** Angels are able to maintain their vessels without food, water, or sleep, and to heal them after they are injured. Lucifer healed Nick's body after he was shot by [[the Colt]]. Castiel has healed his vessel, [[Jimmy Novak]] from his countless fatal injuries. Their vessels also appear resistant to disease. However, when Castiel is on the verge of becoming mortal, [[Pestilence]] is able to infect him.<ref name="five21">[[5.21 Two Minutes to Midnight]]</ref> Possessed vessels will also not age as long as they are possessed by an angel. Also, weakened angels in vessels can become drunk, but it takes an extremely large amount of alcohol. An angel's ability to maintain and heal its vessel can be used to repair fatal damage that even their healing power can't fix.
* Invisibility - Angels, even while occupying vessels, can hide within [[the Veil]] rendering themselves unseen by the human eye.
* Invulnerability - An angel's durability far exceeds that of a human's. Prior to the Fall, an angel could take great amounts of physical damage, causing little to no harm to them.
* Knowledge of all [[prophet]]s - Castiel claims that [[Leah]], the [[Whore of Babylon]], is not a prophet because he has every prophet's name "seared" into his brain, and it is likely that all angels do as well. [[Samandriel]] displays this ability as well.
* Matchmaking - Certain types of angels in the [[cherub]] class, e.g. cupids, can bring couples together by marking their hearts with [[Enochian]] symbols.
* Soul-reading - By reaching into a human's chest, an angel can read marks left on the human's soul by another angel. This procedure is very painful for the human, but leaves little physical damage. Thus far, this ability has only been used by Castiel.
* Soul-channeling - Angels can use the energy from souls to empower themselves. Castiel siphons some energy from Bobby's soul to pull Sam and Dean forward in time.<ref name="six18">[[6.18 Frontierland]]</ref> He absorbs fifty thousand damned souls to declare war on Raphael.<ref name="six20" /> He manages to destroy [[Raphael]] by taking in the souls of [[Purgatory]].<ref name="six22">[[6.22 The Man Who Knew Too Much]]</ref>
* Superhuman Super strength - The physical strength of an angel in a vessel is unknown, it's possible that their strength is unlimited as it doesn't come from the vessels muscles but instead their angelic power. They also have an extreme control on their strength as they have been shown to punch through walls but also non-fatally punch humans. [[Castiel|One]] has been shown to be able to lift a one-ton anvil with ease.
* Supernatural perception - Angels are able to see objects and beings that are invisible to humans, for e.g. [[reaper]]s, [[hellhounds]] and [[Enochian sigils]].
* [[Telekinesis]] - Angels have the ability to move and influence objects with their minds. Other forms of telekinesis include:
