## Powers and abilities

### Powers

**Dissociative Identity Disorder**: Kay's mind contains 64 different 'personalities', or alters, each one with a different set of powers.

* **Enhanced Physiology:** Kay was experimented on by a group of scientists, causing each of her 64 alters to gain a different super-power. Whether or not this was their intention is unknown
	+ **Shapeshifting:** When Jane switches between her alters her physical appearance instantly changes, including differences in eye color, hair color, hair style, tattoos and to a certain level her clothes.
	+ **Pyrokinesis:** The alters Sun Daddy and Flaming Katy have the power to set themselves and other things on fire.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Hammerhead is shown to have above average strength, being able to punch Cliff up a flight of stairs. When Mr. Nobody opened up a vortex to suck up a town, she was shown capable of stopping the Doom Patrol's bus. Flit is also capable of tossing around grown men with ease and killing with her bare hands.
	+ **Metal Creation/Manipulation:** Silver Tongue has the ability to generate sharp metal versions of words she says, and manipulate their forms, such as shaping the phrase "The Underground" into a sword.
	+ **Wallcrawling:** The unknown wall-crawling alter is able to cling to walls, allowing her to stick to roofs or climb to great heights.
	+ **Teleportation:** Flit is able to teleport between locations and can bring others with her. The exact limits of this power are unknown, but Flit was able to teleport from the United States to Paraguay with little effort, indicating that distance is not an issue.
	+ **Persuasion/Mind Control:** Doctor Harrison is able to use her metahuman charm to manipulate people, instilling ideas that her victims find they must act on. At her peak, Doctor Harrison used this power to convert an entire psychiatric ward to her newly invented Cult of the Recreator.
	+ **Size Alteration:** When transforming into Sun Daddy, Jane makes herself much larger to the point that she stands more than twice as tall as Cliff. Also in the underground, Daddy is able to make himself bigger when he appears.
	+ **Enhanced Durability:** Sun Daddy was immune to an attack from Celsius. Hammerhead is also durable. This was proven when she punched Robotman and was thrown against the wall by Candlemaker trying to protect the other alters from him.
	+ **Affection Manipulation:** Karen has the ability to force feelings of affection in people, ranging from romantic love to just friendship. This ability seemed to not work on Cliff, due to his robotic physiology.
	+ **Sexual Energy Absorption**: Scarlot Harlot is able to absorb sexual energy.
	+ **Sonic Scream**: Kay unleashed her powers for the first time after being alone without any alters protecting her from unknown entity in the Underground. She lets out a powerful sonic scream that destroy most of the Underground. This scream occured simultaneously outside of the Underground, flipping the bus.
	+ **Genius-Level Intellect:** The Secretary has high level intellect that helps keep the underground functioning and alive. She was able to use the computer to search for the recommended resort information very quickly, this allows her to complete the task perfectly.
	+ **Multilingualism**: According to Mama Pentecost and The Secretary, Mama Pentecost is fluent in most languages which includes light and color. She was able to understand Keeg.
	+ **Psychic Paintings**: The Hangman's Daughter has the power to create psychic paintings. This was proven when made a painting of Cyborg killing the whole team
	+ **Immunity to Scants infection:** Possibly either due to her Metahuman physiology or her DID, 'Daddy' (an introject of Kay's father), disguised as Miranda, displayed complete immunity to being infected with Scants and was otherwise immune to their ability to increase ones indulgences to act on their "bad ideas" and was otherwise immune to being harvested of "idyot".
	+ **Enhanced Smell**: Black Annie was able to smell Cliff from a few feet away when he was in the underground
	+ **Claws**: Black Annis has extremely sharp claws.
	+ **Cryokinesis**: The Snow Queen possibly has cryokinesis.
	+ **Illusion Casting**: It's possible Peppers Ghost has this ability
	+ **Future Visions**: Lady Purple is able to see the future
	+ **Force Field Generation**: It's possible that Bubble has this ability
	+ **Fragokinesis**: It's possible that Sex Bomb has this ability
* **Enhanced Longevity:** Jane looked the exact same age she is in 2018 when she first came to Doom Manor in 1978. Since she was a baby in the 50s, that would make her in her 60s during the events of the series.
* **Psychic Construction:** Kay has been stated to be the one responsible for creating the Underground, when the number of her alters began to grow.
	+ **Alter Creation:** Kay has stated to purposefully created her many alters in order to cope with her numerous traumas and is the one responsible for granting each of her alters their individual purposes.

### Former powers

* **Telekinesis**: As seen during her fight against Dorothy Spinner, Baby Doll, while surfaced, possessed the metahuman power to telekinetically move objects with her mind. She was seen to be powerful and skilled enough to lift Dorothy and forcibly push her into a fire furnace, slam the door, lock it, then open the gas valve with her mind. Since Baby Doll was purportedly killed, Jane may have lost this power.
* **Flight**: Flaming Katy has the power to fly via using her pyrokinesis towards the ground. Since Katy was purportedly killed, Jane may have lost this power.
* **Electrokinesis:** Lucy Fugue has the ability to generate and manipulate electricity. Since Lucy Fugue was purportedly killed, Jane may have lost this power.

### Abilities

* **Skilled Combatant:** Jane, Hammerhead and Flit are shown to be capable hand-to-hand combatants. Whether this the ability came with their Metahuman powers or simply a skill shared by all of them is unclear.
* **Psychoanalysis:** Doctor Harrison is adept at observing people's behavior, and from that, concluding what trauma they have endured, which she can then use to manipulate them.
* **Charisma:** Doctor Harrison is a talented and charismatic leader who is able to form a cult at the mental hospital.
* **Leadership**: When Daddy appeared as Miranda, he persuaded the other alters that the well was made to heal them, which lead to him persuading them to throw Baby Doll and Flaming Katy down the well. And later on took Jane's role as primary.
* **Painting**: Crazy Jane and The Hangman's Daughter were both displayed to be skilled painters. Albeit, the Hangman's Daughter was shown to be more talented than Jane.
* **Cooking**: Miranda was a talented chef.
