It's much more interesting that way than asking who can kill who because they have magic powers.

If she see's herself as part of a benevolent dictatorship that she believes is doing the right thing for the galaxy with Ren, and Finn and Poe are on the opposite side and represent a rebellion, she'd slaughter them like the ants they are.
Not only does power corrupt. But when you're a super being who believes you're doing the right thing, you're going to cast away any concept of morality in pursuit of a higher goal. She'd kill them and maybe feel bad about it later.
