Wait, she actually has psychic powers? I thought that was Rich Johnston being cheeky about Lilith projecting her thoughts into Karen's head. Just the usual bullshit headline to draw clicks.
It's a dumb change that won't last too long if so.

Yeah, they all have, but that seems not to be the case for some years now. But getting back to mental powers; they COULD be good---if they're actually used, especially in novel, interesting ways that other telepaths rarely do, such as to know what an opponent's next move in a fight will be...but I doubt it will feature much, even assuming all these new powers don't just vanish when the event is over. As a side note, imagine what a detective a Kryptonian with the ability to read minds and those super senses and the knowledge of super science beyond humans and likely most alien races would be.
This is recent but is like WWs flight and breathing stuff. She was shown during the Marston years in outer space with no gear or apparatus. Other times she needs a suit or a bubble breather. Like with WW, I feel that it is well within his design and history. One thing he needs gear for is talking. Of the Can Do's, only Cap can talk in outer space unassisted
It's been shown thst kryptonians can alter their energy,that's why Clark went blue,and now Jon will too.
It has also been shown that kryptonians bio fields are mental in nature,and is more than just lifting things better,more invulnerability,and flight.if we don't live on a flat earth and on a sphere than explaining sight and hearing powers isn't gonna fly unless you give it a extra mental edge to it.kon/Conners TTK is mental,but it was translated in a lab,but the new 52s kons TTK wasn't,it was inherited straight from Jon Lane Kent,and he had TK and telepathy.
The whole point is thst her getting it,even though I don't think she needs it,is and can be a extension of how a kryptonians powers work.
Created from 2 of the greatest men,made with 2 powersets thst are both SUPER,and has 2 cool asf looks and attitudes.
My biggest problem with mental powers is that they are for the most part, passive powers, something contrary to PG's character. She's an aggressive, active character, and whatever special new powers she gains should mirror that. They shouldn't be subtle; she's not a subtle person. It should be an active power, loud and aggressive.
Psionic power would be PG using her brains - technically - but not in the way that counts. And she already uses her brains with regard to her technical computer skills and business acumen.
If Karen needs mental growth, it's in tempering her personality; which would be better served by having her utterly fail against an opponent, owing less to her physical strengths and more her attitude. Her interpersonal relationships within the Society can also help with that.
There are a few things I'd like to see shown with PG that a back-up section in Action Comics may not provide, but there are different levels of computer skills where someone with her personality can occupy; similarly, business acumen doesn't mean that Karen Starr can't be lacking in the interpersonal department.
