Katherine Hale

"In life you win some, you lose some, only I never lose.

## History

Kate is one of the last Cadmus projects ever created, as they used only Kara Zor-El's DNA to create her before their fall. Kate was created in 2001 but had whole new memories of a fake life, and childhood, and personality. She has not hostile but she was hot-headed she once threw a Cadmus guard nearly killing him, as he tried to put her back into her cell. Kate was trained for 15 years to be their secret weapon after superboy and others failed, but she never wanted that.

Kate later on started getting violent towards the Cadmus people, wanting to leave but couldn't so she started making a plan to escape(TBA)

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Kryptonian Physiology**: Kate is a clone of Kara giving her the same abilities as her. Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Kate possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian.

* **Solar Energy Absorption**: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Kates super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Her biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
* **Heat Vision**: Kate can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat and area affected.
* **Super-Hearing**: Kate's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
* **Enhanced Vision**: Her vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.
This umbrella ability includes the following:
	+ **Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision**: Kate can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living thing.
	+ **Telescopic Vision**: This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
	+ **X-Ray Vision**: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. She can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived—such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans—is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
	+ **Microscopic Vision**: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
	+ **Infrared Vision**: Kate can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
* **Flight**: As a clone of Kara, Kate is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
* **Invulnerability**: Due to the interaction of her dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Kate is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, her extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
* **Superhuman Stamina**: Kate is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
* **Superhuman Strength**: Kate's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables her to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Kate is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time.
This also confers:
	+ **Superhuman Agility**
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes**
* **Super-Breath**: Kate is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
	+ **Longevity**

### Weaknesses

* **Kryptonian Physiology**: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Kate possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
	+ **Vulnerability to Kryptonite**
	+ **Vulnerability to Magic**

* **Vulnerability to Sensory Overload**: Kate sensitive sense can be overpowered, such as when Lobo tossed a sonic grenade under her feet and knocked her unconscious.
