#22 – The Thieving Magpie
The Thieving Magpie or “Lady Magpie” is a very shady figure. A thief by day, a hero by night, this cleptomanic young lady believes to have no power of her own, but can copy the abilities of any person she steals from, as long as she holds on to the stolen item. It is Nevermind who discovers that this theory is totally absurd (since “possession” is not a physical law), and deduces that the beautiful Miyo Harada has the potential for near-omnipotence, and that her guilt-complex keeps her from realising this herself. Nevermind suspects that she actually is the most powerful superhuman on the planet, having possessed every power she “mimicks” all along, but unable to access them without a psychological trigger.
