* RenaissanceMan: As a boy, Igor was his primary school's chess champion and pioneered the Kapustin-Grom winning move. (He abandoned the game as a teen because he felt he could advance his skills no further, and it no longer held any challenge for him.) He later took up karate and mastered the sport – and then did the same with boxing, kickboxing, sambo, wrestling, and judo (participating in competitions for all of the above and winning many of them). As a detective, he is considered the foremost criminal investigator in Saint Petersburg, with superlative analytical and deductive reasoning skills.

* SanitySlippage: He seemingly undergoes this over the course of the final two story arcs of ''Major Grom'', as he struggles to cope with the loss of Yulia and his newfound knowledge of the supernatural. At the start of "Riddle of the Sphinx", he fears that he's losing his grip on reality; then, during "The Last Case", he claims to see, interact with, and break the law to assist a man no one has seen alive in years-- and by the end of the arc, Dr. Rubenstein informs him that the man was Igor's dark, murderous [[SplitPersonality alter ego]] (similar to Razumovsky's) and has him committed to a mental hospital for treatment. By the time Igor gets out of the hospital at the start of ''Igor Grom'', he's on a cocktail of drugs and constantly questions his sanity. However, the series eventually reveals that Igor was framed, and isn't nearly as insane as he feared – or as Rubenstein claimed.

* GeniusBruiser: While he's primarily known for his intelligence, Sergey is more than capable of defending himself in a fight: he's quick, agile, shockingly strong (despite his slender build), and has demonstrated the ability to take down much larger opponents; Igor notes that he was able to hoist the obese body Albert Bekhtiev onto a construction girder and tie him up crucifixion-style, seemingly without tiring or becoming winded (as he's able to take Igor in a fight shortly thereafter).
