Powers and Abilities
Like all natives of the planet Bgztl, Phantom Girl (in all her incarnations) has the ability to turn intangible (phase). Bgztl (depending on the incarnation) either exists in or is connected with the extra-dimensional space known as the Phantom Zone. She has demonstrated the ability to phase with split second timing, and is also capable of phasing certain parts of her body selectively (a feat most Bgztlians cannot duplicate). While phased, she is immune to physical harm, can maneuver through solid objects and fly under her own power. She is also immune to most energy blasts and radiation, though writers have been inconsistent regarding her vulnerability to attacks utilizing the air (i.e., poisonous gas). She has additionally demonstrated the ability to disrupt the workings of electronic devices by moving through them while phased. Finally, she has inconsistently demonstrated the ability under certain circumstances to perceive inhabitants or objects located in the Phantom Zone while in a phased state, including Mon-El during his periods of imprisonment.
The 2005 "Threeboot" version of Phantom Girl can selectively phase her perceptions back to Bgztl while using her power; in this way, she will appear to individuals on on our plane of existence, but actually be interacting with individuals and the environment on Bgztl.
