Line 17:
He is skilled in the use of handguns and high-powered rifles, using such a rifle to attempt to kill Mayor Mike Dunlap of Lawndale from long distance. Furthermore, Cypher is also skilled with a knife and his "intelligence" might be skilled in hand-to-hand combat, providing it is possessing a body.
In addition, Cypher carried a special handgun that fired plastic shells. The handgun's shells could not be blocked by Jane Lane's magnetic powers at the time; but recent education Jane Lane received at the [[United States Academy of Extranormal Studies]] might have provided Jane the ability to defend herself against such weapons in the future. During his planned incursion at the Cedars of Lawndale Hospital, he protected himself with plastic armor and an armored hat -- most likely to protect the integrity of his physical body rather than as a means of survival.
Cypher's real powers come from the Soul Crystal itself. The body the Crystal inhabits is invulnerable to such killing attacks as electrocution or even incineration -- Cypher is able to fight even when his body is reduced to a partially carbonized corpse in his first battle with the Legionnaires. Removing the Crystal from Cypher's form "de-animated" his physical body and ended the fight.
