Hydrokinetic Transformation:

Kaldur'Ben possesses the ability to bodily transform himself, in whole or in part, into a watery liquid substance of unknown composition. While in this state, his consciousness can control every droplet that comprises his body. Thus, he can will himself to turn liquid whenever struck. Kaldur'Ben can also propel the liquid particles of his body at great pressure in the same style as water shooting through a fire hose. It is not known how he generates the pressure to create this effect. Also, he can harden his fist as if it were ice hard.

Apparently Kaldur'Ben's liquid particles each possess some form of attraction for one another so that his disintegrated consciousness can draw all of the particles back into cohesion after total dispersal. It is not known if there is a limit to the particles' ability to attract one another. Nor is it known if there is a limit to how long Kaldur'Ben can remain in a completely aqueous state. Not only can he merge with ordinary water and use it to increase his mass, he can also form and control the flow of water. Normally he forms highly pressurized water into handles in the form of swords or maces. Apparently, he has no difficulty reforming his solid physical state, even while fully immersed in water.

Since Kaldur'Ben can convert his entire head into water, and his brain is still capable of rational motivated thought, his brain can no longer be organic. It is probable that even in its solid state when it appears to be made of flesh, tissue, and bone; Kaldur'Ben's body is no longer truly organic, it is not known if Kaldur'Ben needs to eat, sleep, or eliminate waste products while in his watery form.

Amphibious Transformation: While solid, when any source of water touches Kaldur'Ben's skin his body transforms and he gains gills and webbed features (so far have only been seen on his hands). This allows him to breathe underwater and swim at speeds that can match Trident's. However, he prefers to revert to his hydro-form when underwater.

Electrokinesis: Surprisingly, he has the power to control electric waves; much in the same way an electric eel can. This ability seems to manifest alongside the electrical appearances of his mysterious tattoos. This ability has appeared in electrical touch, bursts of electricity and electrical skin. This ability is only available when he is in solid form. It is theorized that this ability is akin to a pool of water being struck by lightning. Unlike other water-based beings, Kaldur'Ben is not affected by electrocution.

Enhanced Vision: His eyes are designed to see through the bottom of the ocean. This ability translates to his hydro-form, despite not actually having eyes, allowing him to see in the darkness of the ocean deep.

Staff of Moses: While in solid form, Kaldur'Ben's hydrokinesis is difficult for him to control sometimes. He is in possession of the Staff of Moses which, according to legend, brought forth water from a rock. The Staff helps him focus his ability to shape water into weapons. When on dry land, he can use the Staff to strike any nearby rock to produce water for him to rejuvenate.

Soul Molecule: When Kaldur'Ben transforms into water, one molecule in his body contains his mind and tells the other molecules what to do. If this molecule is separated, the rest of his body becomes ordinary water.

The Cold: Kaldur'Ben can be easily defeated by being turned into ice and kept at the right temperature, such as when Centigrade was able to take him out effortlessly using her cryokinesis powers.
