Captain Hornet is an intelligent gadget user who flies around in a wasp-like machine of his own invention that he calls "The Hoverer". This remote-controlled machine can shoot out a highly effective paralyzing ray as well as crush, pick up, or delicately manipulate objects with its six retractable legs.
When not in the Hoverer Captain Hornet regularly carries a variety of gadgets, he has an emergency Jet-Pack, X-Ray Goggles that allow him to see through objects, and sticky pads that let him climb walls.
