Powers
In his Slapstick form, Harmon has virtually unlimited malleability. His strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes are all at superhuman levels. His body is incredibly durable to the point that there is almost no way for him to be harmed beyond his ability to recover. His powers have been described as "all of the abilities of a Saturday morning cartoon character"
Abilities
Slapstick is a talented and inventive practical joker with a highly developed bizarre sense of humor.
Weapons
Slapstick uses a large blue mallet which he stores in the sub-space field linked to his gloves.
Paraphernalia
Possesses a pair of gloves which allow him to transform from his Slapstick form into his human form and back again. The gloves are also an access point to a sub-space aperture or pocket dimension where he can store objects. He can retrieve the objects from the spatial aperture by using a programmed gesture attuned to the particular object he is trying to select.
