Powers;
Much of his body has been replaced by artificial materials, granting him superhuman physical abilities. His abilities vary over time as his components wear out and are replaced. His artificial left eye grants him telescopic, microscopic and infrared vision. An internal thermo-nuclear generator powers him and his mind was computer-augmented (except his later incarnations), granting him advanced scanning capacity, enhanced physical and mental skills and an extensive information database. The computer acted as a second personality, which he spoke with and issued orders, usually antagonistically. He formerly had a third personality (a seeming manifestation of his id) speaking in stream-of-consciousness ramblings, but this was found to be a tracker implanted by Simon Ryker and it was neutralized. He still requires oxygen, foodstuffs and periodic sleep. His body produces waste products, though he lacks both the equipment and fuel for reproduction. Some incarnations had boot jets enabling flight and/or modular limbs.

Deathlok is a gifted intellect, brilliant military strategist and formidable hand-to-hand combatant, all of which was augmented by his computer.
Weapons;
powerful helium-neon laser pistol, a 9” throwing dagger that can be magnetized to his leg and variety of bladed, ballistic or energy-discharging weapons that he could attach to his modular limbs.
Paraphernalia;Deathlok has worn a woven metal-mesh costume that has several weapon slots. He carried one of Godwulf’s Time Gauntlets, enabling time travel.
