Powers and Abilities

Mindscan has exhibited a range of mental powers. These enabled her to:

  • Read the minds of others at great distances (while they’re still in orbit).
  • Exert a level of control over others.
  • Sense life.
  • Scramble computers with a blast of psychic energy.
  • Use her powers via any of her team mates she’s in psychic contact with.

History

See Rancor’s profile for an history.

Rancor and her lieutenants - groups shot from TSR's gamer guide to the marvel universe

During the fight near Haven II, Mindscan was pitted against Yondu. She used her mental powers to attack his faith, ’revealing‘ to him that his god, Anthos, was actually a disguised Thanos. The distraught Yondu lashed out, knocking Mindscan unconscious.

Personality

Stuffy and aloof, Mindscan dislikes the wanton sadism of some of her team mates, but loyally serves Rancor. She appears to be closest to Sidestep, the least brutal of Rancor’s Lieutenants.

She’s sensitive about her unusually extended cranium; Therefore, she insists on keeping it hidden under a large wig.
