Powers; Red Hulk possesses an incredible level of superhuman physical strength, stamina and durability. Unlike the Hulk, whose physical strength is potentially limitless due to the fact that the Hulk's strength increases with his level of anger, the Red Hulk becomes hotter as he grows angrier leaving huge amounts of residual radiation after a heated confrontation. This temperature increase may serve as a hindrance to the Red Hulk but that has yet to be determined.
The Red Hulk can also use his superhumanly strong leg muscles to leap great distances including into orbit around the Earth. The Red Hulk has shown to be nearly invulnerable to physical damage regardless of the cause, and has also shown the ability to regenerate damaged areas of tissue at an amazing rate. It is entirely possible that the Red Hulk also has the Hulk's resistance to extreme temperatures, poisons, and diseases but that, too, has yet to be revealed. However, as in outer space, Red Hulk can hold his breath for an extremely long amount of time and function normally, even under times of great duress.
An attribute of the Red Hulk which isn't known to many is what gives him his tremendous power. Red Hulk is able to absorb radiation at will, mostly gamma radiation, but he can also absorb other types such as cosmic radiation. The more he absorbs, the more powerful he becomes. However, Red Hulk is susceptible to mind control.
At one time, Ross's mind controlled the form of Zzzax and commanded Zzzax's powers too. When his mind was returned to his original body, Ross could still release some of the electromagnetic energy at will for a brief period.
Abilities; Ross has proven himself to be a highly skilled armed and unarmed combatant as well as a master strategist, organizer and leader
Weapons;Ross has had access to a variety of conventional and unconventional weaponry throughout his career. Red Hulk used a giant-sized gun, stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D., to assassinate the Abomination, has used other types of guns as well and has shown proficiency in wielding more barbaric items like a chain.
Paraphernalia; None
