History
THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER YOU HIT THEM!
- -- by Cassandra Cain when training Cassandra McGinnis
Cassandra Alura-El McGinnis was born in Wilmington General Hospital born on 9/23/2041 12:00a.m. is a ( Libra). Her father and mother are Terry McGinnis and Kara McGinnis also as a twin brother Casey Warren Wayne McGinnis and an adopted little sister Ariella McGinnis who is really her biological cousin from the 853rd century. In the year 2057 she is the new Batgirl and a member of Young Justice Beyond.
Other History
Cassandra went undercover has a female Talon code named: Kasumi while back in time, her mission was to stop the Court Of Owls from creating and controlling army of sleeper Talon kids all over the world's major cities starting with Gotham city. For this mission, she received assassin training from Cassandra Cain, her aunt. Her father in this time had taken out a female Talon and place her sleeping body in a secret base in under north pole. Cassandra received the suit, along with a special belt.
See: Secret Origin
Personality
To say that Cassandra is an unpredictable teenager would be understated. Although everything in her background points to cheerleader or kick-boxer to bookworm. Compassion and a sense of right flows through her veins, and though she gets in fights over Kryptonian personal pride, she gets into just as many to protect those who cannot protect themselves. She doesn't even really think about it, it's instinctive, as natural to her as breathing.
Cassandra is open-minded, assertive, outspoken, stubborn, has a strong sense of responsibility and duty, and is interested in understanding and helping people. Like her mother. Cassandra's Kryptonian pride is a key motivator in a lot of things, solely because it is the root of her determination, also a natural born fighter. Sure, her pride makes her more likely to get into fights if someone spits on her face or talks badly about her family, but over all, it is Cass's outright stubbornness that gets her into the most trouble. Cass isn't the type to concede, she isn't the type to back off - she will fight for what she believes in, either verbally or physically.
If you try to take her down, she will get up and come back for more, even when the odds are weighed against her. This applies to actual fights as well, Cass is likely to keep coming back, time after time, determined to find some means of victory, though she is usually intelligent enough to eventually adjust her approach. She been known to adapt while fighting reading the fighting patterns and changing to counter. (Example: She can fight Doomsday to a stand still with either side gaining and edge.)
Tying into her pride and her stubbornness is her general tendency to spite others sometimes, when people tell her not to do something, she will, just to stick it to them. Or to prove that she can. Other times, when she's done something wrong, unlike her father at this age will rectify her mistake.This pride also means that she is unbending about juggling her social life with her vigilante life. So far it's been working. (Example party girl). Fiercely independent but also works well with other.
Cass is contented when alone most of the time. But even as a girl who thrives in isolation, still yearns for social contact. Her open-minded nature makes it easier for her to immediately befriend everyone she meets. This isn't to say that Cass is too trusting, she isn't going to wear her heart on her sleeve and make best friends with every schmuck she meets. Other than that she very socially outgoing. She's quite happy with the friends she has. If a person doesn't set off her instincts, and manages to wriggle into the lives of the few people she calls friends, then she will adjust to them.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
A mix of metahuman/Kryptonian heritage has given Cass vast powers for her young age, including superhuman strength and speed, flight, telekinesis, teleportation, X-ray vision, heat vision and invulnerability. In addition, Cass's DNA has been adapted be immune to Kryptonite radiation unlike other Kryptonians. She can absorb Kryptonite radiation and any energy and utilize it has an energy source, Telepathy, Teleportation, Energy Construct Creation and Persuasion.
- Unique Physiology: Though a Kryptonian, Cassandra lacks the vulnerability to Kryptonite given to others of her race.
- Kryptonite Immunity: Cassandra's DNA has been adapted be immune to Kryptonite radiation unlike other Kryptonians. She can absorb Kryptonite radiation and utilize it has an energy source. see Drax, Superman x, Robin Beyond
- Lead: Unlike full blooded Kryptonians Batgirl Beyond can see through lead with her vision powers. See: Robin Beyond , Drax, Brainiac.
- Telekinesis: Not as powerful has her twin's.
- Telepathy: They can mind talk to other Kryptonians. Harder with aliens who are non telepathy.
- Twin link: Cassandra and Casey can talk to each other using their minds and locate each other anywhere on the planet.
- Persuasion: works on only on minds who don't have high intelligence or super intelligence can be resistant to it.
- Teleportation: Like her brother, she is able to cross distances. The exact distance she can teleport remains unknown, but her ability to teleport grows with her age. She is able to bring people and objects with her when she is teleporting as long as she is touching them and she wanted to bring them with her. Her teleporting powers apparently also enabled her to change positions while in transit.
- Energy Construct Creation: Cassandra can also generate simple geometric constructs from her hands such as batarangs, shields and energy blades. (Examples: See Superman-X) (Note: Robin Beyond doesn't have this ability.)
- Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Batgirl Beyond possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:
- Solar Energy Absorption: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Batgirl Beyond's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Her biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
- Heat Vision: Batgirl Beyond can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat and area affected.
- Super-Hearing: Batgirl Beyond' hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
- Enhanced Vision Batgirl Beyond's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.
This umbrella ability includes the following:- Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision: Batgirl Beyond can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living thing.
- Telescopic Vision: This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
- X-Ray Vision: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. Batgirl Beyond's can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. this ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
- Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
- Infrared Vision: Batgirl Beyond's can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
- Flight: Batgirl Beyond is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
- Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of her dense molecular structure and supercharged electromagnetic field, Batgirl Beyond is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, her extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
- Superhuman Stamina: Batgirl Beyond is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
- Superhuman Strength: Batgirl Beyond's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her electromagnetic field allows her to lift objects without them crumbling under their own weight.
- Superhuman Speed: Batgirl Beyond is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time.
This also confers: - Super-Breath: Batgirl Beyond is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
