Powers; Aurora possesses the ability to move and fly at superhuman speeds. Through an act of concentration, she can channel a portion of the kinetic energy of the atomic motion in her body’s molecules in a single direction, accelerating her body to a velocity in direct proportion to the amount of kinetic energy she has tapped. It is theoretically possible for Aurora to reach 99% of the speed of light (186,272 miles per second in a vacuum), but practical reasons - such as her inability to breathe at such speeds and the damage her body would suffer from wind and friction - prevent her from reaching anywhere near that speed. Even a fraction of such velocity of a solid object through Earth’s atmosphere would wreak havoc on the atmosphere and on the land or sea below. As a side effect of partially robbing her molecules of their atomic motion, the binding forces within and between the molecules increase which enhances the sheer toughness of Aurora’s entire body. This effect gives her skin enough durability to withstand speeds up to at least Mach 10 without injury. Formerly, by coming into physical contact with her brother, Aurora could vary the rate of acceleration of her molecules to release a cascade of photons as bright as a lighthouse beacon.
Following alteration of her cellular structure by Sasquatch, Aurora’s powers evolved from being able to generate light by herself to the point where she could transform into a being of pure light, the energy from which could bring inner peace to others. When these powers were exhausted, Aurora was still able to generate light and could alter its intensity from a hypnotic glow to dazzling brilliance or even concussive force.
After genetic modification by the Weapon X Project, Aurora can now accelerate the molecules within an inanimate object or a living being by touch, causing it to tear itself apart from the subsequent stress generated upon it.

NOTES: Aurora is one of the founding member of Alpha Flight, former lover to Sasquatch and twin sister to Northstar. However, she suffers from a split personality. She eventually got help with Alpha Flight and later Weapon X but later turned to terrorism and attacked the X-men with Northstar.
