But that's the catch, isn't it? Allison doesn't have the best powers: her powers are really good for fighting other people with superpowers. They aren't really useful for anything else, hence her lack of direction for much of the series. Max has a power than can actually help other people, as do Feral and Patrick to a lesser extent. Allison wants to fix the problems she sees in the world, but she doesn't really have any ability to do so beyond what normal people can do.
