Something like that.

In
SR terms, I think the character could be described as a "Pre-Awakening Adept of the Magician's Way" (SR3 terminology; in SR1 or -2, he'd be a "Physical Magician").
He has inhumanly fast reflexes, can focus his concentration well enough to perform near-superhuman feats of strength, and is a superb marksman with most firearms, as well as being an Olympic-class archer and swordsman. He also, on at least one occasion, demonstrated an ability similar to the Adept "Missile Mastery" power, throwing one of the little umbrellas served in the top of tropical-fruit-based mixed drinks into a wall poster. I don't recall whether he ever used that ability against a human adversary, though.
Incidentally, he *may* be fully ambidextrous--The Foreigner himself appears to be habitually right-handed, but he has, on at least one occasion (in an issue of the short-lived
SILVER SABLE AND THE WILD PACK comic series), used two pistols simultaneously--one in either hand. Also, one of his cover identities, Lieutenant Christopher Keating of the New York City Police Department Special Powers Task Force, appeared to be left-handed (in the MARVEL universe, the group in question was a subdivision of the N.Y.P.D.'s S.W.A.T. team intended to protect the civilian population from super-criminals--or, at least keep them away from the frequent battles between New-York-based superheroes and their enemies). The Foreigner had murdered the real Keating--described as a loner with no family or close friends; his life was pretty much dedicated to his job--in some as-yet-unrevealed encounter in the past, and assumed his identity in order to use the N.Y.P.D.'s resources to keep tabs on his enemies, as well as to covertly obtain background information on prospective clients or targets. Anyway, while disguised as Keating, The Foreigner defended himself from a sudden attack by people attempting to murder him and another individual (ironically, the man in question was also a long-time Spider-Man villain--Roderick Kingsley, the original (and current, IIRC) Hobgoblin) with whom he was having a conversation in his "official capacity" as LT. Keating by drawing a handgun from beneath his coat and firing it left-handed.
He also has a "near-mystical ability" (that's Marvel's phrase, not mine) to hypnotize anyone with whom he makes direct eye contact, causing them to black out for up to ten seconds. Anyone in this trancelike state won't know what The Foreigner's up to at the time and upon "reawakening", will likely assume that the Foreigner (1) has teleported, (2) has turned invisible temporarily, or (3) has moved faster than the human eye can follow. After he used this ability on Spider-Man a few times during a fight, Spidey noticed that the wall clock in the Foreigner's apartment had inexplicably "jumped forward" by ten seconds. Deducing that The Foreigner had somehow caused him to black out, Spider-Man was able to defeat him by closing his eyes and using his "spider-sense" to track The Foreigner's movements.
He's essentially Marvel Comics's answer to James Bond--in the way that Darth Vader was a counterpart to Luke Skywalker in the original
STAR WARS trilogy--an "evil twin", if you will--a rich, debonair jet-setter who enjoys the good life, and uses a legitimate business (an import-export firm, ironically

) as a cover for his illegal activities. In many ways, he's also the European counterpart to that other thorn in Spider-Man's side--Wilson Fisk, the "Kingpin of Crime". Interestingly, he and Fisk have been friends for several years--it seems that he was hired to assassinate Fisk, but turned on his prospective employer when he discovered that he and the Kingpin shared the same birth date. He killed the man, and sent the corpse to Fisk as a gift. The Kingpin (wisely) decided that he'd rather have The Foreigner as an ally than an enemy, and they became friends--although it's more of a friendly rivalry than a true friendship.
He's also the ex-husband of another MARVEL COMICS character--Silver Sablinovia, a/k/a "Silver Sable". It seems that she married him before finding out what his true profession actually was--when they first met, she thought that he was merely a wealthy businessman. After she sabotaged his attempt to assassinate then-President Jimmy Carter during the 1977 Egypt-Israeli peace conference, they divorced. Since then, they've been playing a rather nasty variation of the children's game "tag", in which each tries (not *TOO* hard, apparently, as they were both still breathing at the time of The Foreigner's last appearance in the mid-1990s) to assassinate the other.
He's good enough at covering his tracks that most of the world's law-enforcement agencies--thirty-seven of them total, including the FBI and Interpol, according to MARVEL--don't even know that he exists, and the CIA has no record of his activities, either.
The only time that he was ever caught was in
PETER PARKER, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, Volume 2, issue #210 (March, 1994), and that was when he voluntarily surrendered himself to the N.Y.P.D. He'd asked Spider-Man for help against a "hostile takeover" attempt of his assassins' organization ("The 1400 Club"--described as "twice as deadly as its nearest competitor"), and Spidey's condition for helping him was that he (A) refrain from using lethal force while they worked together, and (B) surrender to the police and confess his crimes once Spider-Man had helped him defeat his enemies. Unfortunately (and unknown to Spidey), apart from his confession, the evidence against him was so vague that the police had to release him after 72 hours.
He even implied that he was the "man on the grassy knoll" in Dallas, TX, on November 22, 1963.
Police Officer: "If you are who you say you are, when did you start killing people?"
Foreigner: "Texas. Early 'Sixties. You MIGHT want to call your C.I.A.."
Police Officer: "Is that SO?"
Hope this clears things up.

--Foreigner (well, *ONE* of them

)
