Known Powers:
Mineral Body: Quicksand’s body is composed of sand, with which she can perform the following power stunts:
- Create sand hammers which do Amazing damage
- Create Incredible Material Strength caging and ensnaring attacks
- Phase through openings with Incredible ability
- Elongate up to two areas
- Sculpt complex objects from sand

- Sandblast of Amazing intensity with a three area range
Armor: Amazing protection against physical attacks, and Incredible against most energy attacks
Weakness:
Quicksand may have the same weaknesses as the similarly powered Sandman, but has not exhibited them. Heat and flame-based attacks fuse the body into glass. Water-based powers of Monstrous rank or water-based creatures transform the body into a mindless sludge. As Quicksand is able to generate a sandstorm with her attacks, she is (unlike the Sandman) probably resistant to wind-based attacks.
Talents:
Quicksand was formerly a scientist, and seems to have some knowledge of nuclear engineering.
Contacts:
Quicksand was an ally of the Mongoose, and served Mongoose’s master.
Role-Playing Notes:
Quicksand is extremely vain and selfish. Her primary concern is re gaining her former human form and she will cooperate with anyone who will promise to help her become human again. She was once very over confident, but her ability in her own powers has been shaken after several battles against the Mighty Thor. Quicksand has no regard for human life other than her own.
History:
Little is known of Quicksand’s past, except that she is of Oriental ancestry, that she worked as a scientist, and a nuclear accident transformed her into Quicksand. In retribution for that accident, Quicksand attempted to cause a meltdown in the reactor of a major nuclear plant. She was opposed by Thor, who failed to defeat Quicksand but saved the surrounding area by transporting the nuclear plant into another dimension. Quicksand retreated, not anxious to meet Thor again in battle.
But Quicksand was later contacted by the Mongoose, an agent of the High Evolutionary, who wished to get a sample of Thor’s tissue and breed a race of super-gods. Mon goose promised Quicksand that she would be restored to her former human appearance if she held Thor at bay in battle long enough to strike Thor with a ray that would take the necessary tissues. Quicksand barely managed to hold Thor at bay, and fled the moment the Mongoose completed his task. Whether Quick sand will be permanently restored to normal, or whether the Mongoose will betray him, remains to be seen.
