Resistance to Time Stop and Time Manipulation (the Great Key made Tucker immune to Wyoming's time distortion unit), Explosion Manipulation (his body armor was designed to deflect bullets and absorb explosions), Cosmic Radiation and Extreme Cold (his armor allows him to easily survive in the vacuum of space).
Attack Potency: Building level. Varies, up to Building level with weapons (The best fighter out of the Reds and Blues, in the battle against Tex he was the only one who could held his own and clashed several times with the Insurrectionist Leader who could fight Tex and Carolina and is superior to the Demoman, who survived this. Defeated Cronut, Lorenzo, Bucky and Temple, who are comparable with the Reds and Blues. Defeated Grog, a cyclops, by punching his genital). Building level+ with the Great Key (Much more powerful than his weapons, cut a contaner in half, and could pierce through The Meta Armor).
Speed: At least Superhuman, with Subsonic+ reactions and combat speed (Capable of keeping up with and reacting to Freelancers and similarly capable opponents, such as the Insurrectionist Leader, Agent Texas and The Meta).
Lifting Strength: Unknown

Intelligence: Above Average, likely Gifted. Learned all of the necessary subjects required for his role as both a proper soldier, as well as the Ambassador for Human-Alien relations after the War. His skill with combat and tactics is enough that he was single-handedly capable of holding off and wiping out a notable portion of C.T.'s heavily-armed team with only his standard equipment.
Weaknesses: Prone to not taking things as seriously as he should, but once he fully recognizes a dangerous situation, he does away with his carelessness.
Note(s):
*Tucker is suprisingly skilled in combat and military tactics as of his reunion with the Reds and Blues in Red vs Blue Season 7. His skill was such that he was single-handedly capable of holding out and fighting off C.T.'s troops for weeks on end, and based on C.T.'s dialogue, had consistently managed to one-up C.T. himself in both aspects. As revealed in Red vs Blue Season 10, the C.T. that Tucker fought was actually the Leader of the Insurrectionists hired by Charon Industries during the time of Project Freelancer. This Insurrectionist Leader, alongside the actual C.T., was capable of holding his own against both Agent Carolina and Agent Texas at the same time. It is possible that the Insurrectionist Leader had gotten rusty, or that Tucker had only outfought him outside of CQC, as Agent Texas was later capable of easily defeating Tucker in their encounter during Season 8. Though it is also implied by lines like "Special Project", that Texas' body in Revelations was a special and advanced one that was stronger than her original body.
