Harley Quinn



Skills, abilities, and equipment

[edit]

Harley Quinn has no superpowers, and relies on her unpredictability, gymnastics skills, and weapons and hand-to-hand proficiency.[1] She is a peak athlete, having won a gymnastics scholarship at Gotham City's Gotham State University.[1][2][3] Following her transition to main DC canon in 1999, Harley Quinn was established as having immunity to toxins and enhanced strength, agility, durability, and reflexes, which she received after having been injected a serum concocted by Poison Ivy.[1] "Vengeance Unlimited, Part Five" (Harley Quinn vol. 1 #30) revealed that it also gave her the ability to breathe underwater.[4]

Harley Quinn wields various types of weapons: unconventional weapons, such as a baseball bat and her signature weapon, a giant wooden mallet; explosive weapons such as bazookas, customized bombs, and dynamites;[5][6] firearms, such as pistols, assault rifles, and machine guns;[5] and weaponized gag items, such as a pop gun, a rubber chicken, and a gun that shoots a boxing glove.[7] Harley Quinn also has a pair of pet hyenas, Bud and Lou, which she can order to attack her opponents.[1]
