It's the standard Berserker power set. Not really. It's far more technical and apparently tied to how many times she actually gets hit and not her rage; i.e, when the Atlesian mech smashed her a few times, she soaked it up and used that energy to hit back with the same force the machine smashed her with. Which was my reasoning for the Shaw comparison.

@EmbraceTheHood Yeah, that would make sense, though I dunno how Mercury's gonna capitalize on it. Like, he outmaneuvers her and lands a bunch of kicks, aaaaaand then what? Every one that lands makes Yang faster, stronger and more durable until she annihilates him. Most berserkers in fiction's power is based off of how much damage they take AND rage.

And there's also no proof that her semblance hits back with as much as she takes. She clearly has much more power than what actually hit her. Otherwise her second punch wouldn't have completely demolished the mech despite not getting hit again. Actually, if her semblance (which i have taken to calling Karma) does deal out what she takes in, and the power of her hits are based chronologically by how she's been hit, the first hit from the mech smashed her into a pillar, but the second hit sent her through it, which means it had more power, therefore her second hit would be able to punch and demolish the mech, assuming she is able to control how much kinetic energy she releases in each strike.
