Why is it masculine?

Poderes is masculine because it derives from the Latin noun "potentia" (power, ability), which was a feminine noun in Latin. However, in Spanish, words ending in -er that derive from Latin nouns typically became masculine nouns. "Poder" follows the regular phonetic evolution from Latin "potentia" and adopted masculine gender, likely due to the influence of the -er ending pattern in Spanish masculine nouns.
