Abilities
As a child, Gohan is depicted with an immense amount of hidden potential, which at first only revealed itself when he experienced fierce rage or distress. The vastness of this potential is shown consistently throughout the series as he ages and learns to master his powers from constant training and battles, such as when he becomes the first Saiyan in the series to become a Super Saiyan 2, the direct successor to the Super Saiyan transformation, during his battle against Cell. Gohan's potential is then fully unlocked by Elder Kai, which sees his power level rise to new heights, capable of easily overwhelming the seemingly invincible Majin Buu.
Gohan can also freely manipulate his "Ki" him to fly, or concentrate it into beams of Ki blasts, such as the Kamehameha or the Masenko (魔閃, Masenkō?, lit. "Demon Flash"). Gohan also possesses superhuman strength, as well as superhuman speed and reflexes, as seen during his training with his younger brother Goten. Gohan can also use his Ki in a defensive manner, such as generating protective energy shields.

Famous quotes containing the word abilities:
“The art of using moderate abilities to good advantage is a way of stealing the esteem of others, and often brings a man into greater reputation than does real merit.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Who can measure the advantages that would result if the magnificent abilities of these women could be devoted to the needs of government, society and home, instead of being consumed in the struggle to obtain their birthright of individual freedom? Until this be gained we can never know, we can not even prophesy the capacity and power of women for the uplifting of humanity.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
