Powers

One With the Earth: As a living embodiment of the Earth's mantle, Ka Whatkatika Te Mante has the ability to commune with the Earth's magma and thus gain a understanding of its movements, pressures and all that is going on beneath the surface of the Earth. She is also empowered by the Earth's molten core and is the conduit through which mankind can know what is happening to their planet.

Cosmic Awareness: Ka Whatkatika Te Mante has access to universal knowledge due to a connection between planets. She spent time within the mantle of the Earth, learning how to separate the future and past from the present, and forcing her awareness to exist only in the present as well as to separate information from other planets and concentrating only on Earth.

Energy Projection: Ka Whatkatika Te Mante's only limit is the amount of energy existing in the molten core of the planet she is on. She cannot create new energy, but can channel and manipulate existing forms of energy. She apparently can actively shift the signature of wave energy along its spectrum.

Force Field: She can create force fields either from the energy she absorbs or from magma.

Geokinesis: Ka Whatkatika Te Mante can psionically control the movement of tectonic plates within the Earth's crust. This ability is of relatively short range, probably no more than a radius of a few city blocks, but within this area she can create both small and large Earthquakes.

Geo-Thermokinesis: She can cause magma, molten rock from deep within the Earth, to rise and break through the surface, forming miniature volcanoes. She can also turn nearby rock molten and telekinetically project fiery blasts of magma at targets. Ka Whatkatika Te Mante's power to create small or large Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is linked to her emotions.

Healing: Ka Whatkatika Te Mante has the ability to heal instantly when touched by some natural heat source.

Immortality: Based on some testing, it appears that Ka Whatkatika Te Mante will age at the same rate as the planet and, therefore, not die until the planet does.

Interstellar Travel: Through this connection of planets, Ka Whatkatika Te Mante can travel from planet to planet or even to the moons of the planets. Based on her trip to the Moon and to Mars, it appears it takes one minute to travel 100 million miles, meaning she can travel at roughly 27,777.77 miles per minute from planet to planet.

Invulnerability: Her invulnerability does not extend to bullets, laser-blasts, or other piercing/slicing weapons - though she is resistant to them, they can still pierce her body given enough time or force.

Magma Form: When using her powers, Ka Whatkatika Te Mante's body becomes rock-hard mantle and gives off tremendous heat. Her hair is burned off except for three "mohawk-;ike" strips which seem ablaze with fiery light, and neither her own heat nor heat from any other known source can harm her while in this form. She is also not blinded by the light that her magma hair and powers radiates. Although she has triggered small Earth tremors without taking on this rock form, she has never been seen to use her lava blasts while in her ordinary human appearance.

Pyrokinesis: Ka Whatkatika Te Mante can create flames and project blasts of heat that do not contain any molten rock. However, she apparently prefers to shoot molten rock blasts rather than simple heat blasts, perhaps because the magma blasts have a solid concussive impact that can knock down a target. The highest level of heat that Ka Whatkatika Te Mante can generate is not yet known, but it is believed that she can reach at least 850° Fahrenheit or higher.

Superhuman Strength: Thought it could overwhelm her senses and use up her energy, it is theorized that, if she absorbs enough energy from the Earth, she could strike an opponent with the full force of a planet.

Weaknesses

Emotioinal State: She could unintentionally create major Earthquakes and large-scale volcanic activity by losing control of her temper and becoming unusually angry.

Location Matters: Ka Whatkatika Te Mante's powers depend on her maintaining contact with the Earth or whichever planet she is on, or at least with a floor that is part of a structure in contact with the ground.
