TRANSONIC

 

TRANSONIC

Real Name: Laurie Tromette

First Appearance: The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) #526, September 2010

Powers: Transonic’s mutation is specially designed for high-speed flight. Her body is composed of a form of crystal that facilitates her abilities. She is capable of achieving supersonic propulsion under her own power, and her shifting crystalline skin can adapt itself to the experience. The extent of these adaptions are unknown, but appear to include biological flaps and ailerons that control the wind flow around her, giving her stunning reflexes and aerial maneuverability, as well as protection from high-velocity wind resistance and air friction. The changes to her body vary depending on the circumstances of her flying. When flying in a straight line at maximum velocity, her body flattens out in a highly aerodynamic bullet shape; when engaged in high altitude dog-fighting requiring extra maneuverability, she can grow wings, fins, and other body elements to improve her agility.
