M-Twins - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Nicole and Claudette have various telepathic abilities, including reading minds, projecting their thoughts into the minds of others, and defensively masking their minds against telepathic intrusion. They have also used telepathy offensively to limited degrees, such as mind control and memory wipes. The twins (and all their siblings) are somehow able to merge into various combinations with each other (the false Monet, Penance, M-Plate, etc.), each resulting fusion generally having a distinct personality and unique set of powers. However, the fusions can be undone by considerable trauma, typically a large explosion. Claudette has shown the ability to open inter-dimensional gateways into alternate planes of existence, a power she shares with her brother Emplate, though not with (or as) her sister Monet. Nicole almost always initiates any use of the twins' combined powers, but Claudette has proved capable of acting independent of Nicole on rare occasions.

While posing as Monet, the twins displayed her myriad of mutant powers, including the ability to perceive mutant auras, superhuman strength, telepathy, superhuman intellect, a healing factor, nigh-invulnerability, enhanced senses, enhanced agility, superhuman speed and reflexes, and flight.

However, while the twins (or Monet) inhabit the Penance body, they have access to none of their original powers, and instead are limited to the body's abilities: diamond-hard skin, immunity to telepathy, and razor-sharp claws for fingers, toes, and hair. This is likely because the body's original purpose was to be a prison for Monet, effectively taking away her beauty, voice, and many mutant gifts.
