Kiden Nixon - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Kiden is a mutant who can realign herself into a faster timestream, altering her perceptions so that events occurring in real time appear to be moving in slow motion and allowing her to move with relatively much greater velocity and force. She doesn't tire or require sustenance in this state and can spend months in what she terms "no time", while only a few days or more have passed in real time.

The power is usually verbally activated, when Kiden says "stop". However, she is capable of exerting this power by sheer will alone. Sometimes, under stress, it happens without her control.

Originally, the only way Kiden knows how to return to the normal timestream was to make skin-to-skin contact with another person. However, it was apparent that she had to be careful when she was doing this as the person she touches would be affected by the relative velocity and inertia that she could exerts on them. For example, when she first exits her timestream, she pokes a bystander on the arm with her finger, only to break that person's arm. This has changed some time between the original series and the second one, she is now able to exit at will.

It was later revealed (much to her own surprise) that Kiden is able to take other people together with her into "no time" as long as she keeps physical contact with them.
