==Powers and Abilities==
  +
*'''Superhuman Strength''': Hyde's enhanced size and musculature made him very strong. He can lift up a large heavy bell over his head. He could single-handedly lift a grown man off the ground and hurl him across a room.
  +
*'''Superhuman Speed''': He can move very fast for his weight.
  +
*'''Superhuman Endurance and Stamina''': He can endure some attacks from Van Helsing and after his limbs got cut off he was still able to fight on. His stamina is very high as he could fight for a prolonged period of time.
  +
*'''Intelligence and Communication''': Even when he becomes the monster he was able to speak very well and kept his intelligence.
  +
*'''Superhuman Senses''': His sense of hearing was enhanced and was notably higher than normal humans since the bell was hurting his ears because he can hear at higher frequencies.
  +
===Weaknesses===
  +
*'''Formula limit''': Like the original story, the formula's effect is not permanent and Hyde will eventually revert back to Jekyll.
  +
*'''Insanity''': Hyde's mind is mentally unstable and causes him to perform clumsy actions such as running headfirst into one of Notre Dame's bells and running off the tower's edge because he wasn't looking where he was going.
