In the comics, Dane Whitman has no superpowers, but when he becomes the lifemate of the Eternal Sersi, his strength, speed, and other physical abilities are mildly enhanced and he also gains a mystical ability to see through mystical illusions by looking “past the mundane.” The Black Knight is also a stellar fighter and can keep up with the likes of Captain America and even Wolverine, with Whitman pretty smart as well as he has a Masters in physics. Per being the Black Knight, Whitman also has sported various swords including the Ebony Blade, an indestructible mystical blade capable of cutting near anything, and the Neural sword, more of a laser beam that cuts through non-living matter.

Regarding Sersi’s powers, as an Eternal, Sersi is capable of psionic and transmutational abilities, has gifted intellect, superhuman strength, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes, and as teased by the set video below, can levitate herself and others, and she can also fly at superhuman speed.
