History
Life for Katie Layne, the middle child of the Layne family, started out rather uneasy. Her mother had a terribly hard birth of the young girl. Often times suffering from severe headaches, and what the doctor's perceived as involuntary muscles spasms. Mary often felt that she was not fully in control of her body, almost like she was possessed. This was however just the start of the torment their young daughter would bestow upon them. Once born the family would suffer from what was classified as migraine headaches anytime the infant girl would cry or seem unhappy. This was brought over into her young toddler life as well.
Things seemed to quiet down a bit through elementary and middle school. Katie was an exceptional student, getting straight A's throughout her young years. Some labeled her a genius within the school system and she had quickly become a popular girl in school. Her older brother did sports, and Katie was pushed along with him, though her love came in the form of books. Whereas most of the kids in school liked Katie, there were some that didn't. A prank that was played upon her went horribly wrong, causing Katie to lash out at the two boys that played it. One boy was placed into a coma for two months, and all that were present suffered from short term amnesia, forgetting everything that had happened in their lives for the past week.
This episode caused Katie to confide in her parents of what happened, as no one else remembered it taking place. Even the boy being in a coma was a mystery to all. At the young age of 13 her parents sent her away to a school for super powered youngsters, helping her to better control her powers. 3 years passed before Katie was allowed to go home. Her parents uprooting the family and moving them all to Paragon City RI, giving the young girl a new start. After missing 3 years of schooling, she doubled up on classes and is passing all the required courses with ease, to graduate with kids her own age.
Doing what she does best, talk on the phone
Realizing that she could use her powers for good, and often times watching the exploits of Captain Crosshairs, of who she is a big fan, Katie made a costume of her own. Choosing the colors of a soft green and yellow, to offset with her vibrant reddish/orange hair, she has taken to the streets as the heroine Psylah.
Recently she met with her heroing idol Captain Crosshairs, and even went so far as to going the All Star Teen Sentinels. This is an honor that makes her most proud, as she feels at home with other meta humans. She has met and befriended Zeiban and Omega Lass of the ASTS so far, looking up to both of them as well established Sentinels, and looks forward to meeting more of her teammates.

Katie is a blossoming Omega-level mutant. She has great control over her powerful Telepathy and Telekinesis. To use her powers on others, all she need is a clear line of sight to them. Linking to their mind can only be done when their mind's eyes are in view of one another. Normally hats and the like do not cause this ability to falter, but there have been at least one occasion where a helmet was designed to stop her powers and did.
Telepathy: can read minds and project her thoughts into other minds within a vast, potentially limitless radius. She has not always had access to her Telepathy due to mental blocks. Her notable powers include:
-Telepathic Cloak: Can mask her presence from being detected by others. Her abilities can at times go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities. She can extend these defenses to others around her as well.
-Psychic Shadow: ability to mask herself, and other peoples' presence from those around him. Can telepathically disguise himself, making her appearance that of a shadow.
-Mind Control: ability to control the minds of others upon mere concentration.
-Mind Possession: ability to possess the mind of another, and use that beings body as her own.
-Mind Alteration: ability to alter the minds of others by force of will, changing their personality partially or entirely.
-Psionic Shield: ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of herself and of others minds.
-Telepathic Illusions: ability to create illusions to make herself seem to be invisible, look like someone else, or make others experience events that are not truly happening.
-Mental Paralysis: ability to induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.
-Mental Amnesia: Can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia.
-Psionic Blasts: can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and turning someone brain-dead.
-Astral Projection: can project her astral form from her body onto astral planes or the physical planes. In the physical plane she can only travel in astral form over short distances. In the astral plane, she can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of her environment.
-Mind Transferal: able to transfer both her mind and powers into other host bodies should her own physical body be somehow killed.
-Mental Detection: can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small but as yet undefined radius of himself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
-Psionic being: Katie has the ability to turn into a being of pure psionic energy. The young woman is constanly absorbing psionic energy, and at times need to let some of it out. Either on her own accord, or sometimes when her emotions hit the high end of the spectrum and she looses control she transforms into her Psionic Force self. Usually extreme anger or happiness triggers this, but excitement can as well, as is what happened when she met Captain Crosshairs.
Pure Psionic entity
Telekinesis: Possesses telekinetic abilities enabling her to manipulate matter with the energy of her thoughts, create force fields and fire concussive psionic force blasts. By using her telekinesis to levitate herself, Psylah can fly at incredible speeds. She can sustain shields that can withstand Jovian atmospheric pressures, and even repel nuclear weapon attacks.
In her newer suit
Abilities
Katie Layne has trained with an as of yet unknown hero in hand-to-hand combat. Though she prefers to fight with her mind, she is adept at taking care of herself in close quarters.
Strength level
Normal human female with intensive regular exercise. When in Psionic Force form, Katie's powers are 10 times stronger than normal, and she is intangible to the touch, making it so nothing can harm her physically.
Weaknesses
As of this writing only robots and other mechanical things have been able to withstand her abilities. Though she shows a small ability to alter robot programming using her powers, it is no where near to the level as with living beings.
Notes
-Katie never goes far without her cookies. She always has a small bag filled with chocolate/peanut butter cookies and is often seen munching on them.
-She may be a great telepath, and incredibly book smart, but she tends to be a bit naive.
