## Powers and Abilities

**Telepathy:** Karma has limited to moderated telepathic and empathic capabilities which were never truly touched upon by Professor Xavier. She has received some training with Emma Frost in that regard, but her psychic prowess is nowhere near that of Frost's. Like most telepaths, Karma can read an individual's thoughts and feelings, sift through memories, or discharge mental blasts to overwhelm opponents. It has been speculated that Karma's possession abilities are actually a sub-power of her other core telepathic mutation.

* ***Mind Possession:*** Karma has the psionic ability to project a mental energy surge that overwhelms her victims' consciousness while placing her mind in command, operating their bodies as if they were an extension of her own experiencing what the subject's senses perceive. During the possession, her subject's higher brain functions revert to diminished levels, similar to their state in a dreamless sleep, and the subject is left with no memory of the actual possession. When Karma first takes possession of someone, she can only move her subject's body awkwardly until she acclimates herself to her new host.
	+ ***​Mass Possession:*** Although Karma can possess multiple subject simultaneously, her control over her subjects is fragmented as she shifts her attention from one to another. It is possible that she will overcome this handicap as her experience in using her powers grows.
	+ ***Remote Possession:*** Karma can possess individuals over a distance while maintaining her original body, but her control is limited.
* ***Mind Control:*** She can control her subject's actions and thought patterns, allowing her to alter their perceptions and memories or command entranced opponents to divulge information.
* ***Sensory Link:*** Karma may establish a scrying link either through partial or remote possession and gain the feelings and sensations of her target. While ranged possession means controlling a body in another location requires her to see through her victim's eyes, she needs greater focus to control them and has sometimes appeared to be in a meditative state.
* ***Psychic Shield:*** Karma generates a psychic shield that disrupts incoming psi-signatures, protecting from her all manner of psychic assaults.
