Lar Gand - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Generally, the abilities of Lar Gand (and other Daxamites) are identical to those of Superman and other natives of the planet Krypton (super-strength; speed; flight; x-ray, heat, microscopic and telescopic vision powers; invulnerability; and super hearing), with three major exceptions:

  1. He is vulnerable to the inert element lead, instead of the radioactive element Kryptonite.
  2. Lead poisoning is fatal to Daxamites, and Lar is kept alive only through regular ingestion of anti-lead serum, such as the one modified by Brainiac 5.
  3. As a side-effect of the anti-lead serum, the radiation of a red star will not rob him of his powers, as it would with most Daxamites and Kryptonians.

Lar Gand is considered to be the most powerful member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
