Supergirl's powers and abilities

Powers

Kryptonian Physiology Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Supergirl possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:

  • Solar Energy Absorption While Supergirl's powers are dependent on the energy spectrum from a yellow sun, her body is able to constantly and passively absorb such energy while exposed to it, essentially keeping her reserves fully charged near-constantly. Direct exposure to the light of a yellow sun will also accelerate her recovery from any injuries she does manage to sustain. Also, she can quickly regain her full power by small sun radiation like during nighttime on Maldoria and even in Master Jailer's prison despite powerful red sun radiation, just a small amount of yellow sun radiation makes her godly powerful despite presence of red sun radiation.

  • Accelerated Healing Factor Supergirl's metabolism is tremendously enhanced by solar energy, allowing accelerated healing abilities and burning calories at a superhuman rate, making her practically immune to becoming fat or obese. Upon being struck by an alien war hammer which penetrated the skin of her arm, when the piece was removed she healed instantly. She often enjoys the luxuries of eating a variety of foods without fear of becoming obese.

  • Contaminant immunity Supergirl has an immunity to all forms of disease and contaminants on Earth. However, despite being unable to be inebriated or intoxicated by drugs or alcohol from Earth, she has shown herself to have a particularly low tolerance to alien alcohol. Additionally, Pestilence's virus wasn't as effective on Supergirl compared to humans, as the Worldkiller needed to scratch Supergirl multiple times on her face and arms before the latter began feeling sick.

  • Heat Vision Supergirl 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 Supergirl'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.

  • Flight Supergirl 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, Supergirl is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, her extends this protection against toxins and diseases.

  • Superhuman Stamina Supergirl is able to maintain 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 Supergirl'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 mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.

  • Superhuman Speed Supergirl 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.

  • Superhuman Agility
  • Superhuman Reflexes
  • Super-Breath Supergirl 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.

  • Longevity Supergirl can live longer than regular humans, remaining at her prime as long as she was under the exposure of the "yellow" sun.

Abilities

High Intelligence Expert Combatant Since joining the D.E.O., Kara has been taught by Alex to better handle herself in battle against opponents with formidable powers of their own, including using their own momentum against them. Ultimately, even with her powers temporarily disabled, Kara has become a highly trained combatant, able to compete against the more experienced Alex and Astra. As the years progressed, her combat skills continued to improve, allowing Kara to hold her own against Indigo and defeat Maxima in their first battles. Her proficiency in combining combat skills with her raw might became great enough to even defeat her cousin, Clark Kent in one-on-one combat and even fight on par with Rhea while weakened by Green Kryptonite. Kara was able to fight evenly with Reign for a while, though was ultimately overwhelmed due to the latter's superior strength. After being trained by Mon-El, Kara has started using her cape in combat. Her fighting style incorporates Boxing, Krav Maga, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Hapkido, Aikido, Karate, Muay Thai, Judo, and Pro Wrestling.

Indomitable Will Kara is a very determined individual and never gives up on trying to protect Earth. She has a remarkable tolerance for pain, as even when weakened by Rhea's Green Kryptonite-laced blood, Kara was able to resist and keep fighting Rhea. With Alex's help, Kara was also able to overcome to Psi's psychic attacks. Kara was also able to conceal some Kryptonite on her person despite the pain, which she used to incapacitate Reign. During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Kara was revealed to be the Paragon of Hope.
