Layla can see portions of possible futures; combined with manipulative interpersonal skills & her ability to think ahead, she arranges events to encourage the outcome she desires. She views herself as a pawn, but one that is aware of the game & the players, allowing her to pick her own moves. Chaotically or temporally charged individuals disrupt her predictive ability. She claims to know the source of her power, but insists revealing it would cause her immediate death. She sometimes registers to detectors as a mutant, other times as a normal human. While her body was in a trance, Layla was able to appear to Madrox, despite their being 80 years apart; how she managed this is unrevealed. Before M-Day she could breathe fire; during the House of M reality warp, she could telepathically restore buried memories.
