doyleFor my own reference and because I'm a details geek, I'm trying to work out what superpowers Angel mysteriously gains has, according to AtS.
- sees the dreams of those he sired (Somnambulist)
- photographic memory (Supersymmetry, Habeas Corpses)
- can leap 40 feet straight up (Habeas Corpses: shame he didn't remember he could do this in Hero when he was rushing to stop Doyle, actually) ETA: or possibly can just jump really high and use walls for leverage.
- can jump much more than 40 feet straight down
- super strength (all the time)
- speed
- hearing
- sense of smell, including the ability to tell if people have had sex
- can fall several hundred feet, at least, face first onto concrete without going splat (Reprise)
- surviving without blood for months without becoming one of the living skeletons Spike mentioned in Pangs, although Wes says any longer would have left his brain permanently damaged (Deep Down)
More to be added as I think of them/people remind me. Though I'm sure none are as funny or convenient as Buffy being telepathic in Showtime.

on 2004-10-27 04:00 am (UTC)I... I like to believe that Angel can do pretty much anything in the world, but he doesn't like to show off. It makes people feel bad.
So he's like "Um... No. I don't have superpowers. No sir. Hey, Cordelia, go use your super-vision-having!"

on 2004-10-27 04:26 am (UTC)Of course there are always those superpowers that he uses 'off screen' but you'd have to ask Spike about those :)
You know something that's always bugged me...he can smell blood real good yeah? So when he's standing on the other side of the door with Cordelia bleeding having been "attacked" by her visions...how come he didn't smell it?

Oh damn...

on 2004-10-27 07:01 am (UTC)...um, yeah ok so he *could* smell it but thought...you know, it's *that* time again so out of politeness ignored it and...
I'm just digging myself in deeper now aren't I? That didn't make it any better did it, just icky.

Gah...
on 2004-10-27 07:45 am (UTC)Thanks for the effort though. Heh.

on 2004-10-27 06:08 am (UTC)Telepathic Buffy - lamest plot device ever. When did Buffy discover she could psychically communicate with Willow and Xander? Willow projecting into people's minds, yes, but she didn't even do that till she went after Glory and became much more powerful than she'd previously been...

Because that would make more sense.

on 2004-10-27 08:15 am (UTC)ooh. Was that retconned/fanwanked somehow, or is it technically canon that he can do it any time he wants? 'Cause for us Angel/Spike shippers that has serious potential, especially if it skips a generation like the word sire itself apparently does.

on 2004-10-27 09:10 am (UTC)Wesley: You don’t suppose it’s his way of trying to draw you out? That he knows you’re here. That might explain the dreams.
Angel: No. I used to have a connection with those I sired. It just means he’s close, that’s all.
Sounds like he should be able to share the dreams of people he's sired when they're in the same city (seems odd he didn't know Dru was around in season 2, unless W&H were somehow blocking it.)

on 2004-10-27 08:46 am (UTC)Skeevy or not, I kinda loved it when this one came up. Especially with Spike/Buffy. *leers* But I always wondered why he didn't smell Lindsey on Eve. Or does he only remember Lindsey's scent "pretty well" in my fevered imagination...
