She has blue fur covering her body, three fingers per hand, two toes per foot, and a retractable prehensile tail. Her fur also provides near-invisibility when in the shadows.<br/>    <br/>     <strong>Heightened Agility, Balance, Reflexes and Flexability:</strong> Her agility, balance, reflexes and flexibility are at superhuman levels. She can move in manners that surpass those of an Olympic level gymnast, and has a bone structure allowing great flexibility. She can remain in a crouched position for a long time and perform contortionist-type feats without causing any damage to her spine.<br/><br/>     <strong>Night Vision:</strong> She also possesses the superhuman ability to see into the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum allowing one to see the dark.  <br/><br/>     <strong>Telepathy:</strong> Nocturne possesses low-level ability to read mind and project thoughts, but it is only usable to any degree when enhanced by a Cerebro machine. <br/><br/>     <strong>Micro-suction Discs:</strong> Nocturne possesses the ability to cling to surfaces using the natural micro-suction discs on her hands and feet. <br/><br/>     <strong>Brimstone "Hex Bolts":</strong> Nocturne possesses the superhuman ability fire energy bolts, thanks to her parents, the Scarlet Witch and Nightcrawler. This ability allows TJ to release concussive bolts of explosive energy (called 'hex-bolts', named after the nickname for her mother's powers) by accessing the Brimstone Dimension through which her father teleports. Contrary to common misconception, TJ doesn't have the ability to alter probabilities with her 'hex bolts'. She can only use her 'hex bolts' as an energy attack.<br/><br/><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br/>       T.J. is a college graduate and former singer for the band known as the "Butt Monkeys". Any other training came from being raised at the X-Mansion...<br/><br/><strong>Background and History:</strong><br/>      Talia is the future mutant daughter of Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch. She was raised by her father with the X-Men while her mother remained part of the Avengers. Becoming an active member of the X-Men at only 17 years old she always tried to live up to her fathers expectations. Then at the age of 20 T.J. ended up being displaced in time before joining the Exiles so that her father could live.<br/> <br/>     One point the team ended up back in her time, but at a much earlier point of it where T.J. was able to meet the younger version of her father. The Exiles ended up leaving her behind in that time and Talia was about to go back to visit her father when she was intercepted by Exodus who made her another offer. A few months later, Nocturne showed up as a member of Exodus's Brotherhood in an attack on Philadelphia. While her teammates were mostly homicidal, Nocturne did her best to keep civilians out of harm's way. The X-Men defeated the Brotherhood, prompting Exodus to attack the X-Mansion, using Juggernaut as his ace in the hole. Juggernaut recognized T.J. as a hero and seemingly beat her to a pulp. In fact, T.J. told him she was trying to figure out Exodus's moves and Juggernaut told her he was undercover. When the fighting actually started, Nocturne was able to stop Black Tom Cassidy, the most dangerous foe, long enough for him to be swept into the black hole in Xorn II's head. Unfortunately, Nocturne was swept into the black hole too. <br/><br/>Nocturne and Juggernaut apparently ended up on Mojoworld, where they were sold to Mojo himself. Nocturne was able to fool Spiral and force her to open a portal to Earth, and they emerged in the Danger Room. After that she joined the new incarnation of Excalibur where she remained for the moment...<br/><br/><br/></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e1/Nocturne_and_Captain_Britain.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br/>     She has depression problems due to her past history and is very free-spirited - it's hard to keep her tied down to any one group or mission.<br/><br/><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br/>      Nocturne is a current member of Excalibur along with Captain Britain, Sage, Dazzler, Pete Wisdom and Juggernaut. She was away from the others practicing with the band when the attack happened. Try as she might T.J. was unable from saving the other members of the Butt Monkeys from being taken and the mutant she was fighting ended up making a teleport taking her along with. <br/><br/>With no clue where she is at the moment Talia hopes that her father is safe in all this devastation as she searches for him and her mother.</span></span></div>
