Classification: Human, Soul bound to a suit of armor
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Alchemy, Martial Arts (Trains regularly with his brotherChapter 9 who had initially never beaten him and considered him a much better fighter.Chapter 12 While Edward eventually managed to beat Alphonse, albeit with a sneak attack,Chapter 15 Alphonse still continued to grow in power,Chapter 45 enough to compete with fighters such as Scar,Chapter 72 who could previously easily defeat him), Unconventional Astral Projection and Immortality (Type 9: Alphonse's body resides beyond Truth's Gate, and controls the suit of armor his spirit is bound to remotely,Chapter 44 and even the destruction of its blood seal would not actually "kill" Alphonse's soul,Chapter 107 but simply force it to remain behind the Gate of Truth), Self-Sustenance (All types. As a suit of armor, Alphonse cannot eat, breatheChapter 88 or sleepChapter 43), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2, while Alphonse has a consciousness, it resides in a different realm, and controls the suit of armor it is bound to remotely), Resistance to Pain Manipulation (Cannot feel pain), Chi Manipulation (Does not have ChiChapter 33) and Extrasensory Perception (His soul could not be sensed by Fu and others who normally can), Unconventional Resistance to Mind Manipulation and similar abilities (Alphonse's mind and body reside in a realm different from the one the armor he controls is in)
Attack Potency: Building level (Was originally stronger than Edward, and is still at least comparable to Edward and Scar by the end of the series). higher with alchemy (His alchemy should be comparable to his brother's), Town level with a Philosopher's Stone (Solf J. Kimblee was impressed by the power of the stone and clashed with Alphonse's alchemyChapter 92)
Speed: Supersonic (Was originally faster than Edward, and is still at least comparable to Edward and Scar by the end of the series)
Lifting Strength: Class 10 (Superior to Edward. Crushed a pistol with his gripChapter 1)
Striking Strength: Building level
Durability: Building level (Is far more durable than his brother thanks to his metal body)
Stamina: Infinite in armor (Alphonse cannot get tiredChapter 26 and does not feel pain, although breaking the armor apart does incapacitate him)
Range: Extended Melee Range (Alphonse's arms are so long he can contend with armed opponents), up to Kilometers with weapon creation, at least tens of meters with Alchemy (Should be comparable to his brother), Interdimensional with certain uses of Alchemy (Alchemy can be used to open a gateChapter 23 to Truth's realm and bind souls that reside in it to objects in the real world)
Standard Equipment: The armor he is bound to
Intelligence: At least Gifted (With Edward, could crack the code of an alchemy book disguised as a cookbook.Chapter 10 Learned alchemy at a very young age just by reading about it.Chapter 21 Learned how to start fires and get food in a wild island when he was still a child.Chapter 22)
Standard Tactics: Due to their shared training, Alphonse's fighting style is a lot like Ed's, although he does not use weapons as much as Ed does, often preferring hand to hand combat. Alphonse typically uses his Alchemy in combat by making structures to assist himself, whether for defense,Chapter 39 offenseChapter 27 or mobility, often in fairly creative ways.Chapter 47 As he has witnessed Truth's gate, he can perform Alchemy without a circle, simply with a clap of his hands. Alphonse is a pacifist, and would rather avoid combat and violence if possible.
Weaknesses: Does not have a sense of touch.Chapter 6 If the seal that ties his soul to his body is destroyed,Chapter 11 he will die. Has a potentially very short lifespan.
