Abilities[]
Enhanced Speed[]
Having been an ability received from the time travel anomaly, Piranha had an advanced speed level, being able to easily run faster than his allies. Although he was originally injuring himself by being unable to control said speed, he managed to harness it by the end of Superbad. At the end of The Big Bad Wolf, Piranha loses this ability due to Marmalade's cannon.
Purification[]
Piranha unlocks this ability during Open Wide and Say Arrrgh!, being able to save one from the corrupting powers of the Underlords. However, this ability is used by continuously flatulating, which shows to be painful to Piranha. In addition, his range in purification is small, only being able to keep one person safe. Piranha is also unable to be corrupted himself.
Telepathy[]
As The Oracle, Piranha is able to receive information from Rhonda and relay it as a vessel, usually the location of a dimensional doorway. In addition, he is also able to telepathically communicate with his father, even while being across multiple dimensions. Once having ceased communication, Piranha will have no memory of the event.
Levitation[]
While using telepathy, Piranha is able to levitate in order to reach his destination easier. However, he is unable to levitate during any other time.
