## Abilities

* Disease & Pain Immunity - As an android, is immune to diseases and doesn't feel any pain from damage.
* Flight - all Super Soldiers are able to fly or float freely.
* Object Sense & Recognition -
* Good Witch Defender - all systems are protected by an anti-hacking program. Even when hacked, the effects are only temporary immobility
* Auto Recovery - damage can be repaired in a short amount of time as long as the core is intact. Such as being hit by multiple Nerthus. However, automatic recovery is disabled when maximum output of level 10 is activated.
* Reserve Power - even if the core is damaged, it can be restarted within 180 seconds (2 minutes) using the reserve power. At the cost of being defenseless.
* Emotions - Was programmed by Dorothy as a safety measure so Fredrich may not manipulate them. Thus, they are harder to make them obey. This also to prevent all super soldiers to work with each other at one time.
	+ Keep-in-Check System - Created by Dorothy, it was a limit where super soldiers will "dislike" each other by using a negative emotion algorithim. Thus, only two man team are created. However, this is not full proof as seen in season 3.

**Surt Module** - A module possessed by most Super Soldiers. It is a power-type system that grows in stages, it raises its power according to the enemy's threat level. His attacks are air manipulation by using a wand-like device. He hasn't shown much of his abilities, but given that his model was what was used for Neil Armstrong's Surt Module, presumably, he can use similar abilities as Neil:

* Atmosphere Control - manipulating the surrounding atmosphere at will. It is used to draw in air for close combat, or to exhale and push enemies away.
* Air Pressure - compressing the air with one's hands to the limit and blowing it out like a shock wave.

## Trivia

* His name originated from a Norse mythology where the main character of the same name is found in a number of tales collected in Asbjørnsen and Moe's Norwegian Folktales.
