Description
Name: Karima Shapandar
Group: Orchis
First Appearance: X-Men Unlimited #27
(April, 2000)

Karima Shapandar was an Indian National Police officer who has been infected with Omega Sentinel technology and has become a machine equipped with state-of-the-art technology aimed at exterminating mutants. Thanks to the efforts of Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto, she overcame her lethal programming and was able to put use of her Sentinel devices to help mutantkind.
Eventually, Shapandar became a member of a controversial team of X-Men led by Rogue. Her association with the X-Men led her to have her systems corrupted and possessed by different antagonists, namely the Marauder Malice and the primal villain Arkea. Regardless, the Omega Sentinel was able to fight her molesters and side with the X-Men to combat them.

However, her infection still led her to turn against mutants. Supplanted by a complete machine version of herself who had experienced mutant dominance over machines, killing her in the process, the Omega Sentinel was responsible for sparking the creation of Orchis, an anti-mutant powerful organization which influentially attacks mutants both directly and indirectly.

Karima Shapandar was a detective in the Indian national police who worked in Calcutta. She was assigned by Mr. Shaara, a wealthy and influential officer, to look after his son Neal. Neal was looking for his brother, Sanjit, who had gone missing when researching the mysterious disappearance of vulnerable people in the impoverish sections of the city. An emotional bond quickly developed between Shapandar and Neal Shaara as they joined forces to search for Sanjit. On the verge of beginning a romantic relationship, they were attacked and captured by the anti-mutant robotic activist Bastion, who ran Operation: Zero Tolerance.

Bastion used his deadly technology to transform humans into mutant-hunting Sentinels and was behind the kidnappings in Calcutta. Sanjit had become one of his victims, being programmed to seek out and destroy mutants. Bastion intended to do the same to Shapandar and Neal, but the process catalyzed Neal's latent mutant power, which destroyed the building around them. However, Shapandar was successfully transformed. Sanjit and Shapandar were momentarily able to fight their programming long enough to disable the other Sentinels. As Sanjit perished in battle, Karima Shapandar quietly asked Neal to run away. As an Omega Prime Sentinel, she would soon achieve combat mode to destroy mutants in her proximity, which forced him to flee.
