    Cypher

    Character » Cypher appears in 1421 issues.

    With the cerebral ability to understand all languages, Cypher was considered to be one of the weakest New Mutants. He was best friends with Warlock, but was killed while defending Wolfsbane in battle. He was forcibly resurrected during Necrosha, and soon returned to the X-Men as a powerful strategist.

    I was wondering if he ever learned any spells? I think he has the right ability for it. He should easily be able to understand all the incantations by reading
    books on sorcery or watching the  movements of magic users.

    Nope.  When the New Mutants were stranded in Asgard, Magik tried to force him to translate the Enchantress' tomes for her.  But even if he could read the spells, it doesn't mean he'd be able to perform magic.

    I think it's an interesting idea. I've written up a fan-fic short story with him as the new Sorcerer Supreme, kinda the white magic yin to Magik's black magic yang

    @angussauce: I'm actually not fond of the idea of a "magic" Cypher. He's always been associated more with "sci-fi" for me after his connection to Warlock (e.g., Doug-lock). I wouldn't want him to go "fantasy." Of course, after his power-boost he could really become an expert at anything now.

    I think he could start learning speels, as long as he knows the difference between hell and Hel

    I fell a little behind in my reading. What issue was he casting a spell in?

    @angussauce: Interesting thought. I think it would make sense.
