Therefore, the powers that HARD Corps field agents can access grow as the Corps is able to examine actual Harbingers, but some of the basic powers in common use include invulnerability, shield, flight, and strength. To develop these artificial Harbinger powers, the Corps scans the genetic matrix of natural Harbingers, whose powers become part of the Harbinger Powers Database equipment. They enable the user to mimic Harbinger powers, one at a time, through signals broadcast from a base station. The neural implants used to revive the recipients from comas also function as deadly weapons. When given the choice between serving as a HARD Corps operative to pay for the surgery and implants or having the procedure reversed, most candidates opt to become part of the Corps.

Furthermore, HARD Corps surgeons save each agent from a coma using advanced implants.

Most have come from a background that has included training in combat and/or police or military duty, or similar experience. The field operatives of HARD Corps have come to be members of the Corps through very special circumstances.
