overcomes magneto's control of metal to free mystique:

cool little feat. also shows her ability to create uber tech. mystique and wolverine met at a random site/cheap motel to talk about some weird things that had been happening. they bring up spiral....

oh yeah, she can.... smile

manhandles firestar:

as many of the scans have shown, spiral need not 'dance' as many think, to cast her spells. simple hand motions are all she needs for even some of her powerful spells. but she CAN dance and use her magic. here she turns firestar's power back against her:

the dragons were a group of powerful wizards who came to spiral for help. they threatened her and she let them think she did their bidding.... shows how she can easily combine her tech with her magic.

easily handles betsy in h2h:

a much older transmutation feat. she casts a spell and odd things start to happen to the x-men....

http://imageshack.us/f/452/colossus1fr8.jpg/

the point of her powdery magic?

here, already transmuted storm is FURTHER transmuted with a wave of spiral's hand...

note too--at the end she plans on simply removing storm's spine:

arize is the one who created spiral for mojo. here spiral goes after him, not pleased with what he made of her. also note the different styles of swords here, as opposed to past scenes. she has many swords, and they vary greatly at times from appearance to appearance.

manhandles kurt in a swordfight in a couple panels:

not even canonball's shield can protect him from spiral....

just to put to rest the idea that spiral has no tp skills. she locates, hits and briefly ko's karma from within the Body Shop. does that make this a display of inter-dimensional tp? a bit unclear. however, a case could be made for it for sure given the nature and usual location of the Body Shop. anyway, when karma wakes up, she has knowledge spiral needed her to have. spiral wasn't out to harm her--just give her info:

quickness and ability to teleport instantly:

ability to phase interdimensionally--and note how quickly she can cast the spell:

hits cap with a nifty little spell...

http://imageshack.us/f/127/freezevm6.jpg/

spiral is immune to possession, but this is an odd occurence. rogue tries to possess spiral. the result is spiral is in charge, with some odd modifications to rogue's body....

http://imageshack.us/f/87/possession1ct0.jpg/

http://imageshack.us/f/87/possession2ul7.jpg/

here again it is shown that spiral cannot be possessed. read what nocturne says about the affects of her possession ability:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/theuncannyxmen46031.jpg/

however, what she THOUGHT happened, was rather different from what REALLY happened...

love spiral... immune to dazzler's powers:

http://imageshack.us/f/460/dazzler1kp6.jpg/

combat teleportation vs rogue. also shows how strong her cybernetic arm is....

http://imageshack.us/f/73/teleport3rk1.jpg/

very impressive speed feat--not only does she sense his approach at superspeed, but teleports herself to the exact right place to trip him.... she's got some odd powers, very hard to quantify at times. note the dialogue--she appears from ELSEWHEN in the second scan. note the respect for spiral's power in mystique's voice. in an earlier scan with logan, we know she is actually afraid of spiral's power.

shameless plugs for a character i used in a tourney--and lost with..... a combination of indigo/b8/dhII and spiral:

major ability--she can depower pretty well..... ANYONE. note she depowered the entire combined rosters of east and west coast avengers--powers AND weapons. everyone from ironman's armor, to wonderman's ionic energy to hercules's powers. in order to be sure she doesn't just walk in a depower everyone off the bat, there is a stipulation that the person must be standing still to be depowered. weird, but, meh, be a pretty potent ability if it weren't limited in some way. she even depowered magneto in a different issue. hope i have that scan....

one shots immortal hercules who was a BEAST in those avengers issues....

ko's ironman with a spell and withstands a blow from wonderman (she was fine after the attack...):

negates cap marvel's powers (monica rambeau, who possesses enough power that at one time she was able to harm zeus himself). here spiral effortless blocks her attacks before negating her abilities while in mid-battle:

http://imageshack.us/f/356/spiral1wt9.jpg/

here she brutally handles dazzler using destiny's mask. destiny and spiral have always been at odds. the reasons are still a mystery as far as i know.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/705/dazzler39.jpg/

here spiral is tricking rachel into the body shoppe. she wanted to get rachel to mojo for some scheme or reality show mojo was trying to put together.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/718/rachel17e.jpg/

kinda cool--when considering a new sorcerer supreme, her skills were enough to draw the attention of the eye of agomotto--(she's at the bottom-middle of the images):

no real feat, just mention of the Body Shop. it's her pan-dimensional lab, where all her tech is designed. it seems it changes loacations. here it's situated in the wildways, a weird, magical dimension that spiral can enter and which is outside mojo's influence. but the body shoppe can appear elsewhere as well--like on earth. or at least it can accessed on earth. like spiral herself, the body shoppe is hard to figure exactly. it is also a tesseract--a large space hidden within a small space. crazy, like spiral.

http://imageshack.us/f/838/spiral14.jpg/

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/484/bodyshoppecio6.jpg/

and what does she DO in the Body Shop? well, create things like lady deathstrike for one....

http://imageshack.us/f/187/ladydeathstrikeys2.jpg/
http://imageshack.us/f/408/bodyshoppeafu4.jpg/

more from the Body Shop:

http://imageshack.us/f/237/bodyshoppeoo3.jpg/

she also created and grew these 2:

http://imageshack.us/f/62/bodyshoppe2kp7.jpg/

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/62/bodyshoppe3xh3.jpg/

spiral not only created lady deathstrike....

http://imageshack.us/f/237/bodyshoppe2oc9.jpg/

the body shoppe was also the place where spiral granted betsy her bionic eyes. these eyes were like cameras and they let mojo see through them to create a type of reality show through betsy's eyes. maybe i'll grab the scan later or someone else may have it readily available.

Nice job Leonidas! This woman was always extremely dangerous and it's about time people realized it and respected her.

Igniz
thumb up Nicely done! Spiral is one bad ass motha ******.And I like her transition into video games(X-men:Children Of The Atom,Marvel Vs Capcom 2).

Techno Swords!!!!

Wow, didn't expect you to make it in such a short time. Good job, I have to admit she's pretty uber.

She got a drop on Colossus (human form) and Kurt iirc in the Sisterhood arc and put them both down.

Isn't that the one Scoob won with Bigfoot? Did you lose to him or Blair in that tourney (I think they made the finals)? I remember rooting for you because it was Minion's debut and all. Shame, it was a cool amalgam.
