* UnskilledButStrong: Taylor isn't a trained fighter, but is stong enough to go toe to toe with Glory Girl, Lung, and [[spoiler:''Alexandria'']], and even ''win''. It's telling that Hookwolf, who was a skilled fighter even before he became a high-end Brute/Changer, chose to run rather than fight Taylor.
* UnstoppableRage: To Taylor's detriment, for most of the story. As the story progresses, she gets better, first when Hookwolf [[spoiler:flees rather than fight her and Taylor doesn't pursue]], and then again when [[spoiler:Alexandria threatens to go after the Undersiders if Taylor tries to run from their fight.]] With the latter, Taylor embraces her rage and curbs it at exactly the right moment.

Taylor Hebert triggered with the ability to spontaneously dissolve her own body in explosive rematerialization. As in canon, she attempts to restrain herself from lashing out in vengeance against her tormentors.

But, she has anger issues.... so what? She is perfectly in control of herself and her powers.

Perfectly-
