He takes that pill.... its on wiki
"....Unlike Superman, Underdog's super powers are not a natural part of his physical makeup. When he is not Underdog, he is incognito as a shoeshine boy and hurriedly dresses in a phone booth like Superman when trouble calls; he must take an "Underdog Super Energy Vitamin Pill" to ignite his powers (like Hourman or TV's Mister Terrific). He keeps one of these pills inside a special ring he wears at all times. Several episodes show Underdog losing the ring and being powerless, since he must take another pill as his super powers begin to fail. When the series was syndicated in the 1980s and 1990s, the scenes of him taking his energy pill were edited out. Animation fans lambast this as a form of political correctness, as they believe the scenes were removed in order to prevent any glorification of drug use...."

Good Question, I don't think it was ever explained. A lot of people seem to think it was the pill in his ring. The pill definitely augmented his powers, especially after he started to get run down, but I don't recall them being the source of his powers. Nobody ever saw him pop a pill in the phone booth. Now I'm going to have to find out.
