Powers and Abilities
In the original comics, the mask has superhuman physical attributes and intelligence, a healing factor, the ability to look like other people, and the ability to create objects out of the air.
In the other media, the mask's reality warping powers are more powerful, and it has more cartoon physics-style abilities, such as:
- Superpowers mimetism
- shapeshifting: powers include elasticity, self transmutation, duplication, biological manipulation and size-shifting
- In the animated series, the mask is portrayed as invincible. Being almost completely impervious to attacks from his foes. The only exception to this is when he gets sick with a cold.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
