Phantom Lady: Powers Or Tools?

[byrd156]

I went with powers but it's all the same to me. I would just like to see more Phantom Lady, whatever form that takes I'm game.

Tools. There are enough powered characters and it's a unique and distinctive gimmick.

Okay I think I've decided on a good compromise:

* Sandra - no powers.

* Delilah - power of intangibility and invisibility.

* Stormy - Advanced tech she invented herself.

I think that Delilah's powers came from tech too.

The other two Phantom Lady's post flashpoint also use technology (Jennifer's was created by Doll Man and Sophia also used it, I think she invented it herself)

So as all Phantom Ladies have always used technology to fight crime, I don't see the need to change it.

I know they used technology. This was just my idea.

OP Question -

I'd go with tools or "gadgets" not that I feel either power-up type listed in the poll is necessary for her. Her powers are interesting enough without any additions, IMO.

I voted for Powers why name a character Phantom Lady if she doesn't have certain abilities that go w the name.it's like calling barry or wally the Flash but they don't have super speed powers.Phasing or Invisibility would be cool.

I voted for Powers why name a character Phantom Lady if she doesn't have certain abilities that go w the name.

Because back when the character first appeared back in 1941, not everybody who fought crime while wearing a costume had super-duper powers. Referring to her as "Phantom Lady" implied she could use the night / the darkness to conceal her movements, etc. It was as if she was a Phantom or ghost the way she could quickly vanish from site.

And I bet you were bummed when you found out the Phantom of the Opera didn't have all those cool ghostly / invisibility / intangible super powers!

Do you prefer Phantom Lady's abilities be a result of super powers or tools she uses?

I personally prefer equipment though it be only allowed to turn her invisible and intangible

When has she had superpowers? I thought she was a gadget gal the way Bats is a gadget guy

Different versions of Phantom Lady.

Original Phantom Lady (Sandra Knight) didn't have powers during the Golden Age, but for a time she did have phantom abilities in the 1970s when she left Earth-X and relocated to Earth-1.
