Note: This goes over a Composite Lupin III, including the original manga, every Lupin III series, and his crossover with Detective Conan, but not his Puyo Puyo cameo.

Powers & Abilities

• Agility & Athleticism: Is very agile, can jump off of a motorcycle, over a van, than land back onto said motorcycle. Can jump from building to building. Jumped from a castle to a far off tower (well... via... with a running start... but still). Jumped off of a moving motor bike, and grabbed onto a plane up in the air. Traveled through a room filled with needle-like lasers, that would instantly fire once detecting movement, Lupin was able to dodge basically all of them, except for when he was briefly distracted by a cane, but don't worry, he still dodged the rest and made the landing successfully.
• Fighting Skills: For fighting skill, Lupin is great at hand-to-hand combat, he was able to disarm Fugiko without his head, he can take on armies of strong soldiers with no weapons of his own, and he's even taken on police men with nothing but a fish. Plus, he's capable of fighting on par with Goemon, who even considers Lupin as one of the deadliest fighters on earth, though he did lose to Goemon once he brought out his sword.
• Swordsmanship: Lupin is a very talented swordsman, while nowhere near Goemon's level, Lupin was still able to duel off Count Cagliostro in a sword battle evenly, even when being flung around by gears in the like. Lupin's even managed to cut doors in half with swords before.
• Brain Manipulation: Lupin has one curious skill, he can literally shut his brain off and become reallu stupid if he has too. Don't worry, if he eats fish, he'll become smarter again. How this would be useful in a fight is beyond me.
• Disguise Abilities & Vocal Mimicry: Lupin has great disguising abilities and is excellent at mimicing voices, which is perfect, even if he's only heard the person once.
• Magic: He's also skilled in magic, he can shoot flames out of his finger and stand on thin air. Although these are cases of trickery as opposed to actual magic. The finger flames are a concealed flamethrower, and the walking on thin air is a clever usage of glass panes.
• Vehicle Proficiency: Lupin is also very proficient with vehicles, showing enough skill to pull off nearly impossible tricks with his car, and has gotten the hang of new vehicle types in mere seconds. He's escaped from police forces, skilled snipers, and even Conan Edogawa who was chasing him on a skateboard.
• Skilled Marksman: Lupin is also very proficient with guns, able to hit extremely small and far away targets, he can disarm while midair, and has shot people without even looking.
• Enhanced Hearing and Smelling: Lupin has enhanced hearing and smelling, able to hear a ticking that no one else could. And somehow smells Zenigata.
• Genius Intelligence: In terms of brains, Lupin is a genius, that much as been made clear over the course of the series, consistently manipulating situations to go his way, he managed to escape a prison that claimed to be the most escape-proof prison in all of Brazil, and Execution Island, a place that no one had ever escape from. Lupin was even able to figure out the magician Pikul's magic tricks after escaping him, and was able to recrete them himself to get one over on the guy (resulting in his great great return where he was the villain of the absolute worst Lupin III movie... what a great way to celebrate the series 30th Anniversary).
• Master Technologist: Lupin is a master at technology, he was able to make a better version of someone's gadget without even seeing it, he outsmarted Mri, who created functioning robots to steal for her and 'Lupin', he opened a safe that could only be opened if your intelligence level was 0 by eating fist to the point of becoming too smart for the machine to handle, also Lupin once spent an entire year in prison claiming he wasn't Lupin, then at the last minute, switch places with the security guard minutes before his own execution, walking out, while the guard taking his place was dragged out to the electric chair yelling out that he wasn't Lupin.
• Strategist: Lupin carefully plans things out, via, while having a little fun while pulling off a heist.

Equipment

• Walter P38: Lupin most commonly wields his trusty Walter P38 pistol, which his prefered firearm of choice, he's wielded other guns in the past, but this is the once he'll pick if he ha the choice.
• Watch: On his wrist is his watch, which also doubles as a grappling hook.
• Grappling Hook: He's also been seen using a regular grappling hook, which can hold multiple people simultaneously.
• Pocket Knife: He has a pocket knife, which he can throw with great proficiency.
• Car: Lupin's iconic vehicle of choice may not seem like much on the outside, but it's actually very capable at performing feats that would be impossible for an average car. It's driven through gunshots and grenade explosions and somehow, everytime it gets destroyed, it'll return in working condition, it can leap from building to building, drive up walls, has a button which can send a person in the passanger seat out of passenger side door, and possibly even fly into space and comes equipped with parachutes for when it comes falling back down, it also has robot hands for equipping cameras onto satellites so he can spy on people from space... okay... probably not really... it's just in the intro of Part 5. But atleast this car inspired a little character in the Pixar film Cars so it's definitly iconic.
• Explosives: Lupin's specialty
  • Flashbangs Grenades
  • Fireworks
  • Bombs
    • Can detonate explosive from afar, and even ones strong enough to destroy a blimp.
• Sunglasses: Has sunglasses to protect his eyes from his flashbang grenades.
• High-Tech Glasses: Lupin has a pair of high-tech glasses, which come equipped with telescopic lenses.
• Monocle: Lupin has a monocle that works similarly to his high-tech glasses, and even allows him to hack into security systems.
• Sleeping Spray
• Balloons: Has many balloons he can use to fly, one of them which is strong enough to lift the statue of liberty.
• Extending Baton: Lupin has an extending baton that he can take from his sleeve.
• Taser: Has a taser that looks like a box of cigarettes.
• Nose-Plugs: He has nose-plugs to stop himself from breathing in gases.
• Explosive Dummy of Himself
• Robotic Version of Himself: Used for tricking his foes, similary to his explosive dummy but this one does nothing.
• Shocky-Shock Stickers: He has shocky-shock stickers which can electricute anyone who they're placed on.
• Hypnotizing Watch: Lupin can use his hypnotizing watch to make people think there someone else, he even fooled someone into thinking they were Lupin himself with his method.
• Masks: In order for that trick to work, he used one of his many Lupin masks, on some occasions he's placed them on everyone he sees to confuse the police, not even dogs are safe.

Weaknesses

• Cocky
• Carefree
• A charmer
• Despite his impressive feats, is still just a human.
• Typically won't kill unless his or a loved one's life is threatened.
• A little too overconfident.
• At times, will be caught off-guard if he has no information or is not fully prepared for a fight.
• He can easily get distracted by woman, and will do a lot if a pretty girl tells him to.
• He can also be quite scatterbrain and sloppy if things don't go according to plan, or if he doesn't have Jigen and Goemon around to help him.
• Lupin often takes pretty huge risks, which tend to get him in more trouble than it's worth, which is why he's actually been arrested a shocking amount of times.
• His disguises, while often impressive, aren't flawless, and he also isn't perfect when it comes to mimicing a person's mannerism's exactly, in fact, he even disguised as Kaitou Kid once and used a gun, which immediatly clued people into the fact that he wasn't Kaitou.
