the night, her soul bond made her feel that Johnny Storm came to spend the night another woman instead of her which left Kaila in tears. (Fantastic Four v6 #32)
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Sky was a beautiful woman with short brown hair where her features changed upon her transformation with her gaining majestic beautiful wings. (Fantastic Four v6 #16) After becoming one of the Unparalleled, she came to take the superhero name of Sky. (Fantastic Four v6 #15)
She was noted for being impulsive with this being a trait that she shared with Johnny Storm. (Fantastic Four v6 #20) Her own knowledge of the universe was limited with her believing that Spyricans and humans were the only intelligent life in the cosmos. Thus, she was surprised to learn of the Kree and Skrull races but rather than believe there were numerous alien civilisations she instead thought that there were only four intelligent species in the universe. (Fantastic Four v6 #21)
Sky deliberately chose the path of becoming a superhero and had worked hard to accomplish this feat. According to her, she had earnt her wings and was not given her powers by accident. (Fantastic Four v6 #16) Kaila believed herself to be one of the elite and saw herself as a superhero that was beloved by millions on her home planet. (Fantastic Four v6 #21)
Kaila said that she was used to living on her own and initially on Earth she preferred being at her own residence. (Fantastic Four v6 #20)
Citadel had romantic feelings for Sky and wanted to take part in the soul-ceremony with her. (Fantastic Four v6 #15) Originally, he was her intended partner but had to step aside as the soul binding paired her with Johnny Storm. Despite that, he still cared for her and threatened to harm Johnny if he ever hurt Sky. (Fantastic Four v6 #16)
She underwent a soul binding with Johnny Storm after he came to Spyre as prophecy had indicated that the pair were soul mates. (Fantastic Four v6 #15) This was determined when she was younger when the Great Eye paired her with Johnny Storm at the moment he was looking at Spyre through a telescope with Sky stating that she could feel the two connecting in that instant. (Fantastic Four v6 #16)
Sky was noted to had kept pet birds with her on Spyre. (Fantastic Four v6 #19) She did not like it if anyone threatened her birds. (Fantastic Four v6 #16)
She came to make a home for herself on Earth where she came to know the neighbourhood around Yancy Street and was popular enough among the locals that she was seen as their superhero. (Fantastic four v6 #29)
Powers and abilities
This allowed her to fly through the air with the aid of her wings and also emit sonic attacks. (Fantastic Four v6 #15)
She had the power to communicate with birds which extended to avian life forms from other planets. Kaila said that this power did not extend to all animals but simply birds. However, on Earth, she discovered that her ability could allow her to understand and communicate with dinosaurs as the avian life of the planet had evolved from a shared ancestor. (Fantastic Four v6 #20)
In battle, Kaila could generate a sonic scream that could be painful to some enemies. (Fantastic Four v6 #20) This could be used to render some of her foes unconscious. (Fantastic Four v6 #15) In another case, it could be used to disorient a foe and make them more easy to apprehend. (Fantastic Four v6 #21)
On her home planet of Spyre, she came to be a member of its premiere team of super-powered heroes who were known as the Unparalleled. (Fantastic Four v6 #15)
