According to the Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe, "Pluto possesses the conventional attributes of the Olympian gods including superhuman strength (class 70), longevity, durability, and ability to recover from wounds. He has referred to his godly powers as his Eterna-Power. He is immortal and has lived for thousands of years. Pluto possesses the ability of inter-dimensional and time-travel. He can drain other’s strength with a touch, create illusions, alter the memories of mortals, sheathe himself in mystical flame and fire projectiles of flame, fire force bolts and create force fields, create an impenetrable time funnel, hold others captive by slowing their body's vibrations, and manipulate energy. Pluto has purported that his powers are at their peak when he is in his realm. Pluto has worn a helmet of invisibility and has wielded more than one seemingly indestructible battleaxe (composed of Adamantine). Pluto could view across time and space using his Eterna-Screen, and hold others immobile with Attracto-spheres. He has the command of a vast army, including Centaurs, Harpies, giants, Cyclopes, Yellow-Crested Titans, armored warriors, and cosmic cannons. He has command over the souls sent to his realm. Pluto has employed armed zombie gangsters. He once turned Wolverine back from stone form into flesh. With a snap of his fingers, he returned a group of revived monsters and myths to death. However, Pluto is bound by the various edicts given by Zeus, which have included the inability to succeed rule of Hades to someone else, inability to seek out other realms to conquer, and inability to leave Hades at all. It is likely that Pluto possesses many other abilities not yet revealed.

The land of Hades itself is a pocket dimension where the souls of gods and worshippers go after death, though it does have several residents as well, including Cyclopes, centaurs, Yellow-Crested Titans, harpies, demon bats, snake-women, the ferryman Charon, Cerberus, and others. Hades is made up of several rivers including the Styx (which contains deadly creatures), Acheron, Cocytus, Aornis, Phlegethron (which is generally aflame), and Lethe (which induces memory loss). Pluto and Persephone share a large palace in Hades. The most wicked souls were sent for torture in Tartarus while the purest souls were sent on to peaceful Elysius. The Pathway to Infinity connects Hades to Olympia, and Hades contains other portals to Earth and other dimensions. It has been purported that any soul that remains in Hades becomes demonic and monstrous, completely subject to Pluto's whims.
Pluto recently claimed to have the ability to foretell the death of an individual."
