As one of the Inheritors, he and his kind hunted totems throughout the Multiverse but during the hunt against the Master Weaver he hesitated to deliver the finishing blow to the Weaver after the Weaver informed him of his true nature. The sudden opening lead to the death of his mother. After the Master Weaver was subdued, he was condemned to wear a mask and exiled to hunt Spider Totems to earn his place back to the family.

A time displaced Superior Spider-Man would later discover a trail of dead Spider-Men in their respective dimensions and decided to trace the energy signature leading to the discovery of Karn. Assembling an Army of Spider-Men, the Superior Spider-Man and his team ambushed Karn while hunting the Spider-Man of Earth-2818 but despite being outnumbered continued to gain the upper hand. He would be joined by his estranged siblings Brix and Bora and during their bickering caused the Spiders to flee.

He would be later shown slaying the Spider-Wolf to which he calls to his father if he can finally return to the family but Solus responded by informing the Master Weaver to send him to a more worthy foe.

On Earth-3123, he was shown confronting Ben and Peter Parker asking for the Spider Totem to which Aunt May would reveal herself to be the Spider-Ma'am. Aunt May sensed that Karn would be too strong to beat offers her life for the sake of her family to which Karn hesitated for her traits reminded him of his mother. The Spider Army would later appear and after informing him of his revelations, would later join them in their fight against the Inheritors.

After Master Weaver is killed by Superior Spider-Man, leading a banishment on his own family to a radioactive Earth-3145 where that reality's Ben were used to live, then during the non-616 Spiders' departures (except for Spider-UK, whose unable to go home because the reality was destroyed in a same time when Time Runs Out occurred in middle of Spider-Verse event after his departure), same time when Octavius messing with the Web of Life and Destiny that would caused the reality destruction until he is stopped by the mainstream Spider-Totems, Karn realized that Master Weaver and him are one of the same, thus making Weaver his future-self, so Karn would never end up like his future-self. He soon helps the 616 Spider-heroes to transport Superior Spider-Man back to his timeline without any memory of the events up to that point, but not before Otto swears vengeance on Karn. Once the 616 Spider-heroes (except for Anya accompanying Spider-UK, and later Kaine, who was revealed to be alive) depart back to their home reality, Karn, Anya, and William established a new team of multiversal Spider-heroes dubbed as Warriors of the Great Web, consisting of members like Earth-982/MC2's Mayday Parker (now dubbed as Spider-Woman), Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man India (Pavitr Prabhakar), and Earth-65's Spider-Woman (Gwen Stacy) for upcoming Secret Wars.

Depending on the power of the individual he drains, Karn's powers and vitality can increase substantially. Karn also has superhuman strength, speed, reflexes and durability. His two pronged staff is his weapon of choice which also emits a unique energy signature which he once used to vaporize the Wolverine of Earth-8351.

Rachel discovered that this Krakoa was grown by Hellfire Club member Maximillian von Katzenelnbogen (a descendant of Victor Frankenstein) in his artificial supergarden. When Rachel mentions that Krakoa keeps apologizing and wants to join the X-Men, Wolverine ends up letting Krakoa stay as a part of the school. Not soon after the school began having money difficulties, it is Krakoa who solves the school's problems by growing great quantities of diamonds on the trees he produces.

Krakoa's school grounds, the Bamfs, and Doop were able to prevent Swarm from invading the Jean Grey School.
