Genetically, most of the new gods are also endowed with superior intellectual abilities, being able to develop technology magic level. Their advanced physiology combines superhuman strength with supernaturally enhanced endurance, reflexes and speed.

Most of the inhabitants of New Genesis and Apokolips receive martial and military training, being natural warriors.
