Areola Canasta

Areola Canasta was a femme fatale and Augustus Steranko's girlfriend. She was first seen at a casino with him. Michael Corben joined their table and played Baccarat against Augustus Steranko. Michael used his "X-ray specs" to win the gane. After, Steranko told two thugs to kill Corben. Realizing they would fail he sent Canasta. When Ilsa learned of this she went behind Steranko's back and ordered Zigesfeld to kill Michael Corben and Areola Canasta.

At Corben's suite in the hotel Canasta seduced him. Stripped down to his underwear he was thrown on the bed. She removed a gold box from between the mattress and box spring. Opening the box allowed a scorpion to crawl out onto Corben's thigh. His eyes closed. Soon after he jumped out of bed. The scorpion flew into the air. Corben ran into the bathroom in search of a condom. Canasta frantically searched on and around the bed. The scorpion fell from the ceiling and down the back of her nightgown. She screamed, stumbled back and bumped into a stereo, turning it on. Kylie Minogue's Better the Devil You Know began playing. The scorpion landed on Areola Canasta's upper back, out of reach. She desperately tried to remove the scorpion including jumping and pulling at her gown. Michael Corben mistook her movements for a dance. Eventually Canasta fell on the bed. Zigesfeld arrived and punched a hole in the door. He saw Canasta on the bed and assumed she and Corben were having sex. Using a rocket launcher Zigesfeld blew up the room. Areola Canasta perished in the explosion.
