Powers
Irma has the power to control the element of water(Hydrokinesis). She eventually starts manipulating bodies of water to stop rushing water or create shapes like swords and can create a bubble of water filled with air to travel underwater. She can also manipulate the water in the clouds to make it rain and control water pressure allowing water under her control to grab objects or even slice through metal, rock, and leather. At the beginning, Irma could not pull water out of the air but after a while, she learnt how to do it. In the animated series she can create water out of thin air and attacks mostly with blasts of water that she creates from her hands.
Later when the Guardians powers are fueled by the energy used to create the Veil, they begin manifesting new powers. Irma gains the ability of mind control, able to influence and control people's actions, such as making her father go easy on her to avoid grounding or breaking another free from outside mind control. She cannot override the effects of Nerissa's enthrallment spell but when the power of those things weaken she is able to break it.
Irma also displays more power with her power over water able to freeze and evaporate it at will, dehydrating (AKA sucking the water out of) beings, and creating a gigantic version of herself out of water, using herself as a nexus of this watery giant.
Irma's newest power is known as Scrying, the ability to foresee her present and future in various fluids and in lucid dreams. The former guardian of Water, Cassidy Chacon, also has the same exact powers as Irma.

Famous quotes containing the word powers:
“There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.”
—Antonin Artaud (18961948)
“If powers divine
Behold our human actionsas they do
I doubt not then but innocence shall make
False accusation blush.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Strange and predatory and truly dangerous, car thieves and muggersthey seem to jeopardize all our cherished concepts, even our self-esteem, our property rights, our powers of love, our laws and pleasures. The only relationship we seem to have with them is scorn or bewilderment, but they belong somewhere on the dark prairies of a country that is in the throes of self-discovery.”
—John Cheever (19121982)
