Everyone she knows with a costume has powers, after all, and she knows the majority of them, if not all, are invincible or close to.
With the symbol, her mouth tightened again. Unconsciously, her mind made the unfortunate decision to lash out, still angry with Clark and wanting to remind Kon that he wasn't the same as his quasi-father. "Does Lex have a symbol? Maybe you could join the two."
