Powers; Jessica possesses superhuman strength (can lift at least up to 7 tons), endurance and speed. She can focus her bioelectric energy into "venom blasts" sufficient to stun or kill normal humans, and she can also adhere to almost any surface. Jessica rapidly forms an immunity to all poisons and drugs, and is totally immune to radiation. Her metabolism generates pheromones which attract human males while repulsing females, though she uses a chemical "perfume" that can nullify this effect. Jessica has lost and regained her powers more than once, but has recently emerged with her powers restored greater than ever.
Abilities; Jessica is an experienced fighter and excellent investigator.
Weapons; none
Paraphernalia; Jessica previously used the collapsible "wings" of her Hydra-designed costume to allow her to "fly" by gliding on air currents. She currently has full flight powers regardless of the costume.
