Komodo was created by writer Dan Slott and artist Stefano Caselli, and first appeared in Avengers: The Initiative #1 (June 2007).

He accompanied the High Evolutionary's incarnation of the Ani-Men on their clean-up mission at the Jackal's laboratory and fought the Scarlet Spider.

[6] Spider-Man called her a "dollar-store version of the Lizard" and convinced her she would fail even as she had him pinned down, warning her that her powers would be taken away when he defeated her, which he does by firing a blast of webbing into her face.

Komodo struck up a relationship with fellow trainee Hardball even going as far as to show him her true form, which was missing both legs below the knee.

This was against Initiative secret identity rules but Hardball reassured his superior officers that no trouble would result, she was 'just a girl'.

[14] Komodo joins up with a new version of the Shadow Initiative in order to retake the Negative Zone prison where Hardball was incarcerated, as it had been conquered by aliens.

The Shadow Initiative retakes the prison, albeit with the loss of several new members; the survivors realize that Osborn intended for the team to be expendable.

[17] In the aftermath of Siege, Komodo confronts Baron Von Blitzschlag in an effort to prevent him from destroying incriminating evidence against himself and Norman Osborn.

Komodo was shocked at the fact that Reptil is still in his adult body following the fight against Korvac and vows to make Tigra pay for this.

[19] During the Fear Itself storyline, Komodo appears at a meeting held by Prodigy regarding magical hammers that have crashed into the earth.

[21] The first Komodo possesses a strong, scaly hide, enhanced strength, the ability to breathe flame, and a powerful tail which he can use in combat.

[volume & issue needed] The second Komodo possesses an accelerated healing factor derived from the same serum created by Dr. Curt Connors[4] that turned him into the Lizard.
