Powers and abilities

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.
  • Effigy animation: In a partially telekinetic manner, Mina has the ability to temporarily animate inanimate objects by leaving a psychic imprint on effigies, giving her a subconscious link with them. This results in the effigies being infused with dark matter on a molecular level, so that they do not have to be within Mina's 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 (i.e. having limbs and similar appendages).

Appearances

The Flash

Season 4

• "Luck Be a Lady" (flashbacks)
• "When Harry Met Harry..."

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.
  • Just like Rosa Dillon Mina is a genderbent version of John Ravenhair her DC male counterpart.
• Her name was originally reported to be "Mina Chayton" in the press.
