It's speculation, but my theory is that Felicia emits a form of plasma energy from her forearms and hands. Since plasma is so hot (thousands of degrees Celsius), it would vaporize/disintegrate most objects it encounters. I don't think it's pyrokinesis since fire burns slowly and wouldn't give the impression of disintegration. I also don't think it's induced radioactivity as I doubt they'd keep another agent like Ted around if they thought the person could go boom (so to speak).--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 16:44, 29 April 2008 (EDT) |

My thoughts on the ability
It's speculation, but my theory is that Felicia emits a form of plasma energy from her forearms and hands. Since plasma is so hot (thousands of degrees Celsius), it would vaporize/disintegrate most objects it encounters. I don't think it's pyrokinesis since fire burns slowly and wouldn't give the impression of disintegration. I also don't think it's induced radioactivity as I doubt they'd keep another agent like Ted around if they thought the person could go boom (so to speak).--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:44, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
- I'm thinking it works by breaking down the molecular bonds of materials, causing the atomic structure to fall apart and, for all intents and purposes, making the object "disappear". The glow is probably the air being disintegrated as it touches her hands. --Piemanmoo 18:37, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
- I guess anything is possible, but breaking down molecular bonds would normally release a lot of energy which would be emitted as radiation. Also, I think that a bond-breaking glow would just be luminescent from the point of the skin and it wouldn't have bubbles. So it looks to me like Career Choices presents the ability more like a glowing gas (in the image, the glow is limited to a little above and below her arm, there are bubbles inside the glow, and there are small floating portions breaking away). Plasma is known to have gas-like properties so I still like my theory; but until we get some confirmation, it's just a theory.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:16, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
