Biography
Scarlet Fasinera
Abused by her father, Scarlet had an unhappy childhood. One evening when she had had enough of it, she secretly killed her father by lighting his bed with a cigarette. His death was considered an accident, and Scarlet was sent to her aunt and uncle where her living conditions were improved. She became a nun and married Vince Fasinera. He was a small-time criminal who was the second man in her life who mistreated her. He died after falling down the stairs of a church. Adopting the alias of Stained Glass Scarlet, she later became a vigilante after being forced to kill her criminal son, Joseph "Mad Dog" Fasinera. (Moon Knight v1 #14)
Scarlet returns and haunts the streets of Brooklyn armed with her crossbow. She finds Bertrand Crawley and, recognizing him as a friend of Jake Lockley, fires a crossbow bolt into his shoulder. Crawley runs off and falls through the glass front door of Gena's Diner. Scarlet follows after him, firing several more shots into the diner. She pitches Gena Landers through a window then fires a shot into the oven's gas lines, causing the entire building to explode. Scarlet returns to the church where she lives, confident that her 'sweet angel' will come for her. That evening, Marc stands before the Statue of Khonshu. He suddenly sees an image of Scarlet flash before his eyes. He knows that Scarlet is destined to come back into his life. He soon learns about the incident at Gena's Diner. He visits Gena and Crawley in the hospital and promises Gena that he will rebuild the diner. When he leaves the hospital and goes to the Bronx Memorial Cemetery, a group of nuns, all answering to Scarlet, emerge from the shadows and attack him. Scarlet appears and fires a crossbow bolt that tears a hole through Moon Knight's mask. As quickly as she came, she disappears again. (Marc Spector: Moon Knight v1 #26) Scarlet later returned, having somehow formed a psychic link to Moon Knight. She was fighting inner demons, and began fire-bombing New York. Moon Knight caught up with her atop a bridge, but she jumped, and he was unable to find her in the waters below. (Marc Spector: Moon Knight v1 #30)
Overview
Personality and attributes
Powers and abilities
Scarlet is an expert in martial arts. She is able to wield bayonets, guns, and crossbows with precision.
While Scarlet does not have any apparent powers, she possesses a mysterious psychic bond with Moon Knight. This psychic bond is not systematic. It appears when Stained Glass Scarlet concentrates on Moon Knight, and can manifest in the form of dreams during which their thoughts intermingle and allow them to briefly communicate. This bond between Stained Glass Scarlet and Moon Knight could be due to an entity close to the Egyptian god of the moon, Khonshu, and reincarnated as Stained Glass Scarlet.
