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:
“Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
