## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Kryptonian physiology**: As a Kryptonian, Kal possesses special abilities. He may even be stronger than his positive counterpart, as he has been fighting him on equal terms even while weakened by blue kryptonite.
	+ **Super strength:** When Kal was leaving Lexcorp, his punches at the wall caused several earthquakes. He was also able to equal Superman, one of the physically strongest individuals on Earth.
	+ **Super speed:** Kal is able to move at immense speeds, able to match Superman in combat.
	+ **Flight:** Kal is able to fly at tremendous speeds.
	+ **Invulnerability:** Kal is incredibly durable, able to endure very powerful explosions, hits from Superman and even intense blasts of the latter's heat vision, with little to no noticeable harm.
	+ **Freeze vision:** Inverse of Superman's heat vision, Kal-El is able to produce very cold beams from his eyes, that can freeze his target
	+ **Fire breath:** He is able to produce an amount of fire from his mouth, in a similar but inverse manner to Superman's ice breath

#### Weaknesses

* **Blue Kryptonite:** A blue version of Kryptonite, a compound with the exact opposite molecular structure as Green Kryptonite, is able to harm Bizarro. It also helped calm him down, allowing Kal-El to gain his sense of reason and understanding.
* **Diminished intellect:** Having been brain dead for several months, genetically transformed into a clone of Superman, and then mutated by Green Kryptonite, Bizarro has a very warped view on the world in his Bizarro form. He spoke in a very basic manner "like Cookie Monster" and with a complacent mental state, needing to be coached into answering when prompted.

## Equipment

* **Suit:** Kal has a protective suit similar to the one of his positive counterpart, only with the symbol of House of El inverted and the cape in tatters.
