Added DiffLines:

* BoringButPractical: The Silencer's one real superpower is the ability to create a "Zone of Silence" which dampens sound completely in a small area. It's not flashy nor does it give her any added physical enhancements, but it allows her to kill her targets very quietly without alerting anyone else in the general vicinity. She can even project the zone onto the path of a bullet and have it spread to whatever it hits for silent long-range assassinations.
