Ravonna was born to King Carelius, a ruler in 40th century Earth, known as Other-Earth (Earth-6311). Princess Ravonna was the sole reason the Kingdom of Carelius was left unconquered by Kang The Conqueror, who was smitten with the princess.
Ravonna Renslayer grew up a fiery, passionate royal who cared deeply for the citizens of her kingdom. She refused to abandon her people when threatened by the time-misplaced menace Kang the Conqueror. Kang approached Ravonna to seek her hand as his queen, but she vehemently refused his marriage proposals, seeing him as a mere commoner and not suited for royal marriage.
Kang, however, was not deterred, and brought the Earth-616 Avengers forward in time to battle him, but Ravonna was still not impressed. After Kang conquered her father’s kingdom, Ravonna saw that Kang defied his own rules of engagement by sparing her father’s life and she changed her feelings about him. Kang’s guard commander, Baltag, saw this move as a moment of weakness and turned Kang’s army against him. Ravonna and the Avengers allied with Kang against Baltag. Ravonna jumped in the way of Baltag’s blast, saving Kang’s life yet losing her own in the process.
Ravonna was later revived by the Grandmaster and left bitter at Kang’s failed attempts to save her. Thus, she made it her mission to seek revenge by besting Kang in battle.
Ravonna is skilled in the use of advanced future technology capable of teleporting, shape-shifting, and projecting herself into the dreams of others.
She employs her abilities as an agent of the TVA, or Time Variance Authority — The organization responsible for maintaining the proper flow of time. Her lingering contempt for Kang’s imperialistic ways motivates Renslayer to uphold time’s rightful order.
