==Powers and Abilities==
Omnilingual Translation: Cypher is a hyper-linguist and as a superhuman facility for translating any language, spoken or written, 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. Cypher's mutant talent for translating differs from the translating ability that a human who is a genius in this 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 and which may, in part, be related to telepathy. A non-mutant human, even a genius, 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 instead subconsciously solves the problem. Hence, Cypher can reach the correct solution by means that appear to be leaps of logic, and he himsel fmay not have been 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; everything is language to him now. He can read the information flow from technological components emitting such.
