Most ancient Egyptian funerary texts
reference numerous powers of the superhero:

the ẖt (Middle Egyptian /ˈçuːwaʔ/, Coptic ϩⲏ) "physical body",
the sꜥḥ "spiritual body",
the rn (/ɾin/, Coptic ⲣⲁⲛ or ⲗⲉⲛ) "name, identity",
the bꜣ "personality", the kꜣ (/kuʔ/,
Old Egyptian /kuʀ/) "double",
the jb (/jib/, Coptic ⲉⲡ) "heart",
the šwt "shadow",
the sḫm (/saːχam/) "power, form",
and the ꜣḫ: the combined spirits of the person that has successfully completed its transition to its New Life.

Rosalie David, an Egyptologist at the University of Manchester,
explains the the hero's powers as follows:

The Egyptians believed that the human
personality had many facets - a concept that
was probably developed early in the Old Kingdom.

By day, the person was a complete alter-
ego but if he leads a virtuous life,
he has access to extraordinary powers
that he can use in his New Life. In
some instances, these powers are employed
to help those whom the hero supports,
or to take lethal revenge on his enemies.
