[edit] History

Born in 1961, eighteen years later (1979) she married Rex Zorus, the son of one of the First Family's enemies, Madame Majestrix. It's presumed that this family alliance caught the people of Astro City off-guard. Some of its shocking details are currently unfolding in the ongoing Dark Age story arc. [edit] Powers

Natalie channels a rare kind of energy internally through her body, whereas he brother's powers are manifested externally. She can build it up to increase her mass, growing in size, reaching even giant dimensions if she chooses. Alternately, she can tamp down the energy, decreasing her mass. While she does not decrease in size, she can lower her density this way so as to become intangible. Her energy sometimes seeps through her eyes, floating upwards like smoke -- the telltale sign of the forces coursing through her body.

This energy is the same kind that her brother, daughter, and Augustus's energenerator wield, albeit in other ways. [edit] Speculations, Observations and Theories: [edit] Timelines of Interest
