Her power: Has a good head on her shoulders, but no superpowers.

Her story: One-half of the childless Kent couple, Martha Kent is with her husband, Jonathan, when they stumble across the baby Kal-El’s crashed escape pod in Man Of Steel.

In Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Lex Luthor kidnaps Martha, using her as a tool to force her son—now dubbed “Superman” by the world—to fight the Batman.
