The Crusher

* **Superhuman Strength**: The Crusher's primary power is his immense superhuman strength, which can be augmented by his rage. His incredible high-level of superhuman strength allows him to perform feats such as ripping apart steel, destroying vehicles with a single punch, stopping a speeding Humvee in its tracks by stomping it into the ground, and stopping a massive Parademon with a single punch. He is able to create a shockwave with his hands powerful enough to extinguish fire and also create thunderclaps when slapping his hands together, which he uses to incapacitate Salamander for a short time. His feet can stomp holes through cement. In combat, The Crusher often uses his strength to throw heavy objects such as vehicles or his smaller opponents in order to defeat his enemies, such as when Crusher threw a human-sized Erik Bautista more than 100 feet away with a single kick (leading a doctor to state that most of his bones looked like crushed gravel afterwards, even with his enhancements) or when he hurled Peacemaker around repeatedly while holding him by the leg. Overall, few individuals have been able to match or surpass Crusher's strength, such as Salamander, who despite his greater base level of strength ultimately succumbed to Crusher's when he endangered the life of Banshee, angering him enough to overpower the gamma monster. The Crusher was also able to lift and throw a Parademon a great distance. Even without The Crusher, Klaus's immense strength allowed him to hold the debris from the crumpling U.S. Army base, with one arm because the other was still healing, along with Banshee and Emmett Bukowski, so that neither of them were crushed. He managed to do this long enough to transform and rescue them by becoming The Crusher. One of The Crusher's most impressive strength feat is leaving a fist dent on the wall of the U.S. Army base which was made of an extremely durable silicon-carbide titanium alloy. While training with Peacemaker, The Crusher was able to use his strength to launch a rock with the force of a meteor that pierced the atmosphere and reached outer space. He also proved to be superior in brute force to Peacemaker, with his punches being strong enough to knock him down and effortlessly launch him into the air with ease.
* **Superhuman Durability**: The Crusher is able to withstand blows and attacks of considerable force, tranquilizer darts and even high caliber bullets bounce off him, and flames cause him no damage whatsoever. His bones, skin, and muscles have an extreme density and he possesses a high degree of resistance to injury, pain, and disease. The Crusher has bulletproof skin and near unbreakable bones. The Crusher also withstood multiple energy blasts from magic weaponry, extreme cold in the Arctic, and great impacts from heights of several miles. In addition, Titan Man noted the amount of nuclear radiation Bautista was exposed to would have killed him if it had not given him the ability to transform into The Crusher. Only beings with incredible force or extremely powerful weapons can harm him, such as when The Crusher was painfully pierced by Salamander's skeletal spike, pierced by Thunderman's heat vision, when a blow from Captain Man wielding Excalibur knocked him out for a moment, although The Crusher's regeneration compensates for his limited durability. While The Crusher did survive quite a few blows from Salamander with little discomfort, he got a tooth knocked out in the confrontation. However, after he had his powers fully enhanced, The Crushed was only barely dazed by a single electro-charged blow from Salamander. The Crusher's skin was also pierced and noticeably wounded by Salamander who bit him several times, forcing The Crusher to throw him into the void. The Crusher was able to withstand being crushed by various rocks and later Peacemaker's blows without problems. He was also completely immovable while being hit by various objects thrown by his cousin.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Regardless of his size, The Crusher can run and move at great superhuman speed, allowing him to run at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of a human being. After the Ambush in Rio De Janeiro, The Crusher traveled on foot from southeastern Brazil, to the forests of Oklahoma in a single night, covering at least from 4,000 (6,500 km) to 4,100 miles (6,600 km) in over 7 to 10 minutes, implying his superhuman displays of leaping power, speed and stamina. He was fast enough to go toe-to-toe with Salamander and quick enough to dodge some of Captain Man's attack during the fight against Captain Man, Mister Manhunter, Thunderman, and Titan Man but his large size can still be exploited by smaller foes to use to their advantage. He was also able to stay on Captain Man's heels while charging at the horde of Parademons.
