## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Daxamite physiology:** Normally, like all Daxamites, Valor Gand's capabilities were no greater than a normal human of his physical conditioning. However, once charged by the energy of a blue or yellow sun and metabolized into his body, he became able to perform various inhuman feats.
	+ **Solar energy absorption:** While Valor Gand's powers are dependent on the energy spectrum from a blue or yellow sun, his body is able to constantly and passively absorb such energy while exposed to it, essentially keeping his reserves fully charged near-constantly. Direct exposure to sunlight will also accelerate his recovery from any injuries he does manage to sustain.
		- **Accelerated healing factor:** Valor Gand's solar charged metabolism accelerates his healing and allows him to burn calories at a fast rate, making him resilient to weight gain.
			* **Electrosynthesis:** Valor Gand's cells harness and absorbed the electrical energy surrounding him, manipulating it to regenerate himself at a cellular level and manifest his own energy source.
			* **Contaminant immunity:** Valor Gand had an immunity to all forms of disease and contaminants on Earth.
			* **Green Kryptonite immunity:** Despite having a similar physiology to Kryptonians, Valor Gand is immune to the radiation effects of Green Kryptonite.
