When Lana was only three-years-old, a meteor shower struck the town of Smallville, Kansas. Lana watched in horror as a meteor struck her parents Lewis and Laura, killing them instantly.Powers and Abilities
Powers
After undergoing treatment as part of Project Prometheus, Lana was successfully fused with nanotechnology and alien DNA as part of the project and was granted powers similar to those of Project Ares with the process being permanent.
- Super-Speed: Lana is able to move at super speed. The maximum speed she can achieve is unknown, but it's very nearly Clark's.
- Invulnerability: Lana was able to catch a bullet with her bare hand, as well as jump through glass without being injured.
- Superhuman Strength: Lana was able to rip open Tess Mercer's wall safe to destroy her copies of Project Prometheus.
- Kryptonite Absorption: Lana was able to absorb Kryptonite from a micro chip (registered by Queen Industries), then she was able to absorb massive amounts of kryptonite from the Kryptonite bomb (designed by Winslow Schott) positioned on the roof of the Daily Planet.
Previously, Lana has also had temporary super powers on numerous occasions due to the interference of meteor rocks, explosions, being possessed by a witch and lightning.
Her first encounter with super powers was in Obscura when she was caught in an explosion with meteor rocks and got the ability to see through a villain's eyes:
- Clairvoyance: Gained the ability to see through Gary Watts' eyes. Obtained due to her proximity to a meteor rock explosion.
While it was not Lana Lang performing these feats, when she was possessed by her ancestor Margaret Isobel Thoreaux, Thoreaux was able to use her body to perform these powers as seen in Spell, Bound, Sacred, Commencement:
- Spellcasting: She was able to defeat Clark with this power to conjure up forces.
- Telekinesis
- Mind Control: She was able to compel Lex Luthor to play the piano against his will.
- Enhanced Strength: Significantly stronger than the average human, particularly when her size is taken into account.
She gained significant superpowers when she was bitten by a female vampire, Buffy Sanders (actually infected by serum from Project 1138) in Thirst:
- Superhuman Strength: While not as strong as Clark, she was still much stronger than the strongest human males on Earth.
- Superhuman Speed: Through not as fast as Clark, still much faster than the human eye could follow.
- Healing Factor: While not invulnerable, cuts, bruises, stab wounds, and broken bones heal and reset themselves almost instantly.
- Heat Vision: After Lana drank some of Clark's blood when he was weakened by Kryptonite, she gained heat vision.
The most significant instance she had super powers prior to Project Prometheus was in Wrath when she held onto Kryptonite at the same time as Clark while both were electrocuted by a falling power transmission tower and she displayed many of his powers.
