Transonic (Marvel)

Transonic is a female comic character who features in Marvel Comics.

Biography

Laurie Tromette was a 19-year-old college student living in Vancouver when her X-gene first manifests. At first, her mutation takes no real form. She experiences hair loss, skin changes, and flu-like symptoms, but according to Cyclops, "nothing resembling anything." She becomes so distressed that she decides to commit suicide by jumping off of a building. In an effort to save Laurie's life, Hope jumps off the building with her—touching Laurie and activating her power of flight. Laurie pledges to follow Hope and eventually moves to Utopia with the rest of the X-Men. After moving to Utopia, Laurie, like the rest of the Lights, both trains with Hope and takes classes with the rest of the student-aged mutant population. When Hope confronts Emma Frost during a class, Laurie is conflicted about following Hope from the room. While she ultimately goes with her team, Laurie is apologetic toward her teacher and is upset by her team's actions.

Overview

Powers and abilities

Her primary ability was that of supersonic flight where her body not only propels itself through the air at transonic speeds but also possessed reactive properties that change her physical form to grant enhanced manoeuvrability. Her body was shown to change shape to become larger and winged when traveling at higher altitudes.
