(True Kinda Love - Estelle & Zach Callison)
Adam: The Diamond Authority was an alien superpower set on conquering the universe for their own gain.
Randy: They're literally diamonds. Like, shiny alien rock people.
Adam: As the most powerful of the Gems, the Diamonds led armies of lesser Gems, including Pearls, Amethysts, and others to prepare planets for destruction by the authority. These armies were trusted to obey. But they had one tough adversary: Rose Quartz. She'd been living on Earth and really liked the place, so she was leading her own group of Gems in rebellion: the Crystal Gems.
Randy: To which the three Diamonds of the authority responded by trying to destroy every Gem left on Earth. Which, uh, sounds like overkill. But in a huge blast of light, every Gem was corrupted or destroyed, except for Rose and her closest Gems, a Garnet and Pearl. She'd managed to defend them all with her shield.
Adam: Well, now with the Diamonds rebuffed, Rose was able to settle down, and she even met a human she got along with: Greg Universe.
Randy: What a badass, I wish my last name was Universe. They got along so well, that one thing led to another, and uh, whoops! Rose had to give up her body so their son could be born.

Randy: Since Rose gave up her body to give birth to Steven, he technically has all of her powers and abilities. He's way more tougher than your average kid. He can create bubbles to either act as a shield, which is his bread and butter, or into boxing gloves. He can teleport things, shapeshift into get bigger, resurrect dead people with his tears or even heal people with his saliva. Hope he doesn't have any bacteria. Speaking of, He can also transform plants with his saliva life and a humanoid form, like with watermelon seeds.
Adam: He can also make an astral projection if he's knocked out and possess people in their sleep. But after discovering his mother's true identity of being Pink Diamond, Steven taps into her Diamond abilities. In which he taps into Pink's Diamond powers with Pink State, where his bubbles and shields become hexagonal in shape, able to fly and slow down time to a near crawl.
Randy: The catch, however, is that Steven loses control over his emotions. And if Steven gets an emotional breakdown, he becomes a giant pink monster that amps all of his abilities up to eleven.
Feats
Overpowered and pacified the Cluster
Shield can block attack from 3 Diamonds
Dodged light-based attacks
Survived the G-forces of FTL travel
Fights on par with Garnet & Amethyst
Led Homeworld in Era 3
Defeated Amethyst, Spinel, Bluebird, Jasper
Adam: Steven has taken some gem invaders under the Diamond Authority's army to conquer Earth in his mother's legacy. He's withstand the G-Force during interstellar travel, dodged lightspeed attacks, able to fight on par with the likes of Amethyst and Garnet, and used his telekinesis to pacify the Cluster, which is capable of destroying Earth once it grows big enough.
Randy: And he's battled powerful Gems like Peridot, Lapis, Spinel and Jasper. Lapis once lifted the entire Ocean into the atmosphere and even killed Jasper in his Pink State. And he can take hits from the Diamonds like White and Yellow. In fact, we can scale Steven to Rose Quartz, erm, Pink Diamond blocking that blast from the three Diamonds in Homeworld, which is from another galaxy. From the distance of Homeworld to Earth and the energy needed to fire that blast, that's over 48 trillion times FTL and an output of 2 Tenatons of TNT.
Adam: And Steven managed to block that same attack in his Pink State, which he also killed Jasper with though he was horrified. When Steven turned into that giant monster, he was powerful enough to overpower the Crystal Gems, Lapis, Peridot, Bismuth and even the three Diamonds and the Cluster, only being stopped by the good old "power of friendship".
Weaknesses
In the early seasons, Steven had little control over his powers, which resulted in them working with unexpected results (Such as almost ageing himself to death and turning himself into an out of control cat monster on accident) or not working at all. However, this becomes much less of an issue in Seasons 2-3 and is nonexistent from Season 4 onwards.
Is a pacifist, prefers to avoid combat unless necessary
Has yet to master Pink State form
Loses control of his emotions upon becoming Pink Steven. Can turn into a giant monster upon having a mental breakdown
Like all Gems, striking Steven's Gem can permanently kill him
If Steven's gem is removed, he will slowly die unless he comes into contact with it again.
If Steven goes into other people's dreams too much he gets sleep deprived.
Adam: That being said, Steven is far from perfect. He's a pacifist above all else, preferring to solve things with Talk no Jutsu and power of friendship over violence unless absolutely necessary and he has trouble controlling his powers early on with near fatal consequences, like when he nearly aged himself to death since he's only half Gem. Speaking of which, Steven can also die if his Gem is shattered or if separated from it for too long.
Randy: And we've stated before that Pink State is a double-edge sword, for while Steven's abilities get stronger, he loses control over his emotions and is easily triggered. In fact, Steven becoming that giant monster is a result of him suffering a full-on meltdown.
Adam: Of course, if it was up to Steven Universe, everyone would just be friends.
Steven: I changed. That's the final piece. All those struggles, I learned from them, and I grew! Oh my gosh! It's not just my Gem powers I've forgotten! All this "happily ever after" stuff has made me forget the first power I ever had: The power to change!
