Soundwave

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Hypersonic Scream**: After achieving her genetic potential, Charlie developed the ability to release hypersonically amplified sound waves through her vocal chords. However, she cannot diminish the destructive potential of her voice, and a mere grunt was able to send a police cruiser tumbling down the street when she got hit in the back with a taser. According to Kellan Stillwell, her voice can be fatal to those who hear it. It is due to this power that Charlie has trained herself to learn sign language. According to Jonah Davenport, Charlie's FMRI scan shows that she has an unusually large neural pathway connecting her cerebral cortex to her frontal lobe, thus immensely supercharging her vocal cords.
* **Superhuman Strength**: Charlie's strength is greater than that of any human, allowing her to overpower people much larger than her. Her strength allows her to easily rip open people's stomachs, gouge their eyes out, snap their necks, punch through their ribcages, break wrists, invert their legs, snap their heads off, rip their faces off, bury guns in their faces, and take on other Supes with great strength. She struck Emmett Bukowski's leg hard enough to cause a compound fracture, restrained a Plex facility guard, knocked out Eric Bautista and contended with Asylum on several occasions. In their first duel, she threw her around and broke concrete walls by slamming her into them, and later drew blood during their rematch. She was shown to be strong enough to go up against The Salamander, notably knocking him to the side with great force, but lost due to the latter's greater strength and fighting skills. She later restrained Miss America and accidentally broke Vertigo's arm. She killed several men by impaling and shredding them with her titanium claws.
* **Superhuman Durability**: Charlie has enhanced durability which allows her to endure multiple types of attacks and trauma. She was able to withstand being thrown through a brick wall and having her head bashed into a wall multiple times by The Salamander. She also walked off being repeatedly telekinetically blasted by Shadow Witch, the second time having launched her into a building. This power seems to only offer her protection against blunt force trauma, meaning she can be stabbed and slashed by sharp weapons. She was able to withstand getting shot multiple times and didn't even show any pain. Kellan Stillwell warned Samaritan that burning her would mostly piss her off, implying she's durable enough to withstands Samaritan's pyrokinetic blasts.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Charlie is capable of running at superhuman speeds which she used to slam Eric Bautista into a wall by running into him before he attacked Klaus.
* **Superhuman Agility**: Charlie possesses enhanced agility, balance, dexterity and bodily coordination that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete. Her abilities allowed her to pounce onto a man from across a room and tackle him to the ground. Charlie similarly was able to use her agility in an attempt to overwhelm the monstrous Salamander, but failed due to the latter's own superior speed and strength.
* **Superhuman Reflexes**: Charlie's reflexes are superior to those of the finest human athlete. Charlie can use this ability to quickly overwhelm foes, dodge incoming attacks, and even react to Supes with superhuman speed.
* **Superhuman Stamina**: Charlie possesses stamina that is enhanced to inhuman levels. As a result, her muscles produce practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity. She is able to withstand the stresses of moving at superhuman speeds or performing other superhuman feats for extended periods of time, without tiring or becoming weak. Charlie told Klaus the view of New York City is better from space, which implies that Charlie has teleported far beyond the Earth's atmosphere without any need for oxygen to survive. This feat confirms that she can likely survive the freezing cold of space and cosmic radiation.
* **Accelerated Healing Factor**: Charlie possesses the power to regenerate, allowing her to completely heal from fatal injuries in a matter of seconds. She was therefore able to survive and rapidly recover being repeatedly slashed and stabbed by Blonsky's daggers, though she momentarily succumbed to the severe wounds until her regenerative abilities began to kick in and revive her. She was able to immediately heal from multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. She also survived Asylum's sound waves as well as Asylum breaking her neck, only to revive and snap it back in place. Charlie also came back from being shot through the back of the head.
* **Superhuman Hearing**: Soundwave possesses highly acute, superhuman hearing that aids him in his fight against crime. She used her hearint to tracked Klaus to Area, and detected him in a hidden room when he yelled after being bitten, giving away his position.
* **Superhuman Vision**: Charlie's vision was greatly improved, and even allows her to see objects even in the darkness of night. She could also see the world much slower than normal, allowing her to act faster. Charlie's vision has been greatly improved to the point of allowing her to fully see objects even in the darkness of the night. When walking out of Klaus' apartment, she looked around her position and her vision highlighted everything in bright purple color. She also used her vision to view in the dark area where Salamander hid and dumped his victims, and in the kitchen part of the building where Klaus was captured. Then after breaking into Salamander's lab, Charlie entered the room in complete darkness, to then spot him running towards her. After assassinating Asylum, Charlie walked into the lab with the lights completely off. Charlie also was able to briefly overpower Salamander when she destroyed the electrical generator to turn all the lights off and use her night vision to land blows and avoid his hits.
* **Superhuman Smell**: Charlie's sense of smell was greatly enhanced. Charlie was easily able to detect Phantom, although he was invisible in the ladies' room, much to his surprise.
* **Retractable Titanium Claws**: Charlie has two retractable indestructible titanium claws in both of her hands, and one in each foot. Her hand claws extend between her finger's knuckles and the foot claws emerge above the base of her toes. Kellan Stillwell accredits this to her gender, akin to how the lioness is the superior hunter of the feline breed.
