Cara Sor-So (DC-735)

## Superwoman

***Cara Sor-So*** was born on the planet Criptin. When it was doomed to die, her aunt & uncle sent their infant son, Cal-So, away to a distant world and sent Cara along with him to look after their baby. When they arrived, they were found by John and Marsha Kent, who took in the teenager and infant. She was named ***Ciara Kent*** as a cover for her being an alien. She saw that her new home was in need of a hero, and given the great power she had on Earth, Cara became known as ***Superwoman***, and later leader of the Hope Society.

### Powers

* **Criptonian Physiology**
	+ **Enhanced Intellect:** Criptonians are naturally smarter than humans.
		- **Eidetic Memory:** Criptonians have an unbelievable memory. They are able to perfectly memorize the genetic code of a human by studying it for only a few minutes.
	+ **Solar Energy Absorption:** Criptonians absorb solar energy at all times and store it in their body; when they absorb yellow solar energy, they are provided with many extraordinary powers.
		- **Cold Breath/Enhanced Lung Capacity:** Criptonians can breathe out cold winds and freeze most things in an instant. They are also able to inhale a large amount of air into their lungs.
		- **Decelerated Aging:** Criptonians age slower than humans. When they are 90 they will look mid-fifties.
		- **Enhanced Hearing:** Criptonians can hear the smallest sounds up to 500 miles away. A high-pitched sound produced by a Signal Watch can alert a Criptonian from anywhere on Earth to the exosphere.
		- **Enhanced Smelling:** Criptonians can smell the smallest of scents up to 500 miles away.
		- **Enhanced Speed:** Criptonians can travel at high speeds. Kara can personally travel from Earth to the Sun in less than 15 minutes.

		- **Self-Sustenance:** Criptonians do not need food or water as they get all of their nutrients from the sun.
		- **Solar Energy Discharge:** Criptonians can use all the stored up solar energy in their body and release it through their heat vision. After they do that, it leaves them powerless and takes them about 4 Earth days to start developing their powers again and 6 Earth days to regain full power.
		- **Space Survivability:** Criptonians do not need oxygen and can survive in the depths of space.

## Weaknesses

* **Criptonite:** Criptonians are vulnerable to some forms of kryptonite.
* **Magic:** Criptonians have no defense against magic.
* **Red Sun Energy:** Since Criptonians absorb solar energy quickly, light from a red star will make them lose their super powers during exposure.
* **Sensory Overload:** Although Criptonians can control when they hear or smell things better, their ears and nose are just as sensitive as regular humans.
