Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Alien Physiology
  • Matter Absorption: The Jovian creatures can absorb metals by their antennae, and are turned into living and mobile facsimiles of that metal.
    • Size Alteration: when having only 4 inches in Jupiter, Jovian creatures can grow to human or larger sizes while absorbing enough quantity of metals.
    • Superhuman Durability
      • Superhuman Stamina
      • Self-Sustenance: The only nutrient which they are dependent are metals.
    • Superhuman Strength

Weaknesses

• When absorbing metals, the creatures will have all its properties. If they eat iron, they should rust quickly if exposed to concentrated amounts of oxygen; if they eat gold, they will turn as maleable as the gold itself. As they were destroyed, it is unknown if they would return to their original size and properties after some time without consuming metals.
• Vulnerability to Lead: If the creatures absorbs lead, they will die of lead-poisoning.

Miscellaneous

Level of Technology:

Advanced

Notes

However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and no longer apply.
