Val's new physiology has given him a small assortment of super powers. Val's powers come from a slight mutation that causes his skin to absorb ambient radiation in the atmosphere. This has a few different effects:

Invulnerability: Val is almost impervious to physical damage. His bones are enhanced to the point of being stronger than questionite. His skin is durable enough to withstand direct attacks by knives, bullets, fire, and any number of other physical methods of bodily harm.

Super Strength: Val's muscles have a similar level of enhancement to that of his skin and bones. While he is physically lean, his muscles, while tense, can become as strong as steel, giving him great proportional strength. He can lift approximately ten metric tons.

Energy Generation: Val's skin converts excess absorbed radiation into a form of energy that he can manipulate. It is largely harmless, biologically. However, he can use it to create short-range concussive blasts, shields, and at times, additional physical protection. Val can even use this energy to unnaturally boost his body's ability to heal itself.

Flight: Val's energy manipulation allows him to coat his body in a fine film of energy, which he can then lift to simulate controlled flight. He can sustain this form of flight for as long as he has a reserve of energy; typically two hours without rest.

Speed: Val's energy manipulation, in conjunction with his enhanced muscles, also allows him a form of simulated super speed. While his reaction times are still those of a normal human, he can coat his body in a thick form of energy and couple that with his powerful muscles to run much faster than a standard human could. This is, however, much more taxing than flight, and as such, he can only do this in short bursts.

Vulnerability to Physical Forces: Val's enhanced body, while incredibly durable, can only handle so much abuse. A strong enough physical attack has the potential to harm him, if only superficially.

Vulnerability to Radiation: Val's Body is able to absorb radiation, but an overload of radiation will temporarily leave him disabled. While not fatal as it would be to a normal human, it will leave Val nauseated and disoriented for a time while his body attempts to convert the radiation into excess energy which he can then burn off.

Vulnerability to Non-Physical Forces: Val's body is very resistant to physical attack, however, he is still vulnerable to non-natural forces such as energy attacks. While something like fire may not harm his skin, the heat it raises his body temperature to will eventually cause him harm, likewise with cold or ice. Electricity or a non-concussive energy force will generally leave him harmed, but is unlikely to irreparably damage his internal organs without extreme effort.

Vulnerability to Magic: Val has no resistance to chaotic magical attacks. A magical attack that is used as a physical or concussive attack will have little affect on Val. However, a magical attack that is designed to inflict pure mental, manipulative, or generally chaotic damage is something that Val has no power to resist.

Vulnerability to Mental Attacks: Val has no ability or training to resist mental attacks, and as such, has to rely on speed and action to prevent someone from exploiting this weakness.

Val's costume, while revealing, has a specific purpose. His skin needs to be uncovered in order to efficiently absorb ambient radiation. Similarly to a flower using photosynthesis, Val's skin will begin to 'suffocate' without the ability to directly absorb radiation. While it is not fatal to cover himself up, it will leave him at a disadvantage with his powers, specifically, his energy generation. It will begin to drain like a battery with no ability to recharge.

Val also makes use of a Hazard Suit for situations were oxygen is in short supply. Val's powerful lungs allow him to hold his breath for a maximum of thirty minutes before he requires another breath. It is in these foreseen situations when Val dons a suit designed for him by Harmon Industries. This allows him to travel into space for short periods, as well as underwater. It can also provide limited protection from radiation, allowing Val to prevent an overload of absorbed radiation. This also means that Val is incapable of absorbing any ambient radiation, forcing him to rely on the reserves he has accumulated and, after that, only his strength and durability.

Power Boy started as a concept to flip gender stereotypes, specifically, Power Girl's revealing clothing. It began as an experiment to see how people would react to him, but quickly turned into a source of entertainment as people generally accepted him while making various jokes about his appearance.

He is an homage to three heroes of popular brands: His costume is an homage (or parody) to Power Girl. His powers are an homage to Ms. Marvel. And his personality is an homage to Superboy.
