Description Backstory:
As a child in the Soviet Union, Galina Turboski was part of a group of children who were fed a drug that was supposed to make them immune to radiation poisoning. Most of the children died and those that did survive were too few to justify use of the drug. The project was inevitably scrapped and the remaining children were sent to orphanages. When Galina turned 18 she finally for the first time in her life left Russia and moved to America. With the temperature change her body for some reason stopped producing its own body heat. Her body adapted to this problem by absorbing the heat from the air and objects around her, causing them to in return become cold. Galina over the next 3 years learned to hone this power and was soon able to create ice from the moisture in the air and freeze objects without even touching them. She eventually met the love of her life and married, but on their night of passion she accidentally stole all of her lover's body heat all at once, killing him. Overcome with loss, she started to lash out at people intentionally hurting them and causing vandalism (such as freezing the city's aquarium). Eventually the police noticed she was at all the crime scenes and arrested her. She was thrown into the only prison that could handle Meta-Humans, the Paragon City Ziggurat prison. Her prison time only made her heart colder and crueler, and when Arachnos offered her a way to feed that cruelty she quickly took it. Now she roams the Rogue Isles in her snow ski gear (to help maintain her body heat) making every place she visits a "Winter-Horrorland".

Personality Traits and other interesting facts:
- She tends to be very playful and cruel with her victims and foes.
- She often pretends to be a hero to catch people off guard, one case in particular she dressed up as a longbow agent and gave out poisoned popsicles and snowcones to Nerva residents, including many children.
- She often enjoys mocking her weapon-wielding opponents by making ice copies of their weapons of choice, such as Ice Claws and Swords. She has particularly taken a liking to fighting with an ice-crafted scythe!
- Black Scorpion has been supplying her with both steady work and plenty of weaponry. She has taken quite a liking to both the Executioner Mace and the Disruptor Bot she has been given, often adding spiky ice armor to both to make them more deadly.
- When her husband was reborn as Nether-Touch and Galina was reunited with him, it became apparent that her evilness was part of a separate personality called "The Reaper" and her compassion and virtue was part of another personality called "The Guardian". The act of being away from her husband causes her personality to shift to "The Reaper" and being near him causes "The Guardian" to emerge. This condition is cured by the trauma of the 2nd and final death of her husband during the events leading up to Kraticax's defeat.

Signature Powers:
Icecraft - she can perfectly make an ice copy of any item she can visualize. This gives her wide range of weapons and tools to use, such as keys, blades, and armor.
Ice Scythe - Turbo-Ski has become quite accustomed to fighting with an ice-crafted Scythe. Although she does use other weapons sometimes, the scythe remains her favorite weapon to wield.
Ice-Skiing - Turbo-Ski can move at high speeds when she applys a thick layer of ice to her ski boots.
Ice-Gauntlet - Turbo-Ski creates a very sharp gauntlet of ice around her hands. This allows her to perform powerful thrusting melee attacks, such as ripping a hole straight through a man's chest. This is a primary technique to help compensate for her lack of superstrength.
Ice Mirrors - She sets up several thick ice blocks that reflect and distort images. Used to confuse her opponents while she prepares to kill them.
Dark Ice Form - By super-freezing her ice onto her body, she can create nearly unbreakable armor and claws. While maintaining this form she can't absorb any heat unless she is touching the source dramatically limiting her range and ice-crafting abilities. The ice armor helps to act as a buffer against heat exhaustion, however the initial amount of heat to make this form can cause heat exhaustion if she is not careful.
Kiss of Death - Turbo-Ski can easily instant kill most foes by kissing them on the lips and absorbing all their body heat from the inside out. She has control over this power.

Weaknesses and Handicaps:
- Using her powers excessively will cause Turbo-Ski's body to overheat and start suffering from various levels of heat exhaustion
- Hot environments can cause her to reach heat exhaustion faster than normal since she has to absorb a lot more heat to use her power effectively. Only exception to this is when she is in her Dark Ice form.
- Sub zero environments will eventually kill her due to lack of heat.

Important Characters:
Kevin Portman - Galina's huspand and the love of her life that she accidently killed on their night passion by absorbing all of his body heat at once. She visits his grave once a year and sheds guilty tears upon his grave.
Sarix the Devourer/Rebecca Morrison - A villain that Turbo-Ski has had numerous jobs with. She likes working with her since she can relate Sarix's vampiric need for souls to her own need for heat and the torment that need can bring. Her constant association with her has drawn her into a conflict that will shatter her frozen heart.
Kraticax - Turbo-Ski's friendship with Sarix has made her a threat to Kraticax's plans for his demon sister. With his powers over the netherworld, Kraticax brought back Kevin Portman's soul and enslaved it inside an elemental body made of pure "Shadow Flame". Any heat that Turbo-Ski absorbs from it will eat away at her soul and eventually kill her if she absorbs too much at once. However destroying the elemental will destroy her lover's soul along with it. This torment has only drawn Turbo-Ski closer to Sarix and her host Rebecca in her time of weakness.
Project Reaver - This mysterious assassin has ended up becoming Sarix's permanent bodyguard. It completely alludes both Turbo-Ski and Sarix why Reaver does this, but his actions have proven very favorable towards the duo.
Lady Farsight - Rebecca Morrison's identical twin sister who is constantly hunting her down to punish her dark half. Lady Farsight has the soul of the Purifier inside her body, a fallen guardian of heaven who purify even the darkest of evil. She made a deal with Turbo-Ski for her to betray Sarix in exchange for freeing Kevin Portman's soul from Kraticax. Portman's soul became free and Turbo-Ski had sold out her best friend. She later fought Sarix and Project Reaver and eventually redeemed her friendship with them by stopping Lady Farsight's plans.
Nether-Touch - After Portman's soul was freed from Kraticax, he wandered the spectral plane until he met an old man who called himself the GateKeeper. The Gatekeeper would allow him to return to the land of the living if he became his apprentice and successor. Portman accepted the deal without knowing the consequences and returned to physical realm. He is forced to wear dark purple chains on his living body that seep more and more of the Gatekeeper's power into him and brings him closer to fulfilling his contract. Galina gave up her villain life to join him as a hero, but the sudden change caused her personality to split between Galina and "The Blue Reaper".
Red Kite - another child of the Soviet experiment and a Spy that is hunting down the other remaining children for a secret Russian agency led by Agent Hawk. Her body produces an enormous amount of heat and requires her to eat and drink high carb foods constantly. Her first encounter with Turbo-Ski, caused her to fall in love with Turbo-Ski's ability, particularly her "Kiss of Death".
Mental Scale - another child of the Soviet experiment. He is a reptilian skinned man with amazing psychic abilities. Turbo has only had a few encounters with him and she was defeated each time and had her memory of the encounter wiped from her mind. Scale acts as Kite's eyes and ears outside of the agency and he is also her lover.
Jade Beast - another child of the Soviet experiment. She is a hero that can absorb radiation and expel it from her body in various ways. Has a strong sense of justice and has had a fer encounters with Turbo, but all have ended in a stalemate. She became Nether-Touch's partner and admirer just before Galina joined him as a hero. There is no love rivalry between them, but Jade Beast highly respects Nether's ideals and is deeply concerned about his well-being.
Black Jackal - last child of the Soviet experiment and the most dangerous. He has the ability to consume any lifeform into him and use its cells to strengthen his body. This ability has granted him youth, superstrength, and the ability to regenerate completely from something as small has a finger. He can also create clones of himself, but does not do so often because he fears his clones will kill him. He almost killed Turbo-Ski, but she managed to freeze him completely and with Jade Beast and Nether-Touch's help, sealed him in a refrigerated vault in Berlin, Germany.
