<P> Frieza is capable of moving at superhuman speeds, flying, and has quick reflexes . Like most characters in the series, he can harness a supernatural energy known as Ki and manipulate it into powerful and devastating concussive beams of said energy, with which he is able to destroy planets with relative ease . Some of Frieza's signature ki techniques include the Death Beam (デスビーム, Desu Bīmu), a sharp piercing beam from his finger, and the Death Ball (デスボール, Desu Bōru), a large energy sphere he used to destroy planet Namek . He is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space, and also seems to possess some form of telekinesis, being able to lift opponents without touching them and cause them to explode . </P> <P> Frieza's power was so great over time, that his body could not comfortably contain it and a series of physical transformations were developed that limit his actual strength . While changing shape from his "first - form", each alteration builds on the previous . In all, Frieza has three transformed states, each with increasing power, some larger than others and each resulting in different physical attributes, although the two transformed states (along with his first form) were merely to suppress Frieza's power, and that his third transformed state is actually his true form, while a fourth further transformation that he discovered after his four months of training actually increases his power drastically and lets out most of his latent strength . </P> <Dl> <Dt> First form </Dt> </Dl> <P> In his weakest form, Frieza is a relatively short humanoid with a large chestnut - shaped skull and two horns . He also has a tail with a spiked end, as well as having three talon - like toes . Frieza wears the same upper - body armor and shorts that many of his subordinates are shown to wear, and while traveling, often gives the appearance of weakness by exclusively using his hoverchair for transportation, leaving his henchmen to do his "dirty work". Though frail in comparison with his succeeding forms, Frieza still boasts sufficient force to destroy planets . While shifting to his next stage, Frieza breaks his battle - jacket, revealing a natural white armor covering his chest and shoulders . </P>
