Powers and abilities[]
Exosuit application: Ray uses his advanced exosuit to replicate powers akin to those of meta-humans and magic users. Some of the suit's capabilities can affect him in a way that they can still apply to him even after he's removed the suit.
Size alteration: Ray is able to change his own respective size, able to shrink or grow to whatever size he chooses. The effects still apply to him even after he's taken the suit off. This allows him to infiltrate wherever he wants with a low likelihood of being caught when he's shrunken. His larger heights also proportionately increase his strength and durability, allowing him to fight the Leviathan and win. By the time of the Earth-X invasion, Ray was able to enlarge only parts of his body with no loss of balance and control, which notably allowed him to enlarge his arm to fill an entire corridor and crush several armed men, knocking them unconscious. Additionally, Ray can also change the size of other objects around him using his ion cannon, an example being a Thanagarian "tech meteor".
Energy blasts: Ray is able to use the suit's offensive capabilities to replicate meta-human energy blasts, such as electricity projection and hard light blasts, with his suit have an onboard photon and ion cannons. The energy blasts are able to send humans flying through the air, knocking a target unconscious, cracking stone, denting metal, even causing small explosions on impact with harder and thicker surfaces.
Former powers[]
Water Totem: Ray briefly wielded the Water Totem in the Legends' initial attempt to use all six Totems of Zambesi against the escaped Mallus at once individually. However, soon after when they tried to combine the totems' powers to destroy Mallus, Ray gave the Water Totem to Wally West. After Mallus was defeated once and for all, the totem was entrusted to Kuasa.
Water generation: Ray used the totem to hurl a burst of water at Mallus in the Legends' initial battle against the demon after Mallus assumed his true form.
Magic: Ray briefly assisted John Constantine in returning some children's life forces to their bodies after they had been captured by a shtriga in Maine.
Bond with Neron: Following a botched attempt to destroy Neron by Nora Darhk and Constantine through exorcism from Desmond's body, the demon escaped and latched on Ray instead. After killing Nate Heywood, Neron's pact with Ray was null and void, so he left Ray's body.
