Polaris

Lorna Dane (Mutant hero) F GD(10) Health: 56 A GD(10) S TY(6) Karma: 60 E RM(30) R GD(10) Resources: Ty(6) I EX(20) P RM(30) Popularity: 3 KNOWN POWERS: MAGNETIC CONTROL: Polaris has Amazing (50) control over iron and iron-based substances (including steel and steel alloys) that is very similar to Magneto's power. Unlike Magneto, Polaris can only manipulate such objects if they are within a 10 area range. ENERGY CONTROL: Like Magneto, Polaris can affect other forms of energy; however, her experience to date involves manipulating only magnetic, electrical, and gravitational energy fields. She does this at an Incredible (40) level, allowing her to inflict up to 40 points of damage, overload electrical systems, etc., at a 5 area range. FLIGHT: Polaris can also manipulate the planet's magnetic field to fly; she has Excellent (20) Air Speed. The same restrictions on Magneto's flying power* apply to Polaris, but she has a weight limitation of 10 tons. *She can widen this flight field to include others. For every additional character she adds to her flight, her speed drops by one area per round. Polaris can cause other people to fly against their will and control their flight path, if they are wearing some ferrous metal. FORCE FIELD: Polaris can project a force field of Amazing (50) strength about herself and extending over one area. This force field decreases in strength by one rank for each additional area it covers. Unlike Magneto, she cannot manipulate other energies through her force field. TALENTS: Lorna shares a common interest in geophysics with Alex Summers; her Reason is Remarkable (30) in that field. CONTACTS: Due to her close relationship with Alex, Lorna maintains close contacts with Cyclops (and by association, X-Factor). RUNNING POLARIS: Lorna just wants to live an unthreatened life as a geophysicist. She was orphaned at a young age and needs a meaningful relationship. She had a brief relationship with Bobby Drake (Iceman), but then began dating Alex Summers (Havok). She now lives with Alex in the Diablo Mountains in Arizona, where they are working on their doctorate degrees. She is a reserve member of the X-Men and will answer a call to duty but would prefer living in solitude with Alex.
