at least 70mph, though her top speed was unrevealed.

amputation and she is currently psychologically unhinged and still
feels "phantom wings" despite her wings no longer being present.

History:
(X-Statix I#7 (fb) - BTS) - During her law school days, student Sharon
Ginsberg kept her mutant bat-like wings hidden, making it hard to make
friends.
(X-Men: Earth's Mutant Heroes - Sharon Ginsberg entry
- BTS) - Sharon obtained her JD in law.
(X-Statix I#2 (fb) - BTS) - Some time after becoming
an attorney, Sharon took a job for the talent agency Solomon O'Sullivan
Enterprises advising Solomon O'Sullivan in his fight to keep his
contractee Venus Dee Milo from joining the celebrity mutant group
X-Statix.
(X-Statix I#2) - Sharon Ginsberg forced her way into X-Statix Headquarters and presented X-Statix owner Spike Freeman with a court order on the behalf of Solomon O'Sullivan forbidding Venus Dee Milo from joining X-Statix.
(X-Statix I#3) - Sharon Ginsberg then introduced herself and announced her authorization on behalf of Solomon O'Sullivan Enterprises to extend membership in Solomon's O-Force to Venus Dee Milo. When Venus argued that she was already on X-Statix, Ginsberg presented Spike Freeman with a copy of Venus Dee Milo's contract with Solomon O'Sullivan that Venus had signed in her younger days. Ginsberg then warned that if Venus Dee Milo did anything remotely considered participating with X-Statix, she would personally make sure Venus would be begging on the streets within a month. X-Statix team leader Mister Sensitive responded by tearing up the contract but a smiling Ginsberg informed Mister Sensitive that he had only tore up a copy and announced her plans to see him in court.
(X-Statix I#7 (fb) - BTS) - Larry, the man who operated the satellite tracking system utilized by X-Statix, became infatuated with Sharon Ginsberg after she used her mutant wings in a way that pleased him.
(X-Statix I#4) - When Venus Dee Milo later teleported
Spike Freeman into Solomon O'Sullivan's offices, Sharon Ginsberg
immediately into contractual arguments with Mr. Freeman, claiming Venus
was in direct breach of her contract with O'Sullivan. Freeman argued
with Ginsberg for a few moments before sidestepping Ginsberg to speak
with Solomon O'Sullivan directly, pointing out that Venus was needed to
help keep O'Sullivan's O-Force team from getting slaughtered by
reality-altering mutant Arnie Lundberg
in Minnesota. Worried about O-Force and the increasingly confusing
messages appearing on his skin due to his mutant power, O'Sullivan was
eventually convinced to sign a contract overriding his own with Venus,
allowing her to work for and join X-Statix despite warnings from Sharon
Ginsberg, who called O'Sullivan a loser. After X-Statix went into
battle against Arnie, Sharon Ginsberg departed Solomon's offices and
witnessed Solomon O'Sullivan get attacked by a mob angry about
O-Force's public destruction by Arnie.
(X-Statix I#9 (fb) - BTS) - Thinking about X-Statix
and their ability to be happy and at peace with their mutant powers,
Sharon Ginsberg reluctantly decided to reveal her mutant powers in
public.
(X-Statix I#4) - Sharon Ginsberg freed her wings and rescued Solomon O'Sullivan from the mob. As the two flew off, Sharon revealed her plans to bring down X-Statix and warned that if Solomon didn't agree to help her, she would drop him. Fearing for his life, O'Sullivan agreed to help Ginsberg take down X-Statix.
(X-Statix I#6) - While the world was deciding whether they liked Mister Sensitive as a good Guy Smith or a bad Guy Smith, Sharon Ginsberg and Solomon O'Sullivan watched the public discussion on the Lacuna & the Stars television talk show. When O'Sullivan commented that the public would finish Mister Sensitive and noted that X-Statix seemed to be falling apart without them even having to lift a finger, Sharon suggested they could speed up the process. O'Sullivan responded by asking what Sharon had in mind but Sharon tabled the discussion for another time in favor of another bedroom romp with O'Sullivan, who wasn't sure he had the energy so soon after their last rendezvous. A flirty Sharon suggested that anything could be possible since O'Sullivan was a mutant.
(X-Statix I#7) - After the appearance of Bad Guy, a
villain the world thought was secretly Guy Smith, Sharon plotted with
Solomon O'Sullivan against X-Statix under this mistaken assumption.
When O'Sullivan began expressed concern for the confusing messages
appearing on his skin, Sharon sarcastically suggested O'Sullivan was
suffering from male menopause before apologizing and explained her
sarcasm as a response to O'Sullivan obsession with his skin. Sharon
then reiterated her plans to join forces with Bad Guy to destroy
X-Statix. When asked how she would manage such a feat, Sharon explained
how she would take advantage of Larry, an X-Statix associate who was
infatuated with her, to get a head start on Bad Guy before X-Statix
could confront him. O'Sullivan then asked why Larry was infatuated with
Sharon and she began to tell O'Sullivan what she did to Larry using her
wings but O'Sullivan quickly announced that he'd heard enough of the
story. Later, after successfully informed of Bad Guy's whereabouts from
Larry, Sharon Ginsberg met Bad Guy and, still thinking he was Guy
Smith, proposed her deal of working together. Bad Guy answered by
ripping off Sharon's wings and leaving her bleeding out in an alley.
(X-Statix I#8) - As X-Statix relaxed poolside following the destruction of Bad Guy, Solomon O'Sullivan arrived at their headquarters carrying the unconscious body of Sharon Ginsberg. X-Statix's Dr. Brian Swaine, the X-Men's Professor X and their medical team rushed Sharon onto a gurney and wheeled her away. When O'Sullivan asked about Sharon's wings, Dr. Swaine suggested they focus on saving her life first. O'Sullivan solemnly thanked Mister Sensitive for helping Sharon and Mister Sensitive promised Sharon was in good hands.
(X-Statix I#9 (fb) - BTS) - Professor X and his
medical team operated on Sharon Ginsberg throughout the night and even
attempted to re-graft her wings back on but they ultimately decided to
stop attempts to reattach the wings rather than continue to risk
Sharon's life.
(X-Statix I#9) - While recovering, Sharon Ginsberg
awoke to find her wings gone. Solomon O'Sullivan explained how
Professor X had saved her life after operating on her throughout the
night. Sharon weakly asked about her wings but O'Sullivan informed her
that her wings couldn't be saved. Sharon insisted she could still feel
her wings and when O'Sullivan explained how she was feeling "phantom
wings" and how attempts to reattach the wings were abandoned in favor
of saving her life, Sharon blamed X-Statix for her condition.
O'Sullivan then explained how X-Statix had helped her and how he had
forgiven them for any past perceived transgressions but Sharon admitted
she had not forgiven them, only to discover that she was restrained to
her bed. O'Sullivan informed Sharon that she was restrained due to
potential psychological fallout from her experiences and that her
instability might manifest itself in harmful ways. Breaking free of her
restraints despite Solomon O'Sullivan's warnings, the psychological
unstable and angry Sharon Ginsberg manifested razor-sharp claws on her
fingertips and plunged them into O'Sullivan, killing him before
escaping from the hospital.
Desiring revenge on X-Statix,
Sharon made her way to the set of the X-Statix movie, where she
encountered Lennox Capriati and several other actors on the film. Her
unhinged mind thinking the actors were the real X-Statix, Sharon
announced her plans to destroy X-Statix and when the actor playing the
Anarchist asked Sharon about her bleeding back, she hurled the actor
through the trailer of Rimi Withnail, drawing the attention of the real
Mister Sensitive, who was meeting with Withnail. Sharon then killed
Lennox Capriati and the actor playing Vivisector before Mister
Sensitive arrived on the scene, rescuing the actor playing him. Shocked
at the state of Sharon Ginsberg, Mister Sensitive asked what had
happened to her and the insane Sharon claimed X-Statix had caused her
current situation by making her feel like she didn't have to hide her
powers.
(X-Statix I#9/X-Statix I#11 (fb)) - Hurling Mister
Sensitive aside, Sharon went in for the kill, only to be hit from
behind by another movie actor, the mutant el Guapo, who had flown his
flying skateboard into Sharon, knocking her out and apprehending her.
(X-Statix I#9) - Mister Sensitive later related the story of Sharon Ginsberg's attack and his rescue at the hands of el Guapo to the rest of X-Statix, where he nominated el Guapo for X-Statix membership.
(X-Statix I#11 - BTS) - X-Statix viewed footage of el Guapo apprehending Sharon Ginsberg as they discussed recruiting el Guapo onto the team.
(X-Men: Earth's Mutant Heroes - Sharon Ginsberg entry
- BTS) - Sharon Ginsberg possibly earned a criminal record following
her attack on the X-Statix movie set.

2) the guard in Professor X's lab housing special costumes and 3) the
guy in charge of X-Statix's satellite tracking system who was
infatuated with Sharon Ginsberg (subprofiled below).
