Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Powers

Reptyl possesses various superhuman attributes that are the result of a combination of his natural reptilian heritage and genetic mutation.

Superhuman Strength: In his normal state, Reptyl is superhumanly strong and possesses sufficient strength to lift about 10 tons. As Reptyl Prime, his strength is vastly augmented beyond his original levels. While the exact limit of his strength isn't known in this form, he is ultimately able to lift well in excess of 100 tons.

Superhuman Speed: In both forms, Reptyl is able to run and move at speeds that are beyond the natural physical limits and capabilities of the finest human speciman.

Superhuman Stamina: Reptyl's augmented musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a human being. As a result, his muscles produce considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity. In his normal state, he can exert himself at peak capacity for up to 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to affect him. As Reptyl Prime, his musculature is even more efficient and he can exert himself for up to several days before fatigue begins to impair his capabilities.

Superhuman Durability: In both his forms, Reptyl's reptilian physiology renders him tougher and more resistant to physical injury than a human being. In his normal state, Reptyl's hide is able to withstand high caliber bullets and slashes from blades made of conventional material without being punctured. He can also withstand great impact forces and exposure to temperature extremes without sustaining injury. As Reptyl Prime, he is rendered virtually invulnerable to conventional physical injury. He is able to withstand temperatures as hot as the surface of a star, energy blasts from the likes of the Silver Surfer and exposure to the vacuum of deep space indefinitely without sustaining injury.

Superhuman Agility: In both forms, Reptyl's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits and capabilities of the finest human specimen.

Superhuman Reflexes: Reptyl's reflexes are similarly enhanced in both forms and are superior to those possessed by the finest human specimen.

Regenerative Healing Factor: As a result of his reptilian physiology, Reptyl possesses an accelerated healing process that allows him to heal damaged bodily tissues much faster and more extensively than a human being. In his normal state, Reptyle's natural healing powers are sufficient to heal injuries such as slashes and punctures within a matter of minutes or broken bones within a span of several hours. As Reptyl Prime, this power is augmented considerably above his normal limits. In the event that he is injured, he can heal rapidly regenerate nearly any damaged or destroyed bodily tissue. As Reptyl Prime, his natural healing is augmented to the point that he can fully regrow severed limbs within a matter of minutes. It also renders him immune to all known diseases and greatly extends his lifespan by halting his aging process to an unknown degree.

Flight: As Reptyl Prime, he is able to propel himself through the air at tremendous speeds. Within the atmosphere of a planet, he generally flies at roughly the Speed of Sound. However, in outer space, Reptyl Prime is able to enter hyperspace and travel at speeds many times the Speed of Light.

Cosmic Blasts: As Reptyl Prime, he is capable of manipulating great amounts of cosmic energy and channel them through his hands. He typically releases this energy in the form of concussive blasts powerful enough to harm the Silver Surfer.

Abilities

Reptyl is a formidable and experienced armed and unarmed combatant.
