Kakarot Kent

In a hypothetical re-imagining of the DC Universe where Krypton was replaced by the planet Vegeta, Kakarot was sent to Earth in a small pod to wipe out the planet or to grow away from enemies, depending on the origin. As a problem child, the kindness of his adoptive parents turned him kind and polite, though one parent died from his full moon transformation into a monster before his tail was cut off by a Green Lantern. At age 12, he traveled the world, trained with various teachers, arrived in Metropolis, learned about Lex Luthor’s evil from Jimmy (later Jenny) Olsen, befriended them and Lois Lane, and became Metropolis’ protector with his spiky hair as a crime deterrent. While he grows stronger over time, inconsistencies appear in the Doom Saga due to a heart virus affecting his endurance, especially in Super Saiyan form.

• Utilizes afterimages in fights after being inspired by the Flash. (source) (WI)
• Has repeatedly raced the Flash. (source) (S)

Skill

• Took karate courses and learned martial arts from books bought online as a kid, but ‘ran through them quickly’. (source) (WI)
• Was trained by Richard Dragon, David Cain, Lady Shiva, and Ra’s al Ghul, gaining skill from all of them before rejecting them for their viewpoints, being unable to see them as his true teacher. (source) (WI)
• Fights with a free-flowing style which briefly allows him to keep up with the superior Vegeta. (source) (S)
• Uses pressure point strikes in conjunction with power bursts and cuts off Vegeta’s oxygen. (source) (S)
• Uses these pressure points to numb Superboy’s arm. (source) (D)
• Fights a Parallax-controlled Batman, the two being described as two of the greatest martial artists in the universe and Batman having no reduction to his skill, over the course of hours before finally starting to succeed. (source) (E)

Qi

• Through his training with I-Ching, Kakarot became able to utilize the DC Chinese equivalent of Ki, Qi, which takes the form of eight different types based around the Bagua. He mastered all of them during this training, with the exception of Li / Fire and Ch’ien / Heaven. (source) (WI)
• Allowed him to shoot energy blasts after being inspired by the Green Lantern and fly on being inspired by Wonder Woman. (source) (WI)

• After training from Mogo, can sense things on a deeper level than before, picking up on creatures previously invisible to all of his abilities by sensing the energy they draw from the living planet. (source) (SS)
• Transfers his qi to Superboy. (source) (D)

Violet Rift

• An ability which creates portals in space, allowing Kakarot to near-instantly teleport between locations. (source) (D)
• Due to its origins coming from the Predator, an entity of love, these portals can only be created to connect Kakarot to or near people he loves. As he loves to fight strong opponents, this allows him to use the rifts around his enemies and other superheroes, even if he doesn’t know their exact location. (source) (D)
• Redirects an energy blast from Superboy to hit the kid. (source) (D)

Wrath Form

• Kakarot taps into the power of the Great Ape, utilizing its sheer strength and speed in short bursts while retaining his senses, allowing him to overwhelm Vegeta while it’s active. (source) (S)
• Using this ability too much in a short span of time causes the bursts to drop in strength as he becomes more and more unable to utilize the power while holding back the beast’s rage. (source) (S)
• He can choose to do this, utilizing the full force of his strength but becoming mindless and bent only on destruction in the process. Like this, his Chaos Blast which was being pushed back by Vegeta’s Galick Gun bores through. (source) (S)
• Using this form comes at the cost of reducing his skill. (source)

Super Saiyan

• A legendary form that only appeared once every few centuries while the Saiyan civilization still existed, Goku gains the ability to become Super Saiyan upon the grief and anger caused by the death of Batman. Goku can only be in this form for a limited amount of time, compared with his usual fighting capabilities. (source) (E)

Super Saiyan Strength

• Bats aside Mongul’s punch without issue. (source) (SS)

• Takes hits from Super Saiyan Vegeta while having a heart attack. (source) (D)
• Brawls with a trained Wonder Woman. (source) (D)
• Could withstand the explosion of a planet, but not the vacuum of space due to a lack of oxygen. (source) (SS)
• While wearing a breathing mask, stands on the surface of the sun without issue. (source) (D)

Super Saiyan Speed

• Dashes towards Rogul faster than he can react before moving around him, impossible to hit by his strikes. (source) (E)
• Gets a couple of hits on Godspeed, who earlier in the fight created hundreds of afterimages to pummel Goku in his base form. (source) (D)
• Flies across the solar system to catch an enormous qi blast he fired that got struck away by Hal Jordan, travelling faster than light. (source) (D)
• Races Wally West across the world faster than even time modulating cameras that caught the previous solar system flying could properly record, surpassing his limits to go faster than before and making an extremely close race that he narrowly lost. (source) (D)

Super Saiyan Qi

• His shockwave on transforming is strong enough to knock out some of the weaker guards attacking him on Warworld. (source) (SS)
• Clashes energy beams with Kyle Rayner while he’s just using Green Lantern energy, only being ultimately overpowered once he fully draws on the entire emotional spectrum. (source) (SS)
• Can boost this power in a way that enhances strength and durability while reducing speed, allowing him to no-sell a kick from Mongul which hurts his attacker more before taking him out with a punch. (source) (SS)
• Punches with a dragon energy construct, clashing with Wonder Woman’s strike with the lasso of truth wrapped around her arm, creating a blast that could seemingly be seen from orbit and shook the galaxy. (source) (D)
• Releases a qi blast which an announcer says could turn the world to ash with it travelling the distance between the sun and the Earth extremely quickly, catches it after it was hit across the solar system by Hal Jordan, then redirects it towards him after creating a violet rift. Due to his speed, he tells where things are through his sensing ability, not his eyesight. (source) (D)

Super Saiyan Violet Rift

• Teleports from Earth to the moon. (source) (D)
• Escapes a planet destroying itself by teleporting from it to Mogo. (source) (E)
• Teleports from Kyle Rayner’s planet to Earth next to Lady Shiva, though this destroys what remains of his outfit. (source) (SS)
• Creates multiple rifts across a corridor, flying randomly between them himself before having a blast of energy fly through them. (source) (D)

Super Saiyan Other

• Used this form to reignite a sun after it was nearly destroyed following the use of a superweapon which drew on its power with a broken failsafe, though this leaves him on the brink of death. (source) (SS)
• The Super Saiyan power can be sapped from him through Hawkgirl’s Nth metal wings. (source) (D)

Gear

• His original outfit is an orange and blue suit made of materials that can withstand his usual level of combat. (source) (WI)
• Gained two magic items from Doctor Fate: The Nimbus Cloud, which he flies on, and the Power Pole, which change its size to Kakarot’s will. (source) (S)

• The cloud can be summoned on his call. (source) (D)
