Abilities and Powers[]
Given his rank, it is safe to assume that he is fairly strong by C-Class standards. His power level is used as the control for Child Emperor's device and is set to 100. However, the fact that he has lost every fight he's been in, even with the assistance of B-Class and A-Class heroes implies that he is not very strong compared to other heroes.

Enhanced Speed and Reflexes: Red Muffler has been shown to be quick on his feet, as seen when fighting Jumping Spider.[2]
Fighting Style[]
- Red Meteoric Kick (赤い彗星キック, Akai Sōsei Kikku): A flying kick delivered at the enemy. Its power is unknown, as Jumping Spider dodged before the attack could connect.[2]

- In the 2017 One Punch Man Halloween cover, he was depicted cosplaying Red Riding Hood but while wearing his signature red scarf. He holds a vine basket containing a bottle, and has a perplexed or scared look due to Crablante, who is also cosplaying Red Riding Hood, being next to him.[5]
