Ivory's powers and abilities

Powers and Abilities

Ivory’s body is somehow infused with Vibranium (the Wakandan isotope). What this means is unclear, aside from providing a rubber science explanation about her powers. Said powers seem to be chiefly about vibrations and kinetic energy. A key property of Vibranium, as its name implies, is to be an impossibly efficient absorbent for vibrations.

Ivory’s powers seems to be particularly effective against metals. Perhaps because the other known isotope of Vibranium, the Arctic one, is highly efficient at destroying other metals. It is sometimes called the “anti-metal”. In practice, this means that Ivory can emulate to a degree masters of magnetism, such as Magenta or Magneto.

Aside from destroying metal objects by vibrating them to pieces, pulverising bullets shot at her, etc. Ivory has also created large tunnels and holes. This has proved invaluable to escape from delicate situations.

Somehow, Ivory’s Vibranium powers also allow her to evade sensory super-powers. Perhaps as an extension of the energy-absorbing properties of Vibranium, she can avoid detection powers such as telepathic scans. Perhaps this is done by absorbing psions. When demonstrated it was still hard for her to do, and she accidentally hurt the person she wanted to cloak.

Ivory can also set up a feedback field that will immediately bounce sonic, vibratory and kinetic assaults back to the point of origin. This field was potent enough to render Angar unconscious through the energy of his own super-scream. This example implies that Ivory can change the frequency of the feedback to bypass the defences of those who are normally immune to their own power.

Skills

Ivory also demonstrated solid hand-to-hand combat skills even before joining S.H.I.E.L.D..

According to Lobdell, she further had engineering training.
