Fans have been wondering what Kite Man and Golden Glider‘s powers and abilities were, ever since Kite Man: Hell Yeah came out. This curiosity has only deepened due to both supervillains being the leads of the new show, and also due to their important places in the DC Universe as the adversaries of Batman and The Flash, respectively.
So, what are Kite Man and Golden Glider’s powers and what are they capable of doing in Kite Man: Hell Yeah? Here are all the details.
What are Kite Man’s powers and abilities?
Kite Man does not have any natural superpowers but possesses abilities via his Kite Man suit and weaponry. He uses a jet-powered hang glider to aid in his escapes from authorities. His kites also contain flash bulbs and nets that he uses to fight his enemies.
Kite Man is also skilled in aerodynamics and mechanics. In the comics, he had designed the original Jokermobile for the Joker.
During Titans United #2, while in prison, Kite Man temporarily developed superpowers after his biology was altered by a Project Cadmus doctor who had performed experiments on him. He gained the powers of various Titan members like Superboy, Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire. These included flight, super-breath, energy projection, psychokinesis, and therianthropy.
What are Golden Glider’s powers and abilities from Kite Man: Hell Yeah?
Golden Glider’s powers and abilities from Kite Man: Hell Yeah include being able to go into an astral body and energize and generate tendrils from her hair, which when used can cause explosions and harm enemies. She is also a highly skilled skater and has skates that can be used on any surface.
In the comics, Golden Glider developed superpowers after an accident that also gave Mirror Master, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, and Weather Wizard their respective powers. Golden Glider ended up going into an astral form separate from her body. With this astral form, she could move and fly at superhuman speeds and also teleport. She also had specialized ribbon tendrils that could kill a person without leaving evidence behind and also temporarily halt a speedster like Flash’s connection to the Speed Force.
Golden Glider retained her abilities after her astral form was disrupted and reformed, which allowed her to use her body.
