Powers and Abilities
Flint's skin is rock-hard, and she seems to be pretty much invulnerable (her skin is said to be the hardest thing known to science). Bullets affect her about as much as a stiff rain, and even a rocket can at most knock her back and damage her costume. Dropping her from a great height will result in a crater and an unfazed Flint. She does seem more vulnerable to energy weapons. Her skin can also be damaged by concentrated molecular acid, though it will not be destroyed completely and the scarring will repair itself given sufficient time.
Although she doesn't display extreme super-strength, her blows have impressive power - presumably a combination of her strength, speed and rock-hard hands. She can behead a normal man in a single punch, and has been known to kill bulletproof superhumans with a good rush-by punch to the jaw.
In recent years, Flint has displayed super-speed - she can do easy things faster than humanly possible (such as changing clothes), and is superhumanly good at catching projectiles in mid-flight. She is also very proficient at grabbing large objects and throwing them with great fluidity, power and accuracy.
She is able to create a brutal, vectorized shockwave by slamming her hands together - the resultant blast of pressurized air was enough to break the back of a cybernetically enhanced man.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
“We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
