Tracy Strauss - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Tracy can freeze objects at will by reducing the temperature of matter. She is capable of freezing human beings, as well as inanimate objects. While she suffers no ill-effects from the cold, she can be frozen if she uses her powers to create a very cold temperature ice wave, as shown in the episode "Cold Snap". While she at first could only focus her ability through her hands, she is later able to expand her control. In "Amanda's Journey, Part 2: Thank Goodness for Tracy Strauss", Tracy is able to freeze fire that was threatening to blow up a car.

As of Volume Four, her ability has evolved to include water mimicry, allowing her to transform into water and manipulate herself while in that form, as seen in "An Invisible Thread". In "Orientation", she instinctively turns to water to avoid physical injury, and is shown to be able to use her freezing ability while still in her water form.

In the graphic novel "Prodigals, Part 3: Parched", Tracy assumes an alternate form that is a feminine humanoid form made of water and ice using her ability over water to propel herself into the sky, high enough to throw ice shards from above; she is also able to shoot ice shards in every direction to hit oncoming clones, and apparently is able to invoke water from depths of the earth to revitalize her once she starts feeling dry (she seems to let herself be absorbed by the earth as well).
