History: Kyla Ward was born in Chicago, IL to an attorney father and journalist mother. Kyla was frail and somewhat sickly as a child, never excelling in sports or athletics. However, Kyll had a brilliant mind and could understand her father's law books from an early age.
At age 12, Kyla entered adolescence and a startling change came over her. Up until then Kyla was nearsighted, but suddenly she could see better than a person with 20/20. The frail little girl changed as if overnight into an Olympic class athelete. Kyla's parents, both of whom were mutants expected their child to be so as well, but were shocked because their powers were mental in nature.
Taking Kyla to NY to see the noted mutant expert, Charles Xavier, he explained that Kyla was in fact, a telekinetic whose abilities were limited to controlling the molecules of her own body. Kyla began her studies at the Xavier's school for gifted youngsters where she joined the New Mutants.
Going through a variety of adventures, Kyla managed to graduate from Xavier's and do her college studies at Cornell University. Kyla then chose to follow her father into the law attending law school at the University of Chicago. After the Rikti invasion that devastated Paragon City in Rhode Island, Kyla moved to Paragon City to see how she could help.
She accepted a position as a Assistant Public Defender for the Paragon County Public Defender's Office. She also donned her New Mutant graduation costume and fought crime as Kyll. The name Kyll was chosen to contrast her hero persona from from the still shy lawyer who fights for her clients.
Kyll captures criminals and Kyla ensures they receive a fair trial. Kyll is boisterous and full or bravado, Kyla is shy and meek. The two sides of this hero give her, her strenght.
Kyll has tangled with many villains, but shows particular ire for the 5th column whose creed of racial purity is repugnant to Kyll.

Known Superhuman Powers: Kyll possesses the ability to instinctively and telekinetically control the molecules of her body to the molecular level.

Kyll can also move and run much faster than a normal human being. Finally, Kyll can fly at speeds up to 45 mph through making herself lighter than air. Her means of propulsion is unknown, but presumably it is an offshoot of the limited telekinesis that allows her to manipulate her body's molecules.
