**Dimensional Travel**: Van Harden is capable of forcefully causing people to travel into dimensions. He is seemingly able to also travel here at will.

**Electrokinesis**: Like conduits of the Speed generation, Van Harden also generates large amounts of electrical energy from his body, although his energy is negative in nature.

**Speed Force Negation**: Van Harden can disrupt speedsters connection to Speed Force by "contaminating" it with the negative energy he generates. This allows him to remove aspects of their powers, such as their protective aura, causing them to burst into flames.

**Enhanced Senses**: Van Harden's senses are enhanced, allowing him to perceive the world at a normal, or slowed rate attuned how fast he is moving.

## Weakness

Van Harden's speed does not always work on all surfaces, like ice or strong adhesives, which can make it hard to control or slow him down.

Van Harden overconfidence and arrogant can lead to his downfall.

**Anti-speedster weapons:** The Legends have an arsenal of anti-speedster guns, invented by Van Harden himself, which would allow the user to momentarily slow Van Harden down. However, Harden showed himself resistant to the weapons, restoring his powers after mere moments.

**Positive tachyons:** Since the Negative Speed Force is the opposite of the regular Speed Force, positive tachyons are theorized to weaken Van Harden's powers as he produces negative tachyons. However, negative tachyons can also leech off positive tachyons to draw power. This suggests that too much positive tachyons can actually offset negative tachyons.

**Cold temperatures:** Much like other speedsters, Van Harden seems to be weakened or at least momentarily stunned when exposed to an extremely cold environment. This was proven when Windward's powers knocks Van Harden unconscious for a short period of time.

**Irregular gravity:** Van Harden is unable to access his speed while in space or on the moon. While Hendrix suggests this is because of the lack of gravity, Van Harden is still unable to phase or vibrate himself while tied up on the moon, which does possess a gravitational force. However, this may simply be because of the differing gravitational forces of Earth and the moon, meaning that Van Harden would be able to phase in that particular level of gravity. Also, he needed to manually restore his normal appearance with the appearance-stealing cord instead of vibrating on his own power. He can however still access his speed and phasing abilities to their fullest effect when Earth-level gravity is artificially replicated (e.g. on the *Waverider*).

**Nanites:** When Van Harden was shot with a nanite arrow, he lost his powers for a short amount of time even though Doctor Hawkins said it'd take away his speed for "quite awhile," and he could somewhat vibrate, allowing him to phase the nanites out of his body, instantly restoring his powers.

**Time alterations:** While willing to make huge leaps through time and likewise meddle with events, Van harden still has a great respect and fear of time manipulation done recklessly. This is from fear of both undoing his own future and the existence of the Time Wraiths who act as guardians to the Speed Force's energy. Even more while existing as a time remnant as his past self was erased from existence, Van Harden was forced to constantly run, even through the timeline itself, to avoid getting killed by the relentlessly hunting of the counterpart, of which Van Harden was utterly terrified of facing. After his return from some unknown place, Van Harden seems to have solved his problem with the counterpart. He claimed to discover that "the timeline is malleable" and was able to predict the timeline with ease.

**Lack of host body:** As negative tachyons, Van Harden does not have a stable form and has to possess an person to remain stable as well as the connection to the Negative Speed Force. In addition, when he possesses someone, he has to make them fully give in to their negative emotions (such as Nash Wells's despair and guilt over losing Maya) in order to completely take over their body. Until he's fully taken over his host, he cannot access the Negative Speed Force.
