He has shown the ability to shape his forcefields at will and fix their position in midair without any grounding.

History[edit]
Shielder went out with the rest of New Wave in an attempt to stop the Empire Eighty-Eight's capes. He fought alongside Flashbang and Brandish against Krieg, Victor, Othala and Alabaster. When Purity blasted a rooftop in an attempt to hit Glory Girl, Shielder deflected the blast with a shield.<ref name="7.9">Buzz 7.9</ref>
