As the wielder of the Mind Stone, Colleen has been granted psionic powers and an especially creepy new ability.
Colleen Wing, aka Lady Samurai, is a street-level hero often allied with Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Misty Knight. Raised in a mountain range in Northern Japan,Colleen was trained by her grandfather in the ways of the samurai.After the death of her grandfather, the young samurai moved to New York where she met her now long-time friends and allies. While Colleen’s greatest strengths are mainly in her martial arts abilities and detective skills, she was trained by Iron Fist to observe and control her inner chi.
Now, as thewielder of the Mind Stone, Colleen has been granted psionic powers and an especially creepy new ability. While prowling the streets of New York City, Moon Knight encounters a flock of birds with human heads that he recognizes as “Ba.” He states that in Egyptian scripture, Bas are the manifestations of a person’s soul that leave the body to roam the world during sleep. Upon following the Bas to their source, Moon Knightdiscovers Colleen unconscious and reeling from the activated powers of the Mind Stone.

Colleen Wing May Be The Mind Stone’s Most Gifted Wielder In Marvel History
Will It Be Enough To Stop Thanos?
Her lifelong training, learning how to control her own mind, nerves, and inner energy, seems to have granted Colleen a new level of mastery over the Mind Stone.
So far,the Mind Stone has never before been seen to grant its wielders the ability to manifest thoughts into reality. The Bas are seen to be able to physically interact with the world around them, proving that they are more than mental projections. How exactly Colleen is able to create physical constructs using the stone is entirely unknown. However, the power may be attributed to Colleen’s use of the stone rather than the stone itself.
Her lifelong training, learning how to control her own mind, nerves, and inner energy, seems to have granted Colleen a new level of mastery over the Mind Stone. Those who wish to use the powers of the Infinity Stones often don’t exemplify the special nature of the stones themselves;Thanos certainly isn’t mindful. However,in Colleen Wing’s case, she very well may be the most unassuming, yet most adept Mind Stone wielder seen to date– but whether she will be strong enough to take onThanosremains to be determined.
Moon Knight Annual (2024)#1will be available on July 09, 2025 from Marvel Comics.
