FINESSE

 

FINESSE

Real Name: Jeanne Foucault

First Appearance: Avengers Academy (Vol. 1) #1, August 2010

Powers: Finesse is a polymath, possessing an advanced mind and intuitive learning abilities. She believes herself to be the daughter of the Taskmaster, having inherited a version of his photographic reflexes. She is indeed capable of replicating any physical action or fighting style she observes, and keeps herself trained to the peak of human capability to make full use of her assimilated skills. Unlike the Taskmaster, Finesse actually possesses a more general intuitive learning capacity, beyond photographic reflexes. She has a eidetic memory and can rapidly assimilate other skills that are both purely cerebral in nature and cannot be learned through observation: She is self-taught in various languages, computer hacking and programming, lip-reading, etc. She is phenomenally observant, able to interpret body language for mild behavioral cues, and recognize datum and patterns that would typically escape the notice of others.
