Fun Facts: Meketre is an incredibly huge fan of Captain America practically worshipping everything he does.
She has worked closely with Clint Barton and keeps in close contact with him having cultivated a good friendship with the archer.
Storm acted as a mother-figure for Meketre when she was a young child.
Wolverine helped her to learn boxing as a teen. And will correct her form when she returns to the mansion.
Powers and Abilities: Umbrakinesis; complete control to shape and manipulate darkness and shadow. Meketre can use it in a transparent way or make the darkness physical, forging weapons and doubles.
She became aware that it wasn't actually traditional umbrakinesis that she had control of but actually, the darkness comes from a form of cosmic manipulation. Meketre can create, shape and manipulate cosmic energies to produce nearly any effect; including molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter (this effect only works on herself, nothing else), the creation of force fields (very small, and often times weak), the creation of inter-dimensional portals and vortexes, and cosmic awareness on a universal scale which translates into an empathic ability around human beings.
Strengths: Deep empathy for the emotions of others and because of this, Meketre is excellent in picking out when someone is lying.
A resistance to telepathic assault.
Has a cosmic form which can deflect or absorb a number of various energy-based attacks.
Weaknesses: Distracted by major cosmic events (supernovas, vast emotional disturbances such as a world dying, wormhole shifts, etc.) which results in long moments of day-dreaminess.
Meketre is not immune to telepathy in full though she is resistant.
Prolonged use of her cosmic form results in large scale physical weakness and mental fatigue.
