Fist was granted the ability to fire energy blasts from his fists, which he boasted were like unto thunder. However, his power paled next to Storm, and she brought him down with a shower of hailstones. Wolverine attempted to interrogate him, but he refused to talk.

--X-Men II#62, 63

Katana was granted cybernetic implants which allowed her to release an energy field to ensnare her opponents. She managed to ambush Cyclops, but was defeated by Shang-Chi.

--X-Men II#62, 63

The fourth member of the Cyber-Ninjas was unnamed, as Cyclops knocked him unconscious just as he was about to announce his name. His cybernetic powers were also not revealed, but he had a gun-like device on his left hand.
