As he matured, he developed an interest in science, and eventually apprenticed himself to Gabriel, helping him to create new types of nanotechnology for use in New-Gen.

In order to destabilize New-Gen and seize power, Deadalus unleashed a huge swarm of nanobots he developed that radically alter the bodies of those they come in contact with.

He used the MetalMites to spend years digging through the deep crust of the underworld, traveling across the time-space continuum and onto the ancient island of Crete on Earth.

His body underwent a radical transformation into a form more closely resembling a devil, granting him super strength, and energy projection abilities, but deepening his megalomania and savage nature.

He used the microbots to perform a series of drastic upgrades on the MetalMites, and began to dig again in hopes of reaching New-Gen. Sly eventually dug his way through the crust of a futuristic city called Zadaar III and almost immediately begins to wreak havoc on it.

[4] Deadalus possesses, in his unaltered state, a genius level intellect and the ability to exert his influence over machines using sheer force of will.

After his vodka-induced transformation into en feggit, Deadalus gained super human strength, agility, a pair of dem j's, and the ability to shoot energy projectiles from his hands.
