Which version of the story is accurate is anyone's guess. But what is known is which version Cleopatra accepted as truth. She was a member of a Mothra cult, you see... who, yes, believed it was that kaiju whose mighty wings parted the Red Sea under Moses' command that day. And who worshipped Mothra as a goddess as penance for her smiting their people. Even after it was believed she left Egypt.

— President Thomas Jefferson talking about Cleopatra's worship of Mothra as penance for Mothra aiding the Israelites against Pharaoh (Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons II - Sons of Giants #3)

Name

Abilities

Flight

Mothra is naturally capable of flight and almost never spends time on ground, always remaining in flight during battles against foes such as Megalon.

Winds

Mothra flapped her wings to part the Red Sea to allow Moses and the Israelites to cross and then seemingly stopped to prevent Pharaoh and his army to try to do the same. Unlike fellow Earth monster Rodan, she never used this ability while doing battle with another kaiju.

Powder

Mothra appeared to employ a orange powder while in battle with Hedorah, sending the smog monster backwards.

Silk

Much like the Monsterverse Mothra, this Mothra is capable of using silk even as an imago and briefly wrapped up King Ghidorah before the dragon easily broke free of these restraints.
