Summary[]
Intuition is one of many fanfictions of the web serial Worm, where the protagonist Taylor Hebert has an alternative power to the bug-controlling ability she normally has.
In this case, the worlds of Worm and Heroes are merged together to form a singular universe where Taylor is the niece of Gabriel Gray, better known as Sylar, with the same ability as him. Shortly after realizing her powers, her ability to intuit how things and people "work" take her through the Brockton Bay Wards, where she fights threats emerging out of newly-discovered interdimensional portals called "thinnies".
Appearance and Personality[]
Taylor looks exactly like her canon counterpart, but has her vision healed by Panacea and stopped wearing glasses shortly into the fic. Normally, Taylor is insecure and emotional like in-canon, however her Intuitive Aptitude power allows her to put on any kind of emotional front, or if extensively using her power completely turn off her emotions and effectively become a sociopath/psychopath.
To other people, she presents herself as highly confident, often sarcastic, and acting as the smartest person in the room, although she's borderline hostile/competitive when confronted with someone with similar Thinker powers (i.e. Tattletale)

In canon, Khepri was unable to detect her using The Clairvoyant), Pain Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Memory Manipulation (Path to Victory comes with an autopilot that would allow the user to shrug off mental effects such as pain so long as her actual body remains functional. This includes resisting Goddess' passive mind control and Imp's powers), likely more (Path to Victory largely functions outside normal power interactions, and is likened to being the Sting of its category), Via Leviathan's Powers Water Manipulation (Leviathan can manipulate water on a massive scale, causing tsunamis and rainstorms with his arrival), Via Ediolon's power Reactive Evolution (Eidolon develops powers in response to his need, shedding less necessary ones for more useful and powerful ones as needed; Taylor can use four), Power Absorption (At his most powerful, he can absorb the powers of other Parahumans to increase his own power and utilize their abilities), Has control of all 20 Endbringers, Resistance to Precognition (Contessa and other precogs can't accurately predict his actions using their powers), Via Mantellum Extraordinary Resistance to every sensory power demonstrated by Taylor and Scion, Via Simurgh's powers Precognition/Postcognition (Only got to look at a small part of Simurgh's core. Has a detailed view of the future for an hour, morso than Path to Victory. Can view events in the past at least a hundred years back), Likely others (Unknown if she acquired Endbringer durability and power resistances after analyzing Leviathan's and Simurgh's core)
Has access to every Endbringer at full power except for Leviathan, which would include The Simurgh, Behemoth, Khonsu, Tohu, and Bohu. Included unnamed Endbringers who were capable of Ignoring durability by teleporting part of an object but leaving the rest of it behind, on the scale of cities, Rending Space and Time to the point where permanent interdimensional portals were opened across the Sahara, Has access to every one of Bakuda's bombs including a set of Gray Boy bombs
All previous abilities plus all the powers of Scion (Worm) (Is the result of Taylor absorbing and subsuming every Shard in Scion's true body after he distributed his shards as the Warrior Entity), Most powers in Worm/Ward and Heroes (While confronting Scion, scoured the entire planet for parahuman powers and EVO powers and absorbed every power in the Garden of Eden)
Attack Potency: Average Human level, Wall level with Tinkertech (Her laser pistol van vaporize all the water in a tree in a microsecond and blow a hole through a basement wall. Her hard light suits can fight with the tentacles of a thousand-ton monster) | Wall level (Can grow up to 14 feet tall with three times the strength proportionate to that size. Can incinerate human bodies with her pyrokinesis and freeze them with her Cryokinesis) | Large Building level (Has Glory Girl's enhanced strength and the strength of parahuman stronger than Alexandria. Ripped out a ten ton block of nanomachines stronger than granite with her telekinesis. Telekinetically pulled apart Shards, which can be as large as the Empire State Building and tough enough to withstand orbital ejection/re-entry), At least Large Town level with Induced Radioactivity (Acquired the power from Ted Sprauge, who could melt sand from miles away and gave Sylar the ability to go nuclear), Large Mountain level with the Ash Beast's power (Would presumably allow her to become a human-sized mass energy explosion), many of her abilities ignore durability | Multi-Continent Class (Has all the powers of Scion, including his Golden Beams), many of her abilities ignore durability
Speed: Average Human | Peak Human movement/combat speed (Runs 20-80 miles per hour depending on size, consistently outspeeds trained soldiers), Subsonic reactions (Has reaction speeds eight times those of herself as a human) | Hypersonic (Far superior to EVO speedsters who reach well over Mach 1 at medium capacity. Ate garbage at hypersonic speeds), FTL+ when power-boosted by Ando (Views a lightpseed attack as moving at the speed of molasses) | Hypersonic with Massively Hypersonic+ flight speed (Scion flew around the world twice in a short span of time, has Eidolon's powers)
Lifting Strength: Average Human, far higher with Tinkertech (Lifted the tentacle of a ten thousand pound monster in Leet's hard-light suit) | Class 1 (Has superhuman lifting strength but insufficient to lift cars. Can rip off limbs and grapple with fourteen foot long monsters) | At least Class M (Has superior strength to Alexandria. Telekinetically manipulates Shards as big as the Empire State and telekinetically lifted Leviathan even after he exponentially increased his weight with mass from his core) | At least Class M (Same as before)
Striking Strength: Average Human Class | Wall Class | Large Building Class | Unknown
Durability: Average Human level, Wall level with Tinkertech (In her hard light suits, took hits from tentacles that could shatter brick walls and tear apart the Brockton Bay mall) | Street level, likely Wall level (Completely unphased by superhumans punching her in tandem, would likely reach this via size along at 14 feet tall), regeneration and immortality make her difficult to kill | Large Building level (Acquired powers from a cape with "Alexandria-level durability". ), Unknown with Glory Girl's shield (Her forcefield can take one blow at a time before dissipating, ranging anywhere from a gunshot to Scion's energy blasts), regeneration and immortality make her difficult to kill | Multi-Continent level with her avatar (Scion's avatar took hits from fifty of his golden beams simultaneously and still had most of his body), At least Planet level with her true body (It's a collection of shards than coat an entire alternate Earth, numbering in the millions of quintillions), Unknown with Glory Girl's shield
Stamina: Regular human | High. Doesn't need sleep or get tired through exertion, and can intake more mass by dissolving organic material to replenish herself | Extremely high. Draws power directly from the Sun and the 'cosmos' around herself, which was sufficient for her to infect and take over millions of quintillions of Shards over several centuries | Extremely high.
Range: Melee, much higher with Tinkertech | Extended melee range for tentacles / tendrils / stingers, Several meters with most powers, Dozens of meters with animal control, Citywide with Singing, Interdimensional with portals (But limited to dimensions she has already been in) | Same as before, Line of Sight with Telekinesis, Heartbreaker's Power, Any power can potentially be extended to Interdimensional range via Clairvoyant/Doormaker's powers
Standard Equipment: Either her Tinkertech Laser Pistol or Stun Gun | None notable.
Optional Equipment: (End of Series Only) Every Endbringer except for Leviathan. Every bomb produced by Bakuda, including Grey Boy bombs.
Intelligence: Supergenius. Is capable of reverse-engineering technology decades to millennia ahead of human civilization and then explaining them in a way that is replicable by modern science. By the end of the series, she had hundreds of bodies acquiring cumulative thousands of years of education in the course of a year while working various jobs around the planet. Often uses powers she steals better then the original users without the same weaknesses.
Weaknesses: Trying to grasp extremely complex constructs such as Shards can cause her to black out, although she loses this weakness later | Bonesaw was able to engineer a plague that caused her to go into a pain feedback loop between her multiple bodies, although she adapted to this shortly after the encounter | None notable. Lacks most limitations/weaknesses of the original power users she copies off of. | Could be killed through sufficient damage to her true body, although unlike Scion she lacks a core and her mind occupies every Shard in his body simultaneously
Key: Pre-EVO Powerstealing | Pre-Parahuman Powerstealing | End of Series | Post-Scion (Silver)
