Background
Gerald's history is, for the most part, unknown. At some point, during his youth, he discovered his superhuman abilities. Eventually, Gerald met Lucius Foxworth and was employed at Foxworth Enterprises as one of Foxworth's soldiers. However, upon his failure to complete an assignment, Foxworth removed his intrinsic ability to manipulate his size and density, but allowed him to retain the strength and durability that came with his powers. Gerald would retain his place on Foxworth's roster, hoping that he would one day have his powers returned to him.

Current Powers and Abilities

 * Unbreakable Skin: Following his depowerment, Gerald's primary ability became his extremely durable skin. The secondary ability of his original size manipulation, Gerald has unusually resilient skin that is impervious to any harm or damage.
 * Superhuman Strength: Gerald's has a tremendous level of superhuman strength. While the precise limits of his strength aren't clearly established, according to Foxworth's data files on superhumans, Gerald's exact lifting limit is well in excess of 50 tons. He has displayed phenomenal strength, being able to fight on equal footing with both Dylan and Switchblade. Gerald's superhuman strength apparently extends to all his musculature. Most notably, his leg muscles possess sufficient strength to enable him to leap incredible heights, with a significant freedom in his agility and movement.
 * Superhuman Durability: Gerald also has a superhuman degree of resistance to physical injury. He can withstand tremendous amounts of physical trauma, including multi-story falls, the direct impact of a train, breaking through brick walls, and withstanding 100,000 volts of electricity while under torture. His body is capable of withstanding the physical stresses needed in order to apply his strength substantially without his bones or tissues breaking or tearing.
 * Enhanced Stamina: Gerald also possesses a superhuman degree of endurance and stamina. He is capable of engaging in heavy feats of strength and combative endeavors for lengthy durations without tiring readily.
 * Invulnerability: Gerald's body is as hard as titanium steel. His muscles and bones tissue are super-dense, granting him much greater resistances to physical injury. He can withstand conventional handgun fire of 4 feet and cannot be cut by the sharpest of blades, although in the event of required surgery his skin can be lacerated with an over-powered medical laser. He can withstand up to one-ton impacts or blasts of 150 pounds of TNT without serious injury, and he is impervious to temperature extremes.
 * Pain Immunity: Gerald is either completely immune to pain, or has developed a great tolerance for it.

Former Powers and Abilities

 * Size Manipulation: Gerald's initial power was that he could manipulate his own body's size, mass and density at a sub-molecular level. While it is unknown if he was able to shrink himself, it is confirmed that he could grow himself to between 20 and 50 feet tall, and increase his density and weight as such. However, he lost this ability when Foxworth took this from him.

Weaknesses

 * Energy Attacks: Despite being immune to all types of physical harm, he seems to be vulnerable to energy attacks. This is shown when Switchblade hits him with a thunder strike, which left him stunned before being knocked down.
 * Molten substances: Despite being nearly invulnerable, he is known to have an aversion to lava, suggesting he is not completely invincible and can be hurt and ultimately killed by molten substances.
 * Intense Force: Although Heavy G has a certain degree of invulnerability, things that produce a large force can still cause him pain.
 * Cutting Attacks: He can be cut with very extremely hard metals and a suitable amount of force.
 * Durability Limitation: Even with his superhuman durability, Heavy G can still feel pain from damage taken, although he has a notably high pain tolerance.
 * Internal Wounds: While the outer body is immune, the interior isn't, which means he is still susceptible to drowning or suffocation. Enough blunt force could harm internal organs while leaving the skin unharmed.
