Powers and Abilities
As a mummudrai, Ev Teel Urizen possesses significant telepathic and telekinetic abilities. It is able to possess anyone with a sentient mind (though things such as Cable's forcefield can stop it) and can exploit that individual's abilities (such as using Lady Mastermind's illusions or Mystique's morphing abilities). It can also reside dormant within a host's mind, though its ability to be detected is clear from Regan's own psychic abilities and Sabretooth's enhanced sense of smell. Also, like all other mummudrai, he can awaken/activate new or different mutations in mutants.
When mind-melded with Cable, Urizen's power (as a hybrid with Cable) is increased, giving them immense telekinesis (the ability to throw the Children of the Vault's The Conquistador, a UCC-Type Tanker and the ability to levitate the entire island of Providence). After they are separated in X-Men#199, Cable says that his telekinesis (for the most part, Cable still wields minor telekinesis due to the abilities granted to him by his techno-organic virus) and telepathy died with Urizen.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“Strange and predatory and truly dangerous, car thieves and muggers—they seem to jeopardize all our cherished concepts, even our self-esteem, our property rights, our powers of love, our laws and pleasures. The only relationship we seem to have with them is scorn or bewilderment, but they belong somewhere on the dark prairies of a country that is in the throes of self-discovery.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star. Genetic inheritance determines a child’s abilities and weaknesses. But those who raise a child call forth from that matrix the traits and talents they consider important.”
—Emilie Buchwald (20th century)
