Monarch (comics) - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Monarch possesses the magnified power of all Captain Atoms across the Multiverse and is capable of engaging and defeating even vastly powerful foes, such as Universal Monitors. Monarch's powers stem from his ability to manipulate the quantum field, and he has demonstrated the powers of flight, teleportation (even between different realities), vastly powerful energy projection, manipulation and absorption abilities, vast superhuman strength (greatly exceeding even the combined might of three Supermen, including the powerful Chris Kent), invulnerability (to the extent whereby he survived the destruction of an entire Universe), matter absorption and manipulation abilities and vast though vaguely defined awareness. When Hank Hall becomes Monarch is when he is at his most powerful.

So far the only people that have ever been able to injure Monarch are the Earth-16 Chris Kent (who died after performing such a massive attack), Superboy-Prime and Hank Hall (Hawk). After absorbing Major Force and every version of Captain Atom in the multiverse, Monarch's powers are exceedingly strong. He was able to beat three versions of Superman and Wonder Woman at one time in Countdown: Arena with one blow, go toe to toe with a Guardian-charged Superboy-Prime, incinerate Lobo (who is as strong as Superman) and defeat all of his counterparts, with ease, within a few minutes.
