Powers

Listed as a Controller in Paragon's registry, with Illusion Control and Storm Summoning abilities, Flight, and Speed Pools

Flight - this is clearly an extension of her storm abilities, she's easily able to lift herself and fly at a good speed with exceptional agility; she is also able to lift others with this, depending on their distance from her; when merely 'hovering' she is considerably more able to fend off ranged attacks

Speed - with little jolts of energy from lightning and weather, it's no wonder she can pummel enemies with her fists quickly, or accelerate her attack chain; this does wear her out so she doesn't use it frequently; she also has a separate 'Whirlwind' power which acts like Hurricane but without the chilly visible effects

Illusion Control - her illusions are technically speaking 'lightning' based, as she is able to manipulate tiny interactions between particles in the air, causing brief glimmering lights to appear in shapes that she can control
- Blind (a ranged area of effect that temporarily incapacitates enemies)
- Spectral Wounds (causing the victim to be temporarily blasted by small electrical bursts)
- Deceive (confuses an enemy into attacking their allies)
- Flash (a very strong explosive burst that temporarily disorients and hampers enemies)
- Invisibility (disguises the air around her to look like the surroundings)
- Phantom Army (detailed images of 'more of her' that she uses to distract and attack separately)
- Spectral Terror (a little mini-storm front! causes fear and scatters enemies)
- Phantasm (condenses storm-like energies into a humanoid form which produces outright lightning and electrical damage)

Storm Summoning - exactly as it seems, bringing a little bit of weather to Beautiful This Area! Note that while she can create brief very cold areas, she cannot control ice or water outright, just the actions of the existing molecules in the air; she can drop the temperature to cause a puddle to freeze, but that effect is very temporary and not nearly as effective as anyone who can control water or ice directly
- Gale (causes little damage but can knock back a group of enemies at close range)
- Oxygen Boost (allows healing and resistance to effects such as sleep or disorientation, in allies only, and sharpens their perception thanks to an increase in oxygen in their blood)
- Snow Storm (causes an area to be filled with heavy and cold air, reducing enemy speed and causing fliers to drop)
- Steamy Mist (adding to stealth for a nearby area of effect, and causing allies to be bolstered against elemental damage)
- Freezing Rain (bringing hail down on a nearby area, slowing enemies and pelting them with small impacts)
- Hurricane (centered on herself, a small - melee range - 'hurricane' forms and causes enemies to be knocked down or pushed away)
- Thunder Clap (a great noise in a narrow area around her, causing enemies to become very disoriented)
- Tornado (an area of effect that pushes enemies around and buffets them, also causes disorientation with visuals)
- Lightning Storm (a very strong energy storm front close to enemies, which causes fear, reduces their energy level, and electrically discharges)

Clusters

Heroics +5 She is an experienced crime fighter, well versed in the ways of rooting out criminals, detective work, fighting actual crime, and finally... paperwork...

Meteorolgy +3 Though she was only an assistant when the accident that caused her powers to show up occurred, she's since gotten several degrees in weather based and atmospheric research!

Skills

School Is Life +5 An academic like herself will always be more comfortable in a research setting than actively fighting, but she does both with ease, she knows the ins and outs of basically 'how to do school stuff' and as such is often consulted by both students and staff for inspiration or clarification; Summer is a very good instructor provided she's either in her own class or element, or has time to prepare if she's substituting in someone's classroom

Weather-Based Activities +4 Do you need a slip and slide? What about a gentle rain to moisten dry planting soil? How about a refreshing cool mist on a hot summer day? She's got it, no worries. She also knows how to avoid making the hot dog buns soggy, and can redirect lightning so it doesn't hit your star water polo team...

According to her Paragon City profile:

Once a mere research assistant at a university, Summer was working on a project labeled "Stormfront Alpha" that was designed to propogate certain weather patterns in drought-worn areas. One day a test went awry, and Summer along with several others were struck with a tremendous lightning bolt. This left several of them blinded, and Summer in a coma.

While recovering from the experience in a nearby hospital the nurses began to notice 'something odd' about the young woman. Along with her newly born ability to cause an illusion in the area in her room, there was always a storm on the horizon wherever she was moved. Brought from one test facility to the next, Summer's powers have improved so that now she is confident enough to show off at Paragon City.

And currently in Carramba:

Summer has opted to help young and inexperienced heroes in training, to learn to master their flight and weather abilities. There are a lot of ways to do damage with weather, and she wants to avoid having any kind of disasters such as happened with Stormfront Alpha. She glares right at that Zekiran man who she's heard has done a lot of damage to the area where he pushes storms around... Since they're on the coast, a lot of her classes wind up being taught over the ocean to avoid any damage done to the surrounding city, but sometimes they do have to work closely on shore or in the mountains for practice.

Other Info:

  Ice Elementals are relatively small, and will rarely exceed 6 feet at the shoulder.
Spots and stripes are both possible but very rare
They prefer purely wintery climates, though will settle for a temperate one. Rarely if ever found in a tropical climate, there are very few recorded cases of one being found in the desert. With some adaption they could live in a desert area with a proper cooled living quarter to return to.
Temperament: Very shy and quiet, they are playful and elusive creatures and it takes some time to gain their trust. They are friendly to other Ice Elementals are a very loyal type.
Diet: They are omnivores, though oddly enough, they can live purely off of snowflakes.
Pack: You will rarely find an Elemental wandering alone, they are a herd type, preferring the safety and community of other Elementals or similarly tempermented creatures.
Intelligence: Average to above average in intelligence
In the wild they will breed once every year, bearing no more than 5 offspring with the right conditions. Their offspring are live-born.
Features: long long legs having floof only on hind, pawed, very high body, horse-like snout on slender neck with massive mane, two thin back pointing horns, thin lion-like tail, ice shard wings disconnected and floating
(can fly, doesn't need flapping they're magic)
Natural Abilities: Elemental Abilities based on color - When it comes to elemental abilities, a red elemental will have fire-related powers, blue elementals will have water-related, green will be earth-related, and so on
