Abilities

Jake's Stretchy Powers enable him to modify the size, shape, and dimensions of every part of his body. Not only can he stretch and contort himself into highly specific forms, but he can also rearrange his internal organs, and teeth.

Although he lacks the zeal for fighting that Finn possesses, Jake is a capable fighter. What he lacks in Finn's talent for swordsmanship, he makes up for in toughness and magical brawn. He is a capable hand to hand fighter, and can transform his limbs into weapons. He can also stretch to entangle enemies, or grow to gain a height and weight advantage. His shapeshifting can grant him supernatural strength, and he can simply overpower many enemies. However, he often leaves the brawling to Finn. His laziness often hinders his effectiveness, but he has outright stated that he's multiple times stronger than Finn, which isn't a far-fetched estimate due to his powers.

Hobbies and Skills

Described as "the musical one" by Finn, Jake is shown to be a talented musician, being able to play the viola, electric guitar, ukelele, and many other instruments. He gets annoyed or even angered when Finn or someone else plays his viola badly.

Jake can also speak Korean, which he uses to communicate with Lady Rainicorn, his partner. In "Her Parents," he writes a note to Lady's mother and father using Hangul, the Korean writing system, and greets them speaking the formal Korean language.
