* PsychoElectro: Sydney is an unhinged criminal who uses electric conduits. She literally [[spoiler:leaves people to burn to death in a lab that ''she'' robbed]]. She also tries to electrocute a man who is flying, so if she hit him, he would have fell to his death. This really comes into play in the Season 2 Finale, where she [[spoiler: blows holes into Noah's wings, leaving him falling to his death and she electrocutes Yuriah out of spite.]]
