Powers & Paraphenalia

Strength Level: It is unclear whether she actually possesses superhuman strength, but it is more likely that she has the strength of a powerful athlete of her size

Powers: Bora is able to summon freezing winds. She does this by opening a portal from the arctic to wherever she wishes them to go. These are powerful enough to incapacitate an ordinary human, or even blow them off the ground. This power was enhanced by the Painter, enabling her to blanket the entire city of Manhattan in a blizzard, as well as to form several inches of ice over Spider-Man. The power behind this blizzard was sufficient that not even the thunder god, Thor could bring it to a halt

Abilities: She is an accomplished fighter, using her legs as powerful weapons. She also appears to posses the ability to fly, or rather at least levitate within the confines of the winds she has conjoured up. Her powers may increase further as she matures

Equipment: None

Weapons: Freezing winds, snow

Limitations: Unknown

Background

It's not clear whether she met the Painter or Spark first, but she became close enough to him to refer to him as beloved. The Painter performed a mystic ritual which joined their three spirits, as the Avant Guard, to grant the other two additional power, in turn for inspiration for himself, from them. Bora first assisted Spark in his performance art, but then focused her powers at creating a blizzard over the entire city of Manhattan. Alongside Spark, she confronted Spider-Man, and defeated him by coating him with inches of ice.

Spider-Man recovered and, accompanied by the Human Torch, confronted the Guard in their headquarters. The two overcame Bora and Spark, but the Painter revived them with a wave of his brush. However, when the fighting renewed, the Painter lost interest in the venture and trapped Bora and Spark as fixed images on his canvas, before apparently exploding himself, as outlined in the Art Attack storyline.
