Flash Gordon's superpowers



Like all superheroes Flash Gordon would have some superpowers. From what I've seen, I know hes immensely strong. I saw this time he killed a tiger with his bare hands. So we know hes got great strength, what other superpowers has he got?

Hold on! In most incarnations of Flash Gordon he is one of those superheroes who lacks true superpowers. Like Captain America and Batman, he relies on wits, athletic prowess, and special equipment. However, this TV version of Flash probably has physical capability that would be superhuman in our world. The people of Flash's far-future era do have (presumably from evolution and great advances in health care) bodies considerably bigger than ours. When Flash & friends time-traveled to 1950s Germany witnesses referred to them as giants.

OK well he was able to outstrength and kill a tiger with his bare hands so that would mean he does have some superpowers, superstrength to some extent.
