”Sam's stronger than Golden Boy ever was. I don't know how to contain someone like that.”

Sam possesses superhuman strength, which makes him stronger than humans and most Supes. Dr. Cardosa asserts that he is physically stronger than Golden Boy, the top-ranked Supe at Godolkin University. His tremendous strength, combined with his unpredictable mental state, establishes him as dangerously strong compared to those at The Woods and Godolkin University. He easily mutilates humans without much effort.

As a result of his immense superhuman strength, Sam is capable of leaping great distances, leaving giant craters in his wake. 
Sam possesses superhuman durability, making him more durable than humans and most Supes. Regarding the stability of his durability, he can withstand his own superhuman strength, indicating that he is fairly resilient. He rebounds from attacks as if nothing had happened. Furthermore, he is entirely bulletproof, allowing him to resist repeated gunfire.

Sam possesses superhuman hearing, allowing him to hear better than humans. Like all Supes, he can hear higher frequencies that humans cannot.

Despite being one of the more resilient Supes, Sam can be momentarily staggered and stunned by tremendous force. Additionally, he is highly vulnerable to extreme volts of electricity, which can immobilize and knock him unconscious. Furthermore, Sam can be restrained effectively with significant force.

Regardless of Sam's status as a Supe, anesthetics can affect him and render him unconscious.

Due to being a Supe, Sam is susceptible to high frequencies. When a high frequency is playing, it can induce immense pain and temporarily neutralize him.

Sam has schizophrenia, which causes him to experience delusions, mania, and hallucinations. He developed early-onset schizophrenia at a young age due to it running in his family, making it difficult for him to differentiate between what is and is not reality. In his late teens, Sam's mental disorder worsened, plaguing him with unique hallucinations that make him perceive people as puppets.

The Woods" is an underground testing facility connected to Godolkin University and Vought International. It's a place where super-powered youngsters are secretly held and experimented on. The existence of The Woods is unknown to the general student population at Godolkin University. The Woods houses super-powered individuals, and the experiments conducted there involve brutal treatment and the potential for them to be declared dead, even if they are still alive. The experiments, the room, the visions, the goddamn needle they shove in his spine…

He is has a strong, vulnerable, conscience, often struggling with his actions and the influence of others. Despite his immense power, he can be easily manipulated due to his naivete. Despite his violent tendencies, Sam's actions are often driven by a desire for connection. . . . On campus, a boy runs right past you. You’ve never seen him before, and he looks straight out of a mental hospital, wearing grey sweatshirt and long sleeved shirt. He has brown, curly hair, and a relatively youthful appearance with a clear complexion and distinct eyebrows. He appears to have a lean build, and is 5' 11" (1.80 m) tall. Security officers tried to block him but with incredible strength he sent them flying back. He did the same with any guards in his way, even flipping a car away. He looked manic, as he screamed.

“I'm not going to back to the fucking woods!!!”
