Nemesis

As Nemesis, he is able to demolish the AoA X-Men headquarters, killing several members. He is then able to fight off both AoA Rogue and Scarlet Witch :

Killing AoA Wanda :

For comparison, Holocaust in energy form and with armour, produces similarly large blasts :

Powers

Travel

Holocaust is able to fly, here using his blaster to propel him :

http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3236/exiles0602005puardcp14.jpg

Or here, seemingly without needing his blaster at all :

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/6296/xman01722.jpg

Holocaust can also travel quickly underground :

Durability

When being taken out by the Avengers, it takes several shots from Thor with Mjolnir, Iron Man and Scarlet Witch to put Holocaust down :

Here takes a bath in a vat of acid, has his brain activity reversed by AoA Rogue (with Polaris' powers), is crushed by Morph and still able to fight against the AoA X-Men :

http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/7015/astonishingxmen041995pu.jpg

Senses

Holocaust is able to sense energy patterns, such as here where he detects the M'Kraan crystal :

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7450/exiles0602005puardcp15.jpg

Shapeshifting

With modifications he received from Dark Beast, Holocaust is able to manipulate the physical form of his suit :

http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/5347/xmanannual199731.jpg

He does this to return to his Nemesis form :

http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8712/xmanannual199730.jpg

He can extend his body :

http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/8295/xma43p08.jpg

Or copy the form of others :

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/9962/xma43p22.jpg

Attacks

Blasts

Holocaust's attacks are devastatingly powerful :

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/4344/xma44p14.jpg

So much so that it is assumed he can take down both Sunspot and Caliban, off panel, essentially with OHKOs :

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/9824/xforce49p10.jpg
http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2338/xforce49p11.jpg

Here, according to the announcer, he is strong enough to put Thor down, if only momentarily :

http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/5741/avengersv140211.jpg
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8494/avengersv140212.jpg

And again, Holocaust able to take down Thor with his blast :

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/4990/avengersv140214.jpg

Here Holocaust one-shots Blastaar :

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6215/blink012001puardcp2021.jpg

Reflexes

Holocaust has very fast reflexes, so much so that Sebastian Shaw makes note of it here :

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/1085/xforce49p04.jpg

He is considerably faster than Mimic :

http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/9449/exiles0612005puardcp05.jpg

He is fast enough to keep up with Blink for some time :

http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/7015/astonishingxmen041995pu.jpg
http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/7015/astonishingxmen041995pu.jpg
http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/7015/astonishingxmen041995pu.jpg

Holocaust is fast enough to catch Quicksilver and tag Iron Man :

http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1072/avengersv140215.jpg

Energy Drain

Holocaust is able to drain the energy of people even just in his proximity :

http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/6522/exiles0602005puardcp19.jpg

There is no known upper limit to his ability to drain, here he decimates the population of an island, absorbing all of their energy :

http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/3659/xforce48p13.jpg

Super Strength

While not possessing any lifting feats, as noted above, Holocaust has enhanced strength, such that he is able to send opponents flying with a single punch :

http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/9449/exiles0612005puardcp05.jpg

Here Holocaust crushes Morph's body to mush :

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/384/exiles0612005puardcp06.jpg

Holocaust is also able to grapple with characters like Blastaar :

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6215/blink012001puardcp2021.jpg

Even though he eventually loses the fight, Holocaust is strong enough to get some good blows in on King Hyperion :

Fights

VS AoA Sabretooth and Wildchild

We see here that, even when the armour is broken, Holocaust has full control of the energy of his body, able to reform himself effortlessly after a long fight :

http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1364/astonishingxmen021995pu.jpg

VS Exodus

Holocaust overpowers Exodus in terms of raw power output, something Sersi has failed to do :

VS X-Man & Madelyne Pryor

Forces the to retreat, in the end it takes their combined effort and some trickery to bring down Holocaust :

VS X-Man

Round 1: in AoA timeline, only ends because the M'Kraan crystal teleports the two away :
