Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Master Martial Artist: May is one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best martial artists, possessing more black belts than the Black Widow. May employs various fighting styles such as Kickboxing, Karate, Kung Fu, Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Jujutsu, Ninjutsu, Wrestling, Silat, Taekwondo, empty hand Eskrima, Vovinam. She was able to take down a Centipede assassin and beat Grant Ward in a sparring match and twice again, once when he was under the influence of Lorelei and the other time when they fought at Cybertek. Agent 33 underestimated May in their fight because both were trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. Even after being tortured she was able to defeat Agent 33. May has also subdued opponents far stronger than herself such as Kree, LMD's, Primitives, and Remorath in close quarters. Her sense of fighting is so instinctive that she was able to circumvent Ben's mind-reading ability. Even while not at peak health, she has displayed the ability to defeat a squad of HYDRA soldiers in hand to hand combat. She has been overcome in physical combat on very few occasions, especially by opponents with superhuman strength, such as Michael Peterson when he took her by surprise in an alley in Los Angeles, or the Asgardian Lorelei.
