By extending her hand at the target, the Pilgrim could reverse the flow of time around and energy attacks, launching it back at the attack, though it seemed to take a short period to complete the process and likewise proved more difficult against multiple targets at once. She could also freeze the motion of her opponents. Smaller targets like bullets required no usage of her hands to repel. With direct contact on her target, she could repel them, simulating inhuman strength. Even if not able to repel the attack, her powers could minimize the damage, as she was sent flying by the A.T.O.M. exosuit's energy blasts, only to remain unharmed.
