Powers[]
Lexa Pierce herself is able to manipulate visible light to create various effects. It is not clear, whether she is a Molecular, an Elemental or some kind of a Molecular-Elemental mix.
Photokinesis: Her main power is the ability which allows her to affect electromagnetic waves of visible spectrum. She can generate a bright white/solar-like light from her body by varying the rate of acceleration of the molecules of her body, controlling the energy levels of the outer electron shells of her body in such a way as to cause the cascaded release of photons.
- Lasers: She can conduct light to her fingertips and use as a laser. By concentrating, Lexa can generate a coherent beam of light, approximating a laser beam, with which she can cut through virtually anything. She uses these lasers as a weapon to wound or even kill others.
- Photon Blasts: She can also create a blast of sparkling light "particles" to temporarily blind her foes.
- Light Refraction: Upon concentration, she is able to bend light around her to make herself invisible, which gives her a stealth-like ability. By touching others, she can make others invisible alike. Unlike Molecular Stealth New Mutants like Danielle Hartman and Catherine Hartman's abilities, her one seems to work as a camouflage or a chameleon-like effect. She can also manipulate other forms of light-like laser beams bending them to pass through laser security systems.
- Light Disruption: She can use her powers to absorb visible light thus making a place where she is covered by darkness, and use this as an advantage.
- Light Immunity: Her body, especially her eyes, shields itself against any injurious effects of her light generation abilities, and against those of bright lights in general.
