Powers and abilities

Firebird possesses a power referred to as "psychokinetic fire", fiery green psionic energy that often manifests around her in the shape of a bird. She can use her ability to fly and fire blasts of green flame. In JLX #1 she psychokinetically fuses the componets of a badly damaged submarine without manifesting any green flames, which suggest she has telekinetic powers as well.
