Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Heart-Shaped Herb Enhancement: After having consumed the 'Heart-Shaped Herb', Azzuri's physical attributes have been greatly enhanced to levels comparable to a super soldier. These powers are long-lasting, at least until the user drinks a serum to negate the powers of the herbs for a trial combat for a fair fight to become King of Wakanda, when he became a regular human.
  • Enhanced Strength: Azzuri's strength is tremendously enhanced beyond the peak of human potential, moving into the early levels of superhuman condition.
  • Enhanced Speed: Azzuri can move at speeds beyond the peak of human potential, moving into the early levels of superhuman condition.
  • Enhanced Stamina: Azzuri's musculature produces fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. T'Chaka's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity, greater than of normal humans.
  • Enhanced Durability: Azzuri is much more durable than a normal human being.
  • Enhanced Agility: Azzuri's agility is outstanding, far greater than Olympic athletes. He can coordinate his body with perfect balance, equilibrium, flexibility, and dexterity. His movements are akin to an actual panther, being capable of crawl and climb through walls and leap great distances with accuracy.
  • Enhanced Reflexes: Azzuri's reflexes are beyond human potential and superior to those of the finest athlete.
