|-|Powers and Abilities=
* Superhuman Physical Characteristics
* Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant
* Acrobatics (Can jump very high)
* Nanotechnology ()
* Self-Sustenance (Type 2 and 3; his nanomachines should be unfathomably superior to those of Solid Snake)
* Statistics Amplification (His nanomachines react to trauma and harden to match the force of incoming attacks, and Steven can amplify his stats by releasing his nanomachine energy)
* Cyborgization (Partial; Has a cyborg heart)
* Aura (As seen here)
* Limited Technology Manipulation
* Pseudo-Invulnerability
* Absorption (Can absorb energy from nearby machinery to power his nanomachines and Recover Health)
* Can Generate Explosions and Fissures of Fire
* Minor Physics Manipulation (Dok stated that , which Armstrong has casually done against Raiden)
* Shockwave Generation (Is capable of creating offensive shockwaves with his stomps and kicks)
* Pseudo-Electromagnetism (Which he can use to Levitate and use Telekinesis to toss around metal objects)
* Limited Energy Projection (Can create bursts of energy)
* Regeneration (At least High-Low; as he can reattach lost limbs. Likely Mid, as his nanomachines are stated in the official guides to be comparable to Vamp's)
* Supernatural Willpower
* Social Influencing (Is a very charismatic and clever politician who could bring many men on his side)
|-|Resistances=
Resistance to:
* Quantum Manipulation and Vibration Manipulation (Can resist the effects of HF Blades while his nanomachines are active and hardened)
* Empathic and Pain Manipulation (Nanomachines can suppress hormones to suppress emotions, along with neutralizing pain, Sam stated that nanomachines grant resistance to fear and battlefield emotions, while still feeling them deep inside their mind, users are unaffected by them physically and are still fully capable of fighting)
* Extreme Heat and Fire Manipulation (Casually withstood the heat from the EXCELSUS' explosion and his own fire)
* Possibly Mind Manipulation (Politicians are given a sort of mental insulation to protect them from mind-probing)

Attack Potency: City level+ (Casually overpowered Raiden, evenly matching him after he obtained the Murasama and activated his Ripper Mode. Completely destroyed what remained of Metal Gear EXCELSUS. Doktor stated that even a single blow from him could prove fatal for Raiden)
Speed: Sub-Relativistic (Slower than, but still comparable to, both Raiden and Sam)
Lifting Strength: Class G (Overpowered Raiden in a brief struggle and brought him to his knees)
Striking Strength: City level+
Durability: City level+ (No-sold the explosion of the EXCELSUS, which generated energy equivalent to 121 kilotons of TNT), higher with his hardened body (Barely affected by Raiden's HF Blade, even when he used Blade Mode. Raiden could only deal lasting damage after obtaining Sam's superior Murasama Blade and activating his Ripper Mode)
Stamina: Superhuman, but lower than that of the likes of Raiden
Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters with ranged attacks (Explosions and Shockwaves), up to Hundreds of Meters with his Electromagnetism Manipulation (Lifted multiple military vehicles from the bottom of the World Marshall's HQ all the way to the top)
Standard Equipment: Nanomachines.
Intelligence: Gifted (Armstrong is a very successful, charismatic leader and politician, albeit his speechwriters may have most to do with that side, is highly knowledgeable in sports and has at least a college graduate level of education. His brawling skills, Navy background, and advanced nanomachine implants allow him to defeat even the most skilled and powerful foes, such as Raiden and Jetstream Sam. He also has the know-how to act as the de facto CEO for massive military corporations)
Weaknesses: Armstrong will die if his nanotech-infused heart is destroyed (Raiden had to rip it out of Armstrong's body and crush it with his hand to end the fight), and his regeneration is negated by accessing it. His nanomachines require immense amounts of power to activate fully (He drained multiple heavily armed military-grade helicopters and tanks during his fight with Sam and Metal Gear Excelsus' remaining energy during his battle with Raiden). He'll generally try to recruit his opponent before going for the kill if he deems him worthy. It would be possible for someone much faster than Armstrong to outpace his nanomachines, which happened in his fight with Sam thanks to his Quick Draw, which greatly boosted Sam's already superior speed.
