What is the Power Broker hoping to accomplish in New York?
The Power Broker persuades Batroc, an Algerian terrorist with a beef against Sam Wilson, to come with her to New York. There, she assists Wilson and his partner, Buckey Barnes, in trying to save members of the Global Repatriation Council from Karli Morgenthau and her gang of terrorists, even managing to kill one of Karli's super-soldiers with mercury fumes.
She then murders Batroc and tries to persuade Karli to rejoin her criminal syndicate. Later, we see that her criminal record from the events of Captain America 3 has been expunged, enabling her to expand her criminal work with government information and resources.
What was her goal in going to New York? Was it to recruit Karli? If so, why did she need Batroc and why did she help Sam and why did she kill one of Karli's people?
Was it to rehabilitate her reputation? If so, why did she try to bring along Batroc and try to recruit Karli?
Best Answer
The Power Broker's Objectives in New York were as follows:
To confront, and hopefully re-recruit, Karli
The Power Broker suspected Karli of betraying her in the Broker's search to possess the Super Serum. Having hired Batroc to spy on Karli, the Power Broker took the opportunity to confront Karli about her betrayal and to offer an olive branch: Karli (a valuable super soldier) could work directly for the Power Broker again.
To put Sam Wilson further in the Power Broker's debt, thus securing a pardon from the US government
The Power Broker rendered valuable assistance to the effort to stop the Flag Smashers, further indebting Sam Wilson to the Power Broker. Wilson would indeed keep his promise and secure a pardon.
Were these conflicting objectives?
No. It is clear from the final scenes involving the Power Broker that they unrepentently intend to continue playing off all sides against on-another in order to acheive greater power, wealth, and ultimately control. As soon as the Power Broker realized Sam Wilson might reform Karli (who in turn could reveal the Power Broker's activities to him), the Power Broker shot and killed Karli.
