History
Written by: Joshua W. Murcray

Born in the Kenora District of northern Ontario, Kanata as a member of the Asubpeeschoseewagong First Nation. After her parents died, she was adopted by Norwegian refugees. No one knows what her original name was.

At the exact moment of The Great Burn wave passing through her area, "Jonni" was being sprayed with several fire extinguishers as her electric race car was engulfed in flames after she had crashed into a wall, having been bumped too strongly by a fellow driver during a practice race.

Thermokinesis

Cryokinesis: Centigrade has the ability to generate extreme temperatures of cold from her body. By absorbing heat from the atmosphere, she could freeze molecules of moisture that hung in the air creating a variety of effects. Primarily this was used to freeze others in place or to create a sheen of ice over an intended target. Her powers are so strong that she actually succeeded in freezing all of City of New York at one point...accidentally, of course. Centigrade can also use her powers to summon gusts of super-cold air, with which she would use to hurl frozen objects (usually ice daggers) at specified targets. She would often use hand gestures while doing this, to make it appear as if she could project ice directly from her fingertips (which she can now do, but at first she had not learned it yet). This was not necessary however, and was done mostly for theatrical effect.

Durability: Superhuman: Centigrade is surprisingly, and extremely durable. She was able to to shake off a punch from Avalanche, and has taken multiple punches from Tiapolotautai.

Energy Absorption: Contrary to others who share her power set, heat does little damage to Centigrade. Centigrade is able to absorb heat of her surroundings and other beings. Attacking Centigrade with a heat based-weapon would only serve to strengthen her.

Flight Speed: Supersonic: Centigrade's plasma has a high hydrogen content, and is surrounded by an exuded cloud of mono-atomic hydrogen atoms. The hot cloud provides sufficient positive buoyancy for her to float. With mental stimulation of her flame, she can provide enough lift to carry around 180 pounds. By forming a jet from her feet, directed behind her, she can achieve a normal flight speed of 140 miles per hour, and accelerate up to supersonic speeds capable of catching up with faster beings such as Virgo while in Eden's orbit.

Thermokinesis: Centigrade has the ability to mentally control the ambient heat energy within her immediate environment, even when she herself is not aflame. She can reduce objects' temperatures (if they are in a normal range for existing on Eden's surface) to about 30°F, raise them to several hundred degrees, or extinguish open flames. Her radius of influence is about 80 feet. The heat energy she takes from the environment is absorbed into her own body. If she takes in a critical amount while she is not aflame, she will become aflame. There are unknown limits to the amount of flame she can absorb into her own body harmlessly while she is herself aflame.

Ice-Magic: Centigrade can, at will, project in various forms quantities of ice and snow through her hands just enough to down an opponent. She can create platforms of ice upon which she can skate. She is able to generate larger amounts of ice and snow, and conjure massive icy figures.

Immunity to Cold, Fire & Heat: Centigrade is unaffected by heat and flames, including her own, even when part of her is aflame and the rest of her is not. Her flesh cannot be scalded or burned by any heat source whose level is below that of her maximum output.

Pyrogenesis: Centigrade possesses the mental ability to control ambient heat energy and the physical ability to transform her entire body, or portions of her body into a fiery, plasma-like state of will. The cells of a normal human body convert energy from foodstuffs into a form of energy usable by the body, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Among other meta-mutant changes, her genetic code has been rearranged in a way that causes Centigrade's ATP production sites to generate a new form of energy containing molecule. (Mr. Excelsior has dubbed this molecule adenine ribo-heptaphosphine, AR-HP.) This complex molecule not only provides ordinary bodily energy but contains large stores of latent chemical-bonding energies. Another favorable mutagenic change is her cells' ability to utilize this extra energy by converting it into a moderate-density, plasma-like state that is regulated by a subconscious mental field and can be modified by an act of will. When sufficient quantities of energy are consumed, Centigrade unavoidably reverts to her solid state.

Plasma Form: Centigrade possesses the physical ability to envelop her entire body or portions of her body with fiery plasma without harm to herself (plasma is superheated states of matter such as exists in the atmosphere of stars). This is different from Jubilent who is composed of plasma. Ordinarily, it is a low-intensity flame of low-level plasma (approximately 780℉), which ranges from 1-5 inches from her body. She can, however, generate much higher levels and flames about herself. The energy used to support her low-level plasma is small; only when Centigrade wills her flame to a higher level does the majority of surplus energy with the AR-HP complex become involved. In its plasma state, Centigrade's body is no longer solid and projectiles that are not melted pass harmlessly through her body.

Pyrokinesis: Centigrade can generate shapes composed of fire from any point on her body (she usually employs her hands to "sculpt" the flames, occasionally as a lasso to ensnare enemies). she can form fire into long streams, spheres, or even more complex shapes like letters in skywriting. These flame-objects will only remain their shapes as long as she concentrates upon them. The objects will only burn about 3 minutes before expiring unless Centigrade continues to infuse them with energy. The temperature of these fiery projections is generally around 2,800°F (near the melting point of iron).

Stellar Flame: Centigrade refers to her highest, hottest levels of plasma that she can create as "going stellar." The exact temperatures that her "going stellar" can reach are not known. At an average rate of expenditure of energy, Centigrade can stay aflame for about 16.8 hours. She cannot maintain her "going stellar" for as long a time as she can maintain her ordinary flame. Centigrade can release all of her body's stored energy in one intense, omni-directional "nova-burst," which can reach about 1,000,000°F, which is similar to the heat-pulse of a nuclear warhead detonation, with an area of total devastation of about 900 feet in diameter and the power of a supernova. (Centigrade has claimed that she can destroy a small moon with her "nova-burst.") This violent discharge uses her entire reserve of energy at once (except for the necessary amount to keep her alive), entirely exhausting her flame power. She generally requires at least 12 hours to recover entirely from such a feat.

Weaknesses

Energy Depletion: At an average rate of expenditure of energy, Centigrade can maintain her fiery state for about 16.8 hours before she is forced to revert to her solid state.

Fire Extinguishing: Centigrade's flame is supported by the presence of oxygen, and thus is extinguished in low air pressure or a vacuum. Centigrade's flame can be extinguished by smothering materials, such as water, sand, fire-fighting foam, and heat-resistant blankets, unless her flame is at such an intensity that it immediately vaporizes such materials on contact. If hit with small amounts of water, up to about five gallons, Centigrade can turn it to steam with relative ease. More water than could extinguish her flame at its normal level, and she would have to wait until she evaporates the residual moisture before re-ignition.

Physical Condition: Centigrade's physical condition (health, injury or exhaustion) also limits her flame's duration.

Trivia

(Physical Features/Speaking Voice/Likely Vocabulary/Characteristics/Mannerisms)

Gender Dysphoria: Jonni has felt like she was meant to be male her whole life, but being raised in a community where this was considered "against nature" Jonni has done her best to show everyone that she is just as strong and capable as a man, despite being born in a female body. Even when she became an adult, she was constantly shamed for thinking of going through a gender transition. When her powers manifested and she first became a being of solid ice, her form was that of a man. Even when covered in flames, her form looks to be androgynous. In the culture of her original people, she classifies as Two Spirit.

Power Wash: Since Jonni burns off any dirt or germs in her body when she flames on, she hasn't had the actual need to brush her teeth or take a shower since she gained her powers.

Voice: If this becomes a cartoon, the voice of Centigrade should be done by someone from the Kenora District of northern Ontario, Canada and a member of the Asubpeeschoseewagong First Nation.
