Powers and Abilities[]

None.

Peak Human Conditioning: He was in just a great of shape as any excellent athlete. He had peak human strength, speed, endurance, agility, durability, reflexes and senses. He was borderline superhuman. In fact, he may have been superhuman, as it's possible he was a metahuman, although this was never clarified.

Climbing: He could climb vines like ropes, and he even used them to swing from one tree to another.

Multilingualism: He was able to communicate with animals all over the jungle, and even with marine life. He could also speak the language of the Mangani.

Horseback riding: Although he mostly didn't ride horses, he at times mounted elephants or other large animals commonly seen in the African jungle that was large enough for him to do so.

Contempt: Tarzan was contemptuous of mankind, because he viewed their so-called "civilizations" as hypocritical. Because of this, he had trouble trusting people.

At some point, Tarzan teams up with Superman and the 19th century Old West hero known as the Lone Ranger.^[2]

Tarzan the Ape Man was a movie that was based upon Tarzan's life in the jungle.

There was a poster for this film hanging at the Nostalgia Convention in 1980.^[3]
