Character background
Captain Boom is a crime fighter that can fly and run fast.[5][6] He also have an amplified hearing and able to create a sonic shield and sonic roar.[5][Note 1] He does not have super strength but upon generating a sonic shield on his fist and hitting a vehicle, it can have a dent without making a damage on his hand. All of his powers are produced through sonic means.[5] He has the ability of flight due to the creation of sound waves and thus, he cannot fly in space because there is no sound there.[5][7]
He dons a red suit with a three-star emblem on his chest and a blue cape. His grandmother made his first costume out of a red shirt and pants together with a handkerchief with holes that serves as a mask.[5]
