Mina Chaytan

Mina Chaytan, self-nicknamed Black Bison, is a meta-human with the power to animate objects, and a former professor who was fired after a violent protest.

Powers

 * Meta-human physiology: After Mina was struck by the dark matter energy from the Flash being released from the Speed Force, this altered her DNA and cells, enabling her to access her newfound powers.
 * Object animation: Mina has the ability to temporarily animate inanimate objects by leaving a psychic imprint on objects, giving her a subconscious link with them. This results in the objects being infused with dark matter on a molecular level, and they do not have to be within her proximity or line of sight in order to literally enliven them.

Weaknesses

 * Particular shape: Despite the versatility and fine-tuned control manipulation, Mina's, her powers are limited to only being able to animate targets that are shaped with features that would allow self-mobility.

Behind the scenes

 * In the DC comics, there were two supervillains who went by the name, Black Bison. While both of them were male, they were also Native American and also shared a motivation very similar to Mina's in the TV series.
