In the past she had proven to be able to manipulate charged particles, fire, gravity, heat, light, magnetism, radio waves, and radiation. She can manipulate these energies in virtually unlimited capacity including that which she generates. If someone else with energy control attempts to control the same energy as her they must make an opposed roll. (Nova checks on 1d20+30). Nova has performed a number of various tasks with her energy control a few samples are given.

She is able to change the fire damage to disintegration or radiation damage as a free action. She also adds his damage to any hand to hand damage she inflicts.
