First Appearance: New Warriors III#4 (November, 2005)

Powers/Abilities: Debrii is a low-level telekinetic magnet, allowing her to attract and move small objects within her limited range. While the range of her power and size of the objects moved are limited, she is capable of utilizing this ability for a variety of powerful uses including moving the objects around at high speed to create storms and/or clouds of debris that she can then force into an enemy, forming the objects into an armored "body" for added durability and strength sufficient to break through a concrete wall or even moving non-loose objects such as crushing the ground in her vicinity to break apart and utilize for more debris to manipulate.

    She can also use her powers on herself to allow for short distance levitation.

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown

History:
(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z I#3 - Debrii entry - BTS) - The low level telekinetic Debrii was born in New York City, New York, a citizen of the United States.

(New Warriors III#4 (fb) - BTS) - Debrii remained in New York, which she considered her home. When the heroic New Warriors filmed a traveling reality show in which they would handle small-time criminal cases, the television executives secretly decided the show needed "new blood" and producer Ashley Brothers arranged for Debrii to join the team, albeit without telling the other New Warriors.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#12 (fb) - BTS) - Debrii agreed to join the New Warriors in an effort to get famous.

(New Warriors III#4) - During a mission to Nuponder, Minnesota, the New Warriors planted a trap for their enemy Terrax (secretly a robot facsimile), who had seemingly been abducting local pets, and when the Terrax robot was lured out into the open by the cat Mr. Tickles, Debrii chimed into the New Warriors' communications by suggesting they spring the trap. While the confused New Warriors struggled to figure out who had compromised their communications, Debrii publicly revealed her presence by summoning forth clouds of debris that she covered the Terrax robot with. Despite the storm of flying debris in the air, the Terrax robot managed to capture Mr. Tickles and flee, leaving Night Thrasher to question who Debrii was. Upon being asked, Debrii responded by demanding to know who the #@%! Night Thrasher was and the conversation was interrupted by Ashley Brothers, who introduced Debrii as the newest New Warrior. The New Warriors became angry that they were not consulted about any new members and Ashley tried to smooth things over by explaining how the television executives wanted new blood. Most of the Warriors argued with Ashley but Namorita angrily suggested Debrii stop referring to herself in the third person, as Debrii did little more than move trash around. Antagonistically getting in Namorita's face, Debrii argued that she could move much more than just trash. Nova eventually told everyone to shut up and reminded them that they were being filmed before Microbe interrupted to reveal that his germs could not affect Terrax because he was not an organic being. Realizing Terrax must be some sort of facsimile and learning from Microbe that the other residents of Nuponder seemed to also be inorganic, Nova ordered Debrii and Microbe to stay there while the rest of the New Warriors went to the Nucar automotive plant to investigate.

    Ashley Brothers argued that the New Warriors didn't have the "power" to decide who went where so Nova suggested Debrii and Microbe figure out their own way to the plant since they couldn't fly. Debrii argued that Namorita, who was carrying one of the show's cameramen, had a free arm and Namorita still declined to carry Debrii, claiming the camera man was really heavy. The New Warriors departed for the Nucar plant and Ashley commended Debrii on stirring things up. Ashley then suggested they just needed to find a way to better explain Debrii's powers on cameras but the still-angry Debrii demanded to know how long Microbe had been on the team. When Microbe replied that he'd been there for four episodes of the reality show, Debrii exclaimed that she would not be treated unfairly and suggested that she and Microbe prove themselves by showing what they could do. She then walked towards the Nucar plant with Microbe in tow.

(New Warriors III#5) - Tracking the New Warriors' bacteria to the Nucar plant, Microbe led Debrii to the entrance and confirmed they were in the right place, noting that he could hear Namorita's Atlantean bacteria bickering with everyone else's. Remarking that even Namorita's bacteria had an attitude, Debrii ventured inside with Microbe covering the rear. Microbe was soon shocked by a security robot and in his panic, he fell atop Debrii. The two then made their way into a dark room, where they hid out until the security lost them. Debrii then found a light switch and flipped it, revealing that they had stumbled into a machine parts room. Using her powers to telekinetically armor herself in machine parts, Debrii then punched her way to the other New Warriors, arriving just in time to punch an Albert Einstein robot (of the Mad Thinker's Intellectual Robots) into the ground, rescuing Speedball with Microbe following closely behind her. A surprised Speedball wondered what the giant armored robot-looking thing was, at which point Debrii revealed that she was inside the armor and noted that she was rescuing the New Warriors again before continuing on to save the others while Microbe tended to Speedball's injuries. She soon located Night Thrasher and pounded the Leonardo da Vinci robot into the ground, much as she had done with the Albert Einstein robot. Speedball soon rescued Nova and Debrii followed shortly behind, pounding the Sigmund Freud robot into the ground as well. The regrouped New Warriors then made their way to Namorita, who was battling the Virginia Woolf robot. Moments after a repentant Woolf destroyed herself by walking into molten metal, Namorita asked about the other robots, to which Debrii happily replied that she had smashed them all. Namorita quickly got into Debrii's face, angrily noting that Debrii wasn't even supposed to be there. She then attacked Debrii for killing the Intellectual Robots but the rest of the Warriors soon calmed the hostilities. As the group then walked from the Nucar plant back in town, Nova reminded Namorita that the robots were never truly alive. Debrii then discarded her machine part armor in the street, unaware of robot bystanders who had been gathering data on the New Warriors.

(New Warriors III#6) - While on the way to Smyrna, Delaware, where the villainous Corruptor had been exposed as the town mayor, Debrii was sandwiched in the backseat next to Microbe and she grumbled that the New Warriors should get into town and get the mission over with before asking Nova what she needed to know about the Corruptor. Nova then explained the Corruptor's powers to Debrii, bragging about his time with the intergalactic Nova Corps, before he accidentally crashed the winnebago into elderly couple Willard and Edith. Feeling like the New Warriors had the light, an angry Debrii got out and stomped over towards the couple but Namorita held Debrii back, noting that her "unique interpersonal skills" might not be productive in this situation. Eventually, the Warriors escaped Willard and Edith and met up with Ashley Brothers, with whom they deduced that the Corruptor seemed to somehow be affecting the entire town of Smyrna. Making their way into the mayoral mansion, the New Warriors learned that the Corruptor was harvesting his sweat to water plants that then exuded his negativity-inducing chemicals and while in the mayor's greenhouse, Debrii and the other New Warriors became affected by the Corruptor's chemicals as well. Debrii and most of the other New Warriors then erupted into fights as Microbe, retaining his clear mind but sickened due to the germs he communicated with turning against him due to the Corruptor's influence, tackled the Corruptor with a large hug. The sheer weight of the sickened Microbe knocked the Corruptor through one of the greenhouse's glass windows and the fresh air cleared the New Warriors' minds. The Corruptor was then taken into custody and when an EMT tried to detox Debrii, she angrily told the EMT she was fine, leading the EMT to think Debrii was still affected by the Corruptor's influence until the other New Warriors vouched that Debrii was always like that. As the New Warriors recovered, Ashley Brothers informed them that their reality show had been put on hiatus. Shortly after, Nova agreed to take Debrii home.

(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z HC Vol. 3 - Debrii entry - BTS) - Debrii chose not to rejoin the New Warriors when their reality show was picked up by a different network.

(She-Hulk II#8 (fb) - BTS) - Following the restarted New Warriors accidentally caused an explosion in Stamford, Connecticut while battling the explosive Nitro, a New Warriors hate site publicly outed Debrii's real name and her car was overturned and torched. Escaping the wreckage, Debrii cursed as her car went up in flames. The website also monitored the living status on each active and former New Warrior, noting in their online dead pool that Debrii was still alive.

(Civil War I#4 (fb) - BTS) - After the passage of the Superhuman Registration Act, Debrii joined up with Captain America's Secret Avengers resisting the SHRA.

(Civil War I#4) - Following a devastating battle at the Geffen-Meyer chemical plant against Iron Man's pro-SHRA forces, Debrii was present in the Secret Avengers' headquarters as the injured Captain America discussed the opinion of Nighthawk that the Secret Avengers seek amnesty.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Debrii reluctantly registered following Captain America's eventual surrender, joining the newly-created Initiative training program.

(Mighty Avengers I#1 (fb) - BTS) - While subsequently working to form a new Avengers team in the wake of the superhuman civil war over the SHRA, Iron Man met with Carol Danvers and projected images of numerous registered heroes including Debrii to pick from for a new Avengers roster.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#1) - As a trainee in the Initiative program at Camp Hammond in Stamford, Connecticut, Debrii witnessed, alongside several other Initiative recruits, new recruit MVP ace all of physical training courses.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#6 (fb)) - Debrii participated in an obstacle course drill alongside Thor Girl and other Initiative trainees during which she noticed Justice speaking with Initiative drill instructor Gauntlet. When Justice and Gauntlet soon got into a physical altercation, Debrii and Thor Girl attempted to hold back Gauntlet while Ultragirl tried to hold back Justice.|

(Avengers: The Initiative I#6) - Days later, Debrii participated in a training drill session during which Gauntlet berated six of the Initiative trainees that had recently went rogue during a battle against the Hulk. When Gauntlet was later severely beaten, Debrii and other Initiative trainees who were formerly New Warriors were placed in the Camp Hammond Brig. While there, she waited quietly as the others discussed the severity of the attack on Gauntlet and how one of them had to be the culprit. Not long after former New Warrior and Initiative instructor Justice was also placed in the Brig, Debrii was called in for interrogation regarding the attack on Gauntlet. During her interrogation, Debrii informed the armored officers that Justice had a run-in with Gauntlet a few days earlier.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#10 (fb)) - Debrii met with other former New Warriors Initiative trainees to discuss the possibility that Justice had gone rogue. As Debrii commented on how it was not a good time to be an ex-New Warrior, Slapstick began struggling to say something and eventually, Debrii suggested Slapstick be allowed to speak his mind. Slapstick nearly admitted that he had beaten up Gauntlet but he was interrupted when his old New Warriors communicator went off. Debrii and the other former New Warriors then watched as Slapstick searched his infinite pocket space until he found the communicator. They all then watched as the communicator played a message from Justice mentioning some secrets about MVP and asking them all to quietly go AWOL from the Initiative to meet him in Tennessee.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#10) - Meeting Justice in Bull's Gap, Tennessee, Debrii and the other former New Warriors ventured to the Van Patrick home, where they arrived just in time to stop a small group of other Initiative recruits from using a mind-overriding device on a MVP clone that resided there with the original MVP's father.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#11) - Debrii was present as Slapstick tied up the Initiative trainees and listened as the trainees warned of the impending arrival of a murderous MVP clone called KIA. As the Initiative trainees attempted to explain how their mind-overriding device would download the clone's memories and transmit them into KIA, effectively rebooting his mind, KIA destroyed the Van Patrick home, surprising both the former New Warriors and the Initiative trainees. Debrii and the former New Warriors then engaged KIA but he easily defeated both Justice and Slapstick. KIA then poisoned Initiative trainee Komodo, prompting Debrii and Rage to attack but their attacks reflected off of the energy shield generated by KIA. As the fight progressed, the Avengers arrived to join in the battle and Cloud 9 ruthlessly projected her clouds into KIA via a kiss, surprising Debrii and the other heroes. The MVP clone eventually used the mind-overriding device to wipe KIA's mind and Debrii joined the other heroes in recovering from the fierce battle.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#12 (fb)) - Following the battle, Debrii stood by Justice's side as he informed Iron Man that he and the other former New Warriors would not be returning to the Initiative and instead, would be forming a group called Counter Force to keep an eye on and actively oppose the secret dealings of the Initiative program. Iron Man agreed to give Counter Force a headstart and warned them against doing anything illegal. Justice assured Iron Man they would turn themselves in if anything illegal occurred and he then turned to the other former New Warriors including Debrii and assured them that no one was forcing them to leave the Initiative. Admitting that she had originally only joined the New Warriors to get famous, Debrii remarked on how she now found herself going underground with a bunch of vigilante fugitives. She then decided to join Counter Force, sarcastically commenting that the Initiative's camouflage pants made her butt look big.

(New Warriors IV#14 (fb) - BTS) - When a new New Warriors team emerged led by a new Night Thrasher, Counter Force, unaware that this new Night Thrasher was not the original, began keeping tabs on one of the original Night Thrasher's old Appalachian safe houses in case the new Night Thrasher showed up there.

(New Warriors IV#11) - Debrii and the rest of Counter Force (as well as former New Warrior Ultragirl) were summoned back to Camp Hammond for an interview with reporter Sally Floyd, who was curious to learn what the former New Warriors thought about Donyell Taylor's recent New Warriors team. When Sally began asking hard-hitting questions, claiming the people wanted to know, Justice interjected that it was none of the people's business and Debrii interrupted to remark that, if the recent New Warriors were honorable, they would register with the government but they were instead acting like rats in a gutter that no one cared about. Sally responded by reminding Debrii that the recent New Warriors had quite the fan following among the younger crowd, to which Debrii commented that there was no accounting for taste.

(New Warriors IV#14) - When the new Night Thrasher ventured to the original Night Thrasher's Appalachian safe house as predicted, a silent alarm planted in the floorboards by Counter Force alerted them to his presence and Debrii accompanied Counter Force to confront Night Thrasher. After the new Night Thrasher refused to answer whether he was or was not the original Night Thrasher, Dwayne Taylor, Justice admitted his suspicions that, as alien Skrulls were invading Earth, the new Night Thrasher was a Skrull and Debrii remarked on the possibility making sense, as it was a good way to upset Earth's superhuman forces by posing as outlaw heroes to gain public support. Night Thrasher insisted he was not a Skrull but when he readied himself for an attack, Slapstick attacked first, leading to a brief fight against Night Thrasher before the rest of Thrasher's New Warriors arrived on the scene.

(New Warriors IV#15) - Counter Force and Night Thrasher's New Warriors team battled one another, with Debrii using her powers to move rocks to attack the New Warrior Tempest. The battle was soon ended when the new Night Thrasher unmasked, revealing his identity as Donyell Taylor to both Counter Force and his own team of New Warriors for the first time. When Donyell admitted he was trying to uncover whether the Night Thrasher that had been killed in Stamford, Connecticut was an undercover alien Skrull, Justice agreed to help Night Thrasher uncover the truth and Debrii soon accompanied Counter Force and the New Warriors on a mission to inspect the corpses of the deceased New Warriors that had been killed in Stamford. Arriving at the S.H.I.E.L.D. forensics Helicarrier where the corpses were being held, Justice and Night Thrasher had Counter Force and the New Warriors keep S.H.I.E.L.D. and the attacking alien Skrulls busy while they ventured further inside the Helicarrier. Debrii and the other heroes aided S.H.I.E.L.D. against the invading Skrulls and when a Super-Skrull arrived on the scene, Debrii helped the others battle it by hurling debris at it. She then used her powers to collapse the floors beneath two groups of attacking Skrulls and the Super-Skrull was soon defeated by a combined effort from both teams. S.H.I.E.L.D. reinforcements arrived soon after and the injured S.H.I.E.L.D. agents suggested the New Warriors leave the scene, a suggestion seconded by Debrii, who reminded the New Warriors that they were still considered outlaws. Both teams then left the Helicarrier, followed shortly after by Justice and Night Thrasher, who had confirmed the deceased New Warriors were not Skrulls and taken the New Warrior corpses with them. The next day, Debrii attended a funeral service alongside the rest of Counter Force and Donyell's New Warriors for the original Night Thrasher, Microbe and Namorita.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#21 (fb) - BTS) - After Iron Man was removed as head of Earth's superhuman forces and the corrupt Norman Osborn was installed as the new head, Osborn publicly denounced Debrii and the rest of Counter Force, now with the new Night Thrasher as a reformed New Warriors, arranging wanted posters to be displayed across the country. Deciding that the Initiative had no right to retain the corpse of deceased Initiative recruit MVP, Justice led Debrii and the other New Warriors towards Camp Hammond to gather MVP's corpse.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#21) - As Norman Osborn began taking over the Initiative, Ultragirl witnessed a wanted poster featuring Debrii and the other New Warriors being put up in the Camp Hammond Administrative Building. Arguing that Iron Man had agreed to let Counter Force go free, Ultragirl was informed that a lot of Iron Man's decisions were being reconsidered and Ultragirl was ordered to turn over her costume that had once belonged to Ms. Marvel. As the malfunctioning Thor construct called Ragnarok later attacked Camp Hammond, Debrii and the other New Warriors arrived on the scene to find the construct attacking the Initiative.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#22) - The reformed New Warriors engaged Ragnarok, who quickly gained the upper hand despite the determination of the Warriors. Gauntlet soon led the higher level Initiative recruits into battle to assist the New Warriors and during the battle, one of the Scarlet Spiders was killed. Eventually, the Initiative's Baron von Blitzschlag convinced Ragnarok to flee the scene to seek answers as to his Asgardian origins and in the aftermath of the battle, Gauntlet attempted to arrest Debrii and the other New Warriors as wanted fugitives. As a surprised Debrii watched, Ultragirl argued against the New Warriors' arrest and Justice refused to go into custody, instead revealing that they had come to take MVP's corpse home.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#23) - Debrii remained by the New Warriors' side as Justice publicly revealed to reporters how the Initiative had been keeping the deceased MVP on ice and cloning him with his family's consent. Refusing further questioning, Justice then flew off with MVP's corpse, followed behind by Debrii and the rest of the New Warriors. As they departed, Ultragirl quit the Initiative and joined the New Warriors.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#25) - Traveling to a rural Mississippi safe house belonging to Brian Van Patrick, Debrii and the New Warriors touched down and delivered MVP's corpse to his father. An emotional Brian Van Patrick then asked the New Warriors to leave, noting that he could not prevent himself from being consumed by anger at the Initiative for what had happened to his son, and when Justice suggested they do just that, Debrii questioned where they would go since they were wanted fugitives. Night Thrasher assured Debrii that while Night Thrasher was wanted, Donyell Taylor was not and had all the resources of the Taylor Foundation at his disposal. A short time later, Debrii and the other New Warriors came to the rescue of former Initiative staff Gauntlet and Tigra, who had been targeted by Norman Osborn and members of his ally the Hood's Army. Revealing their plans to expose Norman Osborn's corruption, Justice invited Gauntlet and Tigra to join them and they accepted, renaming their group the Avengers Resistance in opposition of Osborn's dark Avengers.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#26 (fb) - BTS) - Debrii and the rest of the Avengers Resistance took to basing themselves out of Chicago's Taylor Foundation Building.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#26) - Debrii was present in the Taylor Foundation Building when some of the other Resistance members returned from a mission in North Carolina. Debrii asked Night Thrasher how the mission went and Night Thrasher admitted they received nothing but more bad press. Debrii then watched as Rage and Night Thrasher got into a heated argument about the Resistance's tactics but Justice and Gauntlet quickly broke up the fight, reminding everyone how they had to work together since failure was not an option.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#28) - Debrii watched with the other Resistance members as the heroic Heavy Hitters announced on television that they were seceding from Norman Osborn's Initiative. Rage insisted the Avengers Resistance needed to back the Heavy Hitters up, questioning what they were doing if not helping against Osborn, to which Debrii admitted she asked herself that same question every day. The Resistance quickly agreed on a quick extraction mission to retrieve the Heavy Hitters and discern the legitimacy of the secession claims and Tigra soon ordered Justice, Scarlet Spider, Night Thrasher and Debrii to act as the retrieval agents while Gauntlet, Slapstick, Rage and Ultragirl acted as muscle to help clear a rescue path. Soon after, the Avengers Resistance arrived in Las Vegas, where Osborn's corrupt Initiative teams and members of the Hood's Army were attacking the Heavy Hitters. During the battle, Night Thrasher was shot and Prodigy convinced Justice to retreat as Debrii and the others were still fighting. Justice reluctantly grabbed Debrii, the rest of the Resistance and Heavy Hitters Telemetry and Nonstop and retreated from the scene, leaving the injured Night Thrasher and Prodigy behind. Debrii then accompanied the Avengers Resistance to a Los Angeles safe house, where Tigra provided Nonstop with the address of Hank Pym for assistance in getting out of the country. As Tigra was providing Nonstop with advice, Debrii announced her plans to leave the Resistance, noting that she never truly wanted to be a superhero, only famous. Explaining how she had originally intended to stay with the Resistance until they rescued the injured Night Thrasher, Debrii remarked that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result and how she didn't wish to part of any more superhero fights. She then commented that if Paris was good enough for Josephine Baker, it was good enough for her before hugging her teammates and wishing them the best. She then walked out of the safe house with Telemetry and Nonstop, noting that she just couldn't keep doing what she was doing.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#35 (fb) - BTS) - Moving to Paris, Debrii became the "snarky" judge on a French television talent competition show called Superpouvoir.

(Avengers: The Initiative I#35) - Following the repeal of the Superhuman Registration Act, the dissolution of the corrupt Initiative and the downfall of Norman Osborn, Debrii was not longer a fugitive but she remained in Paris to continue her work as a judge on Superpouvoir.

(Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt#1) - After being placed in charge of a new volunteer Initiative program, Prodigy summoned several former Initiative members, including Debrii. As news reporters broadcasted, Prodigy asked the assembled young heroes to join his new Initiative.

(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z TPB Vol. 3 - Debrii update text - BTS) - Debrii joined the Initiative's Heavy Hitters group.

(Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt#3) - Following an attack on Earth by the Asgardian Serpent and his possessed followers, Debrii aided the Heavy Hitters team, as well as Rage and Komodo, in setting a trap for the Kuurth-possessed Juggernaut in Las Vegas, Nevada. When Kuurth fell into the trap, only to immediately escape from it, Debrii sarcastically commented on how awesome the situation was and asked Hardball what they should do next. The Heavy Hitters, Komodo, Rage and Debrii soon engaged Kuurth, who withstood nearly any attack they tried to mount. Surrounding herself with a cloud of rock and debris to protect herself, Debrii noted that nothing seemed to have an effect on Kuurth and that he was like a force of nature. Shortly after, Debrii attempted to hit Kuurth with bits of debris as Rage attempted to lift Kuurth but neither attack had any effect. Hardball then began generating a large energy sphere and ordered Debrii and Rage to retreat for their own safety.

(Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt#4) - The Order was soon sent to assist Debrii, Komodo, Rage and the rest of the Heavy Hitters and when they arrived and asked what they could do to help, Debrii commented that she had no answer for them, as their chosen decision-maker, Hardball, had just taken out a homeless community living in the sewers where they had been battling Kuurth. The Heavy Hitter Nonstop quickly argued that if Hardball hadn't generated the large explosive sphere to get Kuurth out of there, many more would have died, but Debrii sarcastically responded by commenting on the acceptability of innocent deaths. The two heroines' argument swiftly got heated, with each in each other's faces, but the argument was interrupted by the return of the injured Hardball. Hardball was immediately attacked by the incoming hero Gravity for causing the sewer explosion and as the two heroes fought one another, Debrii and Rage worked to clear some of the rubble caused by Hardball's energy explosion. Rage noted during the excavation an earth rumble from the southwest despite the Gravity-Hardball battle being north but Debrii interjected when she found survivors in the rubble. Debrii then asked for a clear path as she attempted to get the survivors to safety and soon after, an earthquake rocked the scene.

(Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt#5) - When the earthquake did not subside, Debrii asked some of the Initiative members that had arrived to help what they should do next. She was later present when the earthquake was stabilized.

(Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt#6) - Finding Desert Stars member Supermax looked depressed nearby, Debrii assured him that the the worst was over and before the two could discuss further, the injured Prodigy fell from the sky into the rocky ground next to them. Getting back up, Prodigy remarked to Debrii and Supermax that they had to stop Thor Girl, who had attacked him in anger over being imprisoned. Armoring herself with earthquake debris, Debrii joined Prodigy and Supermax in confronting Thor Girl, who renewed her attack on Prodigy despite her pending transformation into a higher level of existence.. Easily downing Debrii by smashing her hammer through Debrii's armored form, Thor Girl was convinced to allow Prodigy to explain himself regarding her imprisonment. Thor Girl's transformation continued and Ultragirl subsequently arrived on the scene and, having been told Thor Girl was going nuts, attacked. Thor Girl easily swatted Ultragirl away, prompting Debrii and the other assembled heroes to assume Thor Girl had lost control of herself. Realizing Thor Girl was evolving into a new life form, Ultragirl tried to warn the heroes against further attacks but they nonetheless attacked Thor Girl anew. Debrii tried to hit Thor Girl with a cloud of debris but her attack, like most of the others, had no effect. Thor Girl ultimately left Earth, leaving Debrii and the other heroes behind in the rubble, and Prodigy quickly reminded everyone that there were civilians still in need of help. Debrii then joined the other heroes in rushing to assist the earthquake survivors.

    The origins of Debrii's powers were never explained. It's possible she is a mutant but she could also be some sort of mutate or she could have gained her powers some other way...

    The Marvel Database lists Debrii as appearing in Avengers: The Initiative I#14 but I could not find her anywhere in the issue...
