X-23 has a built in trigger that sends her into berzerker rage as soon as she picks up the specific scent. She started her conditioning early, when she was 8 years old.
Once in Berzerker Rage X-23 has absolutely no control over her actions and attacks anyone in her path placing the entire mansion at risk. As usual Emma Frost was right.
The trigger itself was only ever used in extreme circumstances. The Kingpin once hired Weapon X to take out a person called Dilorenzo. Who happened to have the power of invisibility. A unique criminal in the sense that he could walk right through Kingpins security and not be detected.
As usual Dilorenzo was outsmarted. X-23 posing as the Kingpins kidnapped niece ripped Dilorenzo and his men to pieces, his invisibility was of no help due to X-23's heightened senses.
During the House of M the New X-Men were training to be fully fledged Shield operatives.
Here are a few feats from the Crossover:
Hellion TK shields block a gun shot from a japanese "terrorist". Mercury uses her body to create a wall between an explosion and her fellow New Mutants. Dust attacks a bomber with a sand cloud and Surge demontrates some super speed.
Hellion TK blasts a group of enemies and contains them in a TK Bubble. Surge fires a Lightning Blast she also manages to take out Ford via an Electric shock. Elixir is taken out by physical means.
Mercury is able to morph her body into various shapes including blades that can hold their own against Donald Pierce's blades. Dust contains an enemy in a Sandstorm while Surge demonstrates more super speed. Hellion now effected by Wallflowers phermones attacks Surge with a powerful TK Blast. Dust who's also effected keeps Synch from concentrating via a Sandstorm. And another speed feat by Surge.
Hellions TK Shields hold against Surges Electric Attack. He also blasts Prodigy off a cliff and once Wallflowers phermones wear off he quickly saves him via a TK bubble. Dust traps Jubilee in a sandstorm. Surge electrifies Illyana via her own sword. Surge and Hellion cause more havoc.
Using Nimrods database Stryker was able to perceive events in the future and alter events them by effecting events in the past. Upon gazing he discovered that Dust may pose a problem to his "flawless" plan. Here Dust rips off the flesh of a few of Strykers men. She strips them right to their bones.
Mercury is just that, living but inorganic mercury - making her immune to things like Wither's death touch and needing to eat and drink. She's incredibly malleable while at the same time having a great deal of tensile strength and durability, she also has very good speed and dexterity in her liquid form.
1) Shields Sooraya and Noriko from fires and a Sentinel blast. 2) Disarms some policemen. (please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)
Here she weaves her way through a laser net to retrieve a briefcase, wraps an enemy up with her body and opens said briefcase by shaping herself to fit the lock. (please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)
She has a flashback of discovering her powers, as she's being tortured. It should be noted that even though she's often described as having a "weakness" to electricity, she's still actually a lot more resistant to its effects than any ordinary human and on several occasions has taking electrical shocks sufficient to kill people.
