***Peak of human physical condition:** Oliver is in top physical form after five intense years of survival which he maintains through extensive training. Oliver is strong enough to swiftly incapacitate, hurl through the air, or even break the neck of a much larger foe with ease. Oliver's reflexes can block or catch an incoming arrow. His durability left him unfazed by a pool stick broken across his chest and endure blows from much stronger foes. His resilience can survived being impaled and falling off a mountain. After being trapped in a cold tropical climate for several years, his body became well-adept to ice cold temperatures, unfazed by it even shirtless. Oliver can endure long periods of free-diving without air. His conditioning also lets him recover from most injuries very quickly (though not superhumanly). At age 61 in a potential future, Oliver was still superbly fit for his age, performing essentially as efficiently as in his prime.

* **Peak Human Condition:** Ben, through his training, is in peak physical condition and from frequent intense workouts and his numerous vigilante escapades heightened his abilities into the levels of peak human potential, and pushed him to the early levels of superhuman condition, and while not fully superhuman, Ben's extremely muscular and athletic physique (and resulting nigh-superhuman physical prowess) makes Ben immensely physically powerful by normal human standards, with his physical attributes far surpassing even those of other exceptionally fit humans, with only Blue Hawk and Deathwish being on par.
	+ **Peak Human Strength:** Ben has and can, by properly using physical forces, momentum and leverage, as well as his knowledge of anatomical weaknesses and undergoing frequent extremely intense strength-and-endurance-based exercises, easily generate low-level superhuman strength.

However, when pitted against beings of far superior strength (like Superman) in hand-to-hand combat, Batman will increasingly show signs of exertion and fatigue even while wearing his Armored Batsuit.
	+ **Peak Human Metabolism:** Batman's metabolism runs several times faster (due to his strict diet and workouts) than an average human. Thus, drinking and taking pain-killers had no effect whatsoever on him, as his body burns it off several times faster than an average human's, despite him drinking several bottles at a time, to which Alfred dryly remarked that the next generation of the Wayne family will stare at an empty wine cellar.

* **Master archer:** Ben is an extremely skilled archer, able to precisely hit targets from great distances. He can shoot objects off of people without harming them and retain his accuracy even whilst he is in rapid movement.
