Sage goes up against these opponents how far does the cyberpath get. She has data on all of them, is revived after each battle and gets two hours prep before each.
Gender: Male Location: SF Bay, What is it Beezies?
She has limited telepathy and her brain processes thought like a computer. Sage = awesome at multi-tasking. She is able to retain an extreme amount of information and has a photogenic memory. Apparently, she can also jump start latent mutant abilities.
Sage is a well-trained martial artist and can be very lethal if she wanted to.
Sage, or Tessa, originally had no explict super-powers. It wouldn't be for nearly 200 issues after her first appearance that she was even specifically stated to be a mutant. Since then, she has demonstrated a number of different powers.
Tessa is a living computer with an enormous capacity for absorbing, storing, and retrieving information. She has a photographic memory, kinetic memory, and total recall -- she perfectly remembers everything she has ever seen or heard, and can exactly duplicate any physical movement or action she has seen done before (within the physical limits of her human body). Tessa can analyze body language in order to predict what an opponent's next move will be, allowing her to anticipate and counter attacks in combat almost instinctively. Her computer-like mind enables her to analyze situations and conceive of highly elaborate and efficient battle plans and strategies.
Tessa's capacity for analysis extends to the genetic level -- she is capable of visually probing living beings and determining what if any genetically-enhanced attributes they possess. She can not only detect mutants and latent mutants, her analyses also enable her to determine the mutant's full range of potential and possible capabilities. Using her jumpstart power, Sage is capable of activating any potential capability in a mutant's genes -- she can temporarily increase power levels, boost a mutant's control and finesse with their powers, and even cause latent mutants' abilities to permanently rise to the surface.
Sage was also a telepath, possessing the full range of standard TP abilities. She could read the minds of people in her vicinity, and arrange communication between herself and other people psionically. Tessa could create illusions to disguise or alter the environment, take full mental control over another person's thoughts and actions, and project her astral form in order to explore the psychic plane. After encountering the dangerous mutant telepath known as Elias Bogan, however, Tessa was "marked" by him and in order to escape his psychic touch she caused her telepathic powers to fold in on themselves. This effectively disabled any active telepathy by her, but it had the bonus of rendering her phenomenally resistant to psychic detection and probing. Sage's mind now emits a reflective effect that turns other psychic's abilities against them if they try to attack her. Thus, a psychic blast will mirror off of Tessa's mind and strike her attacker, or an attempt at mind control will end up allowing Tessa to control her opponent's mind instead
In other words Sage rules.
An oversight on my part is that I put X-Men on the list and Sage knows the Xavier Protocols, so she'd most likely defeat them.
Sag would go VERY far. She reminds me of General Grievous; a computer's processing capability, plus the ability to think creatively. Hyper-kinetic reflexes, well-developed fighting skills, able to learn and adapt VERY quick AND psychic defence- a very powerful combination.
I reckon that she might get to Spiderwoman but will probably be having her butt handed to her. Im assuming your on about the Jessica Drew Spiderwoman from new avengers?
I would give my opinion, but I have to admit I've only read a handful of issues with Sage, and I've never seen her take on anything other then stock heavies. So I couldn't begin to guess at her ability.
