Tabitha Smith - Powers and Abilities

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:

    A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.
    William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
