Powers and Abilities
His powers are primarily derived from various mythic artifacts he believes were handed down to him by historic figures chronicled in the Torah.
He wears the ring of Solomon that gives him wisdom and allows him to teleport short distances, and the mantle of Elijah that protects him from harm. The Staff of Moses can extend to whatever length he needed, and can transform into a serpent and manipulate water. Additionally he sports long hair which he believes grants him super strength like Samson. He apparently can request spectacular miracles from "a higher power" as he needs them. For instance, in a Pre-Crisis adventure, he was battling villains who threatened to blow up a desalination plant while several children were being held hostage with the villains threatening to kill them. With no alternative, Seraph personally beseeched this higher power to temporarily stop the flow of time. Although the villains shot at their hostages, the request was granted and all time stopped except for Seraph who disarmed the bomb and covered the children with his cloak to protect them from the weapons fire before allowing time to resume and defeat his enemies.
