 Powers & Abilities

* **New God Physiology**
	+ ***Immortality***: Like most of the New Gods, Barda is functionally immortal, having ceased aging physically at full maturity. She is immune to the ravages of time & could easily live for thousands upon thousands of years.
	+ ***Superhuman Durability***: Even outside her armor, Barda is fairly difficult to damage. She is resistant to blunt trauma though not completely immune. Unless the blows are dealt by a being with similar or greater strength than Barda, there just isn't a chance of injury. However, her invulnerability does not extend to bullets, laser-blasts or other piercing weapons. Her invulnerability is more akin to that of an Amazon, rather than a Kryptonian.
	+ ***Superhuman Reflexes***: Barda has an enhanced physiology which allows her to move her entire body at incredible speeds and with heightened accuracy. Despite wielding weapons, armor & even alien tech, she's able to move & flow with astonishing ease. Given the opportunity Barda can & will dodge bullets which would've normally bounced off her armor.
	+ ***Superhuman Stamina***: Her stamina & endurance is nothing short of amazing. Due to the naturally exhausting & extensive rigors of her life on Apokolips, Barda is able to manage her stamina on a certain amount of rest & sustenance (more than minimal) so that it seems she is able to constantly function, though this is not entirely the case. Tied directly to her strength & invulnerability, even her immunity to a certain extent, Barda can actually function at peak efficiency for almost 48 hours before needing to eat & rest off the stress.
	+ ***Superhuman Strength***: Her super strength comes from her heritage as a member of New Genesis, where all of the people of that realm are genetically superior to normal humans in their physical characteristics. She was later augmented by Darkseid to further increase her strength & stamina at least by twenty-fold. Barda's strength is in the megaton range, nearly on the order of Wonder Woman's, easily able to lift a weight well surpassing 100 tons.
	+ ***Shapeshifting:*** Like all other New Gods, Barda has the ability to make minor changes to her appearance. Some examples are changing her hair, skin or eye color & reducing or increasing her height.
* **Hand to Hand Combat**: Barda is a highly trained warrior & a master of all forms of hand-to-hand combat and combat with weapons. She is one of the most feared combatants on Earth & New Genesis. She has even managed to fight Wonder Woman to a draw.
* **Mega-Rod:** Her main weapon is the Mega-Rod, a high-tech device that fires extremely powerful concussive blasts. Barda can use the Mega-Rod to teleport herself or others to any desired location, and it also gives her the ability to manipulate gravitational fields.

### Weaknesses

* **Vulnerability to Radion:** New Gods are vulnerable to a substance called Radion. Its source is unknown & its effects are toxic only in sustained amounts or after explosive exposure. However, Radion is very hard to come by. The average New God can be slain by an application of Radion from a blaster or bomb. More advanced beings such as Barda, protected by their mother box, armor & sheer toughness, have been known to take two hits & survive.

## Trivia
