Magic Cloak and Crown/Undead Cat Army:
- Upon wearing the cloak and crown, Tom gains command over the undead denizens of the feline catacombs from the sewers.
- Also may have electrical powers? Considering that electricity somehow appeared/boomed within the sewers when he first wore it. (Though this may have been just for dramatic effect)
- Unknown what the exact number of the undead cats are, but odds are that they are at least hundreds of them.
- Can easily reassemble themselves instantly if they get blown/taken apart into pieces.
- Even when they are reduced to pieces, they can still move around and even squeeze their way into small passages.
Weaknesses:
- However, the undead cats are very clumsy numbskulls. Not to mention that they can be somewhat prone to fight each other in a stooge-like manner.
- They'll also copy almost anything Tom does. (Whether be it a simple motion or even scratching an itch)
- Dogs. Because yano, they're cat skeletons.
Cloning Machine:
- The ray at the top of the machine scans Tom and produces a clone inside the machine, which will produce a bright blinding flash each time it does so.

- The "Normal" mode reduces the target's speed to that of an average person. (Or if they were struck by the zapper in a different setting prior, back to their normal speed)
- The "Fast" mode gives the target super speed.
- While the invention is bound to a chair, Tom can actually take it with him.
Muscular Tom:
The Kat Car:
- Despite appearing to be rundown (It was made in a scrapyard), it actually functions just fine.
- The car can literally spring up on a unicycle (which is somehow capable of supporting it) , which is useful for riding across busy traffic.

- Can support three cars on top of it.
- Can have a cannon emerge on the hood, which allows it to shoot projectiles like snowballs.
- Can deploy a wooden raft for sailing across the ocean.

- Can close a glass dome over the car, for when Tom has to drive underwater.
- Can also spray out "Fish Juice" out of it's exhaust pipes by pressing a button, which releases an essence smelling of fish onto those behind the car that attracts hostile predators like sharks.

The Kat Jet:
- A jet engine given to Tom during the race.
- Left almost the whole island of Borneo on fire just from taking off.
- The wind pressure of it speeding by is so strong (to the point of it being Toon Force) that it turned the Eiffel Tower into a pretzel, turned a castle into a bunch of trailer park mobile homes, forced the Grand Canyon shut, and left the Statue of Liberty in a bikini.
- Demolished most of Mount Everest and the Great Wall of China just by flying through it.
- Can lack common sense at times.
- Rather unlucky: Is accident-prone and his plans usually tend to backfire on him.
- Rarely knows when to quit when it comes to certain things.
- Does have a tendency of underestimating things that are smaller than him.
-- However, he'll stop underestimating them once he sees what they can do.

- Can get distracted by balls of yarn or laser pointers.
- Despite his toon force/endurance, can still feel pain and get knocked out.
-- Heck, Tom has even died at the end of some certain episodes.

-- Strangely enough, they can hurt others as if they were solid as opposed to gas.
- While the use of Rat Cop does seem rather limited, Jerry was able to use it against Tom by scribbling a 'C' over the 'R' of the Rat Cop spray with a marker, so it's possible that Tom can change the name in order to use them against his foe.
Cat Food:
- Upon eating a single pellet, the consumer will be left in a very content and happy mood, where they will purr just like a cat.
- Will work no matter how much of a negative mood the consumer was in beforehand.

Protection Gear:
- A sort of improvised safety armor made up of heavy layers of bubble wrap and a helmet.
- Inspired by Spike putting similar armor on Tyke as protection.
- Despite it's home-made appearance, it seems to actually do it's intended purpose rather well: Tom isn't really harmed by blunt physical damage while wearing this, and any attacks that send him flying end with him harmlessly bouncing off of surfaces like a ball
Girdle-Wings:
- Allows Tom to be able to fly and soar around the area just like a bird.
Jetpack:
- Allows Tom to fly around at high speeds.
- Probably more faster than the Girdle Wings.

- Said laser is capable of slicing through steel.
Power-Ups (War of the Whiskers) :
- When Tom comes in contact with the question mark, he will recieve the either of the following:
- Forcefield: Coats Tom in a circular forcefield, which temporarily makes it near-impossible to attack him.
- Poison: Will drain the health of whoever gets it. Tom can pass it over to his opponent on contact, which will make them have it instead.
Robot Cat:
Girdle-Wings:
- Allows Tom to be able to fly and soar around the area just like a bird.
Jetpack:
- Allows Tom to fly around at high speeds.
- Probably more faster than the Girdle Wings.
Laser Cannon:
- Fires out a laser that can slice through seemingly anything on contact.
- Said laser is capable of slicing through steel.

Robot Cat:- Despite the Robot Cat initially having a quadrupled-like appearance, it can also move around on it's two legs like a biped; Which allows it to get a hold of items and use them.
- Smart enough to quickly disassemble machinery with nothing more but a screwdriver.
- Can deliver a harsh bite by clamping down with beartrap-like mouth, and can even do so consecutively in a combo-like manner.
- Can jump and then perform a double jump in mid-air to get more height.
- Can still function fine after being frozen solid.
- The Robot Cat's limbs can extend to long lengths, allowing it to get a bigger height.
- Has some minor Toon Force; The Robot Cat can stretch it's maw open to cartoony lengths, can regenerate from being crushed/flattened, and can heal up from losing several parts.
- After a moment of readying itself, the Robot Cat can shoot fireballs from it's mouth as a ranged attack.
- Can function as a flamethrower of sorts by spinning around with the engines flared up, which will burn anyone in range as a result.
- It's tail can also function as a propeller, which allows it to take flight into the air as it shoots out fireballs down below to it's targets.
-Can also be armed with a blaster.
Weaknesses:
- Not exactly loyal, and even a bit of a sore loser; When it fails too many times, it will proceed to go after Tom and take out it's anger on him. (And in one case, even overthrow Tom by using a device to mind-control him into a robotic version of himself)
- Somehow susceptible to coughing fits, which can leave him open for a short time.
- Despite being a robot, can still feel pain and even be knocked out.
- Is a rather hard character to play as in the "War of the Whiskers" game.
Magic Cloak and Crown/Undead Cat Army:
- Upon wearing the cloak and crown, Tom gains command over the undead denizens of the feline catacombs from the sewers.
- Also may have electrical powers? Considering that electricity somehow appeared/boomed within the sewers when he first wore it. (Though this may have been just for dramatic effect)
- Unknown what the exact number of the undead cats are, but odds are that they are at least hundreds of them.
- Can easily reassemble themselves instantly if they get blown/taken apart into pieces.
- Even when they are reduced to pieces, they can still move around and even squeeze their way into small passages.
Weaknesses:
- However, the undead cats are very clumsy numbskulls. Not to mention that they can be somewhat prone to fight each other in a stooge-like manner.
- They'll also copy almost anything Tom does. (Whether be it a simple motion or even scratching an itch)
- Dogs. Because yano, they're cat skeletons.
Cloning Machine:
- The ray at the top of the machine scans Tom and produces a clone inside the machine, which will produce a bright blinding flash each time it does so.
- While Tom can seemingly create as many clones as he wants, he can only produce one clone at a time before using the machine to clone himself again.
Smart Cap:
- When worn, increases the intelligence of Tom (or whoever wears it) to a whole new degree.
- Gives him all of the world's knowledge.
- Can easily perform and solve complex equations. (And even beat someone in chess while doing so)
- Built a modern jetpack out of a literal bunch of junk in a few seconds. (Two soda cans, a glass bottle, ball of yarn, and a screw)
- Can casually outsmart enemies and make their plans backfire on them.
- Casually programmed a hostile robot into becoming friendly without even looking.
- It's possible for Tom's opponents to steal the invention and wear it for themselves.
- It can also be malfunctioned if someone uses a microwave near it.
Velcocity-Enhancing Speed-Altering Ultra Zapper:
- An invention that changes the speed of the target.
- The "Slow" mode slows the target down to slow motion-esque speed.
- The "Normal" mode reduces the target's speed to that of an average person. (Or if they were struck by the zapper in a different setting prior, back to their normal speed)
- The "Fast" mode gives the target super speed.
- While the invention is bound to a chair, Tom can actually take it with him.
Forms:
Muscular Tom:
- Gained after working out for some period of time.
- Should be much stronger than he is normally.
- Fought on par with Muscular Jerry, who is much stronger than normal.
Ice Tom:
- Gained when wearing the ice power ring.
- Tom can shoot blasts of ice, which will quickly freeze anyone in a block of ice on contact.
- Can fire out an ice beam out of his hand, which is likely more stronger than the ice blasts.
Stretchy Tom:
- Gained when wearing the elasticity power ring.
- Presumably far more stretchier than Tom is in his base form.
- Fought on par with Muscular Jerry, who is much stronger than normal.
Ice Tom:
- Gained when wearing the ice power ring.
- Tom can shoot blasts of ice, which will quickly freeze anyone in a block of ice on contact.
- Can fire out an ice beam out of his hand, which is likely more stronger than the ice blasts.
Stretchy Tom:
- Gained when wearing the elasticity power ring.
- Presumably far more stretchier than Tom is in his base form.
Spider-Tom:
- Gains this form when bitten by a spider.
- Gains this form when bitten by a spider.
- Can shoot webs out of the tip of his tail, which allows to quickly swing around the area much like Spider-Man.
-- Can also shoot out strings of web, which quickly binds the target, making it hard to move.
- Gradually grows larger with each fly he eats.
- Upon eating enough flies, he will transform into a much feral form.
- In this form; Tom is initially much smaller, much like a real spider. (Though he can bypass this problem by eating enough flies to increase his size)
- Oddly enough; Can be reverted back to normal by being bitten by a spider again. (Albeit he will be the size of a spider)

Vehicles:
The Kat Car:
- Despite appearing to be rundown (It was made in a scrapyard), it actually functions just fine.
- The car can literally spring up on a unicycle (which is somehow capable of supporting it) , which is useful for riding across busy traffic.
- Can easily bust through walls without taking damage.
- Can support three cars on top of it.
- Can have a cannon emerge on the hood, which allows it to shoot projectiles like snowballs.
- Can deploy a wooden raft for sailing across the ocean.
- Can attach skis at the bottom of the tires, which allows it to get through icy terrains easily and even drive on cliff walls.
-- Likewise, can also deploy cleats on the tires, which essentially does the same thing.
- The tires can also spring out, knocking away those within it's range before retracting back.
- Can close a glass dome over the car, for when Tom has to drive underwater.
- Can also spray out "Fish Juice" out of it's exhaust pipes by pressing a button, which releases an essence smelling of fish onto those behind the car that attracts hostile predators like sharks.
- Can be equipped with a laser, which is potent enough to actually slice off half of Australia.
The Kat Jet:
- A jet engine given to Tom during the race.
- Left almost the whole island of Borneo on fire just from taking off.
- The wind pressure of it speeding by is so strong (to the point of it being Toon Force) that it turned the Eiffel Tower into a pretzel, turned a castle into a bunch of trailer park mobile homes, forced the Grand Canyon shut, and left the Statue of Liberty in a bikini.
- Demolished most of Mount Everest and the Great Wall of China just by flying through it.
Scaling:
- Stronger than Jerry, who can casually wield mallets that weigh 100 tons and once shook outer space itself with a belch.
- Should scale to Jerry, who was able to pilot a martian spaceship that was capable of getting from Mars to Earth in a matter of minutes.
- Upscales from Biff and Buzz, who were merely covered in soot from being near an explosion caused by Dr. Professor's anti-matter-powered vehicle. (m.youtube.com/watch?v=kQiSuJI1…, exactly the first part of the video)
- Could scale to Cosmic Cat and Meteor Mouse, who are both capable of soaring through outer space while zooming past several stars in the background.
-- Another thing to note is that their base of operations are established to be on the planet Katnipton in the far-off galaxy of Rodentia, and they've arrived to Earth in a minute or two to put a stop to Spike's antagonistic behavior.
- Aside from characters original to the Tom and Jerry series, Tom could also potentially scale to the Tex Avery characters, given that they make recurring appearances in Tom and Jerry enough times that one could safely say that they share the same universe.

- Comparable to Droopy, who kept cartoonishly beating a criminal wolf to numerous locations, who's fast enough to have left behind his own shadow for a moment when he ran from the prison's searchlights.
(m.youtube.com/watch?v=e4LNTse4… , around the 0:35 mark)
(m.youtube.com/watch?v=e4LNTse4… , around the 0:35 mark)
- Scales to George and Junior, who survived an explosion of an explosives shack that proved to be powerful enough to burn down the entire forest.
- Scales to Barney Bear, who shook off two bullets from his hunting rifle exploding in his face. The same rifle shattered the sun at the end of the short.
-- Can scale to Barney's speed too, given he should be comparable to the duck in "The Little Wise Quacker", who could dodge point-blank blasts from Barney's hunting rifle despite standing right on top of the gun's barrel, which can travel to the sun and shatter it in a second.
- Scales to McWolf, who managed to put up some resistance against the suction force from his own Super Sucksaforsaurus machine, which was powerful enough to suck up a portion of the cartoon (which had stars and planets in the background).
- Scales to McWolf, who managed to put up some resistance against the suction force from his own Super Sucksaforsaurus machine, which was powerful enough to suck up a portion of the cartoon (which had stars and planets in the background).
-- McWolf also suggests in his villain monologue at the beginning of the "Galaxy Droopy" episode that the machine is capable of sucking up the universe.
- Comparable to Billy Goat, who quickly devoured the entire moon within seconds upon landing there at the end of the "Billy Boy" short. (m.youtube.com/watch?v=j18LE4yU…, around the 2:35 mark)
- Can scale to Bugs Bunny, who is a playable character in the official "Tom and Jerry Chase" game.
- Can scale to Bugs Bunny, who is a playable character in the official "Tom and Jerry Chase" game.
Weaknesses:
- Can lack common sense at times.
- Rather unlucky: Is accident-prone and his plans usually tend to backfire on him.
- Rarely knows when to quit when it comes to certain things.
- Does have a tendency of underestimating things that are smaller than him.
-- However, he'll stop underestimating them once he sees what they can do.
- Whenever he receives particularly heavy damage, he tends to get stunned/dazed for a moment or two before resuming what he's doing.
- Can get distracted by balls of yarn or laser pointers.
- Despite his toon force/endurance, can still feel pain and get knocked out.
-- Heck, Tom has even died at the end of some certain episodes.
- Toon force is random, inconsistent, and can back fire on him.
- Turpentine Acetone Benzene (AKA "The Dip" or "Toon Acid")
