Physical Abilities
Immense Durability: Superalloy Darkshine's impressive muscles act as a type of pseudo-armor, able to effortlessly tank hits from demon-level Bug God and Garou, the latter of which defeated Puri-Puri-Prisoner in one hit. In one instance, Darkshine challenged S-Class Bang to a sparring match. Despite getting beat badly, he did not receive any severe damage. Garou stated that if his attacks worked on Darkshine, then the attacks would work on anyone. Darkshine was able to take dozens of attacks from Garou without receiving a scratch, each of which could cause severe damage to the likes of Tanktop Master. It was only until after Garou started evolving, would Darkshine finally succumb to his attacks. After Garou's evolution, Darkshine stood up twice after taking a hit by the human monster, which makes him the only hero capable of doing so, and remained conscious after a beating.

Immense Strength: Through years of intense lifting, Superalloy Darkshine attained remarkable strength. Even before attaining his current level, which is said to be impossible to quantify, he could lift 2 tons with one arm. He was able to blow off Bug God's entire upper body using a simple punch. In addition, he was able to shatter all of Garou's ribs using a tackle, which Garou was unable to redirect using Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist due to the sheer amount of power behind it.
