All of his powers are produced through sonic means.[5] He has the ability of flight due to the creation of sound waves and thus, he cannot fly in space because there is no sound there.[5][7]
He dons a red suit with a three-star emblem on his chest and a blue cape. His grandmother made his first costume out of a red shirt and pants together with a handkerchief with holes that serves as a mask.[5]
