Moshpit



Moriah Maureen Karlsberg, 'Mo' to her friends, is a bit of a tomboy. She and her extended family are the last worshippers of the Norse Dwarven God of War, Jognir.

Moshpit was initially an enemy of the Great Lakes area unofficial teenage superteam led by the superhero known as TigerMoth until her family moved from Cleveland, Ohio, to the Chicago suburb of Northbrook, Illinois.

She hopes to someday 'singlehandedly' take over the world in her god's name, though, she is delighted to have found like-minded people her own age to associate with. Her great-uncle, Herman Karlsberg was previously the last deeply devout worshipper of Jognir and wielded the same powerful boons of the god as she. He is currently rotting away in the psych ward of the Key Lucifer Metahuman Penetentiary, having gone schizophrenic with only his own replicants for company for far too long a time. Mo's worst fear is ending up like him, thus, she will most often rely more on her superhuman strength, agility  and toughness as her primary power, and bust out her replicants only in the heat of battle, or, when absolutely necessary to meet her goals. This doesn't stop her from generating her autonomous clones for the sake of practical jokes and the like. Her fears are one of the main reasons that she joined Team Hades in the first place. Having other friends to pal around with keeps her from spending too much time 'alone'. Of her teammates, though she maintains a casual somewhat romantic relationship with Jake Edison-Hoskins, aka "Badvibe", she is closest with Pam "Statuesque" Eisenhart, whom she considers her best friend. They are both nerds in their various ways, and, as Moshpit puts it: "Thick girls gotta stick together!"

Initially, Moshpit's powers generated 4 extra replicants, which made for 5 Moshpits in total on the field of battle at any given time. What no one knew was that each time she vanquishes a foe, Jognir grants her access to another replicant... which means that, at the time of this writing (Currently Issue 2 of "I.W.A.T.S.V."), Moshpit has, indeed, killed 4 people.

Moshpit's hobbies include heavy metal and hard rock music, cosplay, crafts and tailoring. She created/designed the outer spandex of Lightningbug's costume, as well as Riot Rabbit's suit, to his specs. Statuesque declined to let her best friend 'waste time and effort' making a suit for her, as, she believes that she, being the superstrong one, will get "messed up" most often. Badvibe also declined, not being one for tight spandex. Still, she is the one who designs and makes the various hoodies and hats with the crown symbol that he enjoys wearing.

Moshpit was the one who came up with codenames for Lightningbug, Badvibe and Statuesque.
