## Abilities

### As a civilian

Nino is a skilled DJ, competing with his abilities and making it to the second round of *The Challenge*. With his cellphone, he likes to record videos, and, in "Horrificator", he films a movie with it. He is also knowledgeable in film tropes and film crew, noting how cell phones don't usually work in horror movies in "Horrificator" and mentioning Hollywood director Steven Basielberg in "Volpina".

In "Anansi", Nino is shown to have decent fighting abilities.

### As Carapace

Carapace has much more enhanced skills, such as speed, agility, and strength, and he is almost invulnerable to physical damage. However, he doesn't seem to be able to reach great heights like other Miraculouses allow (such as Ladybug with her yo-yo, or Rena Rouge with her superior agility), having to rely on his allies for being transported long distances. He possesses a shield as a weapon that can easily be thrown and used to fight and is strong enough to endure hits from powerful villains like Anansi.

His special power, Shell-ter, is executed through his shield, and allows him to create a giant green shell-like spherical barrier/force field to protect himself and his allies, and is also able to damage particular surfaces (such as Anansi's webs). Despite the usefulness of this power, it must be used wisely, as Carapace can only use it once before reverting to his civilian form five minutes after using it.

### As Shell Shock

Shell Shock still has enhanced skills and wields the same weapon as Carapace, however, any further abilities as Shell Shock are currently unknown.

### As the Bubbler

With his bubble wand weapon, Bubbler can create giant impenetrable bubbles with various powers and colors.

* Purple bubbles can be used to chase and capture people, turning green. Additionally, Bubbler can use them to project his face and give a message, and he can stand on them to levitate.
* Red bubbles are his offensive attack: he can throw them at his enemies, causing a fiery explosion on impact. Additionally, The Bubbler can turn existing red bubbles into swarming green ones that attach to people and morph into a giant green bubble. This is used to catch both Ladybug and Cat Noir in one go.

He is unable to levitate in mid-air without standing on a bubble, but he can jump very high and can fly from one place to another leaving a trail of purple bubbles.

His bubbles can't be penetrated by limbs or by Ladybug's yo-yo. However, the shields Ladybug and Cat Noir create by rotating their weapons do offer some protection. Additionally, the bubbles can be blown away by air currents and can be burst by Cataclysm and the Miraculous Ladybug.

### As Oblivio

Oblivio has super strength and wields a laser cannon that can fire a blast of purple energy that causes whoever it hits to lose their memories. Oblivio is invulnerable to physical attacks, which phase right through.

### As Rocketear

Rocketear is able to create tears from his visors and shoot them at his opponent. Once the the person aimed for is touched by the tears, they will immediately be pushed to a far-off distance. However, if his tears touch an object, they will cause a massive explosion around its area. He is also able to charge a short beam of energy, which has the same affect as his tears.
