Powers[]
- Enhanced Physiology: After being exposed to a strange gas released by a tiny Venusian organism, Cobalt's DNA was altered over a few months, and after awakening from her coma, she had developed into a new kind of "superhuman", with vastly superior strength, durability, and other abilities that normal humans do not possess. Cobalt's abilities are exactly the same as Sergeant Furin's, which made them perfectly matched against one another. However, as she continued to age normally, Cobalt's extraordinary feats took their toll on her organs, particularly her heart, ultimately causing heart failure.
- Superhuman Strength: Cobalt has strength far beyond that of a normal person, being able to perform extraordinary feats such as lifting an entire building, send opponents flying with a single blow, and break a person's bones with a mere tap of her finger. Against any of the half-human/half-"superhuman" children of hers or Furin's, Cobalt's strength is vastly superior, being able to critically injure or kill them with ease.
- Enhanced Durability: As a result of her enhanced physiology, the density of Cobalt's skin, muscles, and bones have increased exponentially, making her far more durable than a typical human. This makes her nigh-invulnerable, being able to withstand a variety of impacts that would stun, injure or even kill the average person. Bullets and grenades do not faze her in the slightest, and, like the Fury, even a nuclear blast cannot harm her.
- Flight: Cobalt has the ability to fly under her own power, being able to propel herself through the air with no outside help. Along with her enhanced speed, this allows her to travel great distances within a short time, being able to fly across several miles within moments.
- Superspeed: Cobalt has exceedingly fast reflexes, being able to quickly react to danger. When used in conjunction with her ability to fly, Cobalt can travel great distances within a short time. With her powers being equal to the Fury, who was once clocked at reaching Mach 2.1, Cobalt presumably could reach the same speeds.
- Enhanced Senses: As a result of her superhuman physiology, Cobalt has enhanced senses, being able to see, hear and smell far better than an ordinary person.
- Enhanced Sight: Cobalt's eyes are enhanced to the point that she is able to see with amazing clarity details, and see clearly across distances of dozens of miles.
- Enhanced Hearing: Cobalt's sense of hearing extends far beyond the typical human limit, allowing her to hear different sounds at different frequencies that are miles away.
- Enhanced Smell: Cobalt possess extraordinary olfactory senses, which allows her to pick up subtle odors with ease.
- Enhanced Lung Capacity: Cobalt has the ability to use the oxygen that resides in her lungs more efficiently than normal, allowing her to hold her breath for extended periods of time, namely up to an hour before feeling the need to breathe again. Like, the Fury, however, she is still susceptible to requiring oxygen regularly, and presumably had an oxygen rebreather to aid long stints in low-to-nonexistent oxygen environments, such as swimming underwater or flying at high altitudes.
