Powers and Abilities
Mercy has a myriad of different powers. She can fly/levitate, turn intangible and invisible, or teleport to another area with a thought. She is able to project energy spears, which can inflict damage or drain power. She can shift into different shapes, including a large amorphous lump, which can suffocate a victim, or perfectly mimic the form and personality of another person. In a flashback from the Hulk: Destruction mini-series based upon the game of the same name, she turned into a giant super-strong monster, based upon the "Devil Hulk". During her first appearance, when her physical form was destroyed by an exploding tanker, she immediately reformed in another location. She can read minds, communicate through telepathy and perform astral projection, and possesses additional extrasensory perceptions enabling her to sense cosmic events of great importance.
