Mother Russia

The most powerful known metahuman on the planet is probably Natasha Dementieva, known as Mother Russia. She has the normal paragon suite of abilities: flight, super-strength, invulnerability, speed and endurance. She says she gets her power from ‘the Russian people’, but she doesn’t display the normal characteristics of other metas who have similar power sources.

Dementieva first appeared May 1, 1954, and was introduced as the protector of the Soviet Union in the wake of Stalin’s death. She clashed with many American and European superheroes during the Cold War era, though there are scattered reports of her forming friendships of respect with some. Originally she worked exclusively for the Soviet government, but around 1982 she began to operate independently. Though she has not apparently aged a day since her appearance, her level of activity has decreased in recent years to an almost random level; she has not offered an explanation for this. She can usually be seen at the scene of major natural disasters or working with ATLAS heroes dealing with nation-wide emergencies.
