Powers

Sand Form: Dust has the ability to convert himself into a destructive sand blast by simultaneously transforming the substance of his body into loose silicon particles and creating an explosive release at his centre, expelling his sandy mass at high velocity in all directions, then causing his particles to reassemble themselves back into his human form.
With apparent telepathic control, he can then move at high velocity resembling a sand storm. The sand storm effect is strong enough to destroy steel and rip the flesh from one's bones; this is helped by the microscopic edges of the sand particles acting as tiny blades. He can also enter people's lungs and scour them from the inside.

Telepathic Resistance: Dust is very hard to telepathically detect or influence while in her sand-like form, even for powerful telepaths
Enhanced Durability: Dust's skin, bone, and muscle are augmented to make it stronger and harder than human; impervious to injury to a certain extent.
