- Accelerated Healing Factor: Though not nearly on the level of the likes of Deadpool and Wolverine, Peter had and passed on a limited regenerative healing factor to his genetic clone. Although Ben has no idea what the full capabilities of this factor are, Peter was known to recover from bullet wounds and broken limbs in a matter of days, and, by force of will (and partially his durability), he can continue fighting even after being injured.
- Accelerated Intellect and Learning: Ben also retains his genetic brother's memories, ranging from applications of his superpowers to the earliest childhood incident to genius level understanding of the sciences. The reason he was given these memories is said so he would merge into society as quickly as possible, after all, mutants can't afford unnecessary attention. Oddly enough, these memories only show themselves when "jarred into place", an example of this was when Ben was "born", he had the intellectual prowess of a half-eaten trout until he was spoken to, which jarred his memory of the English language, etc. as such, Ben's intellect has improved monumentally during his time in Zeta, to everything from modern fashion to theoretical physics.
- Foreign Chemical Resistance: Due to his highly advanced metabolism, Benjy is extremely resistant to poison and is impervious to diseases that would render a normal human useless. He can drink far more alcohol than a normal human without getting drunk, and etc. He is impervious to things such as S.T.D.s and cancer. Although he is highly resistant to poison, he is still affected by prolonged exposure, and can be weakened instantaneously given the poison is particularly potent.
- Sense of Equilibrium: The Scarlet Spider possesses a subconscious and instinctive ability to contort his body in order to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow. Ben has grown into this ability almost without effort, and is constantly seen either balancing on his head or hanging in various positions on a number of surfaces, to the annoyance of his fellow mutants in Zeta.
- Spider-Sense: Similarly to his predecessor, Ben has a precognitive warning system built into his genetic code, which manifests itself as a slight-tingling sensation in the back of his skull, the level of "tingling" varies depending on the severity of the impending danger, ranging from only a slight annoyance that he can shrug off relatively easily to an extremely painful migraine that subconsciously causes him to react automatically, rendering him unable to bypass the sense. It is worth mentioning that the Spider-Sense reacts to any and all incoming danger, whether it be oncoming gunfire, or a ball ricocheting off of a wall. At it's current stage, this sixth sense does not pinpoint the specific location and flight pattern of the incoming peril rather than a general direction which allows him to either instinctively leap out of the way or attempt to locate it himself and react accordingly. Due to it's paramount importance in Ben's self-security, he has been placed in training programs specifically tailored to the Spider-Sense itself, albeit he still overreacts to outside stimuli on token occasions.
- Superhuman Agility: Ben's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhance to levels that far outshine the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. His bones and muscle fibers are extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are developing far faster than a human's, pre-engineered to become to twice as elastic and flexible as those of an average human being, despite their extreme strength. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats, along with the most skilled of Earth's professional free-runners. His bones and tissues have yet to develop to their fullest, and as such, his balance can be disrupted by outside forces rather easily, and has even lost balance after dodging incoming dangers using his Spider-Sense. He is projected to become roughly 15 times more agile than an average human by the time his body and superhuman abilities have fully evolved and manifested.
- Superhuman Durability: His body is also physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. He can withstand extreme trauma, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength, although his bones would be shattered at his current developmental stage. The webhead's body is durable to the extent that, if an Olympic class boxer were to punch his tensed muscles, their wrist bones would shatter unless he willingly rolled with the punch to ensure that they would not be injured.
- Superhuman Speed: The Spider-Man was world renowned for his superhuman speed. At his prime, Peter was able to run at upwards of 200 miles per hour. This speed, coupled with his reflexes, spider-sense, and acrobatic ability enabled Peter to become nigh-untouchable by adversaries, even to the extent of dodging fully automatic gunfire. Ben however only has the relative speed to be able to catch up to a speeding car if he were to put his all into it. Despite his relative "slowness" in comparison to his genetic brother, Ben has been shown to be able to dodge some bullets if he is far enough away.
- Superhuman Strength: Although it is not fully evolved, another one of Ben's powers is that of superhuman strength to the level of enabling him to currently bench press approximately ten tons. Ben's physical strength is sufficient enough to enable him to lift objects as heavy as a big rig semi-truck with extreme effort. He must also pull his punches and kicks unless fighting someone of similar or greater physical durability, otherwise, his blows would prove fatal to a normal human being. He has demonstrated that he is strong enough to knock out people with normal durability with as little as a tap to the head. Ben's physical strength also extends into his legs, enabling him to jump roughly three to four stories in a single bound at his current age.
- "Wall-Crawling": Ben's genetic code includes a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide modification to the normal human engrams, resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited specifically to Ben's hands and feet. He can attach himself to almost any surface or object at will, with an upper limit of several tons per finger. Ben has yet to come into his own with this power and sometimes becomes attached to walls, objects, and other surfaces involuntarily, and can even have trouble detaching himself from them if he is panicked.
- "Way of the Spider": Although Ben's Spider-Sense isn't nearly evolved enough for him to utilize it, the Way of the Spider is an advanced martial art perfected by Ben's predecessor Peter Parker. The martial art itself relies almost entirely on the precognitive warnings of the Spider-Sense coupled with one's superhuman reflexes. By being able to pinpoint incoming dangers with his omnipresent knowledge of his surroundings, Peter was able to take on multitudes of enemies at once without even breaking a sweat, by using the environment and the adversaries themselves against each other. Like it's parent technique, Ben has been placed in martial arts classes and tutoring specifically tailored to enhance his knowledge of the style.
