Powers and Abilities
Tabitha Smith is a mutant who originally had the unusually strong ability to create variably-sized yellow orbs and spheres of pure plasma, fiery-like energy, which she calls her "time bombs." These "time bombs" explode with concussive force. She can produce marble-sized energized "bombs" which have little concussive impact and which she uses for playing pranks. She has produced "time bombs" ranging up to the size of beach balls, which have been shown to detonate with sufficient force to destroy highly durable objects including a Predator X, and a futuristic Nimrod. Tabitha can control the amount of time between the creation of one of her "bombs" and the time it detonates. She can mentally muffle the sound of the detonation.
She is a fair hand-to-hand combatant, coached in unarmed combat by Cable. She is an excellent player of video games. She is an accomplished thief, trained by the Vanisher.
Under the direction of Pete Wisdom she learned to focus her power as streams of concussive force.
In Nextwave, her mutant abilities are summarized as "the mutant ability to blow things up and steal all your stuff." She also has access to technological support, such as jetpacks. She was apparently immune to Forbush Man's mind-warping abilities, because she supposedly had no mind to warp.

“Everyone confesses in the abstract that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us all; but practically most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“It contributes greatly towards a man’s moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate.”
