| Nano Shifting: Her nano-technological carapace enables Omega numerous mechanism morphing capabilities from generating Plasma Coils, Electrostatic Poles, Plasma Torches, Energy Guns to life Support, Machine Interface, Hologram Projection, Threat Adaptation and more. |
| Nanite Regeneration: Omega has the ability to repair any physical injury/damage she receives, she is also repaired so that she is stronger and more durable than she was before she suffered damage. |
| Adaptivity: Once assaulted in some manner or another and after having recuperated from it, Omega's Omega Prime Sentinel tech memorises the damage dealt onto it and alters her frame to develops a tough resistance to recurring injury. |

She also has an access store of various functions pertaining to her Omega Prime Sentinel programming which enables her to activate a host of protocols and functions of her biomorphic person. This includes satellite modem access, long-range interactive holograms, target identification and acquisition locks. |

| Karima Shapandar was an Indian National Police officer who has been infected with Omega Sentinel technology and has become a machine equipped with state-of-the-art technology aimed at exterminating mutants. Thanks to the efforts of Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto, she overcame her lethal programming and was able to put use of her Sentinel devices to help mutantkind. |
| Eventually, Shapandar became a member of a controversial team of X-Men led by Rogue. Her association with the X-Men led her to have her systems corrupted and possessed by different antagonists, namely the Marauder Malice and the primal villain Arkea. Regardless, the Omega Sentinel was able to fight her molesters and side with the X-Men to combat them. |
| However, her infection still led her to turn against mutants. Supplanted by a complete machine version of herself who had experienced mutant dominance over machines, the Omega Sentinel was responsible for sparking the creation of Orchis, an anti-mutant powerful organization which influentially attacks mutants both directly and indirectly. |
