## Powers and abilities

### Powers

**New God Physiology**: As a New God, Steppenwolf is a phenomenally powerful divine being, to the point that he has conquered many planets together with Darkseid's Elite. A great Apokoliptian general, he is more powerful than most New Gods.

* **Superhuman Strength**: Steppenwolf has a tremendous level of superhuman strength. Surpassing the combined might of the Justice Society of America. Steppenwolf's incredible strength extends to his legs, making him able to jump immense vertical and horizontal distances.
* **Nigh-Invulnerability**: Steppenwolf is incredibly durable, which, combined with his armor which makes him almost invulnerable. Hence, Steppenwolf was only irritated by projectile attacks, was only slightly affected by electric blasts from Black Adam, withstood mighty blows from Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Ordinary machine gun shots pose no threat to him. His durability still had its limits though, as Power Girl's heat vision burned right through his armour and skin.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Steppenwolf can move at considerable superhuman speeds. However, his speed is still no match for that of Superman or Flash.
* **Superhuman Stamina**: Steppenwolf's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a human. As a result, his muscles produce practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to those of humans. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time without tiring at all.
* **Superhuman Reflexes**:
* **Immortality**: As a New God, Steppenwolf has a potentially unlimited lifespan, and seemingly has not aged at all between the first and second invasion.
