Does she scream and the solid objects appear?
Songbird
Character » Songbird appears in 580 issues.
Songbird is a founding member of the original Thunderbolts. She was formerly known as the super villain Screaming Mimi.
Hows does she use her powers?
Melissa's physical strength was slightly enhanced by treatments from the Power Broker, but this has since faded. Before she burned out her original sonic powers, Melissa's cybernetically enhanced vocal cords could produce super-sonic screams causing effects such as disorientation, hallucinations or unconsciousness. She can still produce inaudible ultrasonic waves with which she can subtly influence the emotions and conduct of people around her. Her other current vocal powers only function in concert with her high-tech harness.
Sounds pretty logical

No longer screams, but has Invisible Woman-like powers. Gotcha
You should read thunderbolts, you may like her
Yeah i know she's in MUA2 im on there forums praying for Ms.Marvel lol. But songbirds powers intrested me when i saw her flying and it looked intresting with what she made. I wonder if she can make these objects a character that can fly and strong throw them at an enemy, would be cool fusion.
A note though you can only play Pro-Reg when playing as her in MUA2, you can see it on her file.
Yeah, Pro only is a bummer, because I may want to do an anti run! Bah, guess Storm or Thor will take her place. Neo, I am assuming you mean a fusion with Ms. Marvel? She is strong and can fly, after all! And she does seem to be a favorite of yours. Well, it can be similar to the one she has with Juggernaut, where she creates a wrecking ball around him, adding to the destruction he can unleash. Perhaps with Ms. Marvel they can do a volley ball type move? Songbird can create the ball of sound, then toss it into the air where Ms. Marvel can spike it at an enemy or group of them?
"she uses her sonic harness to manipulate sound waves which she can mold into constructsSo she just needs sound, and the sound doesn't neccessarily have to be created by her? Another question, does she store it up or somethin?"
"she stores it in her harness, without it she's powerless "So she's like Dazzler, in that she stores some sound up for later?
"I don't think Dazzler's store's sound.."I thought she created the energies from sound, and then harnessed them...
" @xxCellPhoneGirlxx said:ohh, i was thinking of something else... My bad.."I don't think Dazzler's store's sound.."I thought she created the energies from sound, and then harnessed them... "
"@White Mage said:She should've just learned magic. I absolutely hate power sources that can be physically taken away." @glforthewin: Interesting........so is the harness the source of her powers? Or is it the only way she can USE them? "it's the source "
" @pixelized said:Bullseye stabbed her in her harness and she had to switch to her back up one in order to be useful."@White Mage said:She should've just learned magic.

"@White Mage said:The woman could've tried! All the different healers/technology enhancers in Marvel, and she finds someone to make her a BELT?! What sense does that make?" @pixelized said:Bullseye stabbed her in her harness and she had to switch to her back up one in order to be useful."@White Mage said:She should've just learned magic.

"it's the source "And i like how you, "she should've just learned magic" as though anyone can do it!"
"She had just lost her boyfriend and her vocal abilities! she was desperate "She uses the belt, WITHOUT shopping around for a permanent fix. For that, she loses points. I WISH I would live in a world where I have access to that many geniuses, GOVERNMENT FUNDED, and still end up wearing a damn HARNESS that makes sound. I'd just join apocalypse, let him do the job the way it was meant to be done, and then have some superhero team save me. Best of both worlds. I have powers that are actually NOT vulnerable, and I get to go back to my team.
"she keeps a spare, seriously. "face palm
She NEEDS A SPARE?! That is so sad. Could she get someone to create an indestructible protective covering or SOMETHING? Seriously...

"@White Mage said:She needs to get Reeds number. She's funded by the Government for heaven's sake. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, and I'm sure it would take him 4 hours." @pixelized said:Yeah, it came in handy when Bullseye destroyed her first one...

"She's fine without it, not everyone can be storm where the only weakness is death "LMAO True.
Screaming Mimi has had different sources for her powers over the last near 40 years she's existed in the books. Screaming Mimi's mutagenic screaming powers, heal factor, and super-strength came from Power Broker/ Curtiss Jackson during her stint in the seventies and eighties against Captain America as the female wrestler/crook Screaming Mimi with the Grapplers of the Unlimited Class Wrestling Championship.
Screaming Mimi's powers were also chemically derrived to equal the Daredevil foe Angar the Screamer/ David Allan Angar in the ability to emit screams or sound waves to cause hallucinagetic and dehabilitating or nauseating effects. This power had since been declined.
When Songbird debuted as a Thunderbolt in an issue of Incredible Hulk, her vocal cords were fitted with an electronic voicebox derrived by Angar when he was aliased as Scream. Songbird can by force of will or derrived telepathy turn her voice waves into solid energy to equal the tenacity of a laser beam and can shape the energies to encase the Hulk telepathically to no damage to her body or throat. Songbird's harness for flight is an invention of Fixer/Techno/Paul Ebersol which could have also been modified by lesser known Thunderbolt and prior mutant terrorist inventor Ogre. The harness is theorized to work similar to the Fantastic Four foe Wizard's anti-grav discs and projects hologramatic-solid light-laser based wings by a back-up power source to enable Songbird to maneuver and fly on wind currents and maneuver for lack of proper telekinesis to her body. It's indetermined how Songbird activates the harness or whether Songbird can utilize low sound waves for flight similar to Siryn and Banshee in flying or if she has acquired an unrevealed telekinetic ability to lift her body into the air. The laser wings of her harness are assumed to be similar to the weapons technologies used in then Thunderbolt Joystick's gauntlets. Her light based wings are viable against projectile attacks or damage from windshear or weather from flight speeds.
