Name: Tessie Marie
Super Name: Giant-Tessie
Age: 24
Gender: female
Role: Left Hand villain
Birth Origin: United States
Appearance:
Super Ability: can increase her size and strength at will. The tallest she can grow to is 500 feet tall. When she has grown, Tessie is invulnerable to all
conventional attacks. Bombs and bullets tickle her at best, and annoy her at worst. Actually, though, 500 feet is her real height. Her ability is mainly to keep herself down to her normal height of 5' tall. By relaxing her control, she can appear to grow. When she's at normal size, she's vulnerable to normal attacks. The bigger she gets, though the harder it is to hurt her short of nuking her. However, at any height, she is vulnerable to mind control, certain magical attacks (fireballs, lightening, blasts of energy). It is impossible to take away her powers (that would leave her permanently stuck at 500 feet, though she can be forced to maintain her powers to keep herself small), but an opponent could absorb some of her power and grow to 500 feet tall as well and fight her as an equal. Her main weakness is her size: although she's big and strong, she has a hard time seeing small quick things; and cannot manuvour in tight quarters very well.
Cause of Super-Ness: Encountered a meteorite when she was 16 years old while out hiking. Took it home, thinking it was a geode, and broke it open. Inside was a glowing blue crystal. It bathed her in pure energy. When she'd absorbed it, she found she was 500 feet tall. After going on her first rampage, she discovered she could return to normal size, and blend in with the population.
