The storyline of “Attack on Titan” is so compelling and gripping that you can’t help but follow every minute and second of it.
This plot is just as interesting as its characters. As you may well know, among these characters are the Nine Titans.
The Nine Titans, as the name suggests, were nine Titan superpowers who had been passed down through the Eldian people for nearly two millennia following the death of Ymir Fritz until the passing away of Eren Yeager.
These nine Titan powers were the Founding Titan, the Armored Titan, the Attack Titan, the Beast Titan, the Cart Titan, the Colossus Titan, the Female Titan, the Jaw Titan, and the War Hammer Titan.
You know them very well if you are an avid viewer of the anime, but perhaps only some of you know that these Titans had powers passed on to certain characters in the anime. We’ll explore this in this article, beginning with the Founding Titan.
1. Founding Titan
The Founding Titan – also known as the Progenitor Titan – aside from being one of the Nine Titans, is the first of all Titans. Its “Scream” has the ability to create and control other Titans, as well as alter the memories and body compositions of the Eldians.
Furthermore, the Founding Titan was that point where the paths connecting the Eldians and the Titans crossed. Due to this, those from Marley sometimes call the Founding Titan the “Coordinate.”

2. Armored Titan
On the other hand, the Armored Titan was one of the Nine Titans who possessed armored skin plates throughout their body. This armor can shield it from significant amounts of damage, as well as protect it from a direct hit from a cannon, break ultrahard steel blades, and withstand the explosive transformation of the Colossus Titan.

3. Attack Titan
Next is the Attack Titan. Aside from being among the Nine Titans, the Attack Titan was capable of seeing through the memories of its past and future holders, described by Zeke Yeager as “the power to transcend time.” It is said that it also fought for freedom throughout the course of several generations.

4. Beast Titan
Following the Attack Titan is the Beast Titan. It was slightly bigger than the size of most Titans and exhibited an animal-like appearance. Some of the different animal appearances shown by prior holders of this Titan included birds, crocodiles, elk, monkeys, and wolves, among many others.

5. Cart Titan
Meanwhile, the Cart Titan is one of the Nine Titans with a quadrupedal form possessing extremely devastating speed and endurance. Thus, it had a level of endurance greater than that of the rest of the Titans, allowing the heirs of its power to embark on long missions without the need for rest. However, the Cart Titan, interestingly, is considered the weakest of the bunch.

6. Colossus Titan
As one of the Nine Titans, the Colossus Titan was an early main antagonist in the show. It was notable for its massive size and its power to control both the steam its Titan body emits and the amount of energy it releases during its transformations.

7. Female Titan
Some women power all the way here. The Female Titan, meanwhile, was among the Nine Titans who possessed the power to mimic the characteristics and attributes of the other Titans easily.
Also, it could selectively harden portions of its skin and attract Pure Titans using its screams, possibly because of its aforementioned mimicry capability.

8. Jaw Titan
The Jaw Titan wasn’t named such for nothing. It was one of the Nine Titans characterized by a ferociously powerful set of jaws and claws that can tear through almost anything. It may be smaller compared to the other Titans, but this size gave way for it to become the fastest out of the Nine Titans. Aside from speed and crushing strength, it was known for its agility.

9. War Hammer Titan
Last but not least is the War Hammer Titan. Its primary power was creating structures out of hardened Titan flesh. The structures could also be weaponized.
Notably, this Titan could create pikes huge enough to impale and lift another Titan, flood areas with protrusions like spikes, manifest a signature war hammer, and create serrated and bladed weapons, such as battle axes, broadswords, and sickles.
