* Strong enough to punch a hole in a wall after Ted stopped a girl fight, he was just that passionate about the fight going uninterrupted.
	+ He did it again after he was being reminded about how much he hates Gary Blauman.
* Can lift a box TV over his head and smashed it.
* Punched Ted hard enough to give him a bruise.
* Punched himself hard enough to give himself a black eye.
* Scales to Ted Mosby, who went toe-to-toe with a goat... indeed (some goats can ram into you with a force of 1,500 joules, so do with that you will).
* Scales to Marshall Eriksen, who overpowered a bartender who had previously beaten up 3 grown men on his own (though saying Barney scales to that is kinda dubious since he was personally scared of that bartender through the whole episode).

### Speed

* Was able to run the New York Marathon without any prior training.
* Fully dressed himself in a single second.
* Has a habit of cartoonishly dashing to locations in an instant, the most impressive instance of this was when he was at work and Ted informed him of a girl fight going on at the bar, the second Barney heard this, he rushed out of work and arrived at the bar in around 7 seconds (based on the real life equivalent of MacLaren's Pub to the equivalent of the GNB building, Barney had to travel a distance of 1.3 miles in 7 seconds, meaning he was running at 669 mph).
* When Robin was trying to get a picture of Barney in an embarrassing position, she found that is was impossible, even when he was already in a different position, by the time the camera caught up with him, he was back in his normal pose... this... seems like a more bizarre ability to me... Barney himself doesn't even know why it happens, he just took it as, I can never take a bad picture... if it were only that simple, at the end of the episode, Robin is able to successfully make him sneeze and ruin his picture, SO IT'S NOT JUST SOME WEIRD ABILITY, BARNEY IS FASTER THAN THE AVERAGE CAMERA!... maybe the sneeze is the only way to counter the strange ability of his...

### Durability

* Regularly gets beaten up by multiple woman who are understandably upset with him in the past.
* Endured having a chair smashed over his back.
* Allowed himself to get an infection, after piercing his ear and suffering blood loss without seeing a doctor.
* Survived getting slammed into by a bus going at top speeds (admittedly, this did put Barney in the hospital and it took a while for him to recover, but the fact that he didn't die immediately when the bus was going that fast is impressive).
* Survived being slapped by Marshall Eriksen... DOUBLY IMPRESSIVE WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT MARSHALL ONCE PERFECTED THE SLAP OF A MILLION EXPLODING SUNS, JUST TO SLAP BARNEY REALLY HARD (1 Million Suns Equals 1.0541206E+53 Joules)... but that slap of a million exploding suns was made up just to scare Barney, in reality, he just got slapped really hard by his friend...

## Weaknesses

* Cowardly, and will avoid a fight more times than not.
* Can be easily distracted by attractive woman.
* While he is intelligent, he has also been fooled by his friends in the past.
* Is also a damaged and broken man who doesn't like himself and thinks he's too far gone at this point.
