Franz Hopper

Franz Hopper's powers and abilities

Franz Hopper is the genius who created the Supercomputer, X.A.N.A., and Lyoko, and knows all of their workings and programs that the virtual world is made of.

When he virtualized himself, Franz has become a being that can control the Supercomputer functions much like X.A.N.A. is capable of doing, and has the Keys of Lyoko programmed into him. His first form in Lyoko, a cluster of small white orbs, as he himself noted, was incomplete and fragmented compared to Aelita. In that state, he was capable of naturally levitating and could teleport freely between the Lyoko sectors. Later, he takes on a single, larger white orb form, whereupon he can physically interact with the environment, and draw people into himself to protect them from attacks and the Digital Sea. However, both of his forms lack offensive abilities, making him extremely vulnerable to attacks. Despite this, he is almost certainly the most powerful character in the series save for X.A.N.A.

He is capable of controlling towers and protecting them from X.A.N.A.'s influence, activating his own Towers to generate spectres that can possess humans to do its bidding, and taking control of active towers used by others. He can also virtualize monsters under his control, travel around in the Digital Sea without fear of deletion, and send messages across the network.

Franz is also capable of fully restoring a person's digital memory, reactivating the virtual world if it was shut down, and providing energy to run powerful programs, though programming of this level drains a large amount of his energy reserves on his end, which can potentially be fatal.
