Powers and Abilities
The Rhino possesses extreme superhuman strength enabling him to lift
more than 75 tons and up to 100 tons with his suit on. The Rhino possesses superhuman speed that enables him to run and/or exercise at
top-notch speeds; hence he can, while charging or ramming, appear at his
destination rather quickly although he cannot move nearly as fast as
speedsters. The Rhino's enhanced musculature is much more efficient than
that of a normal human and generates considerably less fatigue toxins
during physical activity. At his peak, he can exert himself physically
for up to 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood
starts to impair him. Rhino possesses a thick polymer mat suit similar
to a rhinoceros
hide, covering his entire body except for his face. The suit is highly
impervious to damage and temperature extremes, and is also equipped with
a horn. Mutagenic chemical and radiation treatments, including gamma
ray bombardment, provides the character with superhuman strength,
heightened levels of speed and stamina, and a high degree of durability.
The second Rhino wears a high-tech armor and wields a battle-axe with
its blades in the shape of a rhinoceros' horns. Even without his suit,
the Rhino's body is highly resistant to physical injury. He can
withstand high caliber bullets, exposure to temperature extremes, falls
from great heights and even light anti-tank weaponry without sustaining
injury. The Rhino's costume grants him a high degree of resistance to
physical injury. It is highly impervious to damage, able to resist
explosions equivalent to 1 ton of TNT, the impact of small anti-tank
weaponry, and temperature extremes between -50˚ and 1,000˚ F without
cracking or melting. It is acid resistant and removable. The suit boosts
his strength, features a bulletproof polymer mat rhino-like hide and
two horns capable of penetrating 2-inch plate steel.
