temporarily (although, whether She-Hulk was really restrained is questionable, seeing as she subsequently, and playfully, played "This Little Piggy" with the energy hands fingers; this forced Southpaw's fingers open and caused Southpaw great discomfort). The energy hand was certainly strong enough to twist Ironclad
's arm. She uses the hands as her main attack method, mainly by grabbing an opponent. She can also perform feats of class 100 strength, but only with her left hand.
Her gauntlet's size and shape appears to alter at random. Whether this is due to its abilities or simply different artwork has let to be explained, but at times it seems almost as big as her whole body while at others it barely goes past her wrist.
