This perhaps is what led to her having the power to animating effigies into serving her. She's also seen as looking out for her best interest such as immediately after learning one of her escapee allies was the Flash and opt to kill him presumably so he wouldn't get in her way again despite him genuinely helping her from a fate he claimed that was worse than death. At some point prior to her becoming a meta-human, Mina worked at Central City University as a professor of cultural anthropology. She also worked alongside Clifford DeVoe, a history professor. She spent her time protesting against the desecration and acquisition of artifacts belonging to her people, and even attempted to seize them from museums and collectors, which led to her being arrested. The university then kicked her out as a result.

On October 10th 2017, Mina rode a bus that suddenly stopped to pick up Becky Sharpe, as she was running to catch it. As she came in, Mina spared her a moment's glance before she looked away. Her jacket was noticed by Ralph Dibny, and he saw that there was a black bison stitched on the back. Suddenly, the bus was hit by a blinding light, as a wave of dark matter poured into it, as Barry Allen had exited from the Speed Force, which transformed her into a meta-human. She then devised a plan to steal from the Central City Museum, even though her other criminal actives caught the attention of Team Flash, after discovering she had a panther statue kill a man. After much trouble catching her, they finally caught a break and took her to the meta wing in the old Iron Heights Prison.
Abilities
- Meta-human physiology : After Mina was struck by the dark matter energy from the Flash being released from the Speed Force, this altered her DNA and cells, enabling her to access her newfound powers.
- Effigy animation : In a partially telekinetic manner, Mina has the ability to temporarily animate inanimate objects by leaving a psychic imprint on effigies, giving her a subconscious link with them. This results in the effigies being infused with dark matter on a molecular level, so that they do not have to be within Mina's proximity or line of sight in order to literally enliven them.
- Particular shape : Despite the versatility and fine-tuned control of her powers, Mina's choices on what to manipulate with her powers are limited to only targets that are shaped with features that would allow self-mobility, such having limbs and similar appendages.
- Power-dampening Tech : If Mina is wearing power-dampening cuffs, she can't use her powers.
Native Americans
Native Americans, also known as American Indians, Indians, Indigenous Americans and other terms, are the indigenous peoples of the United States. There are over 500 federally recognized tribes within the U.S., about half of which are associated with Indian reservations. The term excludes Native Hawaiians and some Alaska Natives. The ancestors of modern Native Americans arrived in what is now the United States at least 15,000 years ago, possibly much earlier, from Asia via Beringia. A vast variety of peoples, societies and cultures subsequently developed. Native Americans were greatly affected by the European colonization of the Americas, which began in 1492, and their population declined precipitously due to introduced diseases, warfare, and slavery.
After the founding of the United States, many Native American peoples were subjected to warfare, removals, and one-sided treaties, and they continue to suffer from discriminatory government policies today. Since the 1960s, Native American self-determination movements have resulted in many changes to the lives of Native Americans, though there are still many contemporary issues faced by Native Americans. Today, there are over five million Native Americans in the United States.
