Marvel Comics/Gloriana

**Gloriana** (Meggan Puceanu Braddock) is a mutant and Faery hybrid from *Marvel Comics*.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Enhanced Strength:** Gloriana mostly keeps her strength at a decent 50 tons, but since she has a deep connection with the Earth, she actually draws strength from the planet. Because of this, she can augment her strength to 100+ tons.

**Enhanced Durability:** She has survived energy-based, blunt force, weapon-based, and magical attacks without lasting harm.

**Empathy:** She possesses a telepathic talent that enables her to sense the emotions and feelings of all living creatures, including people, animals, and planets.

* **Empathic Manipulation:** Gloriana can also broadcast her own feelings in order to influence others people's emotions.

**Environmental Sense:** Gloriana has the ability to perceive natural and biological patterns of force in the world around her, linking her with these patterns. This power connects with her empathic and shapeshifting abilities. With this power, she can sense electromagnetic forces, air current, chemical reactions, and even telepathic communications.

* **Mediumship:** She can also see and sometimes communicate with ghosts.

**Shapeshifting:** Gloriana is a shapeshifter who can assume the form of any living creature, even those who only exist in legends. Due to her empathic ability, her body actually changes in response to the emotions around her, becoming beautiful when she feels loved or hideous when she feels fear or anger. Her elemental powers can also cause her to morph to her surroundings, such as growing fur in extreme cold or gills when she is submerged underwater.

* **Power Mimicry:** If she takes on the appearance of another superhuman, she also gains their superhuman powers. This even worked when she morphed into a female version of the Silver Surfer.
* **Elemental Form:** She has demonstrated the ability to turn herself into sentient sand or water.
* **Omnilingualism:** She appears to be able to intuitively understand new languages, as she understood the dialect of Mbangawi without effort.

**Elemental Manipulation:** In her true form, Gloriana can manipulate, absorb, or release the natural elements of the world, including earth, air, fire, water, and energy. Due to her empathic ability, she has a psionic link to the natural forces of the Earth, and by "speaking" to the elements, she can command the environment around her; her emotional state can also affect local ecosystems.

* **Fire Manipulation:** She is capable of generating and controlling fire. She is capable of extinguishing forest fires with a thought.
* **Air Manipulation:** She can generate and control wind and air, enabling her to summon gale force winds.
* **Water Manipulation:** Gloriana can generate and manipulate water. She is able to part the waters of a lake with a wave of her hand.
* **Earth Manipulation:** She can also manipulate the earth to the point of causing earthquakes in a flash of anger. She can also draw power from the Earth to strengthen her other powers.
* **Energy Manipulation:** Gloriana can also generate and manipulate energy like the other elements. She can also manipulate magical energies, such as by deflecting spells.
	+ **Energy Blasts:** She can focus her elemental energies around her into devastating energy blasts. When she absorbs powers, she begins to glow.
* **Magnetism Manipulation:** She has been observed causes electromagnetic pulses by commanding magnetic fields around her.
* **Thermal Manipulation:** Gloriana can freeze her opponents by rapidly dropping the air temperature around them.
* **Power Augmentation:** She is able to augment the powers of other mutants who possess elemental powers, such as when she increased the temperature of Pete Wisdom's heat blasts.
* **Molecular Manipulation:** Gloriana has used he rpowers to affect man-made objects, such as when she created a hole in a roof that resealed itself afterwards, leaving no trace that there had ever been a hole in it. This suggests that her powers may have a telekinetic component to them.

**Flight:** Gloriana has the ability to propel herself through the air at high speeds by force of will. While she does so, her hair streams out behind her to a length far longer than it usually is. Whether this is a conscious use of her shapeshifting powers or not is unknown. She can apparently support great weights while flying.

**Thermal Resistance:** She can adapt to her physical environment, such as by being impervious to cold without changing shape to adapt.

**Reality Warp Resistance:** Because of her shapeshifting power, Gloriana has some resistance to the reality warping powers of others. She was able to break free from the power of Jamie Braddock and was one of the few to remember the effects of the Jasper's Warp.

### Abilities

* **Hand-to-Hand Combat:** Gloriana is an experienced hand-to-hand combatant, though she has little formal training in that area.
* **Swordsmanship:** She is a skilled swordswoman, having disarmed the other dimensional Captain Britain Chevalier Bretagne in a fencing match (although she could have used her mutant powers to mimic his own skills).

### Weaknesses

* **Impulsivity/Impressionability:** Gloriana's mind does not have the same level of psychic blocks that most humans and especially beings with psionic power do. This can make her impulsive and impressionable; she often acts on the present with little concern for the past or future.
* **Reading:** Gloriana did not learn how to read until she was an adult. Even after learning, she still struggles and occasionaly comes across words that she does not know how to say aloud.
