Bio:

William single-handedly raised his son George after his first wife's death. Eventually, he came to meet and fall in love with Eszter, whom he married. Eszter took to George as if he was her own child, something he claims made the transition easier.

One year later, Danika was born. George came to adore his little sister, something which followed into their later years. George even considering Danika his best friend.

Three years after this, Danika and George were joined by younger sister, Ilona.

After graduating from high school, Danika joined the military, where she attained the rank of sergeant and was scheduled for officer training. However, she began to lose sight of her goals and worked many hours while spending little time with her family.

Personality

"I don't have time to babysit some little kid, you'll just slow me down."

After the A-Day incident, Danika becomes determined, concentrated and independent. She is cold and standoffish, distancing herself from those around her.

Danika joined the Resistance hoping that they could help her find Ilona, despite this, she only looks out for herself and doesn't care if others are left behind. Much of her motivation is fuelled from what she perceives as failing to protect Ilona leading her to lash out at those she believes are responsible for her fate: namely, AIM and SHIELD.

As she unites with the Avengers, she becomes more emotionally open, even growing close with Kamala, acting as her mentor and maternal figure. She will begin to show compassion and trust others.

Powers, Abilities, & Weaknesses

After exposure to the Terrigen Mist, Danika becomes an extremely powerful inhuman (the only known Class 5 inhuman on AIM's databases). Even before the events of A-Day, Danika was a capable combatant. In addition to being adept in swordplay and marksmanship with her gunblade, she is skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

Powers

"I'm telekinetic. I can move things with my mind."

"Really? What kinds of things?"

"All kinds of things. I also have some telepathic ability." ― Danika and Kamala

"I'm assuming you saw what she did? How her power works? Anything we can do -- anything any of us can do -- she's already there. It's like -- someone made a voodoo doll for the whole inhuman race. That's what Dani is. She's us. All of us." - Inhuman about Danika's powers to Bruce

Power Mimicry: The limits of her power have yet to be reached or determined. She does not need to physically touch her subjects, nor does it appear as though her using an individual's powers subtracts at all from their own power level. It appears that Danika needs to be in close proximity to subjects to exhibit their powers but it's possible that her range is global as theorized by George.

It is also not determined if once acquired the abilities are permanent or if they fade with time or distance from subject, though Danika seems to have retained telekinesis and telepathy, whether these are her own powers or just powers she has borrowed is unknown.

Also it is unknown if this power mimicry is limited to inhumans or if it would work on enhanced humans such as Steve Rogers or Bruce Banner or even aliens such as Thor.

Because of her close proximity to the Resistance, Danika has access to a range of inhuman powers. Hank has made a list of powers she has 'borrowed' during her stay with them, these include:

- Energy Absorption and Concussive Blasts

- Organic Steel Transformation

- Cryokinesis/Thermokinesis

- Electrokinesis

- Geokinesis

- Regenerative Healing Factor

- Teleportation: from Theo

Undetectability: Danika is able to disguise herself against surveillance searches.

Telekinesis: Danika has the ability to move objects with her mind, ranging from doors to people, cars and even trains. George believes that Danika's powers have no limits and she could possibly be the most powerful inhuman out there. Her telekinetic abilities, when exerted to their full potential, are so acute that she can dismantle a gun piece by piece.

- Force-Field Projection: Danika can generate telekinetic shields or barriers to block, contain and impede targets. She usually wraps herself in a close body force field as extra protection in a fight.

- Molecular Manipulation: At a full extent of her power, she can manipulate matter at a molecular level at will.

- Disintegration: Danika is able to atomize nearly anything within her surroundings at will when at the full extent of her powers.

- Telekinetic Flight: Danika can fly using her telekinesis by levitating herself off the ground, this takes considerable concentration and energy at the moment as it is a relativity new discovery to her range.

-Binding: Danika can use her telekinesis to keep object/being from moving.

-Telekinetic Maneuver: Danika can use her telekinetics to alter an object's directional course, e.g. changing what number a dice lands on or deflect an opponent attack.

-Telekinetic Pull/Push: Danika can use her telekinetics to pull objects towards the user or to push objects away from the user, e.g. yanking a book off a shelf or sliding a cup across a table.

-Weapon Calling: Danika uses her telekinetic ability to call her weapon to hand if she drops it.

-Object Manipulation: Danika has used her telekinesis to alter an object's inner workings, notably unlocking a door or a window.

-Telekinetic Compression: Danika uses her telekinesis to crush beer and soda cans after use.

-Telekinetic Strength: With the use of her telekinesis, Danika is much stronger than her small frame appears, by applying her telekinetics to her movements she is able to lift and throw grown men around as if they weighed nothing, even going as far as being able to simply flick people away from her.

Telepathy: Danika has the ability to read, communicate with, and control other people's minds.

- Illusion Projection: Danika has the ability to project realistic illusions through telepathic means, able to simulate invisibility for herself and other people.
