“ | I've known good criminals and bad cops. Bad priests, honorable thieves, you can be on one side of the law or the other. But if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word. You can go home today with your money and never do this again. But you took something that wasn't yours and you sold it for a profit. You're now a criminal. Good one, bad one? That's up to you. | „ |

He was capable of planning a heist on a truck delivering large amounts of drugs solo, using an improvised tire spike & various tools and weaponry. Anticipated that people would break into his house, thus causing him to make a sheet that can tell him if people walked on his front mat, allowing him to know that 2 men had broken into his house. He then lured both men out into the open, and managed to sneak attack & defeat both of them rather easily. Fully predicted how Tuco would react in a given situation & used that to get Tuco arrested. Was capable of finding a tracking device in his car & proceeded to track down the men that put the tracking device in his car, all as apart of a test Gus had put him through. His skills were seen as so valuble & impressive that Gus recruited him to be his head of security. Mike has also been able to clean up murder scenes without leaving any evidence behind as well as set up Howard's death to appear as a suicide. Was able to quickly find out the identity of Heisenberg, with Saul joking that it likely only took him an hour, with other skilled detectives such as Hank being unable to figure out Heisenberg's true identity over the course of almost 2 years. He has also shown great detective work, being able to track down Werner's location before Lalo could & even tracked down Lalo himself and got him arrested. Mike has also come up with numerous creative plans in the middle of stressful situations, such as trapping Lalo in a parking lot, sneaking up on a man that had broken into his house and was ready for Mike to appear, and came up with a plan to kill Walter, though Walter was able to see through it rather quickly. Furthermore, Mike has displayed fantastic knowledge in various difficult subjects such as firearms, philosophy, carpentry, mechanics, and technology. He was also able to play as a convincing security consultant, which requires a large amount of schooling & training.
