**Attack Potency:** **Low Multiverse level** (Janemba's power level is based on the amount of evil energy he has absorbed, as the likes of Pikkon and Super Saiyan Goku can hold their own against Super Janemba at the start of the game, but by the end Janemba is able to fight an almost even match with Gogeta/Vegito and is able to take down Kid Buu. Upon Janemba gaining physical form, Kibito Kai states that he feels like he is being pulled apart just by looking at Janemba. When Gotenks fights Super Janemba, he states that he does not seem to be doing any damage even using his full power as a Super Saiyan 3)

**Standard Equipment:** None notable

**Intelligence:** Mastery of various martial arts techniques and skills

**Weaknesses:** He cannot physically attack in his state of being pure evil energy, though he can still cause distortions in space-time and reality, absorb and possess people with enough evil in their hearts and utilize most of his other Hax. He can put varying amounts of energy into his manifested bodies. When these bodies are destroyed, the used energy disappears. This is shown during his fight with Gogeta, in which he places all of his energy into a single body, apparently being destroyed along with the final body.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Ki:** The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers.
	+ ***Ki* Blast:** Janemba is capable of firing destructive ki blasts or projectiles from either his hands or mouth.
	+ **Rapid Energy Cannon:** After Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan, Janemba (while in his first form) uses this attack on Goku. He spins around to rapidly fire powerful, orangish-yellow spheres. Janemba spun so much that most of the *ki* blasts he shot at Goku formed into a huge nuke-like explosion, inflicting extreme damage.
	+ **Brutal Destruction:** A rush attack Super Janemba used against Veku and finished with a pink energy wave.
	+ **Hell Gate:** A green Mouth Energy Wave Super Janemba used against Super Saiyan 3 Goku in *Fusion Reborn*. It is named in *Infinite World*.
* **Bunkai Teleport:** Stemming mostly, if not completely, from his power to control reality, Janemba in his final form has the power to fade backwards while he is breaking into cubes, very similar to the Instant Transmission, only he does not leave all at once. This power actually pulls him through more portals much like Illusion Smash, it only looks like cubes. This is supported when Vegeta fires a blast at the space Janemba just left, but the blast hit him where he reappeared as if it traveled with him.
* **Altered Reality:** An ability he carries through both forms, the demon can alter reality. For example, he changed the Other World Check-In Station, with King Yemma in it, into a jellybean looking like-structure along with everything else in Other World, even the tournament grounds. Janemba's ability was enough to bring back the dead and allow all deceased villains to escape from Hell, and restore Vegeta's body.
	+ **Portal Opening:** In the story of *Shin Budokai*, Janemba's messing with reality creates holes in time and space that connect multiple dimensions and timelines together, which displaces people in time and allows the dead to reclaim their living bodies and return to the living realm.
	+ **Illusion Smash:** While in his first form, the demon attacked Goku by punching into small portals big enough for his fists. By doing this, Janemba was able to hit Goku with a series of punches from a distance away. Named in *Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2*. In *Dragon Ball FighterZ*, Super Janemba uses a variation as his unique attack and crouching unique attack where he thrust his hand through a portal and creates another four portals fires ki blasts from his hand which come out of each of the four portals as a Energy Barrage version of Illusion Smash.
* **Savage Skewer:** Super Janemba grabs a stone spike which he re-configures into a growing in length spear-like object meant to puncture his opponent in the stomach. Originally used against Veku but failed due to Veku defusing as a result of their fusion timing out. Named in *Dragon Ball FighterZ*.
* **Dimension Sword Rush:** Super Janemba fires a crescent blast of *ki* from his sword. It is his signature attack in *Raging Blast 2.*
	+ **Dimension Sword Attack:** This technique is used in his final form when he stabs at his opponent through portals using his sword in similar manner to Illusion Smash.
* **Spike Hell:** A variation on Lightning Shower Rain, used in *Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World*. Super Janemba traps his opponent in a red sphere of energy, then teleports away. When he teleports back, the dimensional fragments that explode out of the portal he created fall on the opponent and cut them at lightning speed.
	+ **Lightning Shower Rain:** Super Janemba shapes a line of bright-white, sharp glass by running his finger through the air. Once he makes the line, it shatters and he fires all the powerful sharp shards at his enemies. Named in the *Budokai Tenkaichi* series.
