|-|Saints Row 1-2=
Gifted (Despite having little experience by means of crime other than offhandedly killing a few people in his life before joining the Saints, the Boss quickly became adept in numerous tasks that required great amounts of skill such as assassination, demolition, precision driving, and piloting. Since joining the gang he assisted in orchestrating the missions of and eventually coming out on top of two all-out gang wars against three other rivals gang on both occasions, with almost every rival gang being headed by a veteran mob boss with decades of experience commanding their gangs and eliminating those who opposed them, and after breaking out of jail he in a few days regained control over territory that took three rival gangs years to take over in his absence. The Boss is surprisingly capable of wielding nearly any weapon, be it for melee or a gun, he comes across to a high degree even if he has no prior with it, as well as improvising objects such as defibrillators as lethal weapons, and by the end of Saints Row 2 he had become a veteran of dozens of firefights, as well as having taken down several people larger and arguably stronger than himself in hand to hand combat)
|-|Saints Row 3=
Gifted (Due to having spent years running the Saints after the events of Saints Row 2, the Boss has grown in both tactical and combat skill, moving up from bringing down local gangs to taking out global megacorporations and fighting and defeating a massive military unit equipped with technology and skills specialized towards containing and eliminating gangs. The Boss' ability to wield new weapons in seconds has also increased drastically by this point, having moved on to be able to use highly advanced weaponry such as directed energy rifles, high-tech military drones, and experimental sonic weaponry with no issue whatsoever, as well as being able to pilot sophisticated military vehicles such as tanks, attack helicopters, fighter jets, and vtols on his own)
|-|Saints Row 4=
Genius (By this point the Boss has grown to such a degree that he is recognized as being among the best and brightest that humanity has to offer, even moreso than geniuses such as Oleg, and despite the Zin's technology being the most advanced in the known universe the Boss is able to wield their weapons and pilot their vehicles with ease, as well as hack their computers and eventually take full control of their empire)
