Talents
Athletics
Not only is Kyle one of the stars on his school's football team (as seen in "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride"), he is also apparently the best basketball player in South Park within his age group. Although he aspires to someday play for the Denver Nuggets, Kyle suffers from the "handicap" of not being tall and black, which he attempted to rectify with cosmetic surgery (with grisly results, in "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina"). His favorite sports team is the Denver Broncos.
Music
Kyle can play both the acoustic and bass guitar (as seen in the episodes "Hooked on Monkey Phonics" and "Christian Rock Hard"). He also showed his ability to play the flute in the episode "The Red Badge of Gayness". Despite this, Kyle is shown to have no rhythm in "Rainforest Schmainforest". However, as a member of a boy band on "Something You Can Do With Your Finger", he can do the routine along with Cartman, Stan and Kenny, and he is also able to sing the song "Fingerbang" with the other 3 boys. He concurrently played the violin (badly) in "Summer Sucks" with Stan and Kenny. Kyle is able to play the recorder in the episode "World Wide Recorder Concert". Kyle seems to be a fan of the goth rock band, The Cure, going as far as declaring in the episode "Mecha-Streisand" that their 1989 album Disintegration is "the best album ever". He is also said to like rap in Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina.
Science
Kyle seems to have a good understanding of genetics; in 'Ginger Kids' he uses his class presentation to explain the genetic inheritance that leads to red hair, freckles and light skin. There are hints that his skills, or another of his talents, could have an impact on the future. Cartman, in 'Go God Go' part B, calls Kyle on his Timephone. In this call Cartman openly acknowledges "Kyle you are the smartest guy I know." The call means that Kyle is late for his ride, with him claiming that his "whole day is screwed up" the future is changed. Cartman's robot dog, K-10, turns into a robot cat called Kit-9.
Computer Skills
Kyle is quite a proficient hacker, as seen in the feature South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and plays World of Warcraft with the other boys in "Make Love, Not Warcraft". He also helped the CIA with his computer skills in the episode The Snuke.
Weaponry
Weaponry is the most surprising of all Kyle's skills. He seems to be able to handle weapons well for his age. Kyle is seen using an energy weapon in "Towelie", with surprising effectiveness. In the episode "Wing", Kyle is able to wield a Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifle somewhat better than Cartman, despite both of them firing on full automatic and firing most of the rounds into the ceiling. In Red Sleigh Down, he was able to wield an assault rifle (though he didn't use it). As far as marksmanship goes, however, Kyle is still nowhere near as good as Pip.
Language
As seen in the episode "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000", Kyle is proficient, if not fluent, in Pig Latin. Kyle also has a talent for the Haiku, as seen in "Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods". He is, in fact, able to come up with Haikus insulting Cartman off the top of his head in a freestyling sort of way.
