SPECIES: Homo superior
ALIAS: Skein
ORIGIN: Las Vegas, Nevada
APPEARANCE:
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Green
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 144 lbs
STRENGTH LEVEL: Skein possesses the normal human strength of a woman of her age, weight, and build who engages in minimal regular exercise.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Skein possesses the mental ability of psychokinesis, the power to manipulate materials and objects with her mind. Because all matter has a powerful and specific "texture" to her mind, she prefers to only manipulate "soft" substances like fibers and other malleable, yielding substances. (This preference extends to the point of her having a strong aversion to mentally touching anything hard or solid.) Thus she confines her manipulation to such substances as fabrics (both organic and synthetic) and organic tissue such as that of plants or animals.
The maximum amount of material she can manipulate at once is equivalent to the amount of weight she can lift physically, about 120 pounds. She is able to make such gross movements as yanking 120 pounds of cloth across a room all at once or such fine movements as threading a needle from across the room. She is able to totally reweave clothing from one body to another hundreds of times faster than any sewing machine. She is able to constrict her foes by their own clothing and hair, or even control their gross movements (providing their clothes are durable enough). Furthermore, she can even control living organic tissue, causing muscles to cramp, skin to break, or blood vessels to burst or contract. She can even interweave substances in very subtle, but cohesive ways. She often interweaves silken wings with the skin tissue of her own back. The range of her influence is about fifty feet.
Skein is able to use her psychokinetic powers for levitation. Since she is able to lift her own weight, she is able to lift into the air her own body and clothing. By concentration, she is able to move through the air as if she were swimming. Skein is able to fly at a top speed of about 20 miles per hour for periods of time up to a half hour before tiring from the mental exertion. Her wings are strictly ornamental, not functional. Because of her weight limit, she is unable to carry anyone else aloft. She can, however, levitate another person, provided he or she weighs less than 120 pounds.
