Superhuman Powers
Omnilingual Translation: Cypher is a hyperlinguist and has a superhuman facility for translating languages, spoken or written and human or alien in origin. His superhuman skill also extends to his great facility in deciphering codes and computer languages as well as understanding hidden intentions and body language. Cypher's skills are such that he was once able to make great headway in translating the written language of an extraterrestrial race in a matter of minutes. His mutant talent for translating differs from the translating ability that a human who is a genius in the field, yet not a mutant, possesses, even though both people might achieve the same results with any given translation problem. Cypher's mutant talent is an intuitive one which works on a subconscious level, whereas others will have to work out a translation consciously, step-by-step. Rather than working the problem out step-by-step, in his conscious mind, Cypher subconsciously solves the problem. Hence, Cypher can reach the correct solution by means that appear to be leaps of logic, and he himself may not be consciously aware of the entire process by which he reaches the right answer.

His recent return from death has abnormally widened his perspective. Everything he sees is now interpreted into information, and everything is language to him now. He can read the information flow from technological components emitting such.
