## **Powers, Abilities, & Weaknesses**

### Powers

* **Enhanced Physical Condition:** Wilson's self-healing, agility, speed, durability, senses, stamina, and strength are all enhanced far past the normal human.
* **Intuitive Polygraphy:** Wilson has the unique power to sense when an individual is lying to him.

### Abilities

* **Eidetic Memory:** Wilson has a near-perfect memory as he remembered details regarding former members of the Blackjack Bandits with ease, protecting him from an even-worse betrayal.
* **High-level Intellect:** Wilson's high-level intellect allowed him to maximize the use of his Intuitive Polygraphy.
* **Master Tactician/Leader:** Slade's leadership and tactics can be contributed to how he led the Blackjack Bandits for several years, successfully raiding several high-profile financial institutions and even the assassination of President Chester Arthur.

* **Indomitable Will/High Pain Tolerance/Master Survivor:** Wilson's ability to survive was ultimately tested when he managed to murder his assailant although being severally wounded and left for dead before.

* **Stealth/Infiltration:** As the leader of the Blackjack Bandits, stealth was one of the most important tools.

* **Master Combatant/Martial Artist:** During his lifetime, Wilson racked up quite a body count, including some of the most powerful mutants of his time.
	+ **Military Training:** As a former union soldier, Wilson's military training came quite in handy as he avoided and sometimes countered military detachments during his criminal career.
	+ **Master Swordsman:** Wilson's primary weapon was his dual swords, which he prefers for combat. He has countered countless enemies with these weapons, preferring them over firearms in most situations.
	+ **Master Marksman:** Wilson's ability as a marksman was notable, although his preference for swords severely limited his ability to practice his marksmanship.

### Weaknesses
