Destiny explains that this is because two precogs in close presence to one another "are like two magnets pressed together positive pole to positive pole" and will negatively affect one another's precognitive abilities and powers. Ruth also had a slew of other psychic abilities tied to her mutant powers which she had been developing since her early childhood. Possibly boasting an advanced intellect since she had developed a cognitive capacity for vocalization abilities at an early newborn age. Displaying Telekinesis and the ability to read and analyze all possible futures and probabilistic outcomes, but those powers were taken from her by her abusive brother's own ghostly projection which resulted in her impaired mind state. Over time however she has shown remarkable leaps in bounds with her initial ability, similar to Nate Grey, Blindfold can materialize Astral Plane Energy to give her own astral projection a tangible form. With some coaxing from David Haller would showcase herself an adequate match for other powerful telepaths such as the Stepford Cuckoos, and once at the fullest manifest of her powers were returned to her Ruth not only regained her mental stability but also the majority of her missing power. Being able to materialize energy from the Astral Plane as a form of psionic armor enabling her to battle the psionic entity that sprang forth from Legions damaged psyche. Mannerisms Blindfold has a unique speech pattern. It includes the odd insertion into her sentences of words of politeness, including "please," "thank you," "you're welcome," and "pardon." She's also been known to oddly insert the words "yes" and "no" into her sentences. The reason she has this pattern is explained in X-Men Legacy when Legion tries to wake her up from her coma: her brother, Luca, was a mutant hater and tried to kill her when she was little, but in a fit of rage, he killed their mother. Years later, Blindfold attended his execution and, just after he died, his astral projection attacked her and stole half of her powers, leaving her "broken". When telepathically projecting herself into Legion's mind in the same issue, Blindfold did not demonstrate this speech pattern, instead speaking in a normal manner and acting with more confidence than is usually the case. Given that she is both a telepath and a precognitive, she often answers questions before they are asked and responds to comments before they are spoken aloud.
