Powers & Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Viltrumite-Human Physiology: Hoodvincible possesses all the powers of his main timeline counterpart. He is a Human-Viltrumite hybrid, though his Viltrumite genes overshadow his Human genes, making him almost a pure-blooded Viltrumite.
- Decelerated Aging: Hoodvincible possesses an exceptionally prolonged lifespan due to his biology, which causes him to age increasingly slower over time. This decelerated aging allows him to maintain peak health, physical conditioning, and combat performance far beyond the natural limits of most beings.
- Dominant Genes: Viltrumites genetics are incredibly potent and adaptive. Hoodvincible, like others of his kind, can reproduce with a wide range of species, with his Viltrumite DNA overwhelmingly asserting itself in the offspring. As a result, the child will typically inherit predominantly Viltrumite traits, often appearing and functioning almost entirely as a Viltrumite. The more genetically compatible the mate’s species is, the faster and more reliably the offspring will manifest the full range of standard Viltrumite abilities.
- Flight: Due to a complex balancing system located in his inner ears, Hoodvincible possesses the ability to levitate and propel himself through the air at will, capable of reaching extreme speeds. He can effortlessly alter his trajectory mid-flight, allowing for sharp turns, sudden stops, and precise aerial maneuvering. His control enables seamless navigation through a wide range of environments.
- Superhuman Strength: Hoodvincible possesses incredible physical strength, easily capable of lifting and pressing several tons. During the Invincible War, he demonstrated his raw power by fighting and defeating a group of superheroes with ease. However, when main Invincible and Atom Eve joined forces, Invincible managed to land a powerful punch on Hoodvincible, sending him flying. Afterward, the two heroes engaged in a brutal fight, with main Invincible gaining the upper hand, aided by Atom Eve’s energy constructs. Hoodvincible even remarked that main Invincible was “stronger than he thought.” The tide shifted when Omni-Invincible arrived, and both versions of Invincible overwhelmed main Invincible, but their battle was interrupted when GDA’s ReAnimen intervened and began fighting Hoodvincible.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: Hoodvincible possesses extraordinary durability, making his body incredibly resilient to a vast array of attacks. He can endure nearly any assault without sustaining significant damage, including explosions, bullets, and powerful energy-based assaults. His physical resilience also allows him to survive in harsh environments, including the vacuum of space. During the Invincible War, he remained largely unaffected by the attacks from the other superheroes he was fighting. However, he was taken off guard when main Invincible landed a punch that sent him flying. Though not seriously harmed, he was still overpowered by the combined might of main Invincible and Atom Eve’s energy constructs. Despite his remarkable durability, his demise remains unclear, whether it was caused by the ReAnimen or Powerplex is unknown, leaving ambiguity surrounding his final defeat.
- Superhuman Speed: Hoodvincible can move at incredible velocities, easily traversing the globe in mere minutes. His heightened reaction time gives him a tactical advantage in most high-speed combat situations. However, during the Invincible War, while battling the main Invincible and Atom Eve, Hoodvincible was initially overwhelmed, unable to react fast enough to evade Invincible’s relentless attacks and Atom Eve’s continuous energy constructs. As the fight progressed, he managed to dodge a few of Invincible’s strikes and attempted a counterattack, only for Invincible to catch his punch effortlessly. With Omnivincible’s assistance, he was briefly able to hold his own against the main Invincible, but once left to face him alone, Invincible swiftly overpowered him and threw him aside.
- Reactive Adaptation: Hoodvincible is instinctual and in short periods of time able to improve. The more he struggles, the more his physical strength, speed, and durability progressively will augment in correlation with the level of adversity he faces or the severity of injuries he recovers from.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Hoodvincible possesses an incredible healing factor, allowing his body to recover from injuries in mere minutes or, at most, within a few days. His regenerative abilities enable him to heal broken bones, torn muscles, damaged organs, and even regrow lost body parts without any lasting effects. This healing ability is highly dependent on the severity of the injury. Additionally, Hoodvincible is virtually immune to most illnesses and contaminants, making him highly resistant to various environmental and biological threats. However, during the Invincible War, his healing factor could not save him from whatever caused his demise, leaving the exact cause of his death uncertain.
- Superhuman Lung Capacity: Hoodvincible possesses extraordinary lung capacity, allowing him to survive without air for extended periods. This ability enables him to operate unhindered in oxygen-deprived environments, such as the vacuum of space without protection.
- Superhuman Senses: Hoodvincible possesses extraordinary sensory abilities, far exceeding human limitations. His auditory perception allows him to hear sounds from great distances with incredible clarity, enabling him to detect even the faintest noises and selectively ignore irrelevant ones. His vision is equally advanced, providing him with the ability to see distant objects with the same sharpness and detail as though they were right in front of him. Additionally, his heightened equilibrium and balance grant him exceptional poise and stability, allowing him to maintain control and coordination in even the most difficult situations.
- Superhuman Stamina: Hoodvincible can sustain physical exertion for prolonged periods of time without showing any signs of exhaustion. He can likewise endure some of the most grievous of injuries that would instantly kill a human, excluding too much harm to his heart or brain.
Weaknesses[]
- Excessively High Frequency: High-frequency noise can have harmful effects on the ears of Viltrumites. It disturbs their balance, restricts their flying capability, induces severe pain, and could potentially lead to their death. The frequency's intensity dictates the degree of pain felt.
- Extreme Force: Even though Viltrumites rank among the universe's mightiest, they are not entirely invincible. Viltrumites are vulnerable to entities with comparable or superior strength.
