Abomination is very similar to the Hulk in terms of strength, stamina, speed, durability, and ability to regenerate, but differs in that the Abomination retains his intellect and cannot change back into human form. Additionally he possesses gills which enable him to breathe underwater, and can enter a state of suspended animation when bereft of oxygen for long periods. When originally created, the Abomination was approximately twice as strong as the Hulk in an enraged state, but his strength does not increase with anger.
