Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level+ (Can harm Darwin and characters with comparable durability, has accidentally cracked Penny's shell, which can tank lightning), potentially Universe level+ limited Environmental Destruction (Gumball has the potential to get his show canceled like Tobias as the protagonist could have, which would mean Gumball's whole world deteriorating and falling apart on a metafictional scale,The Amazing World of Gumball, Season 3, Episode 116, The Money which would be contextually more consequential than Richard accidentally tearing apart the fabric of the universeThe Amazing World of Gumball, Season 2, Episode 44, The Job) | Small Town level with The Console (The Console nearly killed Gumball, Darwin and Anais. Varies from Multi-City Block level+ (Summons the likes of Sarah, Banana Joe, and Carrie), to Small Town level (Can summon Nicole and Hector), up to Moon level+, likely Large Planet level+ (Can summon Richard, who grows to the size of a planet in his Ring of Fire summoning attack) with summons. At least Multi-Solar System level, likely Universe level with The Console's Reality Warping (The Console was capable of warping the entire universe into its game. This was backed up by Anais' own statement, and the starry background in Richard's attack. However, this is not pure destructive power). Star level with the Universal Remote (With the remote, Rob turned daytime into nighttime, and vice versa). Unknown with Magic Notebook (It does not focus on raw power or destruction)
Speed: Relativistic (Has outrun and dodged Bobert's lasers on multiple occasions, has stretched his arms into outerspace for a high five. Should be far superior to Alan, who dodged Masami's lightning) with Massively FTL attack speed (Comparable to Bobert, who kicked a ball into the sun, and Patrick Fitzgerald, who once hit the moon with a sandal) 
Lifting Strength: Average Human
Striking Strength: Multi-City Block level+
Durability: Multi-City Block level+ (Has survived the destruction of Elmore Junior High. Comparable to Darwin and Anais, who survived a massive paint explosion worth this much energy. Comparable to Mrs. Robinson, who survived a massive oil explosion worth this much energy. Has tanked Darwin's longest, most powerful sneeze, with weaker sneezes casually generating this much energy. Survived a fire blast from Penny that scorched part of a forest at point-blank range. Wasn't bothered by a meteor impact. He regularly takes hits from characters of comparable power)
Stamina: Superhuman (Despite being portrayed as lazy, Gumball was fine after traveling for 7,000 miles, falling from great heights, and traveling underground within a single afternoon in The Upgrade. In the same episode, he wasn't tired after staying up without moving or blinking for 17 hours. Walked all the way to a desert within the span of an afternoon in order to get as far away from civilization as possible in The Allergy. Survived being stranded on the school roof for at least three days without access to food or water in The Slap)
Range: Standard Melee Range, higher using a paintball gun, Hundreds of Kilometers by stretching his arms, Universal+ using his protagonist abilities | Planetary with the Magic Notebook. Interstellar, likely Universal with the Console. Interdimensional with the Universal Remote
Standard Equipment: None notable 
*Optional Equipment: The Helmet, The Magic Notebook, the Universal Remote, Pocket Watch, Paintball Gun, Ghost Potion, The Phone, The Console, Love Arrows, Witch Broom
Intelligence: Varies, normally Below Average. Gifted in his best showings (Although he isn't remarkable in terms of academics, he is imaginative and very creative. He is good at thinking strategically and laying out plans. Certain episodes such as The Mystery show that Gumball can be highly analytical. When he and Darwin got jobs at Joyful Burger during The Menu, they worked their way up to become the CEOs of the entire company, sold their shares and retired as multi-billionaires with a luxurious mansion - all in just a bit over one year. During The List, Gumball and Darwin were able to become millionaires and learn to speak Spanish in less than a day. During The Traitor he performed a successful organ transplant between Alan and his mother despite their organs being invisible. In order to achieve the skill of destroying people in arguments, Gumball rapidly downloaded information from Ranblur (off-brand Tumblr) to his brain. Created many elaborate trails for Penny throughout the town in The Romantic, with one of them involving some knowledge in chemistry. Gave Clare a happy ending, which prevented a depressed Clare from moving back to her hometown and leaving her friends at Elmore behind, as well as giving her father a new job at the Rainbow Factory, her house being free from repossession, and Clare and her boyfriend being declared prom king and queen. He can play the banjo as seen during The Knights. He is proficient in pickpocketing and sleight-of-hand, as he can successfully manipulate people in the heat of the moment to get out of trouble and into better positions, although they usually don't last long. However, Gumball continuously acts naive and egotistical, he has admitted to failing middle school twice, he ignored his family's clear warnings that they were being watched by cameras in The Safety, he usually makes bad grades in school, and when he was asked what "procrastinator" meant, he pretended to know instead of admitting he didn't. He and Darwin were easily tricked by Sal Left Thumb, a dangerous criminal, into serving as his accomplices. In both The Procrastinators and The Stars, it was shown Gumball possesses poor grammar for someone his age, which he acknowledged in The Rival after Anais wrote a message in bad grammar. Gumball's laziness has hindered his progress during a few life-threatening situations, such as in The Vegging, where he was only willing to save his family from a near-death experience through the comfort of a swiveling chair, and even then, he didn't want to leave his chair. Overall, Gumball regularly makes poor decisions that consistently land himself, and sometimes even his entire family or school, into trouble)
Standard Tactics: Gumball has occasionally used some of his hax in a fight and when sufficiently enraged, such as using his Imagination Empowerment to fight Tobias with imaginary weapons, causing people to decay and rot with a glare after having a bad day, spewing out toxic acid at Tobias, causing people to combust by running into them, and escaping from Superintendent Evil's (who was Rob in a disguise) brainwashed cronies with his cartoon physics. More often than not, however, Gumball's main tactic in any fight is to initially run away from his opponent at all costs and try to think of a solution, but if he is left with no choice but to directly confront his opponent, he will usually wrestle them to the ground and resort to fisticuffs. He is also capable of making use of his environment and taking quick mental notes, such as escaping a beating from Tobias' baseball bat by blocking his attacks with a trash can, and saving Penny before she could get run over. However, with any of his Optional Equipment, Gumball is very open to using them in combat and will thus try whatever it takes to save his own life. The tactics with his items usually vary given how versatile they are (e.g. the Helmet passively granting Gumball immense luck that can give him weapons, or him using the Universal Remote to trap Rob).
Weaknesses: Gumball is egotistical, lazy, cowardly and cocky, being very prone to making ignorant decisions. He doesn't have a lot of combat experience and will often run from his opponent instead of directly confronting them in a fight. Rarely takes things seriously at first and is vulnerable to underestimating his opponents. Is highly afraid of water and can't swim. Building up his toxicity takes a lot of time and drastically weakens him. Gumball is usually unaware of his protagonist status, so he's unlikely to utilize it to its full potential | Same as before. The Universal Remote is as durable as an actual TV remote, rendering it capable of easily being destroyed, and it can also run out of batteries. The Magic Notebook has a limited amount of pages and erasing a passage reverses any changes; it can also easily be ripped from his possession and destroyed. If The Console is defeated, the game will end. Usage of The Console will also backfire on Gumball, as he will be sucked into the game with his opponent, and The Console itself came to life and turned against him, being more than willing to nearly kill him
Note: The Console and Gumball's summons being outright 4-A/3-A have been discussed and labeled as an Outlier in this discussion thread.
