STROBE

 

STROBE

Real Name: Juliana Worthing

First Appearance: The New Mutants (Vol. 1) #86, February 1990

Powers: Strobe’s mutant power is the ability to increase the kinetic motion of molecules around her body, creating a thermal field that liquefies or incinerates matter on contact. This field is only a few inches thick, yet produces enough concentrated heat to instantly melt away speeding bullets before they can impact her skin. She can burn her way through all forms of plastics and metals, even cybernetic parts.

She can also focus her energies outwards as heat beams to melt objects from a distance, and the beams are intensely bright enough to blind opponents too resilient to burn or melt under her heat. She also demonstrated the power to fly using her abilities, through thermal updrafts and propulsion.
