# Attributes

## Powers

**Chi Manipulation:** As a result of absorbing fragments of his father's visor, Victor can draw into himself chi and cultural energy from his environment, enhancing his body. He can demonstrate superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, generation of personal force fields and accelerated healing; Victor glows when empowered in the same way when Iron Fist powers up his chi fist punch. He can explode chi outward through punches, and can channel messages through bioelectric frequencies. He sometimes experiences memories of those who died in the tenement's explosion. Captain America (Sam Wilson) and Tony Stark considered him to be a Gamma Level Threat. The level of Victor's enhancements is proportional to the amount of cultural energy he can draw from the environment, meaning the older the location, the longer history it has, therefore it possesses more energy for Victor to absorb. Victor's powers also work better the more he knows about his surroundings, especially if he has a personal connection to them. Because of this, he wears a pair of goggles that directly feed into his brain information about his surroundings.

* **Power Augmentation:** Victor can use chi to enhance the vitality or superpowers of others while in direct contact with them. He recently displayed enhanced abilities of chi in conjunction with White Tiger: he was able to track her by her chi signature, and transfer the chi from the entirety of New York City into the spirit of the White Tiger to defeat Shuma-Gorath.
* **Energy Absorption:** Reacting on instinct when first matched against Iron Fist, Vic managed to absorb and nullify his signature strike leeching off his chi energy into himself. He's since learned to control this aspect of his abilities more openly with training and practice.
* **Skill Mimicry:** Danny says that when Vic's building exploded, he absorbed the lifeforce (chi) of all the deceased people in self-defense, including one of Iron Fist's Thunder Dojo students, Javier de Paz. Javier was the only student who mastered the "Screaming Eagle Slap" but was killed in Bullseye's blast. Danny surmises that this is how Victor knows the K'un L'un technique without ever having practiced it himself. Victor absorbed the life-force (chi) of 107 people. The only added skill that we know of is his innate martial arts abilities gained from Javier. In a city like New York it would be normal that Victor would also have other innate skills. This has yet to be seen but different languages, political and legal knowledge, medical/nursing skills, Detective/deductive skill or computer/hacking skills would all be more likely than mastering the "Screaming Eagle Slap.
* **Memory Condition**: Victor's powers stem from reading and assimilating chi from the surrounding area by gleaning all manner of information and ancient knowledge from anything or anyone by which he can draw esoteric information. Victor turns that information into raw power, learning everything he can through this and gaining new, greater levels of power from it.
* **Size Manipulation:** With a proper influx of Chi, Victor can temporarily augment his bodily mass and tissue density making his attacks stronger, enabling him to hit infinitely harder than normal.

## Abilities

**Skilled Martial Artist:** Through absorbing De Paz's memories and from direct training from Iron Fist, Victor is a skilled martial artist.

**Bilingualism:** Víctor is able to speak both English and Spanish.>

## Weaknesses

Bioelectric jamming devices can temporarily inhibit Victor's power.

Areas that are daily scrubbed clean and or constantly remodeled on a regular basis leaves Power Man powerless as he needs fresh memories to draw power and information from.
