* **Genius-Level Intelligence:** James Triden is extremely intelligent, by far one of the most intelligent humans in the world, with his tremendous eclectic intellect nearly unrivaled, which makes the virtually peerless malevolent genius a worthy opponent.
	+ **Expert Tactician:** James Triden is an incredibly formidable tactical genius, to the point that he claims not to know how to lose. Given his lack of superpowers, he, much like Blue Hawk, often uses cunning and planning to successfully outwit stronger and more powerful foes, rather than simply out-fighting them, often using any of their exploitable weaknesses to his advantage, though James's approach is more effective, intricate, complex, and far more ruthless than Blue Hawk's, with James often having back-up plans to his back-up plans.
	+ **Expert Deceiver:** James Triden is extremely skilled in deception (at least on par with Blue Hawk himself in that regard), as he was notably able to successfully hide his internal ruthless malevolence under a kindly and altruistic façade.
	+ **Expert Demagogue**: James Triden is a superbly skilled demagogue, as his intention is to come off as an altruistic man of and for the people so he therefore masterfully appeals to popular desires and prejudices when addressing people, often championing the cause of the common (non-Deviant) people, with his usage of seemingly rational arguments making James's method even more effective.

James, however, usually compensates for this quite well with his tremendous super genius intellect.

- **Arrogance:** James Triden's other main weakness is his overconfidence and arrogance, with him even going so far as to claim that he doesn't know how to lose. However, this weakness is not very significant, as James's tremendous intellect allows him to very effectively compensate for this at almost all times.
