[edit] Powers and Abilities
While on Earth, Gloria demonstrated full mastery over plant life. She was able to generate deadly vines, which she could use to impale humans. Her vines were able to cut Clark's skin, somehow negating his Kryptonian invulnerability. In addition, she exhibited super-strength when she battled with Clark in a greenhouse.
Gloria was also able to inject human males with pod-like objects in their lungs. When Chloe went to check on the first boy attacked, she saw that he had vines growing out of his body and covering the hospital room. This would explain how Gloria had been able to take over entire planets, leading to her imprisonment in the Phantom Zone.
[edit] Vulnerabilities
Gloria and her plants were vulnerable to electricity. Chloe first noticed this when she checked on the first boy attacked by Gloria; the vines around the light switches and electrical plugs were dead. Chloe was later able to free Clark from Gloria's vines using her stun gun; in a similar vein, Chloe was also able to kill the eggs Gloria had inserted into Jimmy using defibrillator paddles. Finally, Clark was able to electrocute Gloria by setting off sprinklers with his heat vision, which shorted out heat lamps in Lex's greenhouse.
[edit] Season Six
Posing as a beautiful park ranger, Gloria used her powers in Smallville to store her seeds in human males. She lured men into the woods and killed their girlfriends. Gloria used Jimmy Olsen as one of her suitors and attacked Clark with her powers. When she went to find a suitor at the charity ball at the Luthor Mansion, she was confronted by Clark in the greenhouse. Gloria managed to overpower him and proceeded to strangle him with numerous vines, but Clark used his heat vision to set off the sprinkler system and short out the heat lamps, which vaporized Gloria.
