Background

Marie Colbert was a film star back in the 1930's. She moved from France to the UK before coming to Hollywood and had an accent reflecting that. Her last production was a much larger hit than anyone expected. To celebrate, Marie decided to take a trip to the South Pacific, where she subsequently vanished.

The DMA is still trying to validate this claim, as it would make Marie one of the oldest active metahumans. Her powers are also unusual not cleanly fitting any one of the normal modern classifications. Marie has given very little detail about her activities or whereabouts in the years between her disappearance and current registration with the DMA.

Currently Marie is leading the Operatives. She does not have a personal agent. Marie has indicated that she is fluent in multiple languages.

DMA agents on San Clemente Island reported that she practiced martial arts regularly, but that her form seemed to be very rusty at the start of that training.

Personality and hobbies

Marie typically comes across as very reserved and formal, but this may be a result of her appearance. She is incredibly fit and beautiful, even by metahuman standards and her demeanor is one way in which she maintains boundaries with most other people.

While she does not allow herself much downtime, Marie does enjoy relaxing by the ocean and drinking expensive champaign.

Powers

Longevity & Regeneration

Marie's body automatically repairs all damage, including age based degeneration. Her regeneration is not as fast as some other metahumans on record, but it does appear to be more comprehensive. By her own account she is even able to regrow lost limbs and organs. Marie is incredibly fit, and has indicated that this power is part of the reason why. She is able to train much harder and longer than most people since her body will quickly recover.

Crystal Generation

This power enables Marie to create crystal in many different forms. Most notably Marie has created crystal walls of various shapes to protect others. She also is able to create crystal armor, which is essentially a form fitting layer of crystal around her body. The most notable crystal weapon she creates are razor sharp shards which she can fire at opponents. Marie is able to control the crystal she creates as long as she is touching it, which is how she gives her shards so much force. Similarly her control over her crystal armor vastly increases both her functional strength and speed.

Psychic Powers

Like most psychics, Marie has a range of abilities, but her most notable powers are oriented around empathy and healing. Marie is able to sense and project emotions. Her healing is also empathic, and she transfers a target's wounds to her own body--where they are taken care of by her own regeneration. She is also able to exert a limited amount of control over other people's bodies and minds in other ways that go beyond pure empathy and healing. She also appears to have some common types psychic awareness that grant her glimpses of the future or an awareness of impending danger.

Enchanted Knife

This weapon has been rendered permanently invisible and Marie nearly always carries it in the field. She has indicated that it is also a 'demonslaying' weapon but no further data is available on this claim.

Marie may have additional abilities or equipment which are not yet documented.
