Powers and Abilities
At a young age Sister Psyche’s powers developed at an astonishing rate. The tremendous scope of her mental powers was far beyond that of any hero, past or present. By the time of the Rikti invasion, Sister Psyche’s powers were very much matured. But even with such power she knew she would have to exert herself to ensure victory. She did, but at a price. She exhausted her powers so thoroughly that she fell into a coma. Aided by the heroine Aurora Borealis, she was able to recover her powers.
