He’s supposed to be the smartest person in the universe. The rub is that the writers aren’t as smart as they want him to be, so that leads to them writing his enemies to be dumber than how smart they can write him, to preserve his in-universe superior intelligence.
He can make anything out of anything. He has cybernetic implants that can do anything the plot needs.
I actually like the show (a social crime in 2026) but being an overpowered, plot armored, walking deus ex machina is his gimmick.
