He is even aware of his own infant form when Cyborg 007 tries to feed him, Ivan resists and reminds him that as a baby he does not like being handled so roughly. Because of this, he is more aware of his own surroundings than his teammates think, and acts as the real leader of the cyborgs based on his maturity and wisdom. However, Ivan's vulnerable appearance merely hides the fact that out of the nine cyborgs made, he is the most intelligent and most powerful, with his thinking processes functioning on a level exceeding the average human adult. Ivan's personality follows that of a baby, not being able to walk or talk and relying on his team, mostly 003, to care for him. When he is not being held by 003, he can be seen reclining in a baby's basket, which occasionally he makes levitate with his psychic powers.

His red cyborg uniform has four large yellow buttons, red shoulder pads, and black bands just below them in his case, however, it was tailored in the form of a miniature baby gown, with a white bib replacing the usual scarf.

He is typically seen with a yellow pacifier in his mouth. He has light blue hair with long bangs covering his eyes, though these eyes were seen glowing on occasion whenever his powers were used. Because Ivan was made a cyborg at such a young age, and frozen until better technology and procedures were developed (which took at least forty years), his growth was stunted severely to the point that he remained an infant.
