    • Flight: Yuga Khan is capable of flight under his own power, despite his enormous size.

    • Energy Manipulation: His most dangerous ability is manipulate the power of The Source, for various types of effects, as well as manipulate other types of existing energy. Yuga Khan isn't only capable of manipulating energy but also absorb it and also drain the life force of planets and its inhabitants. To increase his powers he can use that energy as a blast capable of destroying planets.
