ABOMBINATION

2435406-abomination.jpg


Height: 6'8"

Weight: 980lbs.

Eyes: Green

Hair: None

Unusual Features: Abomination naturally has an appearance that holds reptilian features such as scales, rigged eyebrows, three fingers and two toes, and claws. After his incident of being doused by toxic waste, Abomination's skin and facial features held a melted appearance and having almost half of his face horribly disfigured, eventually his appearance returned back to it's normal reptilian state.

The history of one of Hulk’s greatest enemies, the Abomination, who was one of the greatest rivals for the Green Goliath, began with the Yugoslavian spy known as Emil Blonsky. A man who fought for his country and their ideals, Emil was a married man who held a somewhat unstable relationship with Nadia Blonsky. Even though Emil cherished his talented wife with her stage dancing, their marriage held rough edges when Emil occasionally resulted to hitting his wife in a state of rage. After being given a specific mission to travel to the United States and infiltrate one of their military bases to sabotage all nuclear warheads, missiles, and any other equipment that would give the U.S the upper hand for a possible upcoming war, Emil enjoyed one last supper with Nadia before leaving with the promise of returning to Nadia. After managing to enter the US with a partner known as Bogatin and infiltrate an Air Force Base within New Mexico while taking the disguise of an MP, Blonsky also found himself stumbling onto the same base where Dr Bruce Banner (Hulk) usually conducts his gamma radiation experiments. Even though Blonsky was designated to fulfill his primary mission, this plan changed when the alien entity known as the Stranger made the attempt of using the Hulk as a means to destroy humanity after deeming humanity irresponsible. When Hulk reverted back into Banner, because of how the Stranger had no control over Banner, he attempted to prevent the Stranger’s goal on controlling the Hulk by committing suicide. Banner tried to go about doing this by using a machine that would bombard Banner with enough gamma radiation to where it would kill both him and the Hulk, also unaware that Blonsky was hidden within the room and secretly recording Banner’s actions. But before using the machine, Banner was escorted from the laboratory by security and General Ross, leaving Blonsky alone with the radiation machine. Because of curiosity, Blonsky who was unaware of the machines design and nature, stood in front of the machine before activating it. Being bombarded with great amounts of gamma radiation, Blonsky went through a mutagenetic effect that rapidly transformed him into a massive and hideously looking monster.

Blonsky’s transformation found itself driving him into a state of shock and rage that resulted with the Air Force Base being under attack by Blonsky, and which also resulted with Banner being transformed into the Hulk. With the Hulk battling Blonsky and easily being bested by Blonsky when proving to a greater force compared to the Hulk, it was also during this time where Blonsky earned the name Abomination from the horrorified Betty Ross, who was also kidnapped by the monster after defeating the Hulk. After being revived, Hulk reverted back to Banner who instantly designed a machine that would decrease Abomination’s strength, managing to do so, Banner accidentally reverted back into the Hulk again and pursued after Abomination. As both Hulk and Abomination pursued in another brawl, both monsters were unaware that the Stranger was watching. Resulting with the battle ending when the Stranger interrupted the fight and taking Abomination so that he could use him as an agent for his own purposes, thus ending the Abomination's rampage. Even though Bogatin was aware of Emil's transformation, as to what happened to him or where he went after the whole ordeal remains unknown. Emil's wife, Nadia never learned from her husbands transformation and assumed that he died during his mission, leaving Nadia to spend a great portion of her years believing herself to be a widow.

Abomination-Comic_1275053516.jpg


When Betty Ross dies in the title Hulk, Banner mistakenly thinks her proximity to the Hulk has induced a fatal case of radiation poisoning. Using a gamma device, a vindictive General Ross tracks what he believes to be the Hulk to a destroyed town, where the Abomination reveals he was the true culprit. Despite baiting a newly arrived Hulk, the character is unable to force the Hulk to fight and departs.

13018-2353-14593-1-marvel-super-heroes_super.jpg


The Abomination reappears after the events of World War Hulk, encountering a new foe called the Red Hulk. This new opponent savagely beats, shoots, and kills the Abomination. The character reappears in the court of the death god Pluto, attacking the Olympian god when he loses power over the dead. Later on, it is revealed that the Abomination's killer, the Red Hulk is actually General Ross's gamma-powered alter ego; he killed Blonsky as an act of revenge for his deliberate gamma poisoning (and later death) of Ross's daughter Betty.

hulk25-fight.jpg




Abomination is nearly comparable to the Hulk within the fields of strength, stamina, speed, and durability. But because of how Emil was given a stronger dose of radiation that was meant for killing the Hulk, Abomination holds different traits of his own that do in fact make him greater in some ways when being comparable with the Hulk. Unlike the Hulk, Abomination has retained his intelligence when being transformed and also retains full memory of the events during his time as Abomination when reverting back to normal. But Abomination doesn’t have the will or ability to revert back into normal form like Hulk does when changing into Banner, unless going through certain experiments that would separate Emil Blonsky from the Abomination form.

The Abominations strength level is slightly greater than the Hulk’s, but unlike the Hulk his strength level doesn’t increase with emotional rage or any other known inner sources. The reptilian features also supports Abominations level of pain resistance seeing how his whole body is scaled and armored. Even though Abomination possibly may hold a greater pain threshold than the Hulk with firearms, fire damage, weather damage, disease, shock resistance, blunt force, explosives, and missiles, Abomination is still vulnerable to massive explosions and to certain types of experimental chemicals and toxic materials. A unique feature that Abomination holds is that when his body takes a great amount damage to where he would possibly face near-death, Abomination’s body would automatically go into suspended animation and still retain full strength and health after being revived. It’s also unclear of the source of why Emil would transform with reptilian features or that he possibly held mutant traits prior to his transformation that resulted with his current appearance.

BANNERLESS HULK

BannerlessBan2.gif


Height:6' 6"

Weight: 900lbs.

During the fight against Onslaught the Hulk was rearranged to turn off the Banner side so that the ferocity of the Hulk could rage on against Onslaught. Hulk managed to hurt Onslaught, but in the process was seperated physically from Bruce Banner. Banner and a number of other heroes were sucked into an alterante universe created by Franklin Richards. The Hulk in effect became the nexus of this new universe. A connection point because parts of him could be found on both Richards' universe and the Marvel universe.

Special limitations: The seperation of the Hulk and Banner has never been real healthy for either. Hulk began to become unstable from his separation. He got stronger and stronger, but also came closer and closer to a "critical mass". Hulk was glowing from all the radiation leakng off him before Bruce Banner returned from the Heroes Reborn Universe.

RED SHE-HULK

1250192-1233329_red_she_hulk_1_super.jpg



During the 2010 "Fall of the Hulks" storyline, Betty is revealed to have been resurrected by the Leader and MODOK, due to the urgings of their new ally, her father Thunderbolt Ross, who had previously kept her body in cryonic stasis. She also undergoes the same process that turned her father into the Red Hulk, which grants her vast superhuman physical power. The now villainous Doc Samson also helps Leader to brainwash Betty into an extremely confused and aggressive state. Ross' allies are aware of his intentions to betray them and send Betty, as the "Red She-Hulk", to help assassinate her father, who was hunting the mercenary Domino, after she witnessed him transform from his human form. Their encounter ended with Red She-Hulk kicking Red Hulk off the Empire State Building.

fallofthehulks_poster.jpg


1266960340-726256.JPG


After Ross fakes his own death, Betty also appears as herself at his "funeral", accompanied by a Life Model Decoy of Glenn Talbot to constantly monitor and control her, and expresses distrust of Bruce due to his recent marriage to Caiera on Sakaar and his subsequent attack on Manhattan.

During the 2010 "World War Hulks" storyline, after Skaar stabs her with his sword, the new She-Hulk reverts back to her human form, officially revealing her true identity. Betty explains how she was brought back to life, and asks that Bruce allow her to die. However, when Samson arrives, Betty's anger at his betrayal transforms her back into the Red She-Hulk, thus healing her injuries. Now once again in control of her own mind Betty (as Red She-Hulk) helps Bruce/Hulk to reconcile with his son Skaar. When Bruce gains the upper hand in the ensuing final battle against Ross, Betty turns worried for her father, which, combined with her heightened aggression when transformed, leads into conflict with the original She-Hulk, who prevails. After Ross is defeated and imprisoned, Betty nonetheless convinces Bruce to grant her father an opportunity for rehabilitation and redemption.


1117926-1107107_srulk.jpg


In the aftermath of the Leader's attempted takeover, Betty tells Bruce that they are no longer married, since she was declared legally dead and everyone else knows that Bruce had married Caiera. However the last series, the Hulk family defeat Fin Fang Foom. Afterwards Betty and Bruce resume their relationship.

Red She-Hulk is also present in the "Chaos War" and "Fear Itself" storylines in 2010 and 2011 respectively. She is subsequently a cast member in the ongoing Defenders series (volume 4) that debuted in December 2011 under writer Matt Fraction.


tumblr_lkdire44De1qhpx4lo1_500.jpg


Powers and abilities

As the Red She-Hulk, Betty has enormous superhuman strength, stamina, durability, and a healing factor that allows her to easily survive what would normally be fatal injuries to humans, such as stab wounds to the leg and abdomen by Wolverine's claws. Similarly to her ex-husband, Betty's strength level is so vast that it warps the laws of physics even further than standard for other characters in the same fictional continuity, for example allowing her to punch her way through dimensional barriers between different universes, and is far stronger than the regular She-Hulk.

She shares the Red Hulk's ability to absorb energy, such as the gamma radiation from other Hulks, thereby reverting those beings to human form, and at least temporarily boosting herself. According to Banner, there were plans to remove this ability through the same process that removed the Red Hulk's based on the fact that this ability would eventually kill her. Also like her father, Red She-Hulk has yellow blood, produces yellow energy from her eyes when angry, and can discharge energy by touch.[20] Red She-Hulk can be reverted back to human form if she is suddenly startled or frightened, though she can revert back to her hulk form at will.

THE RHINO


After being empowered, Aleksei Sytsevich is directed by the agents who gave him his powers to kidnap Colonel John Jameson for his knowledge of military secrets. The Rhino, however, betrays the scientists who empowered him and goes on a rampage, eventually being defeated by the superhero Spider-Man. He is imprisoned and kept there with sedation, but breaks out soon after and continues to try to kidnap Jameson. Spider-Man uses a web developed by Conner that melts his hide off, then knocks him out.

DEF42_HulkVsRhino.JPG


Eventually approached by the same scientists with another more powerful suit, the Rhino agrees to find and kidnap Bruce Banner (the alter ego of the Hulk), for his knowledge of gamma radiation. The villain encounters the Hulk but is apparently killed by severe wounds from an exploding truck before a significant battle can occur. The Hulk manages to survive the Rhino's attempt to take his foe down with him, using his last bit of strength for an attack from behind, and the villain passes out in the Hulk's grip, defiantly claiming that he would have defeated the Hulk in a fair fight.

H104_HulkVsRhino.JPG


The character is revived and healed by another Hulk foe, the Leader. Augmenting the Rhino's strength using gamma rays, the Leader directs the villain to prevent the wedding of Bruce Banner to Betty Ross. Banner becomes the Hulk and battles the Rhino, who escapes and pursues the Leader once realizing that he has been used. The Rhino is caught in an explosion while attacking the Leader's ship, and is left in a coma. The Rhino makes a brief reappearance as an illusion when the Leader tries to unsuccessfully torture the Hulk with images of past foes.The Leader, paralyzed after a previous encounter with the Hulk, finds and takes mental control of the still comatose body and attacks the Hulk. The battle eventually leads to an alien world, where the Leader abandons control of the Rhino and flees. Bruce Banner and an unconscious but now recovered Rhino travel back to Earth via a rocket.


Aleksei_Sytsevich_(Earth-616)_001.jpg




The Rhino reappears with fellow Hulk foe the Abomination, and the pair activate a gamma bomb at the Hulkbuster base in an attempt to destroy the Hulk. The Hulk's companion of the time, Jim Wilson, deactivates the bomb and the Hulk tricks the villains during combat, forcing them to collide and knock each other unconscious. The character reappears as a member of the supervillain team the Emissaries of Evil (consisting of leader Egghead; the Cobalt Man; Solarr and the Rhino), who search for a rare jewel. Opposed by superhero team the Defenders, the Rhino and Solarr initially hold their own until defeated by Doctor Strange. Whilst in hiding, the Rhino is found by scientist Doc Samson, being outwitted and defeated.

The character reappears as a memory in the mind of the Hulk; battles Doc Samson and Spider-Man; and again as an illusion by the entity Glorian.


2043729-hulk_cap_rhino_spidey_l.jpg


Powers and abilities

Superhuman Strength: The Rhino possesses extreme superhuman strength. The Rhino is able to lift more than 75 tons and up to 100 tons with his suit on.

Superhuman Speed: The Rhino can, despite his large size, run and or exercise at top-notch speeds hence he can, while charging or ramming, appear at his destination rather quickly although he can't move nearly as fast as speedsters.

Superhuman Stamina: The Rhino's enhanced musculature is much more efficient than that of a normal human and generates considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity. At his peak, he can exert himself physically for up to 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood starts to impair him.

Superhuman Durability: Even without his suit, the Rhino's body is highly resistant to physical injury. He can withstand high caliber bullets, exposure to temperature extremes, falls from great heights and even light anti-tank weaponry without sustaining injury. The Rhino's costume grants him a high degree of resistance to physical injury. It is highly impervious to damage, able to resist explosions equivalent to 1 ton of TNT, the impact of small anti-tank weaponry, and temperature extremes between -50˚ and 1,000˚ F without cracking or melting. It is acid resistant and removable. The suit boosts his strength, features a bulletproof polymer mat rhino-like hide and two horns capable of penetrating 2-inch plate steel.

The character possesses a thick polymer mat suit similar to a rhinoceros hide, covering his entire body except for his face. The suit is highly impervious to damage and temperature extremes, and is also equipped with a horn. Mutagenic chemical and radiation treatments, including gamma ray bombardment, provides the character with superhuman strength, heightened levels of speed and stamina, and a high degree of durability. The second Rhino wears a high-tech armor and wields a battle-axe with its blades in the shape of a rhinoceros' horns.

FUTURE HULK

Future Hulk is one if the more unique incarnations of the Hulk in that it is uncertain if he will ever come to be. Future Hulk comes from a timeline where Janis came to get him to stop the Maestro during a different portion of his life. Future Hulk winds up killing Maestro and staying on in his place. Eventually Future Hulk became like the Maestro. Future Hulk abandoned that and tried to go back to his own time, but instead he was sucked to the time of Bannerless Hulk. Future Hulk is trying to warn Hulk of certain things, but Hulk is so nihilistic that he doesn’t seem to care about anything. It is unknown if Future Hulk did enough to prevent Hulk from going down his path, and for now we are left to wonder.

LYRA the SAVAGE SHE-HULK (DAUGHTER OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK)

Real Name:

Lyra

Height:

6'6"

Weight:

220 lbs.

Eyes:

Green

Hair:

Red

Citizenship

citizen of The United Sisterhood Republic

Place of Birth:

presumably Milago, Earth-8009

First Appearance:

Hulk: Raging Thunder


Fitd_1_she_hulk_lyra.jpg




Born in a future where an ongoing war wages between the sexes, she was an outcast among her people. Traveling to the past to save those who exiled her, she found a place where she could make a future of her own design. She is Lyra, the savage She-Hulk.


250px-All_New_Savage_She-Hulk.jpg




In a possible future where women and men remain separated and wage war for control of the Earth, the feminist leader, Thundra, decided she must have an heir to lead her armies when she could no longer do so. Despite the views of her people, Thundra chose to birth a daughter the old fashioned way – combining the cells from both man and woman. However, this fearless leader couldn't choose just anyone to form that bond with. She needed someone with power to match, or rival, her own. Having traveled through time and space before, Thundra knew of one individual worthy of this honor, the incredible Hulk. She disguised her true purpose of confronting the Hulk from her people, but her mission was a success. Using cell scrapings from the green goliath and fusing them with her own, Thundra was the first women in generations to become pregnant.


AllNewSavageSheHulk_01_SecondPrinting.jpg


Lyra spent some time with Banner but found it difficult to connect with him. She was sent to live in New York with the She-Hulk because her father felt the best thing for her was a positive female role model and to learn about the world she was going to protect. She was given a serum enabling her to transform back and forth at will and soon had a new challenge to face – Midtown High School. Banner wanted Lyra to get an education but knew she was needed to help round up the members of the Intelligencia who went into hiding. Lyra and She-Hulk caught four escapees, but Wizard vowed to make them pay. During her school dance Lyra was attacked by Wizard after he broke out of Banner's detention center. Her identity was exposed to the whole school, one of her classmates was badly injured, and while She-Hulk came to the rescue defeating the Wizard, Lyra was blamed by her peers for the entire incident. She-Hulk escorted Lyra from the premises, but whether or not she returns to Midtown High remains uncertain.

detail.jpg


Powers and abilities

In a calm state, Lyra possesses vast superhuman strength, which she is able to enhance further through a meditative fighting-trance (that also greatly enhances her sensory perception of the surroundings), as well as superhuman stamina, durability, agility and speed.

However, although comparable to, for example, Colossus, even when at her peak Lyra possesses less raw power than the base/calm level of the original She-Hulk, and, unlike her father, she turns weaker (down to at worst the level of Spider-Man) rather than stronger when she gets angry. This was done by her Femizon creators as a fail-safe way to keep her from turning on them. Recently her father injected her with power-inhibiting or modifying "SPIN Tech" that negated the weakness, and allows her to transform into a nonpowered human state at will. Hence, she currently has the ability to turn somewhat stronger, and considerably more efficient when calm, but does not grow weaker when angered.

Lyra developed a technique that enables her to fight in a trance-like meditative state when she is completely calm and at peace. Through her practice, Lyra can feel minute traces of gamma rays in every human being and use them to heighten her perception and reflexes, and in this state apparently possesses higher fighting skill than any of her other family members, being able to singlehandedly summarily defeat the entire team of Norman Osborn's "Dark Avengers", with the exception of the Sentry.

Lyra can leap over 600 feet upwards, and 1000 feet across. She also possesses an immunity to the Venom symbiote (and, presumably, all other alien symbiotes of its kind) - which she calls the "black bloom" - due to a vaccination injected when she was a child.

Thanks to her upbringing she is an expert fighter and killer with experience fighting super powered humans as well as military types. She is also familiar with a wide variety of future tech and knows a lot of future history which, despite her best efforts, seems to be unfolding the way she was taught it did.

HEROES REBORN HULK

Rhlk2.jpg


heroesreturn2.jpg


Height: Unknown

Weight: Unknown

Powers: No specifics are really known about the Heroes Reborn Hulk. As a concept the Heroes Reborn Hulk seems to follow along the lines of the Savage Hulk, and so one might assume that the height, weight, abilities, etc of the Heroes Reborn Hulk might correspond with the Savage Hulk with two notable exceptions. One, in the Marvel Universe the Hulk was instrumental in defeating Onslaught, but he paid a price. Hulk and Banner were split into two separate entities- the Hulk and Banner. The heroes of the Marvel Universe then charged into Onslaught defeating him. Bruce Banner awoke from his fight with Onslaught and must have realized what the other heroes had done because he too jumped into the power of Onslaught. Franklin Richards gathered the heroes together in a pocket universe. Since the Hulk existed in both dimensions he became an axis point between the two worlds. Because of this the Hulk that exists in the Heroes Reborn universe was somewhat more powerful than the other heroes. Secondly, that this Hulk has the power to walk around stark naked.

The only real characterization that can be learned from this retread is that perhaps people who are cursed are most likely cursed whereever they go.

Appearances: Incredible Hulk #450

Hulk's current run is weird as fuck. The separation arc was a dope concept but bruce is merged back somehow and Hulk gotta stay angry or turn back into psycho Bruce

@Morganfreemanking yeah the current run is a trip, i like the way this run is going for the first time Hulk is trying to run from Banner, Now instead of Banner Running from Hulk and try to keep him under control, it's Now Hulk trying to keep Banner under wraps.

The only thing i don't like is the Art, the art is shitty and it's hard for me to get into a book when the art is shitty, no matter HOW good the writer is.

But i like to see the Story go further, like i said about Banner.....Banner can be one of the greatest villian in Comic history if it's done right....Banner can be on the same level as Lex Luthor, Dr. Doom and The Joker as one of the all time greats.

I like to see Banner become a villain that's takes on the Marvel Universe and cause stryfe that have the Avengers to go after him to stop and kill Banner but Have the Hulk to come and fight everytime Banner is threaten, even though Hulk is innocent but Banner put the Hulk in a position to keep from Banner being killed, THAT WILL BE A DOPE ARC.

THE LEADER

Universe

Marvel Universe

Real Name

Samuel Sterns

Aliases

Leader

Identity

Public

Citizenship

U.S. Citizen

Place of Birth

Boise, Idaho

First Appearance

Tales to Astonish #62

Origin

Mutated by gamma radiation


hulk-vs-leader-l.jpg


For every yin, there is a yang. Gamma radiation released Bruce Banner’s subconscious rage, giving it physical form as the Hulk, an embodiment of strength. So perhaps it was high school dropout Sam Sterns’ desire to be more like his scientist brother Phillip that caused him to transform into the hyper-intelligent Leader when he too was exposed to gamma radiation. Working as a laborer in a government-owned chemical research facility in the Nevada desert, Sam was caught in an explosion when a cylinder of radioactive waste he was moving unexpectedly blew up. Recovering in the hospital, he discovered he had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and rapidly read through every book he could lay his hands on.

leader_detail.jpg


tta072-pic3.gif




Born Samuel Sterns in Boise, Idaho, he worked for a chemical plant there in a menial capacity. While moving radioactive materials into an underground storage area, some of the radioactive materials exploded, bombarding Sterns with gamma radiation. He recovered, and found that the radiation had changed him from an ordinary human into a green-skinned, super-intelligent entity with an oversized brain housed in a towering cranium.[3] As was the case with most individuals mutated by Gamma radiation early-on, the particular set of characteristics Sterns acquired by exposure to it were said to result from a subconscious desire; in his case, the desire to be as smart as his brother Philip, who was a physicist in the employ of the same facility. Calling himself the Leader, Sterns embarked on various ambitious criminal schemes, with the Hulk as his primary nemesis, consistently backed by a self-constructed army of super-strong, virtually invulnerable plastic Humanoids. These included an attempt to rewrite the Earth's history by infecting the primordial ooze with gamma radiation in order to recreate society in his image, with himself as its ruler


hulk115-fight.jpg


The Leader began his career as a would-be conqueror by creating a spy ring to overthrow the United States federal government. The Leader sends a spy to steal a robot Banner was developing. Banner goes after the spy but turns into the Hulk. The Spy overpowers an unsuspecting watchman, leaving him bound and gagged while he gets into the robot and drives it to the test. A guard finds the watchman who reports he was knocked out, however they can't bring down the robot, and neither can the Hulk. The spy finds Banner's caves and makes a missile to fire at the base. Finally in the caves Hulk knocks the robot into a deep pit, killing the spy. He then stopped the missile.

the-incredible-hulk-2-20081027043024279.jpg


The Leader then dispatched his ally the Chameleon to capture the Hulk for study by impersonating Bruce Banner.Although the Chameleon failed, the Leader succeeded in capturing the Hulk by sending a horde of Humanoids to subdue him.[6] He also succeeded in stealing the Absorbatron, a device invented by Banner that could absorb the energy of a nuclear explosion, and thereby render any nation that possessed it immune to nuclear attack. The Hulk eventually escaped the Leader and destroyed most of his lab, along with the Absorbatron, but the Leader himself escaped.[8] Eager to sell his Humanoids to hostile nations, the Leader gave a demonstration of his power by activating a 500-foot (150 m)-tall Humanoid and ordering it to attack a nearby missile base. The Hulk eventually encountered the Humanoid and managed to thwart the Leader's plans.



38__500x500_leader0206sm.jpg


Curious to learn more about the power of the Hulk, the Leader then rescued the Hulk from the Army, who had cornered the monster in a cave. After operating on the Hulk to save his life, the Leader reminded the Hulk that he was in his debt. Using this leverage, the Leader sent the Hulk to the homeworld of the Watcher to raid the Watcher's "Ultimate Machine", a device containing all the knowledge in the universe. However, this huge amount of knowledge proved too much for the Leader. He collapsed to the ground, unmoving, and the Hulk assumed that he died of shock. General Ross soon discovered the Leader's abandoned base and accidentally activated the "Hulk Killer" a large Humanoid designed to defeat the Hulk.

2471554798_995bb853d5.jpg


Powers and abilities

The Leader has superhuman mental acumen, as a result of his exposure to an explosion of gamma-irradiated waste. He possesses enhanced intuition, pattern solving, information storage and retrieval, and logical and philosophical structuring. His ability to predict probable outcomes of tactical and strategic scenarios is so advanced that it borders on clairvoyance.

The Leader has a perfect memory with the ability to recall every moment since the accident that gave him his powers. In addition to his superhuman intelligence, the Leader has limited but potent telekinetic and telepathic powers. He is able to mentally control non-gamma-mutated individuals upon touching them, and has toppled a very weakened Hulk with his telekinetic blasts.

The Leader possesses knowledge of genetics, physics, and robotics, and has designed a large number of sophisticated weapons, vehicles, computers, androids, and synthetic humanoids. He is particularly adept at genetic engineering and manipulating radiation for various nefarious purposes.

On occasion, the Leader showed the ability to turn himself back into Samuel Sterns, but this ability resulted in him losing all memory of his identity as the Leader as Sterns's mind was ill-equipped to cope with the Leader's intellect (although he always remembered everything when he turned back into the Leader again).
