This wasn't because she was related to Mac Gargan; it was purely because of her mother's experiments that Camilla gained the ability to absorb toxins and use them for attack.
During that period, the original Scorpion, Mac Gargan, was possessed by the symbiote and became the new Venom.
Scorpion Venom
This left the title of 'Scorpion' vacant.
Thus, the newly emerged Camilla casually took over this unclaimed codename.
Later, Mac Gargan planned to sell his experience to Hollywood to make a fortune from a biographical film. However, he worried that Camilla, currently causing trouble under the 'Scorpion' name, would ruin his IP value, so he aggressively showed up to cause trouble.
The result? This veteran villain, along with Venom, was soundly beaten by Camilla.
Not only did she not reclaim the title, but the old senior also completely lost face.
Yes, although the name sounds a bit like 'Little Camilla,' Camilla is actually quite strong.
Since Camilla's comic book appearances are a bit old and I couldn't find any good pictures, everyone can just picture her as a younger version of Viper; the look is identical anyway.
The second thing was that Sumire remembered Camilla's little-known background: she was Banner's daughter.
This time it was truly a biological father... It was rumored that Monica and Banner had a passionate romance during their university days.
After they parted ways, Monica became even more obsessed with biological experiments. She used preserved genetic samples of Banner, combined them with her own Genes, and engineered Camilla in the lab while she was still in the womb... Is that believable?
Sumire looked at Camilla through Annie's eyes, hesitating on whether to tell her this earth-shattering secret.
"Hey, sister, that green giant smashing things on TV is actually your long-lost biological father."
...Never mind.
Camilla probably wouldn't believe her, and might even think Sumire was insulting her.
Furthermore, the relationship between Sumire's Villainesses and Dr. Banner... was quite 'nuclear-friendly'.
In the previous battle in Harlem, Reze shifting the blame greatly angered the Hulk, and Perona made him lose face with her Negative Ghost.
They directly caused Banner not to hide as he did in the original plot until he was recruited by Natasha in 2012, but instead to be directly contained and imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D.—this was what Makima found in the S.H.I.E.L.D. network.
It's hard to imagine what expression the Hulk would have if he met those two again... Returning to the Training Ground.
Since Annie let go, Camilla also got up from the ground.
She rubbed her wrist, which Annie had hurt earlier, and mumbled awkwardly, "...You win this time."
After speaking, she didn't wait for Annie to respond and fled the training hall.
Annie didn't say anything either.
She didn't care much about winning or losing anyway. Under the awestruck gazes of the other trainees, she turned and headed toward the assigned Dormitory Building.
The living conditions at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy were quite good, following the tradition of American universities, mostly double occupancy dorms.
Annie found Room 303 according to the room number on the key.
"Click."
She pushed the door open.
However, the moment the door opened, the air solidified again.
Hearing the door open, her 'Roommate,' who was taking out earphones to listen to music, looked up.
Black hair, green highlights, and a look of annoyance.
It was Camilla, who had been pinned to the floor by Annie just ten minutes ago.
The two stared at each other, frozen at the doorway.
Annie's hand was still on the doorknob, unable to step in or retreat.
The earphones in Camilla's hand were suspended in mid-air.
The two girls stared at each other in the awkward atmosphere for a long time.
Neither could manage to utter a 'hello' or 'what a coincidence'.
Finally, both withdrew their gazes; one silently tidied the bed, and the other silently put on her earphones to listen to music.
Watching the two figures occupying opposite corners of the room, ignoring each other, Sumire was quite speechless.
How did this massive S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy manage to put this pair of 'Sleeping Dragons and Phoenixes' in the same dorm?
Isn't that quite a coincidence?
Well, thinking about it carefully, it wasn't a coincidence at all.
There were only two female students in the entire combat academy freshman class... However, Sumire quickly thought, this might not be a bad thing.
Annie was a Villainess, and Camilla was also a typical Villainess.
Perhaps they... would get along well...?
