Unlike most beings which are of a solid composition, Augustus is composed of a biological Mimetic Polyalloy or living liquid metal; the Mimetic Polyalloy construction of Augustus allows him to replicate any object or person of similar volume that he moleculary samples by physical contact as well as copy their memory as well as their attacks. It appears that Augustus can use a medium to do this without actually touching the victim's skin. This may possibly be through analysis of the subjects' electricial activity, reflective ability, refractive index or some other attribute, however this is unknown to all but him.
Augustus' cells are constructed in an ingenius way; each molecule of Augustus is a primitive miniaturised version of him, and each molecule contains all the "blueprints" needed for the creation of Augustus explaining how he can reform and regenerate.
It was originally believed that Augustus needed to know the position of every atom in the subject that he was replicating in order to mimic him/her/it exactly; however, it has been revealed that this hypothesis is false. It is not necesary, for example, for Augustus to replicate the digestive system, organs, brain, skeleton, or any other internal structure. As long as Augustus replicates the shape, tone, coloring, texture, and compositon of the outer surface of the subject, the position of all internal atoms does not matter. Augustus' internal structure could be any default composition; solid, liquid, alternating states of density or phase, or even hollow.
The liquid memory capacity of Augustus' molecular brain is immense allowing him to memorize and store mimicked patterns of anything as if they were simple thoughts. He is also capable of performing parallel distributing processing-thought and memory- throughout his entire body. Information recording may be based upon the alteration of his electron spin.
Augustus can lip read and is also able to synthesize the speech pattern of any being that it replicates. This does however require a sufficient sample of the subjects voice. Augustus' auditory sensors(ears) can be situated anywhere upon his body, as every molecule of him has the "blueprints" for all the needed parts to make Augustus a being.
Augustus is also capable of registering his environment in a dozen subtle ways using his entire body, can directly read magnetically encoded plus-minus information, and can run at great speeds. Augustus' body is also made so that he cannot die of old aging or natural causes.
The demi-tsufruian is capable of fashioning any solid metal form such as knives and stabbing weapons but he cannot form any complex systems taht may include moving parts or chemicals like guns or explosives.
Augustus is capable of concealing and carrying weapons inside of his body, such as guns. In order to form a weapon from a limb, Augustus must convert that particular section to a liquid state before reconfiguring it while keeping the rest of his body in a solid state. To do this, Augustus must be able to micro-manage his internal temperature at a molecular level.
Due to his liquid metal construction, Augustus is capable of extensive regeneration as long as his head is intact, but later in the future as he develops he will become able to regenerate from even a single cell. Ballistic penetration(such as bullets or ki blasts) can hydrostatically shock Augustus but only for a few seconds; he is able to measure the velocity and angle of each hit and open himself up slightly to cushion the shock-Augustus liquidises his molecular structure to allow projectiles to pass through.
Even seperating the "parts" of Augustus is not enough to stop him from regenerating as the individual pieces will seek each other other and reform to become Augustus once again. If a piece of the Mimetic Polyalloy is out of range from the main body of superfluid(Augustus), it will mimic something locally as camouflage (such as a rock or a piece of pipe) until Augustus comes back into range and detects him. As this trait is encoded at a very basic level, it is this emergency camouflage system that is normally exhibited when Augustus is critically damaged, showing itself as a bodily malfunction or "glitch". A damaged Augustus for example may begin to meld into floor coverings or other objects that he is in physical contact with, against his own will, due to his particles undergoing this form of self preservation.
Augustus is notoriously difficult to kill and very deadly with his abilities; this highly resilent mercury man is able to withstanda wide variety of temperatures ranging up to at least 300 degrees Celsius. Extremely low temperatures of about -196 degress Celsius(such as those produced by liquid nitrogen) can cause damage to the demi-saiyan however will not spot him. Temperatures in excess of 1535 degress Celsius, such as those needed to smelt iron, can physically alter the bonding and molecular structure of the Mimetic Polyalloy. The molten substance can then mix with the mercury of Augustus rendering him inoperative. Corrosives such as concentrated Sulfuric Acid can also damage Augustus.
