For I know what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
1. A network of agents, those he has saved and those who owe him favors. They do not know who they are themselves, but they serve the Shadow.
2. Complete control of his vocal chords; the ability to mimic any voice perfectly, and to throw his voice whereever he might actually be. He has perfected a chilling laugh to strike fear and paralyze his enemies.
3. Master of Disguise. Has fooled Batman on at least two occasions.
4. A master of stealth and espionage. He worked undercover in World War I under the name "Dark Eagle"
5. Longevity. The Shadow may yet be immortal. Or perhaps his time is not yet up...
6. The ability to cloud men's minds, or to hypnotize them. He cannot fool many at one time, nor, if one is sufficiently trained.
7. The Girasol Gem, worn upon a ring. The dead have no secrets from the Shadow.
8. Expert Marksman, with 2 Colt M1911 Pistols.
