One mutation was apparent at birth. They weren't just eating ravenously. They were also absorbing energy through their skin from anything remotely edible. This increased their speed and regeneration - challenging but manageable for the parents with a strict diet and environment. When the twins became verbal, they were adamant that they were a single person. Evidence of any kind to the contrary simply made 'her' laugh. It was then that Rita began to question what she had always assumed was due to their heightened speed. Sometimes, it seemed as though Anna or Maria had moved past her without her seeing. She started to suspect they might, in some way, actually be in two places at once. In her nightmares, she dreamed that she had triplets or quadruplets and she’d misplaced one or another of them. Powers AnnaMaria has at least two powerful mutations. She is a walking space-time anomaly and can absorb and redirect energy. Many casual observers wonder WHO exactly Anna? Maria? AnnaMaria? is. Is there one, two, three of 'her'? SubGenetics scientists suggest the better question is ‘WHEN?’ Contrary to AnnaMaria’s own assertions of singular personhood, her in utero sonograms suggest she initially indeed had two bodies. While she often appears as three or more AnnaMarias, that is her time manipulation, even if it is apparently reflexive and oddly a metacognitive blind spot. Mercifully perhaps, though AnnaMaria could starve someone to death in a matter of minutes with her absorption powers, most foes that face AnnaMaria succumb to their own weapons, their bullets for example moved in time-space to shoot themselves in the back. Those that are immune to their own powers, have their energies converted to something they are not immune to. Some simply trip over things that hadn’t been there a second ago.
