Monster Steven

As a combination of his increasing mental instability and uncontrollable new strength, Steven reaches his final emotional breaking point, seeing himself as a hollow shell of the joyful, caring and innocent peace-bringing child he was. After his breakdown it is revealed that if Steven believes himself to be a monster he can actually become one. He is then reduced to a mindlessly feral creature intent on causing destruction out of his overwhelming anguish; in this state he does not listen to anyone and will ruthlessly attack those who try to stop him without hesitation. Despite this the real Steven is not completely gone as enough positivity and compassion from his loved ones can soothe his rage, effectively causing him to return to normal.

Powes:

* **Superhuman Strength**: He was able to destroy several parts of the Crystal Temple and unfused Alexandritewith one hit. Even though he was restrained by Lapis and then the Cluster he released himself almost effortlessly.
* **Superhuman Durability**: One of his horns could withstand blows from Bismuth's enhanced shapeshifting.
* **Willpower**: Steven was able to power through and tank almost everything thrown at him due to the will he inherited from his mother and humanity he inherited from his father.
	+ **Magic Immunity**: Due to his raw emotions and hybrid status, Steven could partially resist even the abilities of the other Diamonds, being relatively unfazed by Yellow Diamond's light destabilization and Blue Diamond's pathokinesis, additionally overwhelming White Diamond's mind control.
* **Shapeshifting**: Since Steven turned into a monster due to his thoughts of being one, it was clear he kept this ability. It appeared that as time passed Monster Steven decreased in size; this could be seen that after appearing as tall as the Crystal Temple, he later looked only a few meters taller than the Diamonds.
* **Water-Walking**: He was capable of moving and standing on liquid surfaces as seen when charging against his friends and family; this is something shared with his pet Lion and numerous other Gems.
* **Gem Half/Pink State**: Since Steven transformed while in the state of his Gem half, it is possible he kept the abilities while this form was active and could be the reason he gained the power to truly challenge the Diamonds and turn into a monster in the first place.
	+ **Sonokinesis**: After charging himself up which resulted in his spikes and eyes glowing pink, Steven could let loose a roar that managed to send everyone within range flying to the point Garnet unfused into Ruby and Sapphire. The attack also created a shockwave that pushed away the ocean and cracked the ground surrounding him, even knocking over the incomplete Diamond Mech and awakening the Cluster. This could be a stronger version of Steven's scream when tapping into his mother's original powers.
* **Healing**: After being embraced by his family and friends Monster Steven began crying and caused the water around him to turn pink, which could be attributed to Steven's ability to heal or resurrect Gems and other living beings.

### Weakness

* **Intelligence**: After becoming a monster, Steven seemed to be reduced to a mindless creature that attacks and destroys everything. This was shown when he fought recklessly instead of formulating a plan, only made animalistic sounds and didn't use his original or complex abilities.
* **Emotional Manipulation**: Since his transformation is the result of Steven's negative emotions, it is clear positive ones can work against him. This was used to make him understand that since he was there for everyone he cared about, they loved him unconditionally and would return the favor, which resulted in Steven remembering everything and turning back to normal.
