STATUS: Alive
Marlena Barnes (neé Claire) is the great-granddaughter of former Howling Commando Joseph Claire, who served alongside Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes in the 1940's. Marlena grew up learning about her great-grandfather's time as a Howling Commando through her grandfather and her father. In 2014, during a trip to the Smithsonian in Washington, Marlena meets Bucky Barnes, an old friend of her great-grandfather's. Within months, Marlena falls deeply in love with Bucky, but her feelings for the super-soldier are what lock her inside a life of war, tragedy, and pain, but it is because of him she finds the strength to overcome it all.
POWERS AND ABILITIES
Psionics: As a result of exposure to the cosmic radiation and energy from the serum obtained from Loki's Scepter—which contained the Mind Stone inside of it—Marlena acquired an array of psionic powers, which manifest in the form of bluish, glowing energy currents and mist-like shapes. When using her power, her irises sometimes glow a dark, bluish color, especially when using her mental abilities. Marlena's power, along with the combined use of her combatant abilities, makes her one of the strongest [unofficial] members of the Avengers aside from Wanda, Bruce, and Thor.
Psionic Energy Manipulation: Marlena can project energy blasts, streams, waves, and bolts projecting her own psionic and telekinetic energy, allowing her to hit, push/pull or blow away her targets, potentially exerting enough force to destroy them. This energy manifests in any shape and form, outlining her telekinetic spheres of influence, as the energy is visible in a bluish color. When a target of hers is hit with her energy, she can use her telekinesis to inflict further damage.
Telekinesis: Marlena has the ability to mentally move, levitate, and otherwise manipulate objects using her psionic energy. She uses this energy to affect and control molecules and particles, allowing her to fully control matter and energy, as well as physical forces (such as kinetic energy, friction, pressure, etc). Her emotions are linked to her powers, as she nearly destroyed an entire floor of the Avengers Tower after the pain of realizing Bucky had been shot by Hydra agents.
Levitation: Marlena is able to use this power to move herself through the air and simulate flight, in order to hover and safely float back to the ground. The use of this power manifests as a blast of psionic energy expelled from her hands onto the ground to propel herself up in the air. It operates more like a enhanced leap similarly to Hulk, thanks to the force of gravity pushing her down. Over time this power has grown from an enhanced leap into the air, to full-fledged flight.
Psionic Force-Field Generation: Marlena is able to create a highly durable barrier of energy that she can shape and deform as she needed to. She can use it to grab and break apart targets, protect others from enemy fire, contain a target or to cover and deflect attacks from enemies, such as Ultron Sentries and Rumlow's agents. Over the years, Marlena learned to project her energy around herself, essentially constructing a close-to-the-body psionic armor to protect herself against extreme impacts, such as falls from great heights, increasing her durability to a significant degree.
Telepathy: Marlena can read minds or mentally communicate and experience memories and thoughts of others or project her own thoughts through a neuro-electric interface that gives her telepathy. This ability works with or without touch.
Mental Manipulation: Marlena is able to deploy a form of mental manipulation, often as a type of illusory hypnosis, using the same neuro-electric interface that allows her telepathy.
