Travel Speed: At least Athletic Human, Superhuman with Bicycle (The highest speed officially recorded for a bicycle ridden under fair conditions was 82.52 km/h or 22.92 m/s, thanks to even out-of-shape olathians being clearly superhuman it is safe to assume that he rides his Bicycle at at least this speed; he himself far downscales from his Bicycle), at most Superhuman, Supersonic with Bicycle (When he is riding his Bike, he can temporarily almost move in tandem with shots from a revolver, which can tag similarly quick foes during combat; he himself far downscales from his Bicycle)
Attack Speed: At least Supersonic+ (Although a little slower, his early game self is comparable to Rage Ironhead, who can catch in fire mid-air while doing headbutts, which would require him to be this fast. Throughout the events of the game, Brad gradually becomes faster and manages to overtake the speed of Area 1 Rage)
Reaction Speed: At least Supersonic+
Stamina: At least Superhuman (LISA characters are capable of engaging in combat despite being mortally wounded. Comparable to Dick Dickson, who should in return be comparable to his companion Salvation Black, who himself said that he was stuck in a doorway for two weeks), can recover his stamina during fights by taking on his Horse Stance

Other
Standard Tactics: Although a bit of a wildcard, Brad specializes in close quarters combat and utilizes the moves the Armstrong Style entails. As a failure, his fighting style becomes more aggressive and feral, as evidenced by him starting to bite enemies even if he still has both of his arms at that point. This makes him even more unpredictable than before.
Weaknesses: Brad will occasionally go through Withdrawal if he hasn't taken Joy in a while, which puts a heavy damper on his stats to the point where he is unable to harm comparable enemies with his normal attacks and only do chip damage with his most powerful ones (this however only sparingly affected him in his last key and over the course of his final fight he lost this trait as he was on the verge of turning into a joy mutant). He is considerably weaker than he initially was if he has lost one or both of his arms and his need for joy will be even greater than before.
