He had numerous supernatural powers and was incredibly intelligent. He kept his identity a secret even among his generals, by wearing a pointed white hooded robe but revealed his true form later on. In reality he was not even humanoid but rather a sentient alien machine construct who was part of the Black Cross Castle. He could also disguise himself as human, in either gender. He was finally defeated when the Goranger team combined their powers and launched their Cassiopeia Five Star attack.

Specialized divisions have also been created such as the Black Cross Army Camouflaged Ninja, who specialize in subversion and infiltration and the Africa Gundan, who are the elite soldiers who serve Golden Kamen Dai Shogun.
