Powers and Abilities
Wittman is a scientific genius with Ph.Ds in several sciences, particularly in the fields of applied physics and sub-atomic particles. He has constructed a number of devices which he employs in his criminal activities:
- His anti-gravity discs can lift several hundred pounds each, and can be remotely controlled via relays in his armor. These give him the ability to fly, which is, contrary to popular belief, accomplished without wings. He was able to create a basic one using prison workshop materials.
- His gauntlets (alternatively referred to as Power Gloves or Wonder Gloves) can unleash potent electrical blasts or use directed gravitational fields to increase his strength. The strength he can gain from his Wonder Gloves is unknown. When he constructed one for Imus Champion in an appropriate size, the villain was able to hurt both Thor and Hyperion in battle.
- His body armor provides him with protection from assault, and devices in his helmet allow him to control the minds of others.
In addition to being a scientist and engineer, Wittman is also a talented stage magician, escape artist, and master of disguise.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“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)
