What are Powerplex’s powers and abilities in Invincible?

Despite always possessing energy absorption powers, Duvall chose to lead a normal life in the comics. However, after setting his sights on a path of vengeance and embracing the persona of Powerplex, he steals Bio-Therm discs from the Pentagon in a bid to enhance his powers and abilities. With the extracted equipment, Powerplex gains better control over his abilities and can also redirect the energy he stores.

Aside from possessing improved durability, Duvall is also fluent in electrokinesis, with the discs allowing him to channel his extra reserves of energy into electricity in various forms. Additionally, Powerplex can fire electric blasts at the ground to propel himself into flight, albeit at a significant cost to his energy supply.

With Powerplex making his transition from comic book pages to the small screen in Invincible Season 3, fans can expect to see the tragic villain unleash his full power while battling Mark soon enough.
