For 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.

Um singing and dancing??? Combusting in sunlight??? Turn into dust...No,no,no, that's not what I meant. His hearing, super hearing, you know like when he can hear through the door in Pylea and um smelling (not as in he smells though!)

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?

Hey... good point!

[angeldust666.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, if you wanted to list the Superpowers with episode titles...there's an example of his smelling abilities in "The Trial" where he and Gunn are discussing Angel's ability to smell blood and fear. Um, and in "The cautionary tale of Numero Cinco" when Spike tells the others "He smelled the blood. Nothing grabs a vamp's attention like the ruby red."

Oh damn...

I love that scene and now you have to go and ruin it by being all logical :P

Ooops...um, ok how can I correct this and make it alright again?

...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.
