Biography
Karu-Sil was a female inhabitant of the planet Graxos III that was a primitive jungle world. At a very young age, her parents were slaughtered in a raid on her village by a rival tribe and she was forced to fend for herself in the jungle. During this time, she came to be adopted by a pack of predators where over time she formed a close kinship with them. To resemble her new family, Karu-Sil came to carve off her lips which permanently exposed her fanged teeth. Years later, she was drinking from the river when she was discovered by a young man from a nearby village. He came to approach her in friendship but she responded aggressively by striking him down. It was then that her pack came to feed on the corpse but in that moment a Green Lantern named Blish arrived where he slaughtered the creatures. The man did not realise that Karu-Sil was part of the pack and instead took her away to Graxos IV that was a more advanced world so that she could be cared for and be part of society. She was to be evaluated by a psychologist but she brutally killed her and was institutionalised as a result. During her imprisonment, she was chosen by a yellow Power Ring and inducted into the ranks of the Sinestro Corps. With its power, she created duplicates of her former pack and though she knew they were not real she came to deeply care for them.
Sinestro communicated with Hal via his power ring as the Sinestro Corps invaded Earth. He intended to conquer the planet, making it a symbol of the Sinestro Corp’s power and their ability to control any planet. He intended to makes slaves of the Earthlings, and execute anyone who did not submit. Karu-Sil and her fellow Sinestro Corps soldiers wrecked havoc on Earth, but were staved off by the GLC and an army of Earth’s heroes. (Green Lantern v4 #24) Karu-Sil and the Sinestro Corps continued to wage war on Earth while Hal and Kyle went to Coast City to protect it from Sinestro, and Hal issued a radio broadcast asking the residents to flee. Not a soul left, everyone had faith Hal would save them from Sinestro. Sinestro and a number of his soldiers engaged Hal and Kyle, and Sinestro told them he’d already won the war. His actions made the Guardians rewrite the Book of Oa, and now that the GLC could use lethal force they would be feared. Sinestro always wanted the GLC to be a more totalitarian police force to bring order to the universe, and he’d succeeded. Sinestro and Hal’s rings were both drained of power, and they squared off in hand-to-hand combat. Hal won, and told Sinestro he was under arrest. In NYC the Anti-Monitor tapped into Earth’s energy and prepared to unleash an anti-matter wave to consume Earth. The GLC ruptured the heart of Anti-Monitor’s Warworld, the Sinestro Corps central power battery, and created a shield around Warworld and the Monitor. The ensuing blast nearly destroyed the Anti-Monitor, and he was finished off by Superman-Prime, who betrayed him for having destroyed his home, Earth-Prime. With the Anti-Monitor destroyed, Sinestro vanquished, and having no way of recharging their rings the Sinestro Corps fled Earth to lick their wounds. (Green Lantern v4 #25)
