• Sensing Evil: Talisman need not cast a spell for this inherent power will automatically warn her of evil. This spell has an Incredible area of effect.
• Sensing Mystical Energies: This inherent power automatically tells her that magic is present. This ability has an Incredible area of effect and no FEAT roll is required.
• Special: Mystic Call: When Talisman wishes to summon members of the Alpha Flight team for help, she sends out an Amazing rank mystic call, which they all "feel." If she fails a power rank FEAT roll, the summons becomes a compulsion that the character is forced to obey. When she is in great danger, this call with an Unearthly range (all of Canada) automatically goes out to a character she knows can help her, usually her father.

• Nature Control - All: Twoyoungman's primary use of this power is to contact, summon, and/or control spiritual forms, such as using the spirits of the earth to cause an earthquake or the spirits of the air to generate gusts of wind. The spirits obey out of fear, although most often Twoyoungman entreats the entities rather than truly force her will upon them. She does this with Monstrous rank.

Initially Elizabeth does not like her father. She blames him for her mother's death and for "abandoning" her in the Mystic Pouch's dimension. She sought means to prove her powers' superiority to his (Shaman's) powers. Because she has insufficient control over her powers, Talisman may be a danger to her teammates.

As Time went on, she learned to accept that her father had duties beyond those of a paternal nature. They reconciled and she accepted her role as Talisman once more.

• Coronet of Enchantment: Permanently attached to her head, it helps her focus her energies as Talisman gaining a +1CS to all FEAT and power ranks for her spells.

Alpha Flight, Shaman.

The daughter of Alpha Flight's Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen, when Elizabeth was four years old her mother became deathly ill, her father promising save her as the mystic Shaman. He was not able to do so, however, and Elizabeth hated him for it. She grew up with a neighbouring family, the MacNeils, not talking to her father for over fifteen years. She called on his aid then because she believed that she had seen a spirit escape from an archaelogical dig where she was working. She turned to him because she knew that he was Shaman, despite the spell he had cast to keep himself from being recognized, which he wrote off to the blood of many shamans over hundreds of years flowing through her veins.

Through the course of their first adventure together though, it was revealed that she was in fact, a legendary figure, the Talisman. Elizabeth soon joined Alpha Flight as the second recruit never to be trained by Department H. She soon left the team though, after Shaman attempted to save both her and Snowbird, but was only able to save Snowbird and the Beyonder had to save Elizabeth. She then became extremely vengeful toward her father and called upon the spirits to trick him. She told them to direct him to a birthing place for Narya's baby that contained an evil spirit, Pestilence. She intended to defeat the spirit herself to show up her father, but it instead defeated her, and ripped her Talisman circlet of power from her forehead. Shaman grabbed the circlet and became Talisman II. Elizabeth subsequently went back to university to return to her studies. While at a dig, Elizabeth soon stumbled onto an ancient cairn, with a mystic object inside. Before she could touch it, she passed out. She was contacted through her dreams by Narya, who told her of the Dreamqueen and that she was coming to Earth and that only Elizabeth as Talisman could stop her. The mystic object would allow the Dreamqueen to control her if she touched it. She contacted Alpha Flight and soon became Talisman again. Elizabeth defeated the Dreamqueen, but soon realized her greatest challenge lay before her.

Elizabeth had to fight Llan, the Sorceror, a being who wanted to destroy earth. She and Alpha Flight were finally able to beat him with some help from Doctor Strange. Elizabeth soon went through a great trauma when, in an attempt to save the lives of several of the Master's experiments, she became a living filter for all the knowledge in Shaman's Medicine Pouch. This was too much for her brain, and overloaded her system, very nearly causing her to be brain-dead. After a great deal of work, however, ELizabeth finally recovered and once again became Talisman. After her recovery, Elizabeth began to feel extremely odd and distant, and thoughts of death clouded her mind. While wandering through a mall, she was attacked by the second Omega Flight. After they accosted her, Elizabeth realized that something had happened to her. She contacted her father, who helped her discover that the Ska'ar had escaped from their prison dimension. Working with Beta Flight, Elizabeth was able to battle the Master and Omega Flight and return the Ska'ar to their prison. Talisman then became a member of Beta Flight and slowly moved towards active membership in Alpha Flight once again.
