Jessica Sanders hurls D.L. Hawkins across the room using her enhanced strength.

Enhanced Strength is the ability to exert greater than normal physical force.

Characters

Jessica Sanders is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Jessica has superhuman physical strength sufficient to tear apart strong metal objects with her bare hands. In addition to being able to exert such force, her own flesh and bone must be strong enough to resist the forces she can applies, so she is not injured when she performs superhuman feats of strength.

Although Niki and Jessica appear to share a common body, to date only Jessica has demonstrated enhanced strength.

Examples

Jessica has shown super-strength capable of:

  • Throwing D.L. a distance of over 10 feet on multiple occasions, with ease. (Better Halves, Fallout)
  • Ripping a body completely in half. At the money launderer's, she rips several people in half in a short period of time in this case, indicating that this is a relatively easy task for her. (Don't Look Back, Better Halves )
  • Tearing the door off a small office safe. (Stolen Time)

Jessica has also demonstrated what appears to be enhanced reaction time (for example, she killed an entire room full of men, at least one of them armed, in a very short time). This may be a side-effect of the enhanced strength ability.
