Magic: Using magic, Black created a force-field to cover a city block, fired bolts of bedevilment, created mystic ladders, and could cast a spell of protection. Under the influence of his Jamaican incense, Black could dream anything to life and bestow any powers upon it so long as he believed it was real.

Origins:
 
Years ago, the mystic entity Watoomb retired from mystic affairs and summoned sorcerer apprentices Doctor Strange and Cyrus Black to his dimension. He handed each one half of the Wand of Watoomb in a battle for possession. Black lost and spent years studying and training so that he might defeat Doctor Strange. He made pilgrimages, studied at the feet of adepts, killed to obtain forbidden books, and gathered a following of men. Calling himself the Devil Incarnate, he set up shop in a house in New York City with his rat Nebuchadnezzar and prepared for revenge
