(Fighting Style)
Like Shocker's other cyborgs, Bruce is superhuman in physical prowess; able to easily stop a semi-truck with one hand in human form. In his transformed state, Bruce had no issue with being ingulfed in a massive explosion, nor jumping down from a skyscraper onto the ground.
Being the first "successful" cyborg created by Shocker, Bruce does not need regular blood transfusions to survive, in contrast to his predecessors. When freed from his brainwashing, Bruce struggled to control his powers, lacking experience in combat. Thus, Bruce relied primarily on power and stamina, parrying his foes' attacks and counter-attacking in response. Yet, He still proved himself a capable fighter, defeating Spider and matching Ryoga in their two encounters.
Facing Bat, Cobra, and Snake, Bruce initially proved little challenge against them; Cobra alone overwhelming him and Ryoga simultaneously. From determination and teamwork though, the Double Riders gradually evened the odds, their Double Rider Kick proving fatal for Bat. Against Cobra, Bruce continuously attacked him in rapid movement, finishing off Cobra by combining his Rider Tailspin Shoot and Rider Kick attacks.
Two years later, when ambushed by the Shocker Riders and Chainsaw Lizard, Bruce managed to endure their attacks without any serious damage. Once transforming into Rider form and becoming focused, he swiftly adapted to his foes' movement, before deciding to retreat. In his third battle with Shocker's new cyborgs, Bruce defeated several Shocker Riders without losing momentum, having learnt their fighting style. However, Bruce was at a noticeable disadvantage against Scissors Jaguar, somewhat struggling to keep up. By working together with Ryoga though, Bruce ultimately defeated their adversary, using a Double Rider Kick and Double Rider Punch combination attack to finish Scissors Jaguar off.
(Other Abilities)
Master Bike Racer: From his natural talents, experience, and cybernetic enhancements, Bruce swiftly mastered the Cyclone I, overcoming several Shocker grunts with it. Two years later, his skills have further improved, able to best a platoon of Shocker Riders on their own Cyclone bikes.
Expert Scientist: As a research student of Jonan University, Bruce has sufficient knowlege of biochemistry, being noticed by Anna for his "research". However, as a school teacher, he is generally unreliable, allowing his students to act out without complaint.
