==Personality==
===Cutie Honey manga===
Compared to her more carefree counterpart from the anime, Honey is more sophisticated and mature for girls her age. Like most teenage girls she is easily embarrassed when seen naked (which happens quite a lot in the series). Honey has a friendly, warm, and cute personality that attracts people to her regardless of age or gender even enemies like Sister Jill. She has a high sense of justice and is willing to fight for this view whether they are petty criminals or the vicious Panther Claw. In Cutie Honey 90s Honey becomes much more bold and shameless, using her attractive figure to her advantage.
===Cutie Honey (TV)/New Cutie Honey===
Honey is genuinely carefree and friendly. In class she acts in a manner similar to a "class clown" who likes to tease and pull pranks on teachers, employing much of the comic relief. Her attractive figure along with her personality made her popular among the other students regardless of gender. Honey loved her father and was very close to her roommate Natsuko Aki with their deaths by Panther Claw driving her to avenge them.
===Cutie Honey Flash===
Honey is well-mannered and friendly to the people she meets especially her best friend Natsuko Aki and her father. She strives to rescue her father from Panther Claw whenever the chance arises. When Honey met Seira, she wanted to be her friend in spite of her animosity and the revelation of Seira being Misty Honey. With the deaths of her father and Seira, Honey lost heart but strove to protect those who are precious to her. Honey is rather popular at her school, being called "Honey-Onesama" by her classmates.
===Cutie Honey a Go Go!===
Compared to similar counterparts, Honey has an innocent yet capable personality who loves and cherishes the bonds between her and the people close to her such as Dr. Kisaragi and Natsuko. When Dr. Kisaragi was killed by Panther Claw, she showed a vicious and deadly outlook that was only calmed by her father's last wish. Seeing the destruction caused by Panther Claw gave Honey a strong outlook to fight Sister Jill rather than just hide away.
===Cutie Honey movie===
Honey is a very lively and carefree person and is a people person yet had no real friends and was rather naive. Because of this, she was manipulated a couple of times by people. At her work place she makes herself out to be clumsy and is generally unlikable by her coworkers for her clumsiness and being late. The only person close to her was her father's colleague Ryo Utsugi until she met Natsuko Aki.
===Re: Cutie Honey===
This incarnation of Honey is a bit more "cutesy" than previous ones, as she has a ditzy but loving personality combined with a hot-blooded temper. However she likes to get along with all kinds of people including the ones critical of her like Natsuko Aki, getting very hurt when she feels that is not wanted.
==Powers & Abilities==
===Cutie Honey manga===
As revealed in Cutie Honey Tennyo Densetsu, Honey is an android composed of a mechanical frame and organic tissue, making her very close to functioning as a human being. As long as her skeleton and brain are intact, she is able to heal from any wound or injury inflicted on her. Honey's powers are mainly used through the Airborne Element Fixing Device that allow her to shapeshift and create objects from air. By Cutie Honey 90s, she becomes much more versatile with the device making diamonds, guns, and parachutes for certain situation. On a side note, Honey has a lot of charisma able to convince people for help even the Japanese Prime Minister for finance or an alliance with the Japanese Defense Force and US Army. Tennyo Densetsu reveals that Honey when in direct contact with someone can also use her Flash ability to outfit the other person with outfits and equipment.
===Cutie Honey (TV)===
Honey's android body consists of a mechanical skeleton and brain within a body composed of living organic cells from her old human body. Through the Airborne Element Fixing Device, Honey is able to manipulate the air molecules in the air to create objects and change her appearance. However, Honey needs to eat a lot of calories to use the device as it quickly depletes Honey's energy. She is also able to use her anti-gravity boots when pulling up her kneesocks, glasses that granted X-ray vision, and earrings that could amplify audio from short distances. Honey has a large array of transformations and disguises in this series.
===Cutie Honey Flash===
Before acquiring the Element Fixing Device, Honey was an excellent fencer and was the best one in her school who could only be matched by Seira. After acquiring the device, Honey gains the ability to assume a variety of disguises and heal otherwise serious wounds in hours.
===Cutie Honey a Go Go!===
Honey mainly makes use of the Airbrone Element Fixing Device to control the space around molecules in order to manipulate them and make tools out of thin air. Her most common weapon is the Silver Fleurette sword, and usually uses the device to disguise herself as various forms and create vehicles such as motorcycles or even a fighter jet. However, the device runs on Honey's caloric intake and a weapon or device as powerful as a mortar takes a lot of energy to create. Her brain is also connected to a special satellite that can transmit signals from phones or other kinds of devices for contact.
===Cutie Honey movie===
After gaining an android body to replace her old one, Honey gained use of the I-System that allows her to disguise herself into any form including Cutie Honey which gives her enhanced reflexes and arms her with the Silver Fleurette sword and the Honey Boomerang. Other equipment includes a motorcycle for travel. The I-System also acts as a life support system that can heal wounds and injuries, and perhaps make someone immortal. However the I-System requires a lot of energy and Honey has to eat a lot of food to replenish herself otherwise her clothing begins to deteriorate and usually ends up in her underwear.
===Re: Cutie Honey===
As with all versions of Honey, her abilities are derived from the I-System that unlike other versions utilizes nanotechnology that allows her to create weapons, armor, and a large variety of disguises to use. As Cutie Honey, she possesses strength slightly above the average human able to break cuffs on her wrists and is armed with a rapier called the Silver Fleurette and a boomerang on her left forearm called the Honey Boomerang along with high acrobatics. The I-System however requires a lot of calories to use and when Honey is running low on power her clothes start to deteriorate. To compensate, Honey has to eat a large amount of food to regain her functions.
