Wonder-Man

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Ionic Energy Form:** The tissue and bones of his entire body have been augmented in strength and to a certain extent supplanted by an unknown substance during the "ionic ray" bombardment. Despite Wonder Man's statements that he is composed of "ionic energy," he is actually composed of organic matter that is permeated with this form of energy. Since his last revival, his physiology has changed a great deal and it's not clear if his external form is ionic energy or flesh. He stated during an incident in which all the living things in New York had been morphed into symbiotes that he was an ion being and not flesh and blood. This was the prime reason he himself had not been infected. He does not house blood in his body and cannot impregnate women.

* **Superhuman Strength:** Williams possesses vast superhuman strength, the limits of which aren't known, and he is listed at the class 100 limit.[46] He was considered to have a Sentry-level strength.[47]  Sentry, Hippolyta and Wonder-Man were capable of moving the earth. He can further supplement his strength by increasing his size. His great strength has also been shown by his ability to harm World War Hulk.
	+ **Leaping (latent):** His strength extends into his legs, as he is capable of superhuman leaps covering several hundred feet in long strides. In his solo series, while his jetpack was being repaired, Simon needed a way to get around town that was faster, and cheaper, than a taxi. He thought about the Hulk's method of transportation and realized that, while he cannot leap as far as the Hulk, he can get around much faster than walking.

* **Superhuman Speed:** He can run and move and react at speeds that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete. Easily able to close the distance between himself, a trained assassin and her target from the street to the local restaurant she was with lightning pace.[48]
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Williams' ionic body grants him unlimited stamina and is therefore immune to fatigue. Wonder-Man has been able to travel great distances in space and fight long battles without tiring.
* **Invulnerability:** His bodily tissues are much harder due to being ionized organic matter instead of normal flesh and far more resistant to physical injury than the bodily tissues of a normal human. Williams is highly resistant to penetration wounds, even from high-caliber machine gun shells. He can also withstand tremendous impact forces such as falling from great heights, being repeatedly struck by superhumanly strong opponents or breaching planetary orbit and making re-entry without being hurt. Also showcasing high resistance to extreme changes in temperatures.
* **Superhuman Agility:** His agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Williams' reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Senses:** Simons's powers attune him to a higher observational field than the typical human being. With further practice from Hank and Nadia, he was taught to feel and sense the ambient energy; phyisical, radiological or otherwise. And interact with it through sheer focus.[49]
	+ **Superhuman Hearing:** His hearing has been enhanced to a superhuman degree.
	+ **EM Spectrum Vision:** Williams has the ability to see into all of the EM Spectrum. He can see and identify radio/television and any and all broadcast/transmitted frequencies, allowing him to avoid detection through radar or satellite monitoring methods.

* **Flight:** He originally required the use of a sophisticated and advanced rocket pack attached to his costume to fly. However, following his resurrection and metamorphosis, Williams is now able to fly through the air at great speeds, the exact limit of which isn't known. He has shown flying at speeds of mach 32 in an atmosphere and could theorized to fly at the speed of light in space.[50]
* **Immortality:** Williams is functionally immortal. Because of the ionic energy that empowers him, he no longer ages and is immune to disease and infection. This same energy sustains Williams' physical vitality far more efficiently than the biochemical process that sustain ordinary human life.
	+ **Self-Sustenance** As a result of his transformation he no longer requires food, sleep, water or oxygen to survive. Simon is now a fully energized entity who can sustain himself indefinitely without nourishment, easily able to live outside habitable planet orbit.[51]

* **Ionic Regenerative Healing:** Williams' ionic form can heal itself from gunshot wounds, surgery, and even severed limbs. This allowed him to constantly survive death more often. This may be so because he has no bones, blood or organs; he is a being of pure ionic energy, allowing him to reform after any injury.
* **Energy Manipulation:** In his energy form, Williams learned he had the ability to emit ionic energy blasts of devastating force from his hands and eyes.[52][53] This was shown before his death at the hands of the Kree Empire, Since his resurrection he has done so very rarely.[51][54]
	+ **Solid Energy Constructs**: Over time Williams would learn he could tangibilize his internal energy solid forms, using his powers to fashion a protective force energy bubble to defend against attacks.[54]
	+ **Electromagnetic Manipulation**: Williams, under instruction by Wasp and Beast, learned he could sense, siphon and/or disperse lingering radial fields by using the unique properties of his ionic energy to interact with the EM Fields ore any form of energy in the world if he so chooses.[49]

* **Shapeshifting:** As a being of raw energy, Simon's physical form is purely subjective. What shape or form he takes is ruled by conscious thought as much as the Id and Ego.[52] Once turning the hand the soul of his dead brother gave him into an organic sickle, then taking on the physical form of a ferocious demon to battle the assembled villains under Mephisto.[53]
* **Size Alteration (latent):** Another power his energy form granted him is the ability to alter his size, becoming even larger and (possibly) stronger than his adversary Goliath.[53] He hasn't displayed this power since his resurrection, save the time while his energy form was tethered to Wanda as they battled Morgan Le Fay.[55]
* **Power Recycling:** When his energy form was inexplicably destabilized by his own guilt and self-doubt. Simon's powers were left unstable, as an effect he accidentally let off a massive ionic discharge giving friends and neighbors similar powers he may potentially possess. These abilities were either temporary or he could recall them back at will, the effected went on to form a short lived superhero team called The Crazy Eight.[56]
* **Teleportation:** In later comics, Simon has shown to be able to warp between unknown distances by sheer will alone. Once teleporting out of a containment bubble created by Stark and Hank.[35] And again when after he fought and bested Thadeus Ross as the Red Hulk outside Avengers Tower.[57]
