More information will doubtlessly be revealed about the Femme Fatales and their powers as time and plots move along. For more information on Whiplash and Bloodlust, see Marvel Comics Presents #49.
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES: In their battle against the Web-slinger, the Femme Fatales showed sound tactics. Bloodlust and Whiplash kept Spidey off guard and didn’t allow him to take the offensive. Meanwhile, Knockout and Mindblast prepared to administer the coup de grace. They also took advantage of the situation, using the ambassador’s arrival to cover up their true motive attacking Spider-Man. Mindblast even attempted to roast Spidey by telekinetically holding him above the ambassador’s plane, which was leaking fuel, while Knockout tossed a lit cigarette lighter into the pools of fuel.
In your campaign, the Femme Fatales should use similar techniques to beat your heroes. They work together very well and pair up to take on foes they outnumber (Bloodlust with Whiplash and Knockout with Mindblast are suggested pairings). If your heroes mess up or underestimate these ladies, be sure that the Femme Fatales make them pay the price. These villains use their brains, not just their brawn.
The Femme Fatales might appear in your campaign as hired muscle on any of a number of missions. Perhaps the local Maggia boss has someone, probably your heroes, that he wants taken out of the picture. Maybe a mastermind villain is looking for some super-powered muscle to protect him or to help him wipe out those pesky heroes who keep cropping up at all the worst times. Or maybe the Femme Fatales just arrived in your heroes’ town and want to show everyone just what they can do. And what better way than by trashing the local heroes?

POWERS: Mindblast’s lone power is Telekinesis. Her rank for this power is IN, but she has not (as of this writing) used it to directly attack a foe. It is probable that she has not yet developed that Power Stunt. She does possess the following Power Stunts:
Flight for herself only at TY airspeed
A coruscating energy shield that surrounds her body and provides her with
GD (10) protection from physical and energy attacks.
TALENTS: Mindblast has displayed no particular talents.
