Editing Winter (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Winter's power did not involve cold generation ''per se'' as her name implied; rather, it was a dampening effect that caused bullets to lose their inertia, heat to seep out of areas, energy attacks to lose their fizzle, and humans to lose their will.<ref name="25 e1" /> She could likely concentrate her power in a smaller area, halting all motion, based on what was seen with a [[Snowmann|hybrid]] clone.<ref name="26.5">Chevalier fired his cannonblade again.  One shot to polish off the remaining Hatchet Face that was closing the distance, and another directed at the Winter-Mannequin.  The Winter-Mannequin’s power took the impetus out of the second shot.<br /><br />The Wards were moving slower now too.  Reacting slower.  Tecton barely resisted as the Mannequin seized him in one hand.<br />[...]<br />Revel launched energy-orbs, but they barely seemed to touch the Winter-Mannequin hybrid.<br /><br />Then Wanton closed the distance.<br /><br />Ice chipped away, and the resulting chunks flaked away at the other pieces of ice.  It was soon a localized blizzard, and the large hunks of ice that clung to the Mannequin’s suit began to break away.<br /><br />More ice appeared, but it, in turn, was broken by the yet-larger chunks that had been picked up.<br /><br />The storm began to slow as the Winter-Mannequin concentrated his power on a smaller area.  The storm came to a standstill. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/30 Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.5]]</ref> Even at its widest and least intense, it reduced ambient temperatures to the point that moisture froze in the air creating a telltale mist.<ref name="26.2e1" /> When it was somewhat concentrated, the effect was strong enough to kill [[Weaver]]'s bugs in seconds.<ref name="26.2 e3" />

People under its effect experienced a mental torpor, feeling their thoughts slow to a crawl. They would stand still as they died from cold.<ref name="26.2e1" /> This made her a highly effective hostage taker, and a good teammate to [[Crimson]] when he needed victims.<ref name="26.2 e2">And all of that raised the question of what Winter and Crimson were doing. I scanned the building. Nothing on the top floor, or the next lowest. Further downstairs, a number of people were in the sway of Winter’s power, their thoughts slowed to a crawl.<br /><br />The basement of the same building. Winter, Crimson, and their hostages. Some would be the ones from Killington. Others were ones that had fallen into the sway of Winter’s torpor. Crimson was feeding on them. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/20/sting-26-2/ Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.2]]</ref>

The original Winter may have had even greater facility with her power then what was displayed by her clones in [[The Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand]].<ref name="26.2e1" /><ref name="26.3c1">Though it’s somewhat justified in this instance as they don’t retain their full memories – only cobbled-together personalities and histories. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/sting-26-3/#comment-33606 Comment] by Wildbow in [[Sting 26.3]]</ref><ref name="I26e1">The entity observed the ongoing conflict.  No less than five seconds after it had been trapped, two figures had emerged from a doorway between worlds.  The entity could see the paths forming, trace them back to the source.  Another world, a living world without a shard occupying it.<br /><br />They engaged [[Harbinger|the eight]] with their own perception abilities, intervening to assist a group of others.  As a pair, they opened fire with guns, then waded into hand to hand combat.<br /><br />[[Warrior Entity|The entity]] looked at [[The Number Man|the male]], and it saw the connection to the same shard as the eight.  His connection was stronger, more mature. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/10/interlude-26/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 26]]</ref> She was able to contain a precinct replete with heroes in her original incarnation.<ref name="I13e1" />
