Powers & Abilities
Powers
Artificially Enhanced Physiology:The Super Soldier Serum enhanced all of Rogers' bodily functions, such as his strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, senses, healing, and lifespan to superhuman levels. He is very muscular, athletic and physically capable. The Super-Soldier Serum also healed all of his ailments, physical and genetic imperfections instantly, giving him a perfect body better than that of a man in his physical prime. It also prevents him from getting intoxicated by alcohol, meaning he cannot get drunk. The Super Soldier Serum permanently transformed him from a frail young man into the "perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning.
Enhanced Intelligence: Rogers' mental performance has been greatly enhanced to operate in the most efficient and rapid manner possible. Some manifestations of this are his exceptionally perfect charisma, eloquence, leadership skills, deductive skills, analytical skills, and tactical genius. Rogers has demonstrated the ability to quickly process multiple information streams and rapidly respond to any changing tactical situations by creating perfect winning strategies rapidly. Rogers possesses perfect memory as demonstrated when he was able to perfectly replicate the locations of all HYDRA bases on a map, despite "only getting a glance," as well as retain obscure details of his youth with Bucky Barnes even the latter could not. He also remembered what Barnes said to him after his mother's funeral 78 years earlier and repeated it to overcome the latter's brainwashing. It took him less than a minute to realize that his "recovery room" was a lie because he remembered the baseball game being broadcasted on the radio. Rogers is able to learn anything, such as memorization, understand and recall all kinds of information and skills much faster than normal humans. Even though he was unconscious, Rogers was able to recall the conversation S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had while they were defrosting him. Further evidence of his mental capacity enhancement is that he is able to anticipate the angle of deflection when his shield is thrown, when it deflects off of his target which can change from hard metal surfaces to yielding human bodies and still ensure that the shield returns to his hand. Even with his limited knowledge of modern technology, Rogers was still able to help Tony Stark repair a Helicarrier and prevent it from crashing and help the Hulk set up their time travel apparatus, or when he quickly gave the Avengers and the first responders an efficient plan to minimize and contain damage to New York City from the Chitauri invasion. Rogers also quickly assimilated to modern culture through extensive reading and the Internet. Since the Super Soldier Serum amplifies personality aspects as well, Rogers' brain chemistry is also altered. Though Rogers was brave, determined, and compassionate before, the SSS has also amplified those character traits. Rogers can learn much faster than an ordinary human; for instance, he became proficient in using weapons such as Proxima Midnight's spear, Corvus Glaive's glaive, Loki's scepter, Mjølnir, and Stormbreaker by quickly learning to use them within short period of time. Indeed, Rogers was the only Avenger who was able and worthy to lift Mjølnir, despite Thor's claims to the Guardians of the Galaxy that any attempts to lift a weapon of a similar type by one who is not worthy would result in their bodies crumbling and their minds simultaneously collapsing into madness.
Enhanced Strength: Rogers' physical strength is enhanced to superhuman levels. His strength allows him to physically overpower elite-trained humans, extraterrestrial troops, and robot sentries. Rogers can bend metal bars with visible effort, slam through solid walls and reinforced glass, and pry open steel doors. Rogers effortlessly crushed a walkie-talkie from one of the German police officers in one hand and tore off a taxi door with ease. Rogers' strength allows for him to send enemies flying several meters in the air from mere punches and kicks during his fight. Rogers can even generate enough force to have his shield pierce the metal frame of a Quinjet. While Rogers' strength is rivaled by enhanced beings like Black Panther and Winter Soldier with his natural arm, and Iron Man in his early armors, surpassed by the likes of Corvus Glaive, Winter Soldier via bionic arm, and Ultron and outclassed by Iron Man in his latest armors, Hulk, Loki, Thor, and Thanos. Rogers' strength combined with his astonishingly effective muscle control can enhance his profound fighting skills. Rogers' experience of unarmed and armed combatant allows him to subdue those of equal strength, such as when Rogers successfully overpowered Winter Soldier by restraining him while firmly breaking his flesh hand to successfully force him to drop the key and leaving him unconscious. He shown to be strong enough to force back both Black Panther in his Panther Habit and War Machine with little difficulty, and breaking out of Spider-Man's web and use it to pull Spider-Man to him. With aid from Winter Soldier, Rogers was able to eventually overpower Iron Man in his Mark XLVI Armor by forcing him to be pinned down even when he had activated his repulsors mid-fight, dismantle pieces of the armor and destroy its arc reactor with a single blow from his shield with great effort. Rogers was able to fight against Loki long enough for Stark to help him catch Loki, with him managing to slightly harm him with a strong-force kick and jab to the face. Rogers was able to hold up to Ultron's second robotic body and even toss him through a solid pillar, and contend against Glaive to enough degree to effectively block his blows. Rogers was able to hold his own against Thanos even though it only last for moments. Nevertheless, Rogers was able to slightly stagger Thanos with a few blows from his collapsible Wakandan shields and exerted all of his maximum potential strength with both his arms to briefly halt Thanos from closing his Infinity Gauntlet hand with five Infinity Stones already inserted, an incredible feat of strength that eventually surprised Thanos, despite the fact he was completely unmatched for the Mad Titan. Later on, Rogers was able to make the 2014 Thanos slightly stumble with a kick to the head despite his helmet and momentarily restrain Thanos hard enough to make him grunt in discomfort while along with Thor gradually pushing Stormbreaker to Thanos' head, nearly succeeding in killing him and ultimately forcing Thanos to use both hands to swiftly overpower him and Thor. During his USO tours, Rogers was able to lift a motorcycle frame with three showgirls sitting on top without any strain. Rogers was also able to pull himself away from the immense magnetic force applied on his hand by a magnetic handcuff, which humans cannot achieve. Rogers was able to lift a large metal support beam to save a trapped Winter Soldier when he was critically injured. He also supported falling debris from a small collapsing building to save Black Widow and himself from being crushed with help from his shield. While chopping wood, Rogers easily ripped apart a block of a wood trunk in half with his bare hands. He has been able to throw a moving motorcycle at a jeep and with no required effort, and support the weight of an entire car during Ultron's initial attack on Sokovia. Rogers even stopped a helicopter, piloted by Winter Soldier from lifting off by pulling on its landing gear with extreme effort. In Lagos, Rogers kicked a 1.48-ton[46] pickup truck with enough force to dent it and send an enemy soldier flying away upon impact. After Michael Peterson moved a bulldozer in further distance, he asked a S.H.I.E.L.D. trainer, who records the time, to see if he beat Rogers' time; however, a S.H.I.E.L.D. trainer replied that Peterson was "not even close" to beating Rogers' time record. In other words, Rogers was able to move a bulldozer even faster than Peterson himself. During the Battle at the HYDRA Siberian Facility, Iron Man's suit recorded his punching power at 1,346.206 newtons (302.6 pounds of force).
Enhanced Durability: Rogers' bones and muscles are denser and much harder than average humans, which makes him incredibly durable. Though he is not bulletproof, he can survive extreme blunt force trauma, such as being hit with solid objects like his own shield, or contact with superhuman opponents like Loki, the Winter Soldier, and the Red Skull. With his vibranium shield, he is capable of surviving falls from great heights that would eventually kill a normal human. Rogers has been tasered, shot, stabbed, caught in several explosions, and taken several beatings including being blasted off of a causeway into a city bus by a launched grenade, falling from the 30th floor of the Triskelion while using his shield with little discomfort, and getting beaten by the metal arm of Winter Soldier in the face multiple times. With his enhanced physiology, Rogers was able to recover and continue fighting after taking such powerful blows in efficient time. Another example of his durability is when Rumlow tried to tase him with the Taser Rod, which he resisted for more than five seconds with endurable discomfort whereas ordinary humans would become unconscious almost immediately on contact. Rogers dropped down to one of Project S.H.I.E.L.D. Insight's helicarrier from a considerable height without injury. Rogers was able to dive out of a Quinjet without a parachute into open water. He was able to survive both of Ultron's blasts and Iron Man's repulsors straight in the chest, as well as Scarlet Witch's telekinetic bolts and a super-accelerated punch from Quicksilver, all without any noticeable damage whatsoever, while he's getting back up immediately after all of these. Rogers was even able to withstand being telekinetically knocked away by Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet and quickly recover to stand against the Mad Titan for a while on his own. Even after being briefly incapacitated by a powerful punch from Thanos, who nowhere near used his full strength, Rogers was once again able to eventually get back up on his feet. He was later able to withstand powerful blows from 2014 Thanos even without Mjølnir with only bleeding scars and critical bruises.

He was later able to withstand powerful blows from 2014 Thanos even without Mjølnir with only bleeding scars and critical bruises.
Enhanced Speed: Rogers can run and move at speeds beyond the peak of human potential. He can catch up to or outrun speeding vehicles and cover a small area such as city blocks in seconds as well. Sam Wilson stated that Rogers ran thirteen miles in thirty minutes after their warm-up jogging. Even while completely unmatched, Rogers was quick enough to surprise Quicksilver before he gets back up and briefly stun him with his shield. Similarly, while overwhelmed by Thanos, Rogers was able to surprise him enough to land three hits on him. Although Rogers' speed rivals with Winter Soldier and Black Panther, they were capable of outrunning him in a chase due to their head start, forcing him to resort to hijacking a car to catch up. Nevertheless, at peak capacity, Rogers proves to be as fast as them, as shown during the Battle of Wakanda, when he ran at almost equal speeds with T'Challa when rushing towards the Outriders.
Enhanced Agility: Rogers' agility is far greater than that of an Olympic-gold medalist. He can coordinate his body with perfect balance, equilibrium, flexibility, and dexterity. While escaping the destruction of the HYDRA base that Bucky Barnes and the Howling Commandos were held captive in, Rogers was able to leap from one end of the complex to the other in order to escape. During his chase of the Winter Soldier, he was able to leap from the inside of his apartment into the building across the street. Rogers can leap over cars with simple running moves. Rogers can use his enhanced agility to perform amazing parkour and gymnastic moves that would be truly difficult for a normal human to accomplish.
Enhanced Stamina: Rogers' body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-inducing lactic acid in his muscles and his musculature produces fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity, greater than of normal humans. Rogers could exert himself at peak capacity for several hours without showing any sign of fatigue, allowing him to fight for long periods of time. Additionally, Rogers can hold his breath underwater for several minutes and will not lose breath or get exhausted due to his stamina extending to his lung capacity. Rogers was able to run for 13 miles without any noticeable sign of fatigue. Rogers was also able to hold his breath underwater to intercept Heinz Kruger in his miniature submarine for brief periods of time. Morover, Rogers has a higher level of endurance than a normal human. It allows him to remain calm in stressful situations and able to endure high levels of pain.
Enhanced Reflexes: Rogers' reflexes are superior to those of the finest human athletes. His reflexes allow him to dodge rapid gunfire at close range and was once able to evade gunfire from a Quinjet's Gatling gun as he was accelerating towards the airship on his motorcycle. Rogers' auto-reflexes allow him to easily dodge gunfire and respond quickly to fast-paced combat soldiers and are subdued by Captain America before they can even train their weapons on him. His reflexes can also be used to attack and counter instead of just defensive purposes, allowing him to punish attacks with devastating counters when fighting extraordinary quick opponents. Rogers was also able to easily catch Proxima Midnight's spear when it was hurled at him, and even had enough reflexes to stop Thanos' left hand, which was adorned by the Infinity Gauntlet, before it could hit him, and was able to react to the 2014 Thanos' attacks to block them with his shield. He dodges the accelerated helicopter blades that were coming towards him after pulling down the helicopter that the brainwashed Winter Soldier was flying in.
Enhanced Senses: Rogers' natural senses have been enhanced to the peak of human potential. He can see, hear, smell, feel, and taste things imperceptible to the normal humans. This allows him to see further, hear with amazing clarity, detect specific persons, objects, substances with his smell, etc. He was able to notice little things such as sweat drops trickling down a man's face to tip him off to danger. Rogers has also spotted a HYDRA soldier high up in a tree completely hidden when platoons of soldiers had no idea. Despite Barnes having stealthily sneaked behind Rogers in his apartment making no sound whatsoever, the latter was somehow immediately aware to the former's presence.
Regenerative Healing Factor: The Super-Soldier Serum granted Steve Rogers' physiology an accelerated rate of healing and regeneration. Rogers is immune to earthly infections, diseases, and disorders; Rogers also cannot become intoxicated by alcohol, drugs, toxins, or impurities, thus he can't get drunk like his friends. Rogers' metabolic rate is able to withstand the consumption of Asgardian ale which was aged for a millennium in the barrels built from the wreck of Grunhel's fleet and deemed by Thor to not be intended for mortal men to drink. Rogers is capable of healing large cuts and bruises within hours and fatal gunshot wounds and fractures within several days. Rogers was able to regenerate from being shot in the stomach by a Chitauri gun directly in the abdomen in a matter of minutes. Rogers' injuries can heal rapidly without leaving a trace of injury. Rogers is able to regain consciousness in a short amount of time after nearly dying. He is also immune to poisonous gas as shown in the Attack on the IFID Headquarters, when Rogers went into the building, he was seemingly unharmed from the poison effects whereas a terrorist soldier, whose gas mask been taken off by Rogers, was instantly suffering from the gas.
Longevity: As a result of the Super Soldier Serum, Rogers ages much slower than the normal human, a trait he shares with fellow super soldiers Bucky Barnes and Isaiah Bradley. This kept him alive and halted his aging while being frozen in ice and placed in a cryogenic state. After being in the modern day for twelve years, Rogers time traveled from 2023 back to the 1949 and lived for approximately seventy years, and upon his return to 2023 had the bearings of a slightly younger man despite being biologically over a hundred years old.
Former powers
Powers via Mjølnir: Due to the enchantments placed on the mystic hammer, Rogers was given the ability to focus on Thor's abilities and take advantage of them to considerably increase his abilities. The hammer also allowed him to easily take advantage of the weather elements.
Lightning Manipulation:While using Mjølnir, Rogers gained the ability to summon bolts of lightning from the surrounding horizon. In addition to being able to channel electricity on its own, Mjølnir can draw environmental electricity from the surrounding atmosphere and redirect it towards a specific goal, as was shown when Rogers was able to summon several bolts from the sky and briefly subdue Thanos with them. He also used the bolts during the battle against Thanos' army.
Physical Augmentation: After becoming worthy of Mjølnir, all of Rogers' physical attributes such as his strength, speed and durability were increased to incredible superhuman levels, as he was able to overtake and topple Thanos, outpacing his sword blow and knocking him down, and proceed to land blows on Thanos that were strong enough to knock him over and hurt him, even damaging his helmet, with the hammer and swiftly get back up on his feet with no injuries upon being roughly slammed to the ground by Thanos, before being ultimately overpowered and disarmed of the hammer by the Mad Titan.
Weapon Summoning: Mjølnir obeyed Rogers' summons as though it was driven by a form of intelligence. Rogers didn't seem to have total control of this ability, as on at least one occasion, he accidentally summoned Stormbreaker instead.
Master Martial Artist: Rogers is a master hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist, having extensive levels of knowledge of melee combat as well as being considerably experienced in combat operations. He has mastered several martial arts such as muay Thai, boxing, Krav Maga, Taekwondo, savate, wushu, judo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Even in World War II, when he was still inexperienced, Captain America proved to be a skilled fighter, having used his knowledge of combat, his enhanced attributes, and shield to defeat hundreds of Nazi soldiers and even Red Skull himself. After being revived in the 21st century, Rogers was quickly put into action again and remained as skilled as ever; he proved to stand against Loki in combat, holding him long enough for Iron Man to aid him by arresting him, hold his own against an enraged Thor during their first encounter to standstill with aid of his shield, and also managed to defeat hordes of Chitauri aliens at the Battle of New York. When a police officer questioned why he should take orders from Captain America, the latter easily defeated several attacking Chitauri soldiers, inducing the impressed officer to follow his orders without question. When he joined S.H.I.E.L.D., Rogers received more extensive training and became even more skilled in hand-to-hand combat, proving more than capable of defeating several armed pirates, soldiers of HYDRA, a dozen STRIKE agents, as well as having Georges Batroc knocked out in a one-on-one fight with ease. Captain America have enough skill to evenly matched against opponents like Black Panther and Winter Soldier. He shown to fight on par against Black Panther and defeat him in their first fight, though it should be noted that Black Panther 's vengeance and full intentions wasn't targeting on Rogers, but instead Winter Soldier as well as equally fought the notorious Winter Soldier in combat, having gained the upper hand in their first fight and ultimately defeating the latter by putting him in a chokehold in their second fight, while their last fight ended in Barnes' victory due to Rogers being surprised, he was able to block most of Barnes' blows. Rogers is even able to use his combat skills to hold his own against or even defeat considerably stronger or at least equally strong opponents, with him matching and eventually defeating an armored Crossbones, swiftly beating the inexperienced Spider-Man while holding back, holding his own against and landing some hits on Loki, giving Ultron's second body a prolonged fight, easily overwhelming Iron Man and forcing him to use F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s advanced combat analysis, with even then Tony needing to use his repulsors to overwhelm him briefly, and yet eventually still win against Iron Man with aid from Winter Soldier, who distracted Iron Man by grabbing onto his leg before getting hit. Rogers easily disarmed and competed against Corvus Glaive shortly before Glaive could gain the upper hand, and even ultimately managing to briefly hold his own alone against Thanos himself, even landing three punches on the Mad Titan in quick succession and just barely managing to deflect a blow from Thanos, although he was quickly beaten, as well as later on holding off the 2014 Thanos long enough for Iron Man and Thor to prepare a coordinated attack. Rogers also managed to defeat hordes of Ultron Sentries during the Battle of Sokovia and bested and killed many Outriders during the Battle of Wakanda. Furthermore, he ultimately defeated his 2012 counterpart by outwitting him in combat and using Loki's scepter to subdue him.
Shield Mastery: Rogers' years of training and experience with his unique shield, as well as its physical properties, allow him to accomplish amazing feats with the item. Aside from bashing foes and blocking incoming attacks, even from extremely skilled weapon masters such as Thor with his hammer and even Thanos using his sword, he is able to throw it with a nearly perfect aim, managing to slice Spider-Man's webbing with it mid-air. Rogers can hit multiple targets with the same throw by means of ricochet, and could even achieve a boomerang-like return effect, allowing him to strike enemies from behind or retrieve the shield without objects to ricochet from. Additionally, Rogers can perform combination techniques with his allies, such as allowing Thor to strike his shield to create a directed shockwave at HYDRA soldiers, jumping and catching his shield thrown by Hawkeye and throwing it at an Ultron Sentry before landing on the ground, and allowing Thor to strike his shield's edge with his hammer to send it through multiple Sentries. Rogers' skill applies to other shields, as he was able to wield the Wakandan shields given to him for the Battle of Wakanda very expertly as blunt weapons, killing many Outriders and managing to combat and even disarm Corvus Glaive as well as even land a few hits on Thanos. Rogers can use his signature shield in conjunction with other weapons like Thor's hammer and Stormbreaker with equal, if not even greater effect.
Spear Mastery: Rogers is extremely skilled at fighting with a spear for close combat, managing to use Corvus Glaive's weapon to fight and disarm Proxima Midnight of her spear alongside Black Widow.
Hammer Mastery: Rogers displayed outstanding skill with the mighty Asgardian war hammer Mjølnir, after he had been found worthy of wielding it, able to briefly overtake Thanos, landing several vicious blows, and could easily take down many Outriders with it. He could also throw it accurately to hit his shield after having previously thrown it to the air to generate a shockwave to stun Thanos.
Axe Mastery: Rogers is skilled in fighting with an axe, able to effectively wield Stormbreaker to easily kill off several Outriders, whenever he and Thor traded weapons.
Expert Marksman: Rogers can throw most projectile weaponry with great accuracy and is well-versed in the use of firearms like the military-issued Colt 1911 or the Thompson submachine gun during World War II and eventually modern firearms, picking up a Noveske N4 Diplomat and using it with ease. While he knew how to use the modern assault rifle, he was not used to it and missed his targets each time he fired and even slipped from the platform he stood on and grabbed a wire to stay on the ship when caught in a hail of gunfire from the men that he was fighting on the Helicarrier. Rogers also shows expertise in knife throwing, as seen during the Battle in the Valkyrie, the Attack on the Helicarrier, and the Hijacking and Retaking of the Lemurian Star. During the Clash of the Avengers, Rogers accurately threw a miniaturized truck at one of Lang's Pym Particles Disks.
Master Acrobat: Rogers' years of training and experience have made him an highly skilled acrobat, gymnast, and aerialist. He often utilizes these talents in combat for both evasive and offensive purposes. Combined with his enhanced agility, Rogers has shown expertise in utilizing parkour and tricking flips in his attacks and takedowns.
Master Spy: Aside from being a veteran soldier and one of the world's greatest combatants, Rogers is skilled in espionage, intelligence gathering, stealth, infiltration, and sabotage. During World War II, Rogers and the Howling Commandos successfully raided several HYDRA bases, rescued Allied POWs, and captured top HYDRA scientist, Dr. Arnim Zola. After being revived in the 21st century, despite his lack of knowledge of the current technologies, he managed to sneak around in the Helicarrier and discovered S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Tesseract-based weaponry. When Rogers received additional training from S.H.I.E.L.D., he became a highly accomplished spy in his own right. He participated in several black-ops missions with STRIKE and helped thwart the HYDRA Uprising. Rogers, Romanoff and Wilson easily infiltrated Fort Meade to retrieve the EXO-7 Falcon, despite it being protected by three guarded gates and a foot-long steel wall. He and Stark also successfully infiltrated Camp Lehigh, absconding with the Tesseract and Pym Particles. He evaded capture from authorities when he became a fugitive twice (during the HYDRA Uprising and Avengers Civil War). However, Rogers' most impressive feat was breaking into an underwater highly secured prison, the Raft, and freeing his fellow Avengers with exceptional difficulty.
Master Tactician: Rogers is an excellent strategist and tactical genius. He can formulate battle strategies and his brilliant tactical sense allows him to alter near any strategy to fit the changing needs of the situation. A prime example is when he formulated the plan to go in first by himself in "the front door" of Red Skull's hidden base. After taking out the Red Skull's defenses and feigning a surrender, the assault team and then the full force of the Strategic Scientific Reserve came in and raided the base following Rogers' initial assault. His tactical brilliance also came into play during the Chitauri assault on New York, first in organizing first responders to protect the civilian population, and then re-deploying other members of the Avengers to best defend the city with their limited resources. While not as intelligent as Tony Stark or Bruce Banner nor possessing Clint Barton's keen awareness, Rogers frequently proved himself a quick study in battlefield situations being able to quickly ascertain details from minor actions. His bravery and determination further supplement this as he is willing to take even the riskiest of choices to stand a chance to win, a trait best exemplified when he was quickly able to deduce the HYDRA personnel in an elevator were about to attack him and provoked them into attacking him. He again demonstrated this skill when Thanos arrived in Wakanda, quickly realizing that the Infinity Gauntlet had to be clenched for access to its powers and bravely charging the warlord to hold his hand open. As seen during World War II and the Chitauri Invasion, Captain America has demonstrated impressive charisma and leadership skills. Rogers was able to command respect from his fellow Avengers and the undying loyalty of his Howling Commandos. Rogers' extraordinary ability to not only inspire the nobility in others but also assess combat situations and come up with effective strategies made his fellow Avengers recognize him as the leader of their team. During the Chitauri attack on New York, Captain America focused on directing civilian authorities to keep the citizens safe and off the streets while the rest of the Avengers focused their efforts on taking out the Chitauri's military assets. Even when outnumbered by the forces of HYDRA within S.H.I.E.L.D., Steve was able to get Wilson, Hill, Romanoff, and even Fury, along with the loyal agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight back against HYDRA and stop Project Insight from being achieved. As a result, Rogers dealt HYDRA their first devastating blow in decades, since he fought against them in World War II.
Skilled Artist: Before fighting in the War, Rogers took art classes at Auburndale Art School from 1937 to 1938. During the war and his tour, Rogers kept a notebook of his drawings that showed his discontent as a mascot. Peggy Carter even kept his drawing of himself as a monkey in her retirement home. After being defrosted, Rogers retained his artistic skills, as he vividly sketched Stark Tower on a napkin outside a restaurant.
Pilot: Rogers has at least basic knowledge of aircraft piloting. In the 1940s, he crash-landed Red Skull's plane on the Arctic. After returning, he has proved the capability to fly a Quinjet.
Multilingualism: Rogers speaks his native English, as well as fluent French, which he used to communicate with Georges Batroc. He also understands Arabic
