History
Origin[]
Kali was a member of the Daevas, an extra-dimensional race of beings worshipped as gods by people of Earth.[1] She was known for using her deadly grace to slay shapeshifting demons.[4]
Modern Age[]
The Goddess Kâli
Notes
- It is unclear whether or not Khalaari, Vendhya's four-armed goddess of death, is influenced by Kali, the Hindu goddess of death, or another name and depiction of her. Though many Hindu gods have more than two arms, Yama is usually depicted as having six.
- Apocalypse claimed to have impersonated "Kali-Ma" at some point.[8] This implies Kali is also worshipped by the name Kali-Ma to some peoples.
