Powers; Inheriting his father's energy-based powers, Genis-Vell could absorb stellar energy, giving him enhanced strength and durability, flight, and the ability to fire photonic energy blasts. When Genis' mental state became unstable, he no longer held himself back in regards to his powers, which increased exponentially, especially when coupled with the Nega-Bands. He began using his powers in ways he hadn't before, such as choosing to project energy blasts through his gun, for visually dramatic purposes, and absorbing multiple forms of energy as well as opening various trans-dimensional shunts that could access various points in space/time and different realities/dimensions. This also appeared to be his level of power after physically being reborn and absorbing the Nega-Bands into his body, which was transformed into pure photonic energy.
Genis later manifested a version of his father's "Cosmic Awareness", somehow activated by his transformation into a more "mature" form of himself from the future. This awareness granted him a sort of omnipresent consciousness that enables him to perceive objects, individuals, and cosmic threats or anything of significance to him anywhere, even if they were cloaked by invisibility or illusion. However, Genis's newfound cosmic awareness initially proved unreliable, sometimes feeding him distorted or illusory information. Despite a series of meditative techniques, his cosmic awareness drove him insane, although he thus exhibited greater use of this power, using it to see possible futures, definite futures, and alternate universes, and to project his cosmic awareness into others so that they can see their past, present, or future. He had also used it to communicate with the dead.
At one point, Genis was bonded physically to Rick Jones on the molecular level, allowing the two to share a symbiotic relationship and communicate telepathically between themselves. However, they could only exist in separate dimensions, typically the Earth dimension and the Negative Zone (later, the Microverse), and would switch places whenever the Earth-bound counterpart struck the Nega-Bands together.
Abilities; Genis once served in the Kree military, although the exact extent of his abilities and skills remain unrevealed.
Weapons; The Nega-Bands that Genis wore converted psionic energy for a variety of uses, including flight, faster-than-light travel, enhanced strength and durability, and the ability to survive unprotected in the vacuum of space. The bands' power source is a link to the Negative Zone, and Genis used the bands to create force fields and force bolts composed of intermingled matter and anti-matter. He had also used the bands to generate holographic projections, to analyze and track energy signatures, and, by following the energy trail, teleporting from its place of origin to its destination. He could also warp space/time to a certain extent, allowing him to sneak up on a fleet of starships without being detected by their scanners.
Paraphernalia; Genis had a "subdermal translator", an artificial mechanical implant beneath his skin which enables him to analyze and understand most languages in a relatively short span of time.
