Bad Axe-man possessed more powers and powers in greater degrees than any other being in the universe. He possessed an extended longevity which bordered on immortality, but it was the battle ax which was immortal. The battle ax also possessed the power to merge with other beings. Power enhancement was a shared ability of both the Bad Axe-man and the battle ax. Bad Axe-man’s independent powers were numerous. They included these:
Bad Axe-man’s super strength exceeded all others in the universe. The only beings to come close to his strength actually paled in comparison. Those beings included Lance Great, Vance Destroyer, Immortal Iron, Black Dragon, and Altor the Gray.
Bad Axe-man super intelligence exceeded even Knight Skyman’s and Prince Freedom’s combined. He possessed many powers of the intellect. These included teleportation, telekinesis, telepathy, mind control, technopathy, mental projection, omni-liguism, and death thoughts which is the ability to think someone dead. Generally the power of death thoughts only works against non-super beings, but Bad Axe-man’s ability worked on a wide range of super powered beings.
He possessed the quadric ability of power augmentation, bestowal, absorption, and negation.
Bad Axe-man was almost completely invulnerable, and he also possessed healing powers.
Bad Axe-man’s senses were beyond all other beings. He also possessed rare sensory powers that enabled him to appear omnipresent. His reflexes and speed and powers of flight dwarfed most all other beings. Only one other being was ever able to move faster than the Bad Axe-man, but he was slain when he finally stopped to rest. The Bad Axe-man had greater stamina and used that to his advantage.
It was generally accepted that Bad Axe-man could use any type of energy power. He self-generated energy beams of all kinds and could fire them from his hands, feet, eyes, and mouth as well as his entire body.
He could duplicate himself, shape shift, alter his size to smaller or larger than normal, and become intangible, invisible, and astral project himself. He manipulated molecules, gravity, light, and all elements. He was invulnerable to all forms of magic.
No one knows the true extent of all his powers, because he slew most of the people he came in contact with. During the great battle that brought about his defeat, the Bad Axe-man displayed every known super power against Captain Elite and his alliance.
