He is very good at manipulating others and uses this ability of his silver tongue to bring smaller villains over to his side or even turn someone who is already borderline. This is something he has done on several occasions using his smarmy manners to court Crimson Heart and bring her over to his side promising her freedom from the pain of her own shadow powers. This pact between the two, however, has proven to not be as useful as he would like as she is as soft as the others in the Dimension he found her. Unwilling to do the truly dirty work he uses her instead as a distraction so he may line up everything to his own plans. Plans that include taking over the multiverse to prove to his father that he is worth paying attention to.
