Shan Yu

Shan Yu is one of the most ruthless and merciless villains ever seen in the Disney universe. He proves that no one is inferior to him by killing his enemies in cold blood to prove his strength. He is also shown to be ruthless, even towards defenseless individuals, as evidenced by his murderous grin when he suggests that he will "return" the doll to its owner, as well as it being implied that he killed the doll's owner, as well as her entire village. Shan Yu is also extremely confident, both about himself and his army's strength and superiority, often deliberately allowing his enemies the advantage in order to prove his strength. Cunning, violent, evil, mysterious, dark, and merciless.

Shan Yu is a hardened fighter and a lethal combatant, armed or otherwise, as shown where he overpowers Shang in a fight. He possesses superhuman strength (perhaps second only to Chien Po). He can effortlessly break down a door and simply slice a massive pillar into pieces with his sword. In addition to his strength, he also possesses a superhuman amount of stamina, having survived being buried in an avalanche for what is implied to have been hours with no apparent ill effects, something only 5 other Huns have managed to survive. He specializes in survival, being able to deduce that a doll delivered to him by his falcon came from a village in a nearby mountain pass, where Imperial armies awaited.
