Powers:

Elemental Mimicry & Manipulation:

When Miranda makes physical contact with a substance (in what ever state - solid, liquid, gad or plasma) she can convert her body into that substance. At first she can control only the converted material aka herself, but if she stays in one form for 2 hours or more she can control the substance no matter its origin. Her abilities depend on the subsistence she turned into. With some substances she can hide her transformation (these substances can only be discover by trial-and-error method and are people specific (Miranda can stay in human form while someone else couldn't)) but it can be detected by a strong physical contact. Miranda can't convert from one substance to another - she has to turn back human first. In all non-human forms she is impervious to poisons and toxins (unless they react to the substance she's made of); mental attacks and mind reading; she doesn't require food, water, air etc; immune to pressure changes.

The Nanobot Armor:

The Nanobot Armor work in along with her elemental mimicry and manipulation powers. The Armor makes her body turn into an unstable chemical compound called Binary 49-B. In this she looks human but it gives her a multitude of abilities that include:

• Super-Human Physical Attributes like Strength, Agility, Speed, etc.
• Flight
• Some Level of Invulnerability (Medium-Rate Gunfire, Human-Propelled Weapons, Most Physical Attacks Unless Done by Super Strength)

Genius Intellect & Scientific Mind:

Miranda is a natural genius with a very high IQ but it applies mostly to science. She can study these things in a very short time and apply them on a near expert level.

Business Expertise:

Miranda turned the Science-Branch from almost clandestine organization to fortune 500 company to one of the most successful enterprises on the planet.

Technology Expert (Really Undiscovered Technopathy):

Miranda just gets tech like a snap.... That's it. She gets it and can use it without any problems.

Implanted Skills:

When Miranda's DNA was rewritten, some extra skills were added in hopes of turning her into an assassin. Instead she rebelled and used them against her makers. These include:

• Expert Killer - nearly a million ways to easily kill a person.
• Expert Marksman - can use nearly all projectile weapons in an expert manner
• Expert Mixed Martial Artist - can combine different fighting techniques successfully in an expert manner

Expert Thief:

Miranda is a self-taught thief. She can pick pockets, pick locks, hack, break an entering without being detected by most security technology.

Miranda is a self-taught grifter. Basically she can con people and disguise (includes voice, clothes, make-up, etc) herself so well only a really really really observant person can tell.

Crazy:

Miranda is coo coo for Cocoa Puffs; two scoops of crazy with a side of coo-coo-cachoo. She's loopy. ... Yeah.

Equipment:

Diary of Miranda Frost

Entry #P8X-412

I have to say I'm actually quite happy living on a space ship. Even if it is a bit small. I mean The Tempest is only meant for 60 people. The Aurora can support up to 500 people. But honestly I don't mind - I actually like it. I'm think of this place as a test home ... with enough firepower to decimate a small city. Oh, well - can't be that picky. And there are enough good things about it: teleport rings, I installed the beaming tech, an armory filled to the brim, more then a few pieces of equipment the world hasn't seen before and a huge bed. That last part's my favorite. For obvious reasons.

Though I am trying to hold myself back. Corinthos keeps telling me he's fine but it hasn't been that long and I can't help but worry. It would be so much easier if he was human. Well, that's not true, a human couldn't go through all of what he did. And when I think about it, it makes me want to kill people. But then I go down to the maintenance bay and look at that box of green slime. That just happens to be the remains of the man who did this to my love. And the best thing - even as slime he is still alive and suffering more then he could ever produce on his own.

But that's not important. Not really. It's all in the past and I have no intention of looking back. Well, if I do, then only on the good parts. Most of them have to do with Corinthos anyway and he still here and he'll always will be here, next to me. I know that without a shadow of a doubt. But the ring helps of course.

(Next post in a couple of day.)

I have decided to start a weekly (hopefully) blog about comic-book and not so comic-book related subjects. The first topic, as people can guess from the title, is related to X-Men: First Class. I know that there are quite the number of people who were not happy with the portrayal of Emma Frost by January Jones. I think I don't have to list the reasons. But after watching the movie a couple of more times I have noticed subtle moments that are worth the Diamond Beauty. SPOILERS! I will be giving the context of the moments so if you haven't watched the movie stop reading.
 

Moment nr. 1 - The Stare

Moment nr. 2 - The Smile(s)

Moment nr. 3 - The Prison

Extra moment - The Curtain

The Kara Kesh is a multifunctional device and a new weapon of choice for Miranda. All of its features can be accessed using the neural interface
 

Features:

• A scanner - designed to scan an item and reveal any information (Chemical composition; trace evidence etc.)
• A kinetic wave - the wave is powerful enough to throw adults several meters. It can also kill when the target hits a close solid surface.
• A neural link - a forced neural like to the victim's brain, intended to torture or even kill.
• An energy shield - creates a shield that can block laser weapons, bullets and many other fast projectiles.
• A remote control for beaming tech - can use the beaming tech to beam herself away without needing the commander of the ship to do it.
  

I think from the title what is is about. I have a couple of ideas and I'd like opinions on which I should pick. I might use the others as well in some form at a later time.
