Abilities

Powers

• Bioluminescence: Aurora has a form of energy projection known as photokinesis. She emit a wave of blinding white light from her body. Originally, she could only harness this power whenever she made physical contact with her brother, Northstar.
• Flight: Aurora can fly, hover and levitate under atmospheric conditions at great speed.
• Super-speed: Aurora channels kinetic energy and can propel herself at superhuman speed, making her one of the fastest beings on Earth.
• Superhuman reflexes: Aurora's reaction time is in accordance and proportion to her super-speed.

Skills

• Pedagogy: As Jeanne-Marie, Aurora is a professional teacher.

Weaknesses

• Mental instability: Aurora has multiple personality disorder. Primarily, this is divided between two personas. The "Aurora" side of her is a fun, carefree party girl, who doesn't mind getting dirty - in every sense of the world. The "Jeanne-Marie" side of her is very prim and proper and bookish. Nerd alert!

Strength level

• Aurora possesses the strength level of a woman her age, size and weight who engaged in moderate to intensive regular exercise. Of course, when one can punch you in the nose a thousand times in a single second, regular human strength doesn't seem quite so shabby, now does it?

Notes & Trivia

• The character of Jeanne-Marie Beaubier was created by writer & artist John Byrne and co-writer Chris Claremont.
