Line 94:

*He is totally invulnerable to the effects of heat, fire and radiation.

*he can exert total control over 'dark'-affiliated creatures and make them follow his bidding without hesitation.

*his claws and fangs are capable of wounding any mythical or supernatural creature, regardless of power level or origin. '''This is an ability unique to Kyle alone. No other Nightbreed possesses this ability.'''

*his claws and fangs are capable of wounding any mythical or supernatural creature, regardless of power level or origin. He has been shown to even damage the forcefields generated by [[Defender Ring]]s while in this state. '''This is an ability unique to Kyle alone. No other Nightbreed possesses this ability.'''

When boosting his power levels, Kyle's facial features contort to resemble that of a traditional 'vampire'; his eyes take on a totally black appearance, his fangs and claws are fully extended, and he is far more vicious and unrestrained in the use of his powers. He is also effectively invulnerable to any mental-based powers and forms of mind control.

*On a POGO operation during the Persian Gulf War (officially known as ''Operation Desert Storm''), Kyle acted to save the lives of hundreds of coalition servicemen by single-handedly destroying six enemy helicopters that had ambushed a troop convoy and destroyed their armored escort. He did this by engaging the hostiles from his exposed recon blind with a bolt-action [http://www.biggerhammer.net/barrett/ .50 caliber sniper rifle] even after coming under heavy chain-gun and rocket fire. Due to internal politics instigated by General [[Robert Bakeson]], Kyle was awarded the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Cross Navy Cross] instead of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor Medal of Honor]; in response, the British Monarch appointed him an Honorary Knight Commander of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Victorian_Order Royal Victorian Order], as two-thirds of the men saved by Kyle’s action were [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Royal_Marine_Commandos Royal Marines].

*While recruiting for DELPHI as a member of ''Project Socrates'', Kyle had a 96% retention rate – the highest of any recruitment officer. Only three of his recruits left the program, and only one of those because they didn’t want to be involved with the program. Kyle is well-known throughout DELPHI as being unflinchingly loyal to his recruits.

*Because he refused to use any methods necessary to keep Trent Lane in the POGO Program, Kyle was court-martialed, 'allowed a voluntary reduction in rank' from full Colonel to Major, forfeited twelve months pay and was transferred to an Arctic Circle listening post for two years. Had he successfully recruited Lane, Kyle would have been promoted to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadier_General_%28United_States%29 Brigadier General] and was the front-runner to become the Chairman of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Defense Department of Defense]’s Special Assignments Oversight Committee, which controls the POGO Program (and other military-oriented metahuman projects).
