Powers: Although she enjoyed her work as a psychiatry resident, Sheila always had a nagging feeling that it wasn't what she was really meant to do with her life. Her suspicions were confirmed when a flash of strange insight revealed to her true origin and destiny. Despite her initial fears that she was becoming psychotic, Sheila later learned that she was actually a member of an extra-terrestrial race of cosmic sentinels called the Skyelyrians and that she had been placed on earth to safeguard its inhabitants from evil. Like all members of the Skyelyrian race Oracle is able to integrate her mind with the fabric of space and time giving her what her race calls 'cosmic awareness'. This ability allows Oracle to see everything in the universe for a brief period of time. In order to become cosmically aware, Oracle must enter into a trance-like state of meditation. As such, Oracle cannot use this ability in the heat of battle as it requires intense concentration and would leave her vulnerable to attack. During times of great need however, Oracle receives flashes of 'cosmic insight' that warn her of danger to herself or those under her protection. Seeing everything in the universe is an overwhelming experience and Skyelyrians find it so uncomfortable that they can only maintain cosmic awareness for an instant, usually allowing them to find the information they are seeking but preventing them from becoming truly omniscient. Oracle's Skyelyrian physiology also allows her to fly and communicate telepathically.
