	+ **Superhuman Strength**: One of Rose's primary abilities, is she has a tremendous level of superhuman strength. She is one of the strongest people in the world. She is stated to be the strongest woman in the world, according to her son. As a child, she broke a woman's spine by hugging her. She was able to lift and throw a Lamborghini across a street, according to her teammates on the United Heroes and villains, she is the strongest being in the world.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Rose possesses extraordinary superhuman durability and is the second most durable of the United Heroes, after her husband, Devon. She is not only completely bulletproof, but also unfazed by explosions, such as when a warehouse blew up with her inside of it. It is implied that Rose is semi-invulnerable and immune to some or most forms of physical damage and harm regardless to it's type of power, as Azure stated, no matter force the asteroid from Mars would have, she would still be okay.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Rose can move faster than normal humans, and while in motion, she appears as a golden blur. She passed this power onto her eldest son, Azure.
	+ **Longevity**: According to her husband and daughter, Rose ages slower than normal humans, or even meta-humans, and can survive for thousands of years without succumbing to death. This refers that she is incapable of dying due to old age, and thus will live for an indefinite amount of time. Alycia once vented that Rose would "*always be there*", to her, as a sentiment.
	+ **Flight**: Rose is capable of defying gravity to create a gravitational field around her body that allows her to flow in mid-air although when she's sleeping. This power has shown to be an unconscious response to the growing power within her body. She can use this to defy gravity and propel herself through the air, in order to fly at supersonic speeds, being able to carry people long distances with ease, such as her son, Andre. She is capable of breaking the sound barrier easily with her flight inside the earth's atmosphere. She also traveled from Earth to Mars and back in less than a day.
		- **Self-Sustenance**: She is capable of flying through the vacuum of space unaided. She has traveled from Earth to Mars and back.
	+ **Electrokinesis**: Rose has the power to generate electric shocks and bursts from her hands. This power was first activated when she was fifteen and discovered she was a meta-human. Whenever she utilizes or is about to utilize her electrical powers, Rose's eyes glow the same bright golden color as her energy, and a golden glow begins to appear under the skin of her hands and face. According to Alycia, Rose is a generator - her body appears to create pure electrical energy from her own cells at all times, in a similar way to her twin children. She could absorb the unique energy from her daughter, Alycia, after she was completely drained of her powers.
		- **Electrical Absorption**: Similar to her children, Rose can absorb electricity from nearby electrical sources, essentially draining them, even without physically making contact with the source; instead, she is able to redirect the electricity toward her so she can absorb and even other electrical sources, such as phones and lightbulbs.
		- **Electricity Detection**: Rose is able to sense and detect electrical signals in her immediate vicinity. She seems to also be able to "see" the electrical impulses in a human body as they're being sent through the nervous system, allowing her to detect that Alycia was slowly dying as a result of her excessive use of her healing ability.
		- **Electrical Blasts**: Rose can create blasts and bolts of electrical energy and project it at her opponents. This can be as mild as a small electrical shock or as as severe as a fully-formed bolt of electricity.
		- **Electro-Telekinesis**: Using her electricity, Rose can manipulate the matter of objects with electricity or electromagnetism.
		- **Electrokinetic Constructs**: Using her electrokinesis, Rose can create constructs made of electrical energy. She first utilized this when she create an electro-rope/lasso to lift Barnabas into the air and bring him down.
		- **Photokinesis**: Rose can generate balls of light of varying sizes and levels of brightness. These constructs were first shown to float in the air around Rose in a way that resembles fireflies during her bouts of sleep-levitation. She has also demonstrated an intense offensive use of this power that involves creating large, powerful balls of light that can be thrown some distance away, exploding and temporarily blinding those exposed to it.
