Powers
Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of
a "yellow" sun, Kara possesses the same potential powers as an
average Kryptonian. These include:
Solar Energy Absorption: Under optimal
conditions, this is the main source of Kara's super powers as they are
contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Her
biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogs in humans and
whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these
and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for
later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar
radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
Heat Vision: Kara can, as a conscious act,
fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat
and area affected.
Super-Hearing: Kara's hearing is sensitive
enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration,
she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
Enhanced Vision Kara's vision processes the
entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective
perception and focus.
This umbrella ability includes the
following:
Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision: Kara can
see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio
and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted
frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite
monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living
thing.
Telescopic Vision: This is the ability to
see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics.
Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function,
it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
X-Ray Vision: This is the ability to see
through any volume of matter except lead. Kara's can see things behind a solid,
opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel
back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be
observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or
some other energy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. This ability
perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye
projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from
objects.
Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to
see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
Infrared Vision: Kara's can see with better
acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
Flight: Kara is able to manipulate graviton
particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from
hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of
her dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Kara is
nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, she extends this
protection against toxins and diseases.
Superhuman Stamina: Kara is able to
maintain a continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of
time. This based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to
energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink,
and sleep.
Superhuman Strength: Kara's strength is
augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human
density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her strength
is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical
strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables her to perform physical
feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountaintop
without said rock crumbling under its own mass.
Superhuman Speed: Kara is able to move at
incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and
allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid-flight as well as covering
vast distances in little or no time.
This also confers:
Superhuman Agility
Superhuman Reflexes
Super-Breath: Kara is able to create
hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as
it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull
large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
Sonic Screams In order to get out of a trap
created by Cyborg Superman, Kara disrupted the frequency of the machine by screaming
at a certain frequency.
Abilities
Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Kara was
taught how to fight in Krypton as part of her trials and in Crucible Academy.
Multilingualism: Kara can speak fluent
English and Kryptonian. She has been studying all Earth's languages but she
thinks she is bad at most of them.
Genius Level Intellect
Weaknesses
Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of
a "yellow" sun, Kara possesses the same potential weaknesses as an
average Kryptonian. These include: Vulnerability to Kryptonite, Vulnerability
to Magic and
Vulnerability to Sensory Overload:
Supergirl's sensitive sense can be overpowered, such as when Lobo tossed a
sonic grenade under her feet and knocked her unconscious.
Weapons: Red Lantern Ring (formerly)
