Dr. Susan Moone worked hard to become a member of NASA and in the year 2028, became the first woman to pilot a spacecraft to Venus.

She also happened to be the first Homo Magi to ever venture into space, though she was not aware, at the time, that she was a member of the Homo Magi.

It was during this fateful trip, that calculations failed them and the ship was bombarded with cosmic radiation, altering Dr. Moone on a molecular level.

In 241 days of returning to Tesla Station, Dr. Moone becomes the sole survivor of her crew as each of them died due to catastrophic DNA mutation. Her Homo Magi genetic make-up was just different enough to have protected her from the worst of the side effects of the irradiated chemical storm.

Invisibility:

Mirage has the mental ability to manipulate ambient cosmic energy for a variety of magical effects, including the rendering of herself and other objects invisible, and the construction of solid, invisible force fields.

In a yet unknown manner, cosmic energy interacts with the cells of her entire body in such a way as to produce a new form of energy with magical properties. By a simple act of concentration, and without having to speak a spell, she can cause all wavelengths of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light to bend around her without distortion; she also somehow directs enough un-distorted light to her eyes to retain her full range of vision while invisible. An observer, unaware of the peculiar path light takes around her body, would have the sensation of seeing through her.

Mirage can also mentally project the magical energy produced within the cells of her body in order to render other people or objects invisible. The largest volume she can yet turn invisible at a single time is approximately 40,000 cubic feet of volume (1,133 cubic meters), equivalent to a small swimming pool.

She has enough control over her power that she can turn parts of her body selectively invisible. She is also able to make objects that have been turned invisible by other sources visible by letting her own energy projection interfere with that other method of invisibility. Further, she can make energy that is not in the visual portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible by a similar interaction.

Mirage can also sense something made invisible by magical or psionic means but not by physical means (such as a machine).

Color Manipulation: Mirage can also apply her ability to manipulate the interactions of light waves to seemingly change the color of objects, for example altering her hair color or turning Ele'ele 'O Rokk pink.

Cosmic Ray Awareness: Mirage's retinol can detect cosmic rays as well as visible light. This allows her to perceive her own force fields and other invisible objects and, with concentration, can also provide her with a limited form of vision, allowing her to "see" even if blinded.

Photokinesis

Psionic Force Field: While the cells of Mirage's body produce a certain energy manifestation, the cells of her brain produce a different, more potent manifestation. Through concentration, she can project a field of psionic force which she can manipulate into several relatively simple forms: rectangular planes, cylinders, globes, domes, cones, etc. The complexity of the shape is limited by her ability to imagine (mentally visualize) a particular form and keep it in sharp mental focus: not even she is able to see the forms she creates. The size of a given psionic force projection is also limited by her ability to imagine. The smallest force projection she can visualize (and maintain the visualization) is the size of a marble. The largest solid force projection she can visualize and maintain is about 100 feet in diameter. She can project larger force-objects if they are hollow. For instance, she could visualize and project a dome 1 foot thick about a mile in diameter (5,280 feet) and a dome 1 inch in thickness she can project for about 3.2 miles. Small objects at high speeds become missiles; large objects at slow speeds become rams. She can make these objects grow or shrink as desired.

Mirage can use the projection of her psionic force to travel through the air. By projecting a rising column beneath her feet and simultaneously causing it to expand and topple at the same time, then creating another column that catches her, shrinks, rights itself and then repeating the process, she can affect a zig-zag flight path. She can reach an average speed of about 25 miles per hour, until she becomes fatigued by the concentration, after about 4 hours.

Mirage's force fields have also prevented telekinesis from passing through them. This was shown when she used a force field around herself to keep Thunderbird's telekinesis from affecting her. The force field made it impossible for Thunderbird to attack her with telekinesis. When Mirage put a force field around Thunderbird, her telekinetic attack upon various other persons in the immediate vicinity ceased. Mirage also demonstrated a similar ability when under a telepathic attack. The attack was unable to reach her mind while her force field was up. When Mirage projects her force field around an intangible person, like Angãraka, they automatically become solid.

Since this power, though magical in nature, is an extension of her mind and body, Mirage is affected by inertial forces acting upon her projections. Thus, if a car traveling at 60 miles per hour hit a wall of her force that was 6 inches thick, unless she generated a bracing shape against a sufficiently sturdy object, she would be affected as though she were hit by the car directly. Mirage can control the surface of the field's rigidity to a certain extent. She can cause the surface of the field to be very hard, depending on its thickness (steel-like at about 2.5 feet), or as resilient as foam rubber. By making the field more resilient she can absorb more of the inertia of impacts within the field without having them transmitted to her body. She is also, through training, able to alter the shapes she creates while utilizing those shapes, often to absorb or deflect the force of impacts. When she creates objects of fields that are at the limit of her ability to mentally visualize, they tend to be resilient rather than rigid.

As she has grown in the use of her powers, currently these fields can withstand impacts of Class 100 strength, a literally astronomical level. She can generate and manipulate multiple psionic force fields simultaneously.

Shock Waves: Mirage can use her force fields as shock waves hitting her opponent with the force field capable of hurting Jade.

Magic

Mirage is a very powerful sorceress to the point of being described as the world's top spellcaster. She appears to possess the ability to manipulate magical energy for any number of effects. A unique aspect of her power is her sensitivity to magic. She was able to link to the essence of Y Ffwl Mad, using the connection to speak Y Ffwl Mad's thoughts to the rest of the group. She was able to mystically track Wrath by divining his magical trail. Mirage is even able to remotely access another magic-user's power, as she did with Nacht Wunder to aid him in his battle with Wrath.

Mental Illness: When Mirage processes too much magic too quickly, her personality shifts to become volatile and evil.

Homo Magi Synergism: All Homo Magi are tethered to each other. They can be apart within their own universe and retain a connection. Each member of the Homo Magi can sense another even when in disguise. The more they are familiar with another member, the easier it is to sense them as well as the direction they are located.

Sound Constructs: Mirage's force fields are permeable to sound waves, thus either Warhawk or Royal Hawk could use their sonic screams to crack, crumble, or pass through Mirage's constructs.

Hair: She is renowned for her changing hairstyles (once said to match Royal Hawk's changing costumes).

Coloration: While she could change her skintone and eye redness, and has on some missions, she prefers to leave her albinism alone (except for her hair).

Voice: If this becomes a cartoon, the voice of Mirage should be done by Ellen Dubin.
