Origin:
Sugar...
Spice...
And everything nice.
These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls
But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction...Chemical X.
Thus, the Powerpuff Girls were born! Using her ultra-super powers, Bubbles, alongside her similarly powered sisters Blossom and Buttercup, has dedicated her life to fighting crime and the forces of evil!
The Powerpuff girls share many, but not all, of the same abilities and so most of what is written here will apply universally. Bubbles was given a host of powers from the Chemical X that aids in her battle against monsters and villains.

Strength:
The PPG are famous for manhandling kaiju sized monsters all the time. However this pales in comparison to their best feats.
They are also well-known from what I've heard, of space tosses, chucking enemies or other things into orbit or beyond. Bubbles very early on the series launched herself from a swing past the Moon. Her sister Blossom threw Mojo's large flying vehicle far outside the Earth and her sister Buttercup has knocked a monster past Saturn and kicked a bomb into the Sun.
Her sister Blossom more concretely has destroyed a meteor that could destroy the earth with one punch, with enough force that the fragments of the meteor perfectly wiped out every other meteor of it's meteor shower.
However even more impressively is that the PPG are famously the one to have humbled HIM, part of the Cartoon Network Devil with their great strength. The Three of them have beaten up HIM even in his own dimension and Buttercup was implied to have beaten some of his teeth out to offer to the tooth fairy. How strong is HIM? He was strong enough to with simply a gesture of his hand to stop the Earth from falling into the sun and returning to it's position at relativistic speeds, calced at low stellar level. HIM was also able to imbue chalk with magical properties to cause what was drawn with them to come to life and maintained those drawings and a dimension large enough to include what was drawn, including a sun.
The PPG's might was high enough to even defeat Mascumax, whom the Justice Friends could not beat. The same Justice Friends roster included Major Glory and Valhallen. The same two were able to take a beating from the Rasslor, and the power of Valhallen's mighty axe was so strong that Rasslor actually dodged it uncharacteristically. The mighty axe was so strong that it's power even caused pain to Badaxtra. Why is this important? Well both Rasslor and Badaxtra were stronger then Monkey, who was able to carry the Solar System away from Barbequor. If the PPG even remotely scale to this feat that would put them well within the stellar strength range when serious.
Beyond just pure physical strength, the PPG also can perform several strength based techniques. For instance superleaping, the PPG squirrel Bullet supposedly had the ability to leap for miles. Other abilities shown are the Thunderclap and the Seismic Wave.
Durability:
The PPG are tough enough to tank a nuke going off while they are literally holding it, survive the heat at the center of the Earth only a few days after they were created and shield Earth from a dangerous sunflare. However this is only scratching the surface of their durability. All evidence suggests that compared that they don't just have proportionate durability to their strength compared to a human, but their durability actually significantly exceeds their strength.
The PPG can easily take attacks from each other being manipulated into trying to destroy each other. They multiple times in one episode survived a combined energy assault from the aforementioned HIM, as well as Mojo Jojo and Princess (and also a rock from Fuzzy Lumpkins). After Mojo Jojo stopped helping the combined assault from the other 3 wasn't enough to even stop them. They have survived the electrical attack from the war mech of an alien race so advanced their normal spaceships have lasers equal to the PPG's own powers. They took little damage from a blast by the Powered-Up Rowdy Ruff Boys, who in their base were equal to the PPG. And probably biggest of all they survived a maintained energy attack from Gnomey, who had absorbed the powers of all the metahumans in Townsville including the PPG themselves, before attacking him seemingly without damage.
They're also acid-proof.
Speed:
By far the area I have the most information on so strap-in.
Bubbles actually has one of the most famous speed feats of the PPG. In a race against E-Mail, the Justice Friends Speedster who can circle the world in 7 seconds, Bubbles beat him by completing the race in 4 seconds, a feat which requires speed in excess of 3.3% the speed of light. However what most people don't mention is that 3.3%c is the average speed Bubbles had in the race, including the fact that she started the race late by a second or two and wasn't trying for most of it. When she tries even a little bit you can see she massively outpaces E-Mail by what must be at least an order of magnitude which would put her at least at over 19%c. Of course this is just running speed....their flight speed is even faster.
Flight comes naturally to the PPG, as they started flying less then 3 minutes after their creation without trouble. One day later they were able to play tag while running and flying at superspeeds showing fine motor control the entire time. If they need more reaction time they actually have an ability called "The Matrix" sending everything into relative bullet time for them. Is their flight speed ftl? Yes, clearly. Blossom has outpaced a "liquid electron" blast. Electrons are a particle of electromagnetism and travel at lightspeed. Likewise a few days after their creation they heard the professor in danger and traveled from a distant asteroid to Earth almost instantly, a feat calced at 1.2 times the speed of light.
Their most common big speed feats is space travel, generally leaving and then entering Earth's orbit rapidly. Even Major Man, who was essentially a fraud superhero whose powers completely paled compared to the girls, could fly far outside the orbit of Earth and back rapidly. Their is so many feats of this nature that it would be totally redundant to list them all but a few examples
The PPG are fast enough to fly to the Sun in 10 seconds, a feat requiring speeds nearly 50 times the speed of light and here they travel relatively close to the sun in a short period of time.
The PPG are fast enough to gain a limited omnipresence within the city of Townsville. They have rebuilt the city in 4 seconds and searched the entire city for a key in seconds. Bubbles herself when she became relatively merciless stopped all crime in the city down to pollution, and parking or stepping where you are not supposed to before each of those had even finished. Blossom took cockroachs covering the entire city and put them all in a giant jar in 4 seconds and in "Nano of the North" the PPG fought all the nanobots covering the city, though those nanobots were somewhat inconsistent in size since sometimes they were visible at 1,000x magnification, sometimes at 10,000x, sometimes they were the same size as the shrunken girls who were very small but still visible. If they are the actual size of nanobots that feat would constitute an MFTL feat, though there are too many unknown variables to get an actual value.
However this is all leading up to the PPG's most famous speed feat, namely flying so fast they traveled foward in time. It is outright stated to be faster then light but seems totally unquantifiable otherwise right? Well little known fact, PPG actually takes place inside the same universe as the Super-Friends DC Television show. They have actually interacted before. Likewise in the episode "Equal Fights" DC Superheroes are referenced as existing, from the transcript:
"Femme Fatale: Surely
you’ve noticed. Female superheroes aren’t nearly as revered as male
superheroes.
Bubbles: Sure they are!
There’s Supergirl, Batgirl—
Femme Fatale: (snorting
in contempt) They’re so lame! Merely extensions of their male counterparts. Who
besides you is a heroine in her own right?
Blossom: Ha! There’s
Wonder Woman, and…uh…um…um… (softly) Wonder Woman… (Back to Buttercup.)
...
Femme Fatale: (wearily)
Listen to me, girls. (Pull back to show her dangling at the end of the rope.)
You’re on the wrong side. You girls protect your city just as well as Batman
and Superman protect theirs."
This is consistent with how the PPG Comics are canon to the PPG cartoon and how DC considers all comics it publishes, including the Cartoon Network Comics canon under Convergence and DC Rebirth.
In the Super-Friends show, characters like Superman and The Flash can break the time barrier and fly through time but Lex Luthor must rely on a time machine to do so, even though he has spaceships capable of flying across the universe in at most a few hours, speeds trillions of times faster then light. Therefore to break the time barrier would theoretically require speeds exceeding that. This is somewhat consistent with how Mojo has claimed universal domination as his ultimate goal at times and yet the girls are clearly as fast or faster then his vehicles.
Even within the context of the PPG Bubbles is a bit on the swifter side and arguablly faster then her sisters. While Mojo Jojo can generally keep up with the PPG, Bubbles when angry has blitzed him before and when Blossom was panicked and flew away Bubbles quickly caught up to her despite Blossom's head start. Also considering how Bubbles was the one who raced E-Mail, it would also suggest she is considered the fastest of her sisters.
Laser Vision:
The PPG are often compared to Kryptonians in terms of powerset, and this is a large reason why. They can shoot laser beams from their eyes as a weapon. This ability is not something that required training and is highly natural to them as the same day that they were created they demonstrated this ability and created perfect ovals in the walls with it in order to make windows.
These lasers are VERY powerful. Bubbles (also demonstrating the interesting ability to make the laser beam change in mid air) was able to destroy a giant disco ball being used to block out the sun with one burst of her laser vision. Given that they were closer to the Sun then the Earth at this point (by a good margin), this Disco Ball would need to be larger then any planet in the Solar System to block out the sun, making it and it's violent explosion all the more impressive.
Likewise on two separate occasions (1) (2) Bubbles Laser has shown to be effective against her sister's massive durability. She also demonstrated that she could use glasses (and theoretically any similar medium if she wanted) to make her eye beams even stronger and annihilated a giant ant monster that was tanking her sisters' eye beams.
Despite the Laser's power, it is also very accurate when wanted. On the PPG's first day of creation, the laser was able to cut off the crusts of their sandwhichs without doing any damage to the actual sandwhich. It has such fine control that it was even used to help change a baby without harming the actual baby and could perform laser eye surgery. Given the later fact it's possible the PPG could pull off the same "shoot laser through someone's pupil to give them a lobotomy" trick that Superman bluffed and threatened.
Energy Projection:
Besides their Eye Beams, the PPG can also launch energy beams from their hands colored their signature color (Blue for Bubbles). And it's here we see that Bubbles really holds back, when she suffers a concussion and thinks she is Mojo Jojo, she completely without any outside aid, releases an energy burst capable of knocking out Blossom and Buttercup.
Electromagnetic Manipulation:
Bubbles can manipulate the electromagnetic force in a few ways. She can create an electromagnetic surge from her hands, essentially creating lightning. She can throw an electromagnetic ball as an attack. Both of these world be a form of hax attack against an opponent who is comprised of, or uses mostly technology that can be shorted out by an EMP like surge.
Bubbles can also use her control of the electromagnetic spectrum to create a forcefield around her, though it's durability is unknown.
Fire Manipulation:
Buttercup has been able to create fire from the friction of her hands and it seems likely Bubbles could do the same. Bubbles has also been shown to be able to breath fire, enough to counter Blossom's Freeze Breath.
Blossom's Freeze Breath has frozen a planet level meteor suggesting Bubble's Fire Breath could be on a similar level. Also Blossoms' Freeze Breath froze Mojo's volcano lair until it had "Heat Level: 0%" which COULD be argued as meaning absolute 0. If that's the case too counter it Bubbles' Heat Breath would have to be absolute hot which would require some level of spatial warping hax within it.
Beyond this, Bubbles can use the technique "Inferno" to burst into a fiery combat aura and can eat fire.
Air Manipulation:
Buttercup has been able to form a massive, superfast cyclone by spinning, able to deposit a monster outside the Earth from wind force. Given Blossom and Bubbles can both form cyclones, it's likely they can do the same to a similar degree.
Ultrasonic Screaming:
Bubbles, as well as her sisters, can create an ultra-energetic sound wave from their mouth carrying concussive force.
Bubbles sonic scream is at least strong enough to reverse the trajectory of a nuclear missile and send it flying past the horizon. It has also on two occasions seemed to be able to negatively affect Powerpuff level characters, once Blossom and once Princess
Omni-Lingual:
Bubbles unique ability as a Powerpuff girl is her ability to speak any language. She has shown the ability to speak Spanish, Japanese, and Squirrel. She has also communicated with dogs and all the cats of Townsville. She is also literate in the written forms of these languages.
Animal Mimicry:
A more general power, all the PPG have, called "Call of the Wild" imitates the roar of an animal.
Super-Senses:
The PPG have massively greater senses then normal humans. Blossom has shown the ability to see events as far away as the Sun, at least 146 million kilometers or 91 million miles away. Their sight is boosted in abilities beyond just as range, such as dark vision, x-ray vision, and microscopic vision.
Their hearing is similarly boosted. A few days old, they heard the professor's cry for help from a distant asteroid. On a separate occasion they have also heard the professor from space and very early in the series Bubbles is implied to have heard the amoeba boys from beyond the moon, at a distance of 384,000 kilometers or 238,900 miles away. They are also able to recognize sounds such as the professor's footsteps from large distances.
Less used, their other senses do seem stronger then humans. Bubbles has been able to mentally break down a food into it's component ingrediants purely by smell and all 3 PPG were awoken from unconsciousness from a single tear each from the citizens of Townsville hitting their cheeks, suggesting their sense of touch is also improved.
Essence Restoration/Power of Music:
When the malevolent Mr. Mime starts draining everyone and everything of their essence, draining their color, sound and temperament from them, Bubbles's music was strong enough to restore the world to it's full vibrancy of colors, starting with her sisters, and ending with Mr. Mime himself.
This may be related to her purity, which was of such a level that not even HIM was able to find sin or evil in her (this also likely gives her resistance to corruption based hax).
Transmutation Resistance:
After drinking a mutating serum, Bubbles mutates a tentacle for an arm and somehow returns to normal off-camera, suggesting she has some form of transmutation resistance.
Power Regeneration:
If the PPG loses their powers the powers will eventually re-develop and return to them though the timeframe makes this unlikely to be helpful in combat.
Invisibility:
The PPG seem to be able to do that old DC Speedster trick of vibrating really fast (faster then photons) and thus becoming invisible. It is unknown if they can also do this to phase intangible and though solid objects.
Logia-Intangibility:
The PPG have a technique called "Aqua-Melting" allowing them to temporarily turn into pools of water.
Duplication:
The "Copycat" technique allows the PPG to multiply and duplicate themselves.
Size Manipulation:
The "Itsy-Bitsy" technique allows the PPG to shrink and presumably then return to normal size.
Atomic Snot Rocket:
A more gross ability, can shoot a snot rocket. Bubbles' is strong enough to ricochet across a town and knock around Rowdy Ruff Boys members.
Bulgy-Eyes:
Using the technique "Optomotron" Bubbles can get bulgy eyes.
Fourth Wall Awareness:
On a few occasions, the PPG including Bubbles have shown awareness of the fourth wall such as moving around and commenting on the ending sequence. And being able to see past the fourth wall Bubbles can conclude that she is definitely not on tv. ... Kappa.
Magic?
So in one early episode the Girls fight Abra-cadaver the zombie magician who seemed to bring them to grisly ends only for it to be revealed that Blossom was him, Bubbles and Buttercup were just fine and he was the one who met his grisly end where Blossom was "supposed to be" and in answer to everyone's confusion they just said "It's magic, silly!"
This is heavily contentious to use as a feat, but if it's legit then it's a form of magical spatial warping that switches one's place with one's opponent which would be very helpful if say an opponent was to launch an attack at you and you made them take it instead.

Freeze Breath?
In the special Dance Pantsed, Bubbles nonchalantly uses Freeze Breath a couple of times despite that being established to be Blossom's unique power. Theoretically this would be a retcon, although I haven't seen any consensus come up about this yet.
Mental Plane Fighting:
The PPG can fight on the mental plane in a few ways, they can defend against planetary-scale mental attacks like The Sandman's, they can share dreamspace with each other or anyone else and when infiltrating other's minds can attack their mind as a form of mental hax.
Intelligence:
While the PPG aren't supergeniuses, they do have an ability to learn very quickly and it wouldn't surprise me if they were low level genius by the time they were adults. Less then a minute old, the PPG develop the capacity to speak English coherently, despite never hearing it.
Beyond that though Bubbles is known for her creativity skills able to turn bad crayon monsters into happy good ones with the power of her creativity. She is also like super skilled at math, being both a good counter and knowing what 1+1 is equal to.
She is also a good guesser and has a firm knowledge of military history. Also she once got a comically high SAT score by doodling a flower on the scan sheet saving the day on it soooo......totally a super-genius.
Weaknesses:
Bubbles is not good at rock paper scissors and can't curl her tongue.
More seriously Bubbles is a very sensitive little girl, and while she can certainly act brave and is very strong she is easily intimidated and prone to crying or fainting when exposed to excessive cruelty.
Personality:
Bubbles is a very sweet imaginative young girl. She's sensitive and doesn't like arguing, wishing we could all just get along. While Buttercup views monsters as enemies to let out aggression on, and Blossom views monsters as problems to be logically solved, Bubbles views everyone as potential friends, and once stopped a monster neither of her sisters could just by politely asking it to leave.
Over the course of the series she becomes braver and more willing to face the unknown for the sake of those she cares about, like when she faces her own worst fear to save her sister or lets an animal friend go against the wishes of her sisters because it's what was best for them.
While Bubbles has a lot of power and can easily match either of her sisters if she needs to, her gentleness is her strongest strength of all.
