Power Girl exhibits most of the classic Kryptonian powers of Superman on Earth: super-strength, flight, invulnerability, X-ray vision, heat vision, and super-hearing. The specific scope of these abilities have changed drastically over the years as she has been changed from being an true Earth-Two dimensional being to now being a blending of the two realities as she now appears to be.
Kryptonian Physiology: Power Girl's cellular structure is more dense, resilient and biologically more effective than Earth human tissue. Under conditions native to Krypton, she does not seem to possess superhuman strength levels despite her enhanced cellular ability. Unlike Kal-L the Earth-Two Superman whose powers were explained as natural to his physiology and not needing yellow sun energy to continue at his superhuman levels in red sun systems, without constant exposure to solar energy, Kara's strength seems on par for a human of her height and weight who engages in regular physical activity thus making her more like the current Superman than her cousin Kal-L. She does possess several additional organs, the function of which are not yet disclosed or understood but are believed to be part of and perhaps even the source of her biomatrix force field and reclamation aura. Power Girl has manifested a wide range of metahuman abilities and is considered to be one of the most powerful metahumans alive. Power Girl's body also actively stores energy within her bio-cellular matrix as an energy pattern that is linked to her body's electromagnetic field. This energy powers most of Power Girl's electromagnetic capabilities such as flight and heat vision. It also supplements her physical strength roughly by a factor of 12,000.
Solar Energy Absorption: Over the years this basis has changed with Kara-L originally being a Kryptonian of the Earth-Two dimension, her powers originally were based on her own body generated energies, as Kryptonians native to the original Earth-Two dimension possessed powers on their red sun planet. Later Kara-L's powers were changed to reflect the current incarnation of Superman whereby her powers are supposedly the result of yellow sun radiation charging. This is a point of contention currently for Power Girl's powers are supposed to reflect that of her cousin Kal-L whose superpowers operate regardless of yellow sun radiation rather than that of the current primary Superman, though it seems that her powers do reflect that of the current Superman as her powers do seem to fluctuate under red sun as recently shown in her time in the New Kandor where she was operating without her superpowers.
Superhuman Strength: Her physical strength is greatly magnified by the combination of her more-efficient muscular system and the enhancement of her skeletal system's structural integrity, but is primarily augmented by the sheer force of her solar forcefield. It is unknown what her top limit is but it is suggested to at least be above the 100 ton level while charged. Continual exertion will deplete her solar energy, and greatly exceeding her normal lift will drain him more rapidly. At the level of complete solar depletion, Power Girl can lift/exert no more than a normal human female who engages in regular intense exercise.
Invulnerability: Power Girl's body is nigh-invulnerable (for instance, she has survived low yield nuclear explosions). Recently in her battle with Goth, Kara was shown to have been badly burned, possibly reflective of the lower superpower levels of the Earth-Two Kryptonians as compared to other Kryptonians. Thus her invulnerability levels are shown to have been lowered than previously suggested. The most common explanations for her invulnerability are the possession of a super-dense molecular structure and/or a supercharged bioelectric "aura" which acts as an invisible "force field" around her body within a few millimeters from her skin, and presumably within her body as well. The proximity of this field to her skin means that loose clothes, for example, may be burned off of her, while cloth that is close to her body is protected by the "aura."
* Healing: Kara-L has been shown to have adapted a healing ability to compensate for her lower invulnerability levels as she was shown to have completely recovered from severe burns she received while in battle with Goth. It is unknown if say she were to be subjected to nuclear heat levels if her ability would heal her faster than the injury could overcome such recuperative ability.
* Super Immunity: In addition, her immune system protects her from most toxins and diseases.
Superhuman Stamina: Power Girl's body stores and processes solar energy at a rapid rate and for a variety of effects, which are explained in her other powers. Her storage capacity is unknown though appears to allow her to perform at her full capacity for an undetermined period of time. However she has been shown that she does need to rest on a regular basis even when charged. [4] This condition again seems to indicate a blending of her Earth-Two Kryptonian nature (who needed to rest to regather their bio-energies) with that of New Earth Kryptonians.
Flight: Kara-L has the ability to through a conscious act of will cause herself to repel local gravity about herself to engage in flight. It is unknown at present whether her power is a result of mental or physical ability. What is known is that she can generate gravitational fields that allow her to move herself and extremely large and massive objects off the surface of the Earth. Her precise top speed is unknown but is know to be at least supersonic. In her current form as an DC Primary universe being, she has NOT been shown to attain escape velocity and enter into outer space under her own power. Also unlike her dimensional counterpart, Kara-L has not been shown at present to descend back to Earth from outer space and land on Earth though is suggested to be able to do this.
However in recent times, Kara-L has been shown to be different from Supergirl in many ways. Kara-L's control of her flight is highly precise as she can perform aerobatic feats such as hovering, flying backwards and even lifting great weights while flying.
Superhuman Speed: Similarly, Power Girl's enhanced metabolic rate, muscular speed, and nervous system grant her incredible speed. Her Kryptonian structure and the solar energy paths that course along her neurophysical structure allow her to react at many times normal human speed. She can read a complete encyclopedia set in seconds, wash a sink full of dishes in the blink of an eye. She can move faster than the human eye can perceive if necessary, but this requires extra effort. Her reflexes are quick enough to allow her to dodge most projectile weapons.
Power Girl's perceptions are similarly rapid, allowing her to see individual bullets fired from high-speed automatic weaponry in flight and outrace them easily. Moving at extreme speeds for extended periods of time rapidly drains her solar reserves. In a full drained state, her reflexes are only sufficient enough to dodge semi-automatic projectile weapons and read the encyclopedia set in under 10 minutes.
Freeze Breath: The ability to create hurricane force winds by blowing, and to chill her breath in order to freeze a target.
Super Breath: can breathe in large amounts of air, an ability used when dealing with and disposing things like clouds of poison gas.
Super Ventriloquism: She can modulate her voice to transmit on radio or microwave/radar frequencies, and can expel a minute amount of air in space at a warm enough temperature and speed to carry sub-vocalized sound directly to one or more targets.
Super Enhanced Senses: The enhanced structure of Power Girl's sensory organs combined with the increased capacity of her nervous system provides for the greatly enhanced senses. Her range of hearing extends from the subsonic through to the point where signal modulation in broadcast communications can be sensed and demodulated into "sounds". Her visual reception range covers the entirety of the electromagnetic spectrum.
* Superhuman Hearing: The ability to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. The only Earth creature who can detect sounds at the frequency she can is a blue whale (0.01-200,000 Hz). She has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency. Power Girl was able to detect disturbances in the frequency the human brain operates.
* Telescopic Vision: The ability to "zoom in" her distance to see something at a great distance, which at times violate real-world laws of physics such as seeing back to the source of an object when the light emanating source has stopped broadcasting and seeing faster than light speed. The total telescopic ability is unrecorded, but presumably limited to some extent.
* Microscopic Vision: Power Girl can use the gravitational fields generated by the muscles in her eyes to produce a gravity lens, allowing her to focus far beyond the range of the human eye. Combined with Power Girl's sensitivity to light, she can magnify an image a virtually countless number of times. She can perceive far smaller objects than the best conventional optical microscopes, which presumably means she can percieve using a medium other than ligh waves.
* X-Ray Vision: Kara-L is able to look through most solids objects. The precise method is unknown as she does not specifically look between atoms. She also can not look through massively dense objects or materials, pecifically including lead.
* Heat Vision: Kara-L has the ability to generate concentrated lines of force from her body along her eye area. This act is a conscious act of energy manipulation from all observed events and not an expulsion of energy from her retinas. She focuses light along various frequencies in a continuous release that she is able to contain mentally as she has been shown with the energy actively contained around her eyes before releasing it or allowing it to disperse. Power Girl can control her heat vision and direct it wherever she can look. She cannot use the power without opening her eyes to direct the energy, nor has she been observed to be able to project this energy from any other part of her body in this manner. The heat beams are mentally controlled and that control is apparently reflexive, so she can shut it off without accidentally damaging anything that she does not want to. She can emit the radiation visibly or invisibly at lower settings. Her energy has a high visibility profile if emitted at higher levels.
* Electro-magnetic Spectrum Vision: can see well into most of the EM Spectrum. She can see and identify radio/television and any and all broadcast/transmitted frequencies, allowing her to avoid detection through radar or satellite monitoring methods. Power Girl can see the paranormal aura that every living thing generates. Her ability allows her to see in total darkness and detect the heat signatures of living beings, and of electronic devices in operation.
Abilities
Master Combatant Kara-L has trained with several notable direct combatants including her teammate Wildcat who is a world renowned boxer and hand to hand combatant.
Super Intelligence: Power Girl has shown enhanced memorization, intelligence and computational abilities; her mind works sharply and with extreme speed. Her analytical powers are impressive — she is able to use her senses to read information directly from machines (and, with careful usage of her heat vision, she can even reprogram certain machines).
