| Elasticity: Cobra possesses certain unusual physical powers derived from his mutagenically altered physiology which among other things help him simulate the movement of a snake. All of the bones in his body, including his skull, are malleable and his muscle tissue is exceedingly resilient, making his body very flexible and pliant. This means that he can’t break bones and is able to compress his body down and fit in small places. He can use his flexibility to wrap himself around an opponent exerting his full strength in a grip that it is almost impossible to break. |
| Slithering: Cobra has a great degree of independent control over every muscle in his body, enabling him to slither across the ground, without using his arms and legs, simply by muscle contraction. He is extremely quick, capable of moving up to 50 miles per hour for several seconds by this method. His agility and speed make him very difficult to catch and hold onto. |
| Costume: Cobra’s costume has been treated with a silicon graphite dust that makes it extremely slippery. He has also designed special chemical suction devices for his fingers and feel, enabling him to stick to walls and ceilings. |
| Cobra Bite: Cobra has wrist mounted blasters that allow him to fire a projectile that contains cobra venom. The venom can kill a normal human in 6 minutes. |
