Damaged Lexcorp military drones with physical strikes. Kicked a punching bag off of its apparatus), higher with her Submachine Gun (Her LexCorp machine gun was implied to be capable of killing Harley Quinn and The Joker) and likely higher than her physicals with her energy blaster (She was more confident in shooting Brainiac with it than trying to punch or kick him)

Blitzed an athletic man with a kick), with Supersonic to Supersonic+ attack speed using her Submachine Gun (Judging from the average muzzle velocity of SMGs) and Transonic attack speed with her Handgun (Assuming it's an average Glock)

Weaknesses: Normal Human Weaknesses. Can be manipulated by Lex Luthor.
Note: Bruce Timm has stated that the original DCAU tie-in comics are not canon, with the only tie in comics that have statements to the contrary (other than Batman: The Adventures Continue, which has so many continuity issues that it's essentially impossible to argue it's canon) being Justice League Infinity, the Batman and Harley Quinn tie in comics, and specifically the first annual of Batman Adventures. Ergo, I only consider those three comics canon.
