Otho-Ra is from a reality in the Dark Multiverse where Superman never came to Warworld to free the slaves. She grew up to become a mighty Warzoon and conqueror, the Valkyrie General of the Warworld Engines.
History
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Phaelosian Physiology: Phaelosians are an evolutionary offshoot of Kryptonians. As such they possess superpowers under the light of a "yellow" sun such as Earth's.[1]
- Solar Radiation Absorption: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of their super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Their 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 their 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.[1][2]
- Genesis Energy Absorption: Phaelosians can absorb and process energy from a mysterious material known as "Genesis" as a substitute for yellow sunlight to fuel their powers. This alternative energy source can also empower Kryptonians.[3][4]
- Optic Blast: Phaelosians can, as a conscious act, fire powerful blasts of blue-coloured energy from any part of their body.[5] They most typically do this as concentrated beams from their eyes similar to Kryptonian heat vision,[1] or alternatively as concussive blasts from their hands.[6]
- Superhuman Strength: Phaelosians develop enhanced physical strength after absorbing a sufficient amount of yellow solar radiation. This radiation interacts with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of their musculature to trigger superhuman levels. While the exact magnitude of their strength is unknown, it is generally accepted that it is sufficient to lift 100,000 tons or more. The specific range is unknown as their strength, like their other powers, may fluctuate over time. Their strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. In terms of strength, Phaelosians are seemingly as strong as Kryptonians and Daxamites.[2]
- Superhuman Speed: Phaelosians are able to move at incredible speeds by sheer force of will. They can match most other speedsters in super-fast movements, reactions, and processes. They can use this power to disarm opponents without heightened reflexes, catch bullets or shrapnel or cross vast distances in seconds.[2]
- Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of their dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Phaelosian bodies are nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, their immune systems protect them from toxins and diseases.[2]
- Flight: Phaelosians are 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.[2]
- Super-Hearing: A Phaelosian's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, they can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.[7]
- Super-Breath: Phaelosians are able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from their lungs. They can chill the air as it leaves their lungs to freeze targets. They can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into their lungs.[8]
- X-Ray Vision: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. Phaelosians can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. They 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.[9]
- Divine Empowerment: In her reality, Otho-Ra is the host of the Fire of Olgrun.
Weaknesses
- Solar Energy Dependency: Like Kryptonians and Daxamites, Phaelosians rely on solar radiation from the yellow sun as a source of their powers. Their abilities will eventually weaken without replenishing their energy reserves with normal (yellow) sun radiation.[1]
- Vulnerability to Kryptonite: Unlike Daxamites, Phaelosians are vulnerable to Kryptonite despite centuries of genetic drift from baseline Kryptonians.[10]
