Abilities
Silver Dagger is well-versed in Christian theology, the Vatican library's Black Arts holdings and eldritch demon lore, enabling him to employ Fangs of Farallah, assume the strength of Satannish, grow in size, mystically mesmerize, pierce mystic disguises and perform other lower level spells. He briefly controlled Doctor Strange's Eye of Agamotto and later used Strange's amulet to fire silver beams of mystical force. He has since renounced magic as "Satanic."

Weapons
Dagger carriers silver daggers, dipped in holy water, which he throws with great accuracy. When fighting the Werewolf, he covered his costume in silver as well. A charismatic leader and persuasive speaker, Dagger commands the Sword of the Lord, Commandos who use silver bullet-firing automatic weapons and sophisticated communication devices for stealth combat.
