Powers[]
Telepathy: Astrid has displayed the telepathic standards of broadcasting and receiving thoughts, mind-control, altering perceptions and memories, projection of offensive blasts of Psionic energy causing mental pain or unconsciousness, astral projection and brain engram modification.
- Psionic Shield: Astrid can erect a psychic shield for protection of herself and other minds. She is immune or highly resistant to any/all mental intrusion, including psychic or empathic powers, hypnosis, illusions, deception, etc.
- Telepathic and Mind Cloaking: Astrid can telepathically mask her presence and the use of her abilities from being detected by other mutants and psychic entities. These defenses can be extended to others around them as well. Cloaking via telepathy is not perfect and powerful telepathic mutants may notice and 'see' through this ability. Also including the ability to rearrange the mental engrams of mutants so her distinctive mutant thought patterns cannot be detected by Cerebro-type devises or by other telepaths.
- Illusions: Astrid can create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring. These illusions can also be used to help others fight against pain or simply surround them with more pleasant environments.
- Absorb Information: Astrid can quickly process and store information, by mental transference.
- Download Information: Astrid can place large amounts of information in another's mind.
- Astral Projection: Astrid can project one's astral form from their body onto astral planes or the physical planes. In the physical plane, one can travel in astral form over vast distances.
- Power Negation: Astrid can place "psychic inhibitors" in the minds of mutant adversaries to prevent them from using their powers.
- Pain Inducement: Astrid can induce mental pain telepathically.
- Heal Trauma: Astrid can erase a person’s memories and heal mental trauma through "psychic surgery", the power to stimulate or deaden the pain and pleasure centers in a person's brain.
- Intuitive Multilingualism: Astrid can intuitively translate and understand any language.
- Mind Control: She has the ability to control the thoughts and actions of others.
- Mind Link: She can develop a mental link with one person or a number of people.
- Paralysis: Astrid can induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.
- Mental Sedation: She can telepathically "sedate" one's victims so that, if already rendered unconscious, they remain so for as long as a telepath continues to "sedate" them.
- Mind Alteration: Astrid can alter the minds of others by force of will, changing their personality partially or entirely. This can also be used to implant subconscious thoughts like unexplained aversion to certain words or ideas.
- Memory Erasure: Astrid can cause loss of particular memories or total amnesia in another person or group of people.
- Telepathic Detection: She can sense the presence of another person, mutant or not, within a small but as yet undefined radius of oneself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
- Telepathic Tracking: Enhanced Psionic senses enable Astrid to track other sentient beings by their unique Psionic emanations.
- Psionic Blasts: She can project Psionic force bolts or blast waves which can do damage on either a physical or mental level and which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness. Astrid has been shown to use this ability as a reflexive response to a physical attack, resulting in the aggressor being thrown across the room.
- Psionic Lightning: She can channel the ambient Psionic energy in the air through a target having a physical effect.
Organic Diamond Form: As a result of undergoing a body-wide Secondary Mutation, Astrid possesses the ability to transform her body into a flexible organic diamond form. In many ways, this is similar to Colossus' organic steel form. She must transform all parts of her body, rather than selectively transforming certain areas and can remain in this form for an undetermined amount of time. If she is rendered unconscious, her body will automatically transform into its normal state. She does not have access to her telepathy while in her diamond form.
- Superhuman Strength: In her diamond form, Astrid's physical strength is increased to superhuman levels. Her upper limit has yet to be defined, however, she has been seen overpowering Warpath.
- Superhuman Stamina: While transformed, her muscles produce almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting her almost limitless superhuman stamina, or at least until or unless she is forced to resume her normal state.
- Superhuman Durability: Her diamond form renders her highly resistant to most forms of physical injury. She is able to resist great impact forces, such as being repeatedly struck with superhuman force, without being injured. She has withstood direct hits from Cyclops's' optic blasts, blows from the Hulk, and multiple energy blasts and physical hits from Stark Sentinels. Her body is also resistant to temperature extremes, able to withstand temperatures as cold as -390 degrees Fahrenheit or as hot as approximately 7362 degrees Fahrenheit before her form begins to melt. Frost is also self-sustained while transformed, requiring no food or water.
- Telepathic Immunity: Astrid has shown to be immune to other telepathic powers in her diamond form, but in turn, she is unable to use her own telepathic powers until she turns back.
- Immortality: While in her diamond form, Astrid does not age, making her effectively immortal.
