No but really, his powers are based around energy manipulation, which is FMA-speak for "he's capable of making literally everything he touches explode and creating shockwaves through the air that explode on contact." Of course, his reflexes are also shot to hell so he's wicked slow in physical fights, and he's only used his powers at all for about six months out of the last eight years total (seven years in prison + year in Johto, with those six months between his release and his death); he normally...wouldn't be at the peak of his power with all that going on, but he has two Philosopher's Stones on his person.
With only one of them, he's capable of, uh. That. That is him at the bottom of the panel, in all his shirtless 5'10" glory. He doesn't use it often, though, it's - ...you know, my friend and I actually sat down and worked out that FMA could actually be AUed into Fate/ frighteningly easily. The closest way I can describe it is to consider Kimblee Berserker-class (complete with Mad Enhancement because he has a tendency to lose it on the battlefield, which just kind of kills his restraint and...leads to destruction along the lines of the abovementioned image), what with the Philosopher's Stone being the Noble Phantasm and the personal skill being akin to Battle Continuation (he has a ridiculous capability to live through things and just not die until he is good and ready to die, thank you very much). It's pretty much the best way I can think of to describe it. But yeah, he's...actually alarmingly powerful, his abilities are incredibly broken for FMA and he's primarily hindered by his lack of speed/reflexes, otherwise...yeah.
