Superior's powers and abilities
Android Physiology: Ivanov had control over various of his own Life-Model Decoy duplicates, all of which were remotely controlled by his human brain and through which he could experience perception. Moreover, like all the LMDs built after
Aida, Ivanov was powered and animated by a Quantum Brain, a replica of a human brain that displays the same complexity and capabilities as its biological counterpart but was only made of light. When Ivanov lost access to the machinery to build more identical robot bodies of himself, he resorted to controlling Sleeper Mechs, which worked in the same way but did not have his face or voice while the Mechs all worked as General Hale's bodyguards and enforcers.
Enhanced Strength: Being an android, Ivanov was stronger in his duplicated body than his former human self. He fiercely fought
Phil Coulson and
Melinda May, despite being highly trained agents, and was on par with
Ghost Rider, despite being even, in brute strength. He was also able to use his superior strength to throw a knife at
Quake, managing to pierce her, and also had enough strength to collide with
Yo-Yo Rodriguez, despite her having prosthetic arms.
Enhanced Durability: As an android, the mechanical structure of Ivanov's body made him more resilient than humans. He easily withstood being repeatedly shot and hit in the face by Coulson and May, continuing the fight until his bodies were destroyed. He also withstood even the blows of Yo-Yo Rodriguez's Prosthetic Arms, not feeling the pain. Despite the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. they kept killing his bodies, he could create new bodies with his brain, making it almost indestructible for them. However, he was vulnerable if there were any delicate parts where his enemies could take advantage, such as when Coulson cut off his face with his projection shield, or when the latter dropped an electric wire at the water by his feet, electrocuting him. He was also vulnerable to fire when Ghost Rider burned one of his bodies, reducing it to ashes. His head, however, was vulnerable when he attached it to a final android body and did not survive the fall by Yo-Yo Rodriguez, when he violently banged his head, causing his eventual death.
Enhanced Stamina: His power source allowed the LMD to exert himself for long periods without rest between charges, not giving up any of his fights until his bodies were destroyed
Enhanced Reflexes: Being an android, Ivanov possessed sharper reflexes than a normal human being, allowing him to dodge Coulson and May's attacks and continue to fight them until he defeated them, and his reflexes allowed him to compete with Yo-Yo Rodriguez, even though she had prosthetic arms.
Longevity: Potentially, as a Life-Model Decoy, Ivanov's internal power source would have allowed him to last for years, transforming him into a machine made to last and giving him a form of immortality he never dreamed of.
Enhanced Vision: Like the rest of Life-Model Decoys built according to Holden Radcliffe's plans, Ivanov's bodies were equipped with a Backscatter X-Ray Eye Implant that granted him the ability to see in the dark and through solid objects.
Pain Immunity: The synthetic nervous system within the Life-Model Decoys was tweaked once Aida experienced pain herself, disabling all subsequent decoys from the feeling that was intended to accurately mimic human reaction. Therefore, Ivanov suffered no actual pain, not even when an angry Aida smashed his head against the floor, feeling no pain as one of his bodies died.
