Frieza is first seen moving at superhuman speeds and flying unaided in volume 9. He also appears to have quick reflexes. He is also highly resistant to all but the hardest of physical blows. Additionally, Frieza possesses extreme superhuman strength, along with energy production and projectilization. Frieza has demonstrated being able to destroy planets with relative ease, and has also been shown capable of breathing in the vacuum of space.
Although in other media such as videogames, several techniques are added to his arsenal, the techniques that Frieza uses in Toriyama's manga and its anime adaptation are Death Beam (デスビーム, Desu Bīmu?), a sharp piercing beam from his finger, Death Ball (デスボール, Desu Bōru?), a large energy sphere he used to destroy planet Namek, 100% Death Ball (100%デスボール, 100 Pāsento Desu Bōru?), its name is revealed in the videogames, but Frieza used it against Goku and Super Nova (スーパーノヴァ, Sūpā Nova?), which he used to destroy planet Vejita.
