With the cerebral ability to understand all languages, Doug Ramsey a.k.a. Cypher was considered to be one of the weakest New Mutants. Since then, however, Cypher has honed his powers to a previously unknown extent and has become a powerful strategist for the team. He's also best friends with the Technarch known as Warlock.

History

Powers

 * Omnilingual Translation: Cypher is a hyperlinguist, and has a superhuman facility for translating any languages, 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, 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 instead 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 have been consciously aware of the entire process by which he reaches the right answer. He can even read the information flow from technological components emitting such.
