Velsing is an above-average athlete and possesses a fair knowledge of hand-to-hand combat. He is also a brilliant, dedicated engineer and scientist.

Dreadknight's major offensive weapon is his power-lance, with has been modified with a variety of devices. Among these are electromagnetic alpha-beams (capable of smashing through a foot-thick cinderblock wall). Finger-studs on the lance's hilt control the power of the beams. The lance also contains two spools of conductive steel cable, fifty feet each in length. A linear accelerator (magnetic cannon) fires the cables through the central shaft of the lance, and the weighted ends wrap around the target like a bolo. By pressing a stud on the lance's hilt, an electrical charge with a maximum strength of 65,000 volts (enough to kill a small elephant) is discharged through the cable. The lance's third and final offensive capability are its "penetro-shell" missile launchers, which fires four three-inch projectiles from the hilt of the lance, each capable of exploding with a force of five pounds of TNT. As a secondary weapon, Dreadknight carries a carbon dioxide pistol that fires a highly-concentrated nerve gas, capable of rendering an average human being unconscious within two seconds. A sufficient dosage could kill a person (through paralysis of the respiratory system). The pistol's magazine contains four gas capsules, and when the trigger is squeezed, a capsule is positioned so that it can be expelled by a high-pressure jet of carbon dioxide gas. The pistol has a maximum range of five feet.

Dreadknight wears a full-body suit of electrically-insulated steel-alloy chain mail that protects him from gunfire (up to a .45 caliber bullet). His mask is "bio-fused" (micro-surgically attached) to his face and cannot be removed. Dreadknight rides a black, bat-winged steed he calls Hellhorse. The horse has great strength and is able to fly at a top speed of fifty miles per hour, but after an hour of flying it must rest.
