Powers and Abilities
Power Princess possesses superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes as a result of the advanced eugenic practices of the Utopians. Zarda is considered the third strongest super-being on her Earth, with Hyperion and Redstone being first and second, respectively.
She can fly, although her upper limits are not established. She possesses a great deal of physical resilience and durability: she is able to withstand repeated blows redirected from Hyperion. She sometimes wears a suit of golden battle armor made of a steel alloy, built by Tom Thumb, to enhance her natural resilience.
Power Princess carries a transparent circular shield made of an undisclosed substance which is extremely durable. In some as yet undisclosed manner the shield provides lift and propulsion to enable Power Princess to fly while in contact with it. Its flight speed is subsonic. She wears bracelets and armbands on both arms; the left arm's pair attaches itself to her invisible shield when flying.
As a Utopian, she ages far more slowly than normal humans. In the Exiles series, she states that she does not age at all.
Power Princess has extensive experience in hand-to-hand combat (according to her, she has over five centuries of combat experience), and is skilled in discus throwing. She has undergone advanced graduate level studies in both Utopia Isle and Cosmopolis.
The Utopians are an experiment by the alien Kree of the Earth-Squadron's dimension to produce a genetically superior breed of human being. On the mainstream Earth, this genetic offshoot became known as the Inhumans following the use of the Terrigen Mist upon the populace. On Earth-Squadron, the Utopians never discovered the Terrigen Mist.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“For human nature, being more highly pitched, selved, and distinctive than anything in the world, can have been developed, evolved, condensed, from the vastness of the world not anyhow or by the working of common powers but only by one of finer or higher pitch and determination than itself.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“No matter what one says, you can recognize only those matters that are equal to you. Only rulers who possess extraordinary abilities will recognize and esteem properly extraordinary abilities in their subjects and servants.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
