If I Was Yankee Poodle

Background

Rova Barkitt was a famous "Follywood" (back when DC Comics had an Earth-C in it's multiverse) celebrity gossip columnist until one day she was struck by a fragment of a meteor that had been exposed to unusual radiation and Superman. This resulted in her acquiring super powers and taking on the costumed identity of Yankee Poodle. She quickly joined up with Captain Carrot and the other animals empowered by the other meteor fragments who along with Superman were trying to get down to the bottom of why there was a strange barrier around Earth-C and why animals all around the world were devolving into their primitive animal selves or in other words acting like regular animals instead of the anthropomorphic animals they were. After the adventure was over the meteor powered anthropomorphic animals joined together as Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew and put their lives on the line to save Earth-C from danger and injustice.

Description

Rova is a white furred anthropomorphic poodle who wears a legless american flag inspired super suit including gloves and a mask.

Powers

According to Rova herself she has the power of "animal magnetism". Animal Magnetism seems to be a quasi-magnetic force that attracts and repels all matter not just ferromagnetic materials. In her case her animal magnetism manifests as blue stars from her right hand that repels objects and red and white stripes from her left hand that attract objects. The stars and stripes are described as being "semi-solid". I would assume that this means that they are composed of particles that carry the force of animal magnetism much in the way that "gravitons" carry the force of gravity. The stars themselves have never been depicted as being used for anything except repelling objects or propulsion unlike the stripes that have been used as ramps, bindings and protective cocoons. I mean she's hasn't even used them to hold a door open or to wedge a lever in place. On more than one occasion enemies with exceptional super anthropomorphic animal strength have grabbed the stripes and used them to throw her while she was trying to wrap them up with them. The stars and stripes can be combined to form one devastating attack essentially violently pulling the target in two directions at once. The attack is called her "Magno-Blast".

I'm not sure what the maximum output or range of her power is since she is a character in a "Funny Animal" comic, consistency isn't as important as the laugh you get from each given situation. I have seen her portrayed as easily being able to move and lift objects like cars and vans and has used her power with some strain to lift a giant armed and armored "hamster wheel" vehicle the height of a two story house off of the ground. She has created stripes over one hundred feet long trying to subdue giant opponents like Frogzilla and Kongaroo.

Her main mode of personal transportation is to create "bridges" of stripes beneath her as she travels and use the stars to propel her along them instead of running running over it. She has once used the stars alone to propel herself in flight but has not done so again. Her top range and speed are unknown but I assume it's quicker and more convenient than just hopping into a car and driving.

If I Was Yankee Poodle

I would think that salvage and demolition would be the way to go with these powers. Stabilize the structure with the stripes then use the stars to undercut the structure and let it fall in on itself. Afterwards I could pull the pieces of the structure apart with the stripes making it easier to haul it away.

Since leverage doesn't seem to be needed to use her attraction and repulsion powers, demonstrated when she pulled a car that she had caught with her stripes back up on the freeway overpass it fell off of without being dragged over the edge by the car's weight or inertia, I think salvage would be another great option for uses of this power set. I could haul objects from the water up onto a waiting boat without the objects pulling me under. I could even use the stars to propel me through the water and even drag whatever I was hauling with me. When I think about it that would make me awesome for coastguard work. People are drowning in the ocean and we can't lower a line to them then I just have to catch them with my stripes and haul them up to the rescue helicopter or boat.

Now since the stripes don't need any leverage neither should the stars. I could use them to push heavy objects as I walk behind them. I can picture it. Just walking, being bored, pushing a huge crate or broken down vehicle. I could use them to clear snow, and chip away ice off of objects in the winter time.

I could start a business offering rides .
