Father/Abilities

Father has a very large array of powers and abilities that are seen throughout Codename: Kids Next Door.

Pyrokinesis

Pyrokinesis is the most used ability that Father has at his disposal.

It's possible that this ability is fueled by either anger or evil as Father's powers can increase whenever he became angry.

Father can summon fire around him in multiple episodes. He is able to utilize that fire as he pleased, including the following:

Extinguishing

It did not require much effort for Father to extinguish any flames that he created, and his flames could go out as soon as he stopped needing them. That was important, as it prevented him from losing control of the flames that he created.

Fireballs

Father is shown to have the ability to throw fireballs (Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S. and other multiple episodes).

Fire Invulnerability (Situational)

Interestingly, Father is capable of using his fire without burning himself. He is also capable of preventing his fire from burning others. However in special cases his own fire is able to be used against him (Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R.).

Fire Sculpting

Father is able to create shapes, such as cages and fists, out of fire.

Flamethrower

Father is able to focus his flames into a beam, much like a powerful flamethrower. It is capable of slowly melting through metal.

Other Powers

Father also has various other powers that are unrelated to fire:

Levitation

Father is able to float above the ground. (Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G., Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S., and other episodes.)

Self-Replication

Father is able to create fake copies of himself, which turned to smoke when they were attacked, Naruto-style. (Operation: I.T.)

Shadow Suit

Father is shown to have the ability to make a shadow suit that he can wear like a costume. It is possible that this is the only part of the ability set that was inherited (alongside his pyrokinetic powers), as it is one of the very few powers that Father and Grandfather have in common.

Shape-Shifting

Father has shown that he is able to change his appearance and shape to take the form of humans or animals. (Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G., Operation: G.R.A.D.U.A.T.E.S. and Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.).

Telekinesis

(Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.)

Non Super-Powers

Father also possesses a variety of non-super-powered abilities:

Mechanical Genius

Father is a skilled engineer and inventor, who created the Delightfulization Chamber, the Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine and Knightamatons. He also designed his mansion as a highly-defended fortress.

Business

As the head of Evil Adult Industries Inc, Father showed great business skills.

Persuasion

Father is shown multiple times to be able to convince other villains (and even The KND themselves once) to side with him in his plans.

Acting

In addition to his powers of persuasion, Father has a natural ability to lie convincingly while he keeps a completely straight face. He uses this to trick numerous people, from other villains to KND Operatives. (Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G., and Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.)

Baking

Father is shown to be able to bake a variety of large, mouth-watering cakes that were the envy of children around the world; some of those cakes would be nearly impossible to bake by normal means.

Note: this section is for HEAVILY IMPLIED powers, meaning headcanons and fan made ones do not qualify. If there is not evidence for it, it does not belong here.

Weather Manipulation

In Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P., when the Delightful Children From Down The Lane failed to defeat the KND, it began to rain, at which point, the Delightful Children concluded that Father "Is most unsatisfied" which implied that the rain was caused by Father as a way of expressing his disappointment.

Alternatively, it could have been just a classic element to set the mood of the scene.

Power Source

It was possible that Father got his abilities either from Grandfather or from his Mother.

If Father's power was fueled by evil, it would explain why Nigel or Monty never showed the ability to use the powers that Father exhibited.

However, it would also fail to explain why Grandfather was not shown using fire abilities or shape-shifting abilities of any sort, as he was shown to be more evil than even Father.

Weaknesses

Father is shown to be weak to cold (ice cream) and water, which can nulify his fire powers if enough force is applied. (Operation: G.R.O.W.-U.P. and Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G.)

Father also once surrendered and crumbled in fear after he was threatened to be force-fed Broccoli by Numbah 362. (Operation: I.T.)

Trivia

• As a result of Father's wide array of powers, he is considered the most powerful villain in the series, and it's implied in Operation: Z.E.R.O that he actually could overpower Grandfather, despite being intimidated by the latter.
