Trying to map out likely abilities using some predetermined facets of powers the show's given us. Definitely a work-in-progress (and ugly tables).

Any abilities labeled "(user's name)'s ability" will be given a name for easier classification. I am not suggesting those should necessarily be their names, but it makes it way easier to try and place somewhere if the name helps imply boundaries.

Classification in process:

Physical abilities

Biological abilities

General abilities

• Adoptive muscle memory

Classification: Biological Mimicry

Exhibited by Monica Dawson of New Orleans, LA

Adoptive muscle memory is the ability to replicate any physical action the user witnesses.

• Appearance alteration

Classification: Biological Alteration

Formerly exhibited by Connie Logan of New York City, NY

Appearance alteration is the ability to alter the physical appearance of another person.

Note: This ability is very similar to illusion. Appearance alteration affects the physical body, while illusion affects perception.

• Constriction

Classification: Biological Reduction

Formerly exhibited by Company Agent Codename: "The Constrictor"

Constriction is the ability to mimic the actions of a constrictor snake, including physical restraint through tight squeezing and numbing through touch.
