Abilities and Powers
Horizon has three types of enhanced senses. She can use only one at a time.
 * Zoomed sight with simultaneous viewing and processing of multiple scenes in F.O.V.
 * Sight through inorganic material. Can be used to locate persons through walls.
 * Organic sight that allows her to see the inner workings of an individual’s body in detail.

Horizon's primary offensive power is an explosive touch linked to perception. Her striker ability is somehow linked to the quality and quantity of her focus on a target. It has ranged from delivering blows at five or so times the usual strength to obliterating large vehicles. The variance in effectiveness sometimes drastically changes from one moment to the next. Furthermore, the more open area behind her target, the more she can let loose.

As a complement to her advanced senses Horizon has learned to lipread with accuracy.
