Enhanced Physiology: Austin would volunteer for a Super Soldier Program Sponsored by UNTIL in which he would be selected as both the first Canadian and the first subject to undergo this version of the Super Soldier Process through this sponsorship. Through a chemical concoction which to this day is still unknown due to the creator dying before writing down the process Austin would be taken from what was considered a weak under developed Human Male and was turned into what is classified as being the peak of Human Potential with some of his abilities being classified as being on the low level of the Superhuman Scale. Through a healthy diet and daily exercise Austin has pushed his limits beyond that of the Super Soldier Process that had created him pushing his upper limits beyond what his creators has anticipated when they put him through the process. Due to the changes that he has gone through he does not need to exercise in order to maintain his shape but he still does in order to push his limits and continue developing himself past the limits that his creators had when creating him. The combination of his Enhanced Healing Factor and his Enhanced Stamina allows his body to process sleep in greater efficiency that that of the average person where for every hour of sleep that he gets it is the same as the average person sleeping for 3 hours which means that for 3 hours that he spends sleeping it is the same as being asleep for 9 hours allowing him to sleep and rest much faster then the average person allowing to rest and wake up refreshed and ready for whatever he wants to do faster then that of the average person.
Enhanced Strength: Austin possesses a high degree of strength which is one of the few abilities that he has which could have him classified as a Metahuman for his strength is beyond the limits of the finest Human athlete and even beyond the limits of what his creators had thought possible. He is able to smash through most conventional substances with little to no effort depending on what it is that he is trying to break. When in combat he has shown that he can deliver blows that can send the average person flying several feet in a single blow. Through training he has learned to channel his strength so that when facing the average person he delivers blows that knock a person out with a single strike and has learned to ensure that he does not use the force required to kill a being as it is something that he could easily do if he is not cautious of his actions. He has shown that he is able to lift conventional vehicles and throw them around often using them as weapons against his foes especially those who are stronger then the average person. He has shown that he can fight against foes with Metahuman strength but his strength level does not compare to beings such as Grond. Austin's strength allows him to wear his costume and utilize it as if it were any other type of costume whereas anyone else who wears the armor would barely be able to move due to the heavy materials composed in the armor that he wears.
Enhanced Speed: Austin is faster then the finest Human athlete able to run at speeds able to outrun the average person and even outrun most conventional vehicles. His speed abilities are even more impressive in that he can maintain these speeds even when dressed in what he considers to be his full field combat gear which is his armored uniform and various gadgets that he carries in his equipment belt. He has shown that he can easily complete with Olympic Class Athletes where none of them have been able to compete on the same level as him. He has shown that he can compete against low class Metahumans with speed based abilities but he is not as fast as some beings on the planet where against these opponents he can not match the same levels of speed in which they could move.
Enhanced Agility: Austin has shown that he is incredibly agile since his transformation showing that he is far more agile the both Olympic Athletes and highly trained acrobatics. He is able to move in manners that even those training their entire lives are not able to move in. He has shown that it is incredibly easy for him to reach heights in record time. He is able to leap vast distances in a single bound clearing distances that the average person could not dream of doing. Austin has shown that he is fast enough to avoid most projectiles fired directed his way provided that he is able to see it coming. His skills are more impressive in the fact that he can avoid the gunfire of three foes using automatic weaponry or 5 targets using slow rate firearms. He has shown that he can dodge or evade physical attacks coming at him or other types of projectiles such as rockets or missiles. He has shown that he is able to push himself to move just fast enough that he can catch speedsters off guard and counter their moves with moves of his own with what appears to be ease on his part.
Enhanced Durability: Austin's skin, bone, and muscle structure are vastly superior to that of the average Human allowing him to withstand impacts and blows that would incapacitate or even kill the average person. He is highly resistant to Blunt Force Trauma, High Altitude Impacts, Conventional Weaponry, Elemental Forces, Concussive Forces, Explosive Forces and Small Arms Projectiles. When facing off against the average foe Austin has shown that unless he is looking at the foe when they are attacking him physically then he would never even know he was being attacked as the average person can not muster the strength needed for them to be able to deliver a blow in which Austin would feel. When facing beings with Superhuman levels of strength he has shown that he can sustain blows from these beings where he would show no exterior sign that such blows had done any damage to him. He has been seen getting shot at where conventional ammo leaves bruises on his skin but can not penetrate his skin however higher caliber rounds are able to pierce his skin like any other Human being. He has been shot numerous times by laser fire to show no sign of harm and has even gotten right back up when shot. He has been caught in explosions of various intensities when the concussive and heat forces of the explosives have done little but cause minor burns to this skin which were hardly noticeable. Austin has leapt out of planes or from buildings as high as 40 stories in the air and landed on the ground without showing injury what so ever. It is currently unknown how high up he can fall from and hit the ground without suffering any injuries that would last longer then a couple of minutes. Austin has been struck with Tasers and Taser Batons where he has shown that mild shocks cause tingling sensations that he can easily ignore only being effected by large voltage shocks and even then he can suffer high voltage shocks for extended periods as compared to the average person.
Enhanced Healing Factor: Austin while incredibly durable is not invincible where those who plan their attacks wisely could deliver blows or injuries that could effect even someone like Austin. When injured he is able to heal himself at a much faster rate then the healing factor of the average person where Austin has shown that he can recover without the need of medical attention and once healed they will show no lingering signs that he had ever been injured in the first place. Austin has shown the even the most fatal of injuries that he has suffered over the years have fully healed themselves within a matter of hours with the longest he has ever been injured and unable to do something was after he had been shot 8 times with an assault rifle and was able to fully heal with no lingering signs of the gunshots in only 4 hours. As part of his healing factor Austin has shown that he is immune to Earth Based Diseases, Illnesses, Infections, Disorders, Drugs, Toxins, Alcohol and Environmental Impurities however it is unknown if his system could protect him from such things that are alien in nature.
Enhanced Stamina: As part of his healing factor one of the things that his healing factor does is purge Fatigue Toxins from Austin's system on a regular basis. This removal allows Austin to function for longer periods of time under physical activity then the average person. He is able to function for 6 hours before the first sign of fatigue would begin to show in Austin's movements but he can push himself beyond his limits and go for up to 12 hours before he would reach a fatigue level which would cause him to stop whatever it is that he was doing and take time to rest before he could continue in physical activity once again. He has shown that he can function for an entire week without the need of sleep when he does not take part in physical activity which allows him to conduct surveillance or people or places for long periods without the need of rest or a break which can be useful when having to gather intelligence that is important for what it is that he is doing.
Enhanced Mental Process: Austin's mind operates far faster and much more efficiently then the average person allowing to perform mental feats beyond normal Human limitations. He is able to absorb information from his surroundings and process it very quickly allowing him to adapt to the flowing changes of combat and better prepare himself for whatever might come his way in a fight. This is how he is able to devise tactics to handle his foes with such accuracy as he can basically anticipate what he needs at any given time to handle his foe. His brain has the capacity for infinite learning and he has shown that ever since the transformation he has had a photographic memory able to recall any memory since that time with picture perfect clarity at any time that he wishes to remember something. His memory recall has been shown to be so good that he is able to recall memories of things that he has seen or witnessed even if he only got a chance to get a glance at that which he saw as in his mind he can review the memory and freeze the image in his mind so that he can remember that glancing memory which perfection. Because of his ability to remember things which nothing more then a mere glance he has shown that he has a strong ability to speed read anything that he needs to as his brain can quickly glance at the information then process it in his mind as he can slow down the memory in his mind and review the information. Austin's mind has been shown to be fast enough to follow the movements of beings moving at various levels of Super Speed despite not being able to physically move at the speed which he is following others. Because he is able to follow the movements of Speedsters this is how he is able to stop those he has to fight as he can follow their movements and anticipate where they are going to more and strike at that spot to take them out even if they are moving at super speeds. Austin's mind is capable of processing scenarios and the features present in his environment extremely fast showing that he can determine things such as distance to target or targets as well as show that he can determine deflection or ricochet angles so that he can throw his shield when he has it and ensure that it either returns to his hand or lands in a location that would not be out of his way to get back his shield again each and every time that he throws his shield as a weapon.
Enhanced Senses: All five of Austin's senses have been enhanced to the peak levels for a Human being. He is able to see in picture perfect clarity around him for up to 100 feet without the need of binoculars or other sight enhancements. He is able to hear various sounds around him up to a 100 feet away and has shown that he can filter various sounds so that he can only hear what he needs or wants to hear at any given time. Within 100 feet Austin has shown that he can track sounds back to their source by listening to the echoes that a sound leaves with great accuracy. His sense of smell allows him to identify substances and even people based off their scents showing that he can detect the subtle differences in the scents of people that he can tell one person from another without having to look. He is able to tell when someone is lying to him based on scent changes that occur when someone lies.
Indomitable Will: Austin has a strong sense of will which is something that he was born with and greatly enhanced following his transformation. Austin is able to resist telepathic invasions of his mind from even the strongest of telepaths. While not immune to the effects of telepaths he has shown that he can make it extremely difficult for telepaths to get whatever information they need from out of his head and shown that he can completely resist telepathic attempts to manipulate him into doing something that he would not normally do regardless of how strong the telepath is. His strong sense of will is also what allows him to suffer even the most extreme amounts of pain and continue to function without allowing the pain to effect his performance where he has shown that he can function far longer under painful situations that the average person could tolerate.
Shield Mastery: Austin brings with him in each and every assignment a unique shield which was custom made specifically for him. Over the years he has perfected the use of his shield for both offensive and defensive purposes and in various situations that might arise during an assignment. He has trained in Ricochet and Deflection so that he can toss the shield through the air using it as an indestructible makeshift projectile that can return to his hand each and every time that Austin chooses to throw it as a weapon. Through training Austin has learned how to use his shield as a blunt force melee weapon where he is able to use the unique combination of his Enhanced Strength with the Unique materials of his shield to allow him to deliver harder then normal blows for even him. He is able to knock out the average being with a single blow thanks to the training that he has put himself in which is extremely useful when fighting against multiple opponents at a single time.

He has mastered the use of Karate, Kung Fu, Wing Chun, American Boxing, American Wrestling, Submission Grappling, Street Fighting, Stick Fighting and Krav Maga where he has shown that he can match the skills of the greatest of martial arts where he can often beat these beings but often because of his Super Soldier status so it is not known how he would do in a battle against a being who had similar to attributes to himself. In a fight Austin tends to rely heavily on Krav Maga as he would rather allow his opponent to make the first move in a fight and use countermoves to attacks used by his opponents so he can try and disarm them if needed but subdue them in a hurry especially when the number of opponents are not in his favor. In a hand to hand fight he has been known to use his shield as a melee weapon where he will combine the use of martial arts techniques with his shield to deliver blows that he normally could not obtain without the use of his shield.
Tactician And Strategist: Austin has been a soldier for so many years he has developed an extensive knowledge of combat tactics that allow him to easily devise tactics and techniques to deal with any situation that he finds himself facing.
