Powers and Abilities
Orana is trained in high levels of hand-to-hand combat, but as Princess Diana noted during the tournament, Orana relies more on brute force than actual skill.
Orana possesses super strength, tremendous leaping ability and high levels of endurance. Also like her fellow Amazons, she possessed the ability to glide on air currents.
While she was Wonder Woman, she used the Lasso of Truth.
Orana is trained in the art of deflecting bullets with her bracelets, but is not nearly as proficient or disciplined as Princess Diana.
Orana, like all the other amazons on Paradise Island, was blessed with eternal youth and great beauty. She lost her immunity from aging once she left the Island to become the "New Wonder Woman".
Like all other Amazons from the Pre-Crisis era, Orana loses her powers if her wrists are bound by a man. If her bracelets are ever broken, she would fly into a berserk fury.
In spite of her super-human abilities, Orana can be harmed by mortal weapons. In her first major battle as the "New Wonder Woman" she failed to protect herself from bullets shot at her and was killed.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“He who is conversant with the supernal powers will not worship these inferior deities of the wind, waves, tide, and sunshine. But we would not disparage the importance of such calculations as we have described. They are truths in physics because they are true in ethics.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
