"She's not a firecracker. She's an atom bomb." That's how they described Jubilee in Age of Apocalypse. Ever since Emma Frost threw away that one line in the Phalanx Covenant we've been waiting for some kind of pay-off. What did Marvel mean when they said Jubilee could "detonate matter at the sub-atomic level?" An atomic bomb uses nuclear fission to detonate Uranium at the atomic level - it blows up the uranium atom. A sub-atomic detonation would attack matter at a level below molecular differentiation. That's like blowing protons and neutrons into their fundamental particles. We don't have any bombs that do this.

So they had Quentin Quire use the last remnant of his Phoenix Powers to change her back into a living being and restore her mutant powers (that she lost on M Day).

With Rainbow Girl they could've just made that because she can manipulate emotions, she herself is more susceptible to emotions. Like when a normal human shows frustration, Rainbow Girl becomes angry etc. And when RG feels strong emotions, she projects them onto others. This could make a good story arc about her trying to control her emotions to better use her power.

There's a DC villain with the same kind of powers as Rainbow Girl, the Psycho Pirate. He also gets the mood swing rebounds. Being able to make several super beings feel crappy and unmotivated to do anything is very effective, as well as making people get into furious homicidal rages unnable to distinguish friends from enemies - as long as you remember to stay off their way, of course.

Her own voice won't power her light abilities (which is why she had to have Sam Guthrie's brother sing to her to save her and Sam's girlfriend at one point in time), but the ambient sound at her concerts and monitor playback is how she provides the light show. The Beyonder even said there's no upper limit to what she can absorb and transmute. So, theoretically she's only limited by the amount of sound available, or that she has stored.
@VampX13

So then is the sound of her band muffled when she uses it to make lightshows? Is it completely reduced so she is singing more like acapella when the lights go off? I like to imagine that the band's music can still play but the volume is just reduced when she uses her powers. But if that is true, the amount of control Dazz has already just off the start is pretty wild. Though I agree, Alison is pretty OP when it comes to her power levels and what she can do with her abilities. :)

@@VampX13 That's never been consistent. The scene I'm describing with Sam Guthrie, his brother, Lila, and Dazzler show everyone being able to hear the singing. Because they determine it's Sam's brother's mutant gift (because it's so beautiful). But then in an X-Men book a few years before, there's a scene where they're on a beach about to head into a mission, and she goes to "power up". In doing so she renders the entire beach more than silent but sound free, and it terrifies the crowd. The other X-Men have to get her to stop because she isn't even aware of what she's doing. So, maybe both are true, and it depends on how much she takes in?

Soundwaves are energy, Dazzler absorbs them instead of reflecting them but everyone around her still hears all the soundwaves that aren't physically directed at her. The kinetic energy of the waves she absorbs is somehow (I'd love to hear a geneticist try to figure that out) emitted as solid light, kind of like Green Lanterns, holodecks and Cyclops eyebeams. Light is created when photons interact with ionized particles like in the plasma around the sun or in the Earth's ionosphere to give us the Northern Lights.

If Squirrel Girl is a VILLAIN she resembles real life FAKE FRIENDS which in my opinion WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE it’s going to be interesting if she disguises her looks differently in each episodes to get with the HEROES, the hero that will defeat her is a hero who can see through her disguise. She can make a hero’s fandom or circle of friends against the hero. Whoever the hero that will match with her, is a hero that will be later able to successfully make others see through her manipulative tactics.

Rainbow Girl has had three appearances and three different power sets. After the first a letters page mentioned powers more like DC's Halo, with green being a kryptonite ray (pretty useful for living in the DCU). In the LSH Who's Who entry they changed it to a pheromone field that made people find her somewhat more attractive. In the third Johns wrote her as getting powers from the emotional spectrum but taking on each color's signature emotion. Sort of, he never bothered to really define what she could do or to what degree. So she's never been completely useful, useless, manipulative or unstable. Whichever you chose she's a fun piece of background Legionlore.

She blows things up from a subatomic level, so she could have blown up the villain in that issue right? Or was she not there in the issue? *Checks Marvel Database* Well, Jubilee wasn't there. But do you know who was in the issue with explosive powers? Gambit! He can charge up stuff to detonate. He could have turned Riches into a bomb and got away. Why did Bailey need to sacrifice himself?

A lot of these guys have powers that would make better villains than heroes. I can see Matter Eater Lad, or someone with his powers as a great Super Villain; he's basically GLUTTONY incarnate. (Insert scene from Full Metal Alchemist.) Rainbow Girl has the powers of a Habbalite, a breed of Demon in the table top RPG In Nomine. Being able to FORCE someone to experience a given emotion is very powerful. It can make sure that the betrayed spouse isn't just upset, but homicidally so. The Demon probably caused the spouse to fall so deeply in lust that they betrayed the wedding vows in the first place. Mental control is no joke. The setting is kind of like Touched By An Angel in that angels & demons pretend to be human, in the spiritual realm they look like a Cenobite went wild in a tattoo parlor so if you see them in that form they wouldn't need to turn on their power to make a subject feel fear.
