Soldier Boy is a spoof of Captain America, thus although his abilities are different, they are still the same. In addition to increased strength and endurance, Soldier Boy also has resilience to radiation and poisons and a certain amount of mental immunity.Aside from this, Soldier Boy has another ability: he can launch radiation blasts so strong that they can destroy blocks with each one. He resembles a tactical nuclear bomb on wheels. Because of the extreme potency of these blasts, a supe may become the most powerful supe on the earth by entirely eliminating the Compound V in their bloodstream.

As everyone is aware, Soldier Boy was detained by the Russians for an extended period of time. His enhancement piqued the curiosity of the Russians, who sought to duplicate it.

Due to excessive radiation exposure, Soldier Boy's body began producing radiation on its own, transforming him into a walking nuclear reactor.This gives Soldier Boy the ability to create radiation blasts, but he is still a hazard to everyone around him because of how quickly his PTSD may trigger them and how much his emotional state affects them.
