- Telekinesis: Tezca has shown considerable skill to be able to move objects with her minds. She was able to levitate objects and even move people, such as Renata Arellano, when she shapeshifted into her. She was even able to move rocks, as she did in the caves underneath Roswell.
- Shapeshifting: Tezca can shapeshift into other people. Tezca can shapeshift, and she is the first alien to show this ability. Even when she shapeshifts, her tattoo of an alien symbol on her wrist remains present. So far, Tezca has had physical contact with the people whose form she has taken. When she uses her power, she touches the person and her eyes glow purple. For the person whose form Tezca copies, their eyes turn blue after Tezca uses her power on them. Their eyes remain blue, possibly indefinitely; Renata Arellano's eyes are still blue days after Tezca used her power on her.[2]
