## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

Black Bolt is an Inhuman who achieved his genetic potential upon undergoing Terrigenesis, gaining superhuman powers. As noted by Evan Declan, Black Bolt has flawless genetics, granting him several advanced physical attributes that are far superior to those of a normal human.

**Superhuman Strength:** Black Bolt was able to single-handedly bend a strong metal pipe of a gas container when fighting with Auran and Mordis. He was also able to effortlessly crush a Com-Link in one hand, as well as bend the handle of a steel vault door to prevent his brother from leaving.

**Superhuman Durability:** Black Bolt managed to survive police attacks while trying to escape. His durability also allowed him to survive an explosion.

**Superhuman Stamina:** Black Bolt managed to go minutes without breathing in front of tear gas bombs.

**Sonic Scream:** Black Bolt has the ability to release hypersonically amplified sound waves through his vocal cords. However, he cannot diminish the destructive potential of his voice, and a mere grunt was able to send a police cruiser tumbling down the street when he got hit in the back with a taser. According to Maximus, his voice can be fatal to those who hear it. It is due to this power that Black Bolt has trained himself to remain mute. Evan Declan stated that Black Bolt's FMRI scan shows that he has an unusually large neural pathway connecting his cerebral cortex to his frontal lobe, thus supercharging his vocal cords. Right before leaving Attilan, he demolished an entire building only by saying a single word.

**Telepathy:** Black Bolt possesses a certain extent of telepathic powers. By making physical contact with members of his family, he can mentally transmit messages.

### Abilities

**Unarmed Combat:** As all members of the Inhuman Royal Family, Black Bolt received extensive training in hand-to-hand combat. He was able to effortlessly defend himself against a security guard, subdue and defend himself against police officers, and outfight multiple prison guards and Inhumans turning against him. His fighting style seems to rely on pressure points to destabilize his opponents.

**Staffmanship:** Black Bolt is skilled at using a staff in combat, being able to use a baton to knock down multiple prison guards.

**Strategy and Tactics:** As King of the Inhumans, Black Bolt ruled over Attilan and its entire population for decades. He also knows how to play chess, as seen in his Hawaiian prison cell. Black Bolt is a long-term planner, as he anticipated his brother's betrayal long before it transpired and prepared accordingly. This includes keeping Triton's survival a secret and having an emergency bunker with a surplus of supplies.

**Multilingualism:** Black Bolt is fluent in his native English as well as sign language. After undergoing Terrigenesis, he only uses sign language as a way to communicate with others due to his sound wave powers being permanently active in order to avoid unintentionally hurting or killing someone.
