Superhuman strength:
This power/ability allows Topanga to press/lift form 100 tons up 400 tons. Topanga is "strong enough to hold down half-a-dozen full grown elephants", and literally tear armored tucks apart or crush them into the size of a pinball's. Topanga also has incensed physical durability. Able to endure a blow from a snow shovel, only to stand up again relatively unharmed, as well as able to endure the stress inflicted upon her body by her own strength( she dose not, for example, injure her hand when punching thought a solid, thick brick wall).
Photographic reflexes:
This power/ability allows Topanga to replicate any physical motion she witnesses without having to practice it. Topanga can only duplicate what she is physical cable of doing; she cannot duplicate the powers of other homo-superior beings. (For example, she can duplicate professional- level gymnastic moves and fighting skills, however she cannot duplicate the ability to leap to a height of over 600 feet and a distance of over 1,000 feet in a single bound). In addition the thing about this power/ability is that any physical ability that Topanga duplicates is imprinted in her mind permanently, and she can recall any physical ability template she has duplicated.
Nigh-invulnerable:
Topanga's body is nigh-invulnerable. The most common explanations for her invulnerability is Topanga's having a super-dense molecular structure which is a result of The Shadoru race modified her DNA Combining it with the DNA of their race, thus causing her molecular structure to mutate therefore becoming Super-dense hence giving her, her invulnerability. It is also caused of her aging process to stop at adult hood which would be approximately twenty years old to be exact. Also the modification altered her immune system so that it would be able to protect her from some if not all toxins and diseases

Bio:
As a young girl, Topanga Rosalinda O'Riley was kidnapped by aliens called The Shadorū race. Aside from the fact that she helpless witnessed Raze murder her parents and that she's a mutant with superhuman strength and photographic reflexes, the details of her past and her abduction are still shrouded in mystery. The Shadoru race used her as a guinea pig in their super assassination soldier experiments, subjecting her to all sorts of tortures. However, it worked! The mad scientists of The Shadoru race modified her DNA Combining it with the DNA of their race, thus causing her molecular structure to mutate therefore becoming Super-dense hence giving her, her invulnerability. It is also caused of her aging process to stop at adult hood which would be approximately twenty years old to be exact. Also the modification altered her immune system so that it would be able to protect her from some if not all toxins and diseases.
Once that was done, they brainwashed her, trained her, and turned her into what they thought was the perfect assassination solider. (Note: this technique was also used on 12 other kidnapped girls known as the "Soulless Dolls" wink The Shadorū king was so impressed with Topanga's skill and loyalty that she earned a spot at his side as his most trusted servant.
But one day her brainwashing began to fade, and Topanga started to think for herself. The Shadoru Commander Raze considered her to be too dangerous a weapon to take any chances, so he ordered that she be killed. What actually happened to Topanga is shrouded in mystery because there are a few conflicting reports. However, we do know that she was not killed.
One day, a covert agent Donovan mainland O'Riley, found Topanga unconscious on the steps of the English Secret Service's Training Center in New York City. He took her in, but it was soon discovered that she was an amnesiac. Topanga never did remember how she got there, but she did have excellent fighting instincts, so the agent arranged to have her begin training.
After 3 years, at the age 19, Topanga earned a spot on the agent's anti-terrorist assault team, Codename: Red Alert.
Red Alert Topanga isn't evil like when she was The Shadorū races' super assassination soldier, but she is a mental wreck. She tries to be normal, but nagging doubts about who she is often leave her in a foul mood. Red Alert Topanga is known to be extremely moody.
At times, she's just an irresponsible teenage girl who oversleeps, loves cats, likes to shop, but at other times she's a top-notch secret service agent. Although she's exceedingly confident in her fighting skills, she lacks confidence and experiences in other areas. Nevertheless, Red Alert Topanga really values the opportunity she's been given by Agent O'Riley, so she gives it her all.
Shortly after becoming a member of Red Alert, Topanga and her teammates where assigned to take down The Shadoru race. Throughout the mission, small bits and pieces of Topanga's memory begin to reemerge, but all she really figures out is that Raze, the Leading Commander of The Shadoru race, set her up and tried to have her killed. Topanga eventually catches Raze and demands an explanation, but he tells her that it was all an accident.
Moreover, he tells Topanga that they were once in love! Topanga's stunned at this revelation, but doesn't quite believe that she could ever love an evil man like Raze. At that moment, Topanga realizes that it doesn't matter who she was because she's happy with who she is now. Topanga vowed to stop looking back for her past, and concentrate on her future. She has a home, a job that she's good at, and great friends... what else could she want?
When Topanga turned twenty years old she joins the X-Men.
Exactly how she got to from Red Alert to The X-Men isn't really clear. It is suspect that Topanga is still a member of the English Secret Service, but that she was asked by Xavier to join in the fight for his cause, that she seemed to also believe in and she accepted his offer, thus becoming a part of the X-Men fulltime.
Although it's a dangerous and hard-hitting job, X-Men Topanga or Sapphire Messiah which is her codename, seems to be at peace with herself making new friends and trying to make it a batter work for everyone both homo-sapiens and Homo-superiors . These days now that her mind has cleared up, Topanga knows that heaven is the limit.
As for looking to the future Topanga always wonders what'll happen in the next chapter of her life. Will the mysteries of her past come back to haunt her? Will she continue along her present path? She knows there are SO many possibilities... and she thinks it'll be exciting to see!!
