 History: Gloria Dinallo is a troubled teenager with telekinetic powers who became a member of the Misfits of Science, a group of unconventional individuals with superhuman abilities. Raised by her mother, who suffers from mental health issues, Gloria never knew her father and speculates that he may have been an alien due to her unusual abilities. Her powers first manifested during her early teens, leading to her struggling with social integration and self-control, as she could inadvertently cause objects to move, shatter, or even levitate around her.
 Her telekinesis often put her at odds with authority, causing her to develop a rebellious streak and to frequently clash with others. Due to her powers, she found herself in trouble with the law on multiple occasions, ultimately landing her in juvenile detention. It was here that she crossed paths with Dr. Billy Hayes, the leader of the Misfits of Science, a quirky team composed of individuals with extraordinary powers who aim to do good despite their unorthodox methods. Billy, seeing Gloria’s potential, invited her to join the Misfits, giving her a sense of belonging and purpose she’d never experienced before.

 As part of the team, Gloria’s telekinesis was a valuable asset. Her experiences with the Misfits helped her develop greater control over her powers and become more confident in her identity. Though initially reluctant to trust others, Gloria gradually opened up and found a surrogate family in her teammates. Her bond with the Misfits was not only empowering but also helped her to use her powers for heroic purposes, including fighting injustice and helping those in need. Through her journey with the Misfits, Gloria grew from a misunderstood delinquent into a young  woman with a stronger sense of self and purpose.

 Height: 5'4" (163 cm)
Weight:
115 lbs (52 kg)
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black 
Abilities: Gloria Dinallo possesses the power of telekinesis, which allows her to mentally manipulate objects without physical contact. Her abilities are versatile, enabling her to lift, move, or throw objects at a distance, although her control over her power fluctuates with her emotional state. When focused, Gloria can levitate multiple objects simultaneously or precisely control the trajectory of small objects. However, when she becomes distressed, her powers can become erratic and unpredictable, leading to unintended collateral damage.Her telekinesis is limited in range and strength, meaning that she cannot manipulate very large or extremely heavy objects. Gloria’s training and teamwork with the Misfits helped her refine her abilities, increasing her skill in handling objects with precision. Despite these improvements, she still struggles with emotional stability, which can occasionally impact her control.

 Accessories: Gloria does not have any specialized equipment, although she often relies on everyday items around her as makeshift projectiles or tools, wielding them telekinetically. Her rebellious and casual style is reflected in her attire, usually consisting of leather jackets and accessories that suit her tough, independent personality. The Misfits of Science provide her with a supportive environment but no specific gear, allowing Gloria to develop her powers naturally without the aid of technology or enhancements. Her telekinesis alone makes her an asset to the team, embodying the Misfits' unconventional and resourceful approach to heroism.
