Prodigy's costume is mystically infused with power, granting him vast superhuman strength, speed, and stamina. Likewise, he can jump in unbelievable distances. His golden costume is completely bulletproof, and can resist most physical assaults. His cape functions as a hang glider, which enables him to glide on air currents.

He often employs these grappling techniques when he fights. Prodigy has used submission moves as well, which may stem from the recent trend of collegiate wrestlers competing in MMA.
