Carter has the ability to transform into a humanoid wolf under a full moon. Carter is not a true werewolf, in that his powers derive from a mutaiton and not from supernatural causes. Carter resembles supernatural werewolves in that his transformations to lupine form occur at the rising of the full moon. He reverts to human form at dawn. While in this form, Carter possesses various superhuman attributes. He also retains his full level of intelligence and his ability to speak, though his personality is considerably more vicious and dominated by bloodlust.
- Superhuman Strength: While in his lupine form, Carter is superhumanly strong and is capable of lifting about 10 tons.
- Superhuman Stamina: Carter's advanced musculature, while in his lupine form, produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. He can physically exert himself at peak capacity for up to three hours before the build-up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
- Superhuman Agility: While in his lupine form, Carter's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Carter's lupine reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
- Superhumanly Acute Senses: Carter's lupine senses of sight, smell, and hearing are as acute as those of an actual wolf. Carter has infrared vision that enables him to see with perfect clarity, even in near-total darkness. His sense of hearing is enhanced to the point that he can detect sounds ordinary humans can't, even at great distances. His sense of smell is developed to the point that he can track a target by its scent with an impressive degree of success.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Like a supernatural werewolf, Carter has the ability to fully regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissues with speed and efficiency far beyond the capabilities of any ordinary human. He can fully recover from multiple gunshot wounds within the span of a matter of minutes. The full limits of his healing powers aren't known.
