## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Mutated Kree Physiology:** Owing to his Kree physiology, Captain Mar-Vell possessed the natural attributes of the Kree race; he possessed resistance to poison, toxins and disease (systemic antidote), and a higher natural strength level and more durable body than a human, approximately twice the level. Originally, Captain Mar-Vell possessed no super-humanoid powers. However, the various Kree races had all evolved with higher strength levels than Earth humans to combat the heavier gravitation of their home worlds. Over the course of Mar-Vell's life he was, both artificially and cosmologically, augmented and evolved by a host of outside sources that all bolstered his natural Kree genetic structure. The first was by being empowered by cosmic entities, both the false entity called Zo and, later, the true entity named Eon. He was also empowered by the Nega-Bands, and his body was further treated with photonic energy, giving him additional powers, he could channel through the bands.

* **Super-Humanoid Strength:** The shared super-normal, but not super-humanoid, strength level of the Kree races enables a Kree to lift (press) between 1 ton and 1.2 tons under optimal conditions, including Earth gravitation.
* Super-Humanoid Durability: As a Kree, Mar-Vell was of sturdier genetic stock than humans, making him more resilient to impact, pressure, and temperature extremes.
* Super-Humanoid Speed: Mar-Vell was impressively fast even for a Kree, possessing a level of speed that would qualify as enhanced for a human.
* Super-Humanoid Agility: Mar-Vell's agility, balance, and body coordination were enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest Earth athlete.
* Super-Humanoid Reflexes: Mar-Vell's reflexes were beyond those of the finest human athlete, which made it possible for him to dodge gunfire, even at point-blank range, from multiple gunners at the same time.
* **Solar Energy Metabolics:** Mar-Vell possessed the ability to metabolize solar energy and convert it for a variety of uses, including conversion of the light of the sun and stars into different forms of light and energy.
	+ **Flight:** While he retained his ability to fly, when doing so using solar power rather than the Nega-Bands, Mar-Vell found that he would leave behind a glowing trail that resembled a star-field.
	+ **Photon Energy Blasts:** Captain Mar-Vell could project photon energy blasts that channeled his available energies into a devastating blast.
		- **Energy-Enhanced Strike:** Captain Mar-Vell was also able to channel the said energy behind his blows to increase their striking power, once employing this power to knock out the Super-Skrull with one punch.
* **Minor Molecular Control:** Mar-Vell demonstrated the ability to use absorbed energy to transform the regular clothes he wore in Earth disguise into his uniform, and vice versa.

### Abilities

* **Fighting Skill:** General Zedrao praised Mar-Vell as "quite possibly the greatest warrior who walked the stars". Possessed of extensive knowledge of the technologically advanced vehicles and devices of the Kree Empire, Captain Mar-Vell was considered the best soldier and warrior in the Kree Army, being highly trained and a capable hand-to-hand combatant, starship pilot, spy, marksman capable of using both blasters and ballistic weapons, and swordsman, and as a tactician, he was often compared to the likes of Captain America in terms of ability. Being from a highly advanced alien civilization, Captain Mar-Vell also had extensive knowledge in highly advanced Kree technology; due to Mar-Vell's upbringing in an advanced alien culture in which intelligence was superior to that of humans. Mar-Vell was capable of matching the most advanced thinkers in the Marvel Universe, as he was known to make great calculations in seconds. On top of that, Mar-Vell was highly skilled in the fields of mathematics, robotics, and mechanics to be able to pose, undercover, as the deceased Earth scientist Dr. Walter Lawson at Cape Canaveral.

### Former Powers

**Augmented Physiology:** Zo had greatly enhanced Mar-Vell's condition beyond his initial regular limits, making him strong enough to crush boulders, resist heavy impacts, and move even faster than ever before. Under the influence of Eon, his bodily frame was augmented further still. With the aid of the Kree Nega-Bands, he was further empowered both physically and dynamistically.

* **The Casting of Sensory Illusions:** *(Possibly Formerly Only)* Zo bestowed upon Captain Mar-Vell the semi-telepathic ability to project highly convincing sensory illusions into the minds of any adversary he came across. The power had limits, however, as it only worked on the optics of organic beings; robotic agents like the Man-Slayer were immune to its effects.
* **Bolstered Strength:** At Zo's temperance, Captain Mar-Vell's base strength level subsequently became sufficient for him to lift (press) at first 10 tons, later 15 tons; this enabled him to smash known almost-unbreakable Kree elements such as daxilium.
* **Bolstered Durability:** Mar-Vell's tolerance for blunt trauma was also strengthened, to where he was able to withstand a full force blast from Iron Man's repulsor rays or blasts from Ronan's universal weapon, and trade blows with the likes of the Man-Slayer while himself emerging unscathed.
* **Flight:** Mar-Vell also found that he could fly without the need of the rocket belt that had been part of his Kree uniform, having the ability to travel through the infinite void of space at "translight"/supra-luminal (faster-than-light) speeds unaided.
* **Teleportation:** *(Possibly formerly only.)* Mar-Vell was also granted the ability to translocate himself at faster than light speeds, giving him the appearance of flight, but he needed the augmented linens of his Kree uniform in order to resist the rigors of traveling through such means.
* **Cosmic Awareness:** Captain Mar-Vell's most impressive power was his "Cosmic Awareness," which he received from Eon. This ability allowed him to know exactly what he needed to know at any moment. This could range from what his current location was to discovering an opponent's weakness; upon acquiring this power, he first demonstrated it by realizing, not only those certain details of the special uniform with which the Supreme Intelligence had honored him for preventing its destruction (as described above) had been altered, but also that Eon had transformed the color of his previously silver-white hair to blond. This power alone made Captain Mar-Vell a force to be reckoned with, but its exact nature and scope have never been clearly defined. It might have been somewhat comparable to Spider-Man's "spider-sense" and to Mantis's awareness of psychic "vibrations," but its scope was far greater than either of those.
* **Absorption and Manipulation of Radiation/Energy:** Dr. Benjamin Savannah's radiation treatment of Rick Jones had altered Mar-Vell's genetic structure in such a way, that not only could he absorb energy from outside sources, especially sunlight and photonic energy, but also convert and manipulate it for various uses. He eventually came to rely on solar power rather than the bands for flight, and during flight, he would leave a glowing trail, resembling a star-field, behind him.
	+ **Nega-Band Based Energy Absorption:** Mar-Vell also demonstrated the ability, drawn from the Nega-Bands, to absorb energy into himself without harm.
	+ **Simulated Telekinesis:** He could manipulate his energies in such a way as to move people/objects about by focusing constructs around them.
	+ **Healing/Restoration:** Captain Marvel would eventually learn that he could use solar/photonic energy used to empower him as a means to accelerate his own recovery process. A skill initially utilized through use of his Nega-Bands, he came to realize he could heal himself through his natural ability to absorb and metabolize solar energy. Using the Nega-Bands, he could redistribute absorbed photon power to heal as well as reinvigorate others. He discovered in his last years that this healing power would not, however, work on the lung cancer he contracted from the Compound 13 nerve gas he had proved unable to avoid breathing in during his fight against Robert "Nitro" Hunter.
* **Physical Augmentation:**
* **Size-Shifting:** After one occasion when he accidentally absorbed too much energy from a destroyed star, Captain Marvel found that he could unconditionally shift his size to monolithic heights.
* **Virtual Invulnerability:**
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:**
