Attack Potency: Street level+ (Sent Hank several meters away with a kickMadness Combat 3: Avenger, should at least be comparable to a grunt), higher with weaponry (Caused large wounds on a corpse and even destroy it's part of face in 2 shot with his large M60) | Building level (Capable of overpowering Hank and Jesus). Unknown with the Portable Improbability Drive (Allows the user to warp reality and cause improbable things to happen, though its effects don't seem fully controllable. A separate Improbability Drive caused the Sun to turn into a human, causing the sky to permanently darken) | At least Building level (Should be superior to Mag Agent: Torture by a substantial amount, easily fodderized Hank). Unknown with the Portable Improbability Drive | At least Building level (Able to keep up with Mag Hank with little difficulty).
Speed: Athletic Human with Supersonic reactions (shouldn't be slower than an grunt), higher with Jetpack | At least Hypersonic+ (Capable of dodging gunfire, throwing punches at Hank before he could reactMadness Combat 5: Depredation, who deflected a bullet at point blank range, WoG states his speed is difficult to calculate, and it can vary wildly)
Lifting Strength: Class 5 (Comparable to grunts) | At least Class 50 (Comparable, if not stronger than Hank) | At least Class M (Comparable to Mag Hank and other Mag agents like Project: Gestalt, who could lift up a large compression press)
Striking Strength: Street level+ | Building level | At least Building level | At least Building level
Durability: Street level+ | Building level (Can trade blows with Hank, Survived a large axe being lodged into his head and shot multiple times in the head. Survived a train explodingMadness Combat 6: Antipathy.) | At least Building level (Was completely fine after a jump long enough to heavily damage the top of a big elevator, Tanked hank trying to cut him a chainsawMadness Combat 7: Consternation), Lower for the Improbability Drive (Survived but was greatly damaged by a shotgun blast from hank. Was destroyed shortly afterword from being shot by Jesus' revolver.) | At least Building level (Tanked hits from Mag-Hank, survived being shot dozens of times and a sword thrown into his eye by SanfordMadness Combat 11: Expurgation)

Range: Extended Melee Range, higher with reality warping and ranged weapons
Standard Equipment: None notable | The Portable Improbability Drive, any number of melee and ranged weapons, his most prominent weapon is a street sign with an exclamation mark. | The Halo
*Optional Equipment: Jetpack, Large M60 | None notable
Intelligence: Genius (WoG considers Hofnarr the smartest man in the entire verse. Discovered and was capable of containing Dissonant energy with his Divergence Engine technology, which is a corrupting force that comes from Hell, which can warp logic and distort the mind of anyone who perceives it. implied he could weaponize said energy if he were forced to.) | Unknown, possibly Genius (While Tricky is a skilled combatant who can easily outmatch Hank and Jesus even when they're fighting together, he is far from sane and tends to risk himself unnecessarily and counter himself just for his joy of screwing things up. Being a resident of Nevada, he can navigate through pockets of space and two separate measurement systems with ease and fight as an extremely technical mercenary through them. Despite this, he still seems to retain some of his intelligence from when he was Dr. Hofnarr.)
Weaknesses: None notable | Tricky is absolutely insane and resurrects people who can kill him for fun. If the Portable Improbability Drive takes extensive damage, he loses his resistances to BFR and Soul Manipulation. Beings such as The Retainers can subdue his powers. His immortality is not reliable, as sometimes the Higher Powers don't resurrect him at all, although it's more reliable and faster than with Jesus and Hank | None notable

*Portable Improbability Drive: With the device, Tricky is capable of bending and breaking reality to suit his own needs. While his degree of proficiency over it is unknown, he has used it to resurrect himself and render his deaths as 'INVALID', as well as call upon buildings full of agents and a train.
*The Higher Powers: The Higher Powers are a supernatural medium that look over Tricky, finding earth conflict amusing being the cause of Tricky's constant resurrection.
*Hell: In his Madness Combat 11 form, Tricky manifests in the real world as a large skeletal monster. In this form, he will use creation and summon spam along with extremely high strength to force his opponents through black portals, which transfer them to Hell. In here, Tricky gains an assortment of new abilities, and resurrects every time he is killed. Exact requirements to kill him are unknown, but he does fiercely defend The Halo and dies when struck with the white streaks from the sky.
