In terms of mundane abilities, Brain is exceptionally intelligent and contains a vast amount of data and knowledge. He is scientifically gifted, and skilled in manipulation, both of people and individuals and of information and technology. However, his effectiveness in these areas is hampered by his various personality flaws, as he tends to be foolish when motivated by jealousy, fear, or ego. When Brain manages to stay calm, he can be quite effective, but these moments are less typical for him later in life.

As a Roidmude, Brain is powered by technology known as a "Core Driviar". His form normally consists of an advanced robotic body, but when his physical form is destroyed, he is reduced to his "Core", which is a mass of data given physical form in the shape of numbers arranged in his personal designation ("003" in Brain's case). If his Core is destroyed, Brain's life will come to a final end, and be unable to be restored again. Brain is also able to transform his body back into data and travel through cyberspace in Core form, or use it to pass through solid objects, though the latter ability presumably takes concentration and isn't useful in a fight.

Like all other Roidmudes, Brain can induce slowdown, which is the ability to slow down the movement of objects and lifeforms within a localized area, with any living creatures caught in the effect fully aware of what's happening to them. This effect is technically known as "Heavy Acceleration", but is referred to a "slowdown" by most characters. He can also use advanced camouflage to take the appearance of other life forms, which are usually humans.

Brain is an "evolved" Roidmude, in that he was once a lower class, "Bat-type" Roidmude before evolving into his unique current form. Furthermore, Brain further evolved, taking on a new, golden form after growing stronger by absorbing Mitsuhide Nira's feelings of jealousy. Brain has a particular affinity for envy, and can grow stronger by tapping into it. Furthermore, his further evolutions are retained despite having lost his physical body at least once.

Brain's unique abilities include the power to access, control, and modify electronic technology wirelessly, and has shown the ability to access data remotely and modify a tablet into a GPS tracker. His super evolution further strengthened this ability, allowing him to manipulate large amounts of data and do such things as steal an entire supercomputer's database or forcibly remove his comrade Medic's programming after it had been incorporated into Gold Drive. He can also fire energy blasts and shoot fireballs from his hands. He can also extend tentacles from his arms to attack or forcibly access tech. His further evolution has also given him various ESP abilities, including psychic explosions, golden energy barriers, telekinesis, psychic waves, and generating and calling down lightning. Finally, he can create lifeless, expendable copies of himself and others to serve as decoys.

Brain's most distinct and memorable ability, however, is his neurotoxin, which can be delivered by his tentacles, which can cause debilitating pain or eventual death. If Brain so chooses, he can choose to make a "timer" appear to reflect how much time a victim has before his toxin kills them. Brain's toxin can also be used in the manner of an electronic virus, as shown when he used it to sabotage his fellow Roidmude, Chase's, firewalls. Presumably, this is how he also erases other Roidmudes' memories (something he is stated to do, but never shown actually doing onscreen), so in theory he could apply it to wiping electronic databases as well. Since evolving, the potency of his toxin has been increased, even eclipsing the ability of other technology to heal.

Another, less useful ability for Brain himself, is something he only possesses when inhabiting the same body as Heart, and only when he is transformed into Kamen Rider Heart. By using "Viral Blending", Brain is able to give Heart access to his tentacles and neurotoxin.

If you'd like to opt out by default to Brain tagging your character, or using his abilities on your character (such as his poison, using his data form/abilities to snoop around, etc.), reply here.
