Quantum Perception enhances Jessica's sensory capabilities beyond normal human limits. Initially manifesting as night vision, this power allows her to perceive the world with extraordinary clarity in low-light conditions. As Jessica hones this ability, she can potentially sharpen her other senses, tapping into a realm of heightened awareness. This power synergizes with her scientific expertise, enabling her to observe and analyze phenomena that others might miss, from microscopic details to subtle energy fluctuations.
