    Does she have these powers?

    On Big Barda's page is is stated that she possesses the following powers:

    "She can project most forms of energy including cosmic energy in the form of destructive blasts. She can phase through solid matter and can see matter and energy at its sub-atomic level allowing her to form energy constructs.

    She is also able to manipulate space so that she can teleport and she can reshape, transform or animate matter. She is also able to heal other living beings, but cannot resurrect them. She is even able to revitalize organic life on a planetary scale."


    I admit I'm not very familiar with Big Barda, but I've always considered her just a really tough brick. Does anyone know if she ever used these abilities?

    Those are somewhat inaccurate.  Barda can emit destructive blasts, but not without the assistance of her Mega-Rod.  She can teleport via Boom Tube, and can heal with the assistance of a Mother Box.

    But that other stuff is inaccurate.  I've got a very nearly complete issue collection of Barda's appearances, and have never seen her phase through matter, or view matter and energy on the microscopic level.

    However, the whole 'reshape or transform matter' may be an interpretation of how the Boom Tube works.  The Boom Tube reformats individuals who move from world to world to the size of that world's native populace.  The New Gods are actually giants, but traveling via Boom Tube makes them human-sized when they come to Earth, and make Earthlings New God size when they go to Apokalypse or New Genesis.

    @AtPhantom:
    The powers you describe above seem closer to another fine Kirby-creation:  Sersi (of the Eternals).
