Powers
Fat Cobra demonstrated the ability to call upon the powers of lightning to aid him in combat by turning it into powerful strikes such as his Cudgel of Misfortune or Whirlwind of Impending Doom. He has also demonstrated the ability to use the energy as a snare to prevent his rivals from escaping. Whether it is by his own volition or that of his weapon has yet to be revealed

Abilities
Despite his misleading size, Fat Cobra is incredibly fast. It is undetermined if his speed is superhuman or not, but Fat Cobra strikes swiftly and with deadly accuracy. Add that to his incredible strength and explosive strategist mind, and there is an opponent who is almost impossible to beat.

Significant Issues
Battled 100 Shaolin Terror Priests and won (The Immortal Iron Fist #8, 2007); Fought Iron Fist in the first round of tournament and bested him (The Immortal Iron Fist #9, 2007); Fat Cobra, along with the Immortal Weapons, defeated Hydra and saved K'un-Lun and the other Capital Cities of Heaven (Immortal Iron Fist #14, 2008); journeyed to The Eighth City and was tortured until his escape (Immortal Iron Fist #22, 23, 25, 26, 2009)

Fat Cobra was introduced to all at the tournament just as all the other combatants, but Fat Cobra was chosen at random to be the first to entertain in an exhibition match against one hundred Shaolin Terror Priests. Even though the Terror Priests outnumbered the lone warrior, Fat Cobra's enormous skill and blinding speed proved to be more than a match for them. He defeated the Terror Priests in the exhibition and went on to challenge and overcome the champion of K'un-Lun, Iron Fist. Fat Cobra's next match would have put him face-to-face with the Prince of Orphans but after seeing the blatant cruelty to Tiger’s Beautiful Daughter by Davos, the Prince of Orphans ask Fat Cobra's permission to challenge Davos instead. Fat Cobra obliged and was content to sit on the sidelines next to Iron Fist and watch the contest.


Later, at a feast for the contestants, Fat Cobra was thoroughly amused by past exploits of Dog Brother #1 when the Prince of Orphans proposed an alliance to save the city of K'un-Lun from the forces of Hydra. Fat Cobra was thrilled that the legendary Prince wanted to sit at his table and pushed Bride of Nine Spiders out of the way to make room. The assumption that Fat Cobra would have aided the Prince of Orphans, regardless that his city was also threatened, would probably be correct, but either way Fat Cobra stood with the other Immortal Weapons as they confronted the terrorist forces that would have not only obliterated K'un-Lun but the Heart of Heaven too. Fat Cobra did not want to disappoint his new allies and fought furiously in the coming battle. The forces of Hydra were overcome, but Fat Cobra's adventures are just beginning as he, and the other Immortal Weapons, decided to remain on Earth and investigate claims of an existing Eighth Capital City of Heaven.

Fat Cobra was enjoying his downtime on Earth, but he was not hesitant to get back into the action when John Aman needed to assemble the Immortal Weapons to deal with a threat to Danny Rand. Fat Cobra went toe-to-toe with the Servant of the Ch'i-Lin and found a formidable foe, with no clear winner of the contest. An investigation of the killer’s dwelling, led to the discovery of a map, and a close call with a bomb. Fat Cobra took the brunt of the blast, saving the lives of his fellow Immortal Weapons. After Rand had healed from his injuries, Fat Cobra accompanied him on a journey to the Eighth Capital City of Heaven. Once inside The Eighth City, even the mighty Fat Cobra couldn't resist the creatures that lived in this cruel realm, and he was defeated and taken prisoner. He was subjected to the same tortures each of his allies had suffered, but as a true champion, Fat Cobra waited for the time to channel all his energy into a devastating attack. As Iron Fist fought with the ruler of this evil place, Quan Yaozu, Fat Cobra took out as many guards as he could before saving Rand from the receiving end of a large knife meant to end Danny's life. Cobra would have killed Yaozu if Danny didn't stop him, but his rage allowed him to fight off an army of monsters while the rest of the Immortal Weapons opened the portal to Earth, so they could escape the wretched city.
