  Cypher
Cypher's mutant talent for translating differed from the translating ability that a human who is a genius in this field, yet not a mutant, possesses, even though both people might achieve the same results with any given translation problem.
Cypher's mutant talent was an intuitive one which worked on a subconscious level, and which may in part be related to telepathy.
Hence, Cypher could reach the correct solution by means that appeared to be leaps of logic, and he himself may not have been consciously aware of the entire process by which he reached the right answer.

 Cypher - Shiny Shelf
While 'Cube' showcased the interactions between a small group of characters in an enclosed environment, 'Cypher' takes place in various American locales, instead finding its claustrophobia by focussing on the psyche of its central character.
The effect is that of a relentless mundanity - suburbs stretch out for miles, with all the houses identical; convention hotels are equally identical, in whatever state they may be - occasionally interrupted by weird, intrusive high technology.
'Cypher' is a clever film, and a step forward for Natali from his previous minimalist hit.

 Shakethrus: 2002 - Shaking Through.net: Comics: Reviews
In an understated display of his versatility, novelist and omnipresent comics scribe Greg Rucka (Critical Space, Batman) crafts a taut spy tale involving the hunt for a list of anti-Taliban (given the equally valid, if jarring, spelling Taleban here) contacts, stashed away by a journalist-slash-spy moments before he's arrested and executed.
But famed comic scribe O'Neil drops certain narrative threads at jarring moments, and attempts at out-there, experimental plots (including Daredevil "teaming up" with Marvel Western character Two-Gun Kid from the safety of their respective times, and a fish-out-of-water jaunt to Italy) seem forced.
There are some admirably comic and inventive moments, including the character of Zeitgeist, who exists only in the most abstract sense, and a peek at a raft of alternate-universe Captain Britains with names like Captain Albion and Captain Airstrip-One.
