| - Made from the remains of a dying Ryūken's DNA as a part of the Beyond project, Ryūken Jr's DNA was further genetically modified and altered to create the perfect warrior who would later grow up to become the savior of the planet. He possesses a variety of superhuman physical attributes as a result of a combination of his unique heritage and exposure to multiple radioactive substances and human made serums. Ryūken Jr., if injured, is capable of healing somewhat faster and more extensively than a human being can. His recovery time from physical trauma is about thrice that of a human. Ryūken Jr's legs are thickly muscled, allowing him to do massive damage by kicking something or someone, or he can use them to create seismic shocks by stomping the ground with his hooves. As a result, he can generate shockwaves with a strength of 7.5 on the Richter Scale, or 9.5 if near a fault line. The tissue of his body is somewhat harder and more resistant to injury than those of a human being. He can withstand impact and blunt trauma forces that would cripple or kill a human being and suffer from only mild discomfort. He is capable of withstanding high caliber bullets, great impact force, and temperatures as hot as 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and as low as -80 degrees Fahrenheit without sustaining injury. With him being a mutant, he has the superhuman ability to absorb kinetic energy and to metabolize it to enhance his own physical strength, speed, and stamina. This makes him extremely difficult to defeat in battle, as every blow struck against him only makes him stronger. Unusual tactics are required to defeat him, usually by incapacitating him or by attacking him psionically. He absorbs the energy of any blow he is struck by, not just punches, but also projectiles like bullets, and to a less successful degree, electricity and physically based energy beams. Without absorbing energy, Ryūken Jr is just an enhanced human, though normally he works to keep his strength at a superhuman level. He can forgo sleep if he receives enough kinetic energy. He can still be crushed or cut, but cuts are superficial because he saps the blade of all its thrusting or cutting energy. Ryūken Jr. is adept at not letting enemies realize his power until they have hit him one too many times. Hitting him is often described as "punching a mattress". If properly energized, he can lift and hold approximately one hundred times his weight. If bound, he can be punched by a teammate until he is strong enough to break the bonds. He is also adept at taunting foes into attacking him. When he has absorbed kinetic energy, Ryūken Jr.'s speed is increased. After absorbing enough energy he can attack more quickly than opponents can react. Ryūken Jr.'s stamina in increased beyond normal human levels when he absorbs kinetic energy. Ryūken Jr's over-developed legs allows him to jump over vast distances. It must be noted that, he possesses vast superhuman strength on his own. He possesses sufficient strength enabling him to lift about 6.5 tons-8 tons. He does not age beyond his prime because of his healing factor that regenerates his cells at an amazingly fast rate. Ryūken Jr.'s agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Ryūken Jr possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. He is capable of seeing at much greater distances, and with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. He retains this same level of clarity in near-total darkness. His sense of hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing him to both hear sounds that ordinary human's can't and to hear sounds that ordinary humans can, but at much greater distances. He is able to use his highly developed sense of smell to track targets by scent with an impressive degree of success, even if the scent has been eroded by natural factors, such as the weather. The inner valves and chambers inside the Ryūken Jr.'s air canals are very dense and greatly enhanced, allowing him to create strong hurricane force winds just by exhaling sending pressured air out. The most incredible of the powers of the Ryūken Jr. is the ability to shape-shift. He is able to literally control the molecular structure of his body's bio-polymer and make it resemble anything he wants. He can form clothing and weapons with non-moving or non-functioning parts. There does not seem to be any limit to the number of people Ryūken Jr. can imitate and has stood in as a double for many famous people. His ability to imitate people and their mannerisms has stood him in good stead for his disguises. He has recently been seen to shape-shift into the size and shape of a common house fly and to enormous sizes comparable to skyscrapers. He is also able to change colors. Ryūken Jr. can phase through solid matter. No explanation of this power has been given, but it might possibly be an aspect of his psionic powers, perhaps shifting his mass into another dimension or out of vibrational phase with other objects in this dimension.
