Powers[]
- Power Reflection/Deflection: He creates an invisible defensive force-field like shield that can make superpowers rebound off him and head back to the opponent or to another place.
- Ice Ball Projection: He can create and throw solid ice balls at others, which he calls Freeze Throws as a pun, suggesting he has Cryokinesis, like Snowstorm, Absolute Zero, and later Oliver.
- Super Strength: He was able to rip off a piece of concrete floor (150 lbs./cubic ft.). He spun Mighty Med on his finger (like spinning a basketball on a finger).
- Centrifugal Force Manipulation: He can spin anything at great speed with the tip of his finger, he was even able to spin Mighty Med.

- Most of his powers are based on basketball which relate to his actor Dwight Howard, who is a center for the Philadelphia 76ers as of the 2020-2021 NBA season.
