Powers and Abilities
The Matrix from the Pocket Universe was a protoplasmic life-form and had a malleable genome, so she could assume any humanoid form of similar mass. Her primary power was telekinesis which she could use to move objects with her mind and enhance her strength, physical durability, and speed to superhuman levels. By levitating herself, she could fly at supersonic speeds. She could cloak herself (becoming both invisible and inaudible, even to Superman's super hearing). She could focus her psychokinesis into devastating force blasts, or extend a psionic barrier around others to shield them from harm. She could even use her psi-power to rearrange the molecular structure of fabrics, and alter clothing and costumes with her thoughts (an ability that enabled her to change her clothing when she changed shape, and turn a Kryptonian recovery suit into a new costume for Superman). However, she lost her shapeshifting powers and cloaking after the merge with Linda Danvers, as she now possessed the psychological boundaries of a human woman, having defined herself as Linda and Supergirl to give herself an 'alpha and omega'.
