Dr. Reyes + misc. (spoils)


Can create force fields of sorts and can maintain those fields even when she's knocked out cold. Her fields will collapse if she's dead though. My issue is, why is she working alone handling multiple mutants in her care when it clearly shows she can hardly handle more than 1-2? Is the Essex Corporation low on funds? She is also inept and unqualified give her powers like when she heard noises in the ventilation ducts and just stares at it after Rahne Sinclair opens it and growls at her before jumping on her. Her reaction time really sucks. AND WHY CAN'T SHE PUT A FORCE FIELD AROUND HERSELF? What a crap power.

Illyana Rasputin is a sorcerer. I've seen her dimension teleport around the building. Why can't she just teleport past the field and escape? They even said or rather she claimed to be the most powerful mutant in the building, even taking on the bear nightmare with her pet pal Lockheed.

Slenderman boogeymen weren't even scary at all and all they did was walk supremely slow and carry someone while making gnarly noises and showing serrated teeth. Even the final boss encounter was abysmal.

I agree that Reyes being the only agent from Essex Corporation at the facility felt... odd.

While her forcefield was essential for keeping the teenagers imprisoned on the hospital grounds, assigning just one person to monitor four powerful, psychologically disturbed mutants doesn’t make sense. Rhane, arguably the weakest, easily injured Reyes via ambush.

That and she was given ample time to defend herself after hearing her crawling though the vent duct for some time. XD
Instead she was dumbfounded that she was in feline form before getting pounced and scratched like no tomorrow.
