Powers

Her invulnerability may stem from alteration of her physical density. Since she can render at least her fingers, and possibly other parts of her body, intangible; however this latter ability appears severely limited, inasmuch as she can be immobilized by handcuff.

She is an accomplished athlete and hand-to-hand combatant.

Kimura is proficient in the use of many weapons, most notably the crossbow.

Significant Issues
Official Handbook Bibliography

The daughter of an abusive, alcoholic father and a negligent mother, she was abused both at home and at school. The only person that was ever kind to her was her grandmother, who doted upon her. However, Kimura's mind by this point consisted of nothing but emotional scar tissue and was not changed. Eventually, she found her way to the Facility, where they enhanced her genetic code to give her impenetrable skin and enhanced strength. With her new powers, she tracked down anyone who had abused her in the past killed them. She was given the job of being X-23's handler.
