Character biography[]
Pansy Potter was seen to possess an apparently superhuman level of strength. Her handshake was capable of crushing the hand of a grown man. She was able to lift and toy with tremendous weights and to burst her way out of chains. A friendly pat on the back from her could send a man flying into a wall.
