Powers and Abilities
Tabitha Smith is a mutant who originally had the unusually strong ability to create variably-sized yellow orbs and spheres of pure plasma, fiery-like energy, which she calls her "time bombs." These "time bombs" explode with concussive force. She can produce marble-sized energized "bombs" which have little concussive impact and which she uses for playing pranks. She has produced "time bombs" ranging up to the size of beach balls, which have been shown to detonate with sufficient force to destroy highly durable objects including a Predator X, and a futuristic Nimrod. Tabitha can control the amount of time between the creation of one of her "bombs" and the time it detonates. She can mentally muffle the sound of the detonation.
She is a fair hand-to-hand combatant, coached in unarmed combat by Cable. She is an excellent player of video games. She is an accomplished thief, trained by the Vanisher.
Under the direction of Pete Wisdom she learned to focus her power as streams of concussive force.
In Nextwave, her mutant abilities are summarized as "the mutant ability to blow things up and steal all your stuff." She also has access to technological support, such as jetpacks. She was apparently immune to Forbush Man's mind-warping abilities, because she supposedly had no mind to warp.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“The poet is the person in whom these powers are in balance, the man without impediment, who sees and handles that which others dream of, traverses the whole scale of experience, and is representative of man, in virtue of being the largest power to receive and to impart.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
