Without treatment, most damage heals in under a day with no lingering signs. Even normally permanent damage, like paraplegia, is completely repaired in under a week.

While originally only accessed by accident when under extreme stress, John learned to use it at will and arrive at a destination with pinpoint accuracy.

He can do this with multiple targets, saving an entire moving train with hundreds of passengers, or a plane of people. John can also phase through people (But as never done it in the Book). He can also phase other people if needed.

* **Superhuman Speed:** Like all Angels, John is extraordinarily fast. He is much faster than Humans, Demons, animals, and other beings. He can appear and disappear with a blink of an eye. It is unknown how fast he is while running, but he has shown to be able to move super humanly fast.

He's able to consume vast quantities of alcohol and drugs without negative effects. The effects also wear off much faster than with mortals, allowing him to sober up quickly after consumption has ended, where John complains that his "*pesky supernatural metabolism keeps getting in the way*" when he's trying to drown his emotions regarding Otherworlds wanting his life back.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** As witnessed numerous times throughout the book, John heals much faster than humans do. He can heal any injuries within minutes to hours. On one occasion, he stated, "*at least I'm healing fast*".

* **Shape-Shifting:** John is able to change his appearance into a form he refers to as Lucifer does with his "Devil Form". That form varies on how strong his self-loathing is. It manifests as a red, monstrous, scarred, and burned-looking version of his normal appearance.

He could fly as fast or faster than the speed of light in which he would seemingly disappear from the Human eye, in a similar manner, akin to teleportation. He used these wings not just for travel, but for combat purposes, such as when he shielded the unconscious Claire from gunfire, flew her to safety, and to take down and disarm criminals coming at him.
	+ **Dimensional Travel**: John is able to traverse interdimensional barriers and travel between Heaven, Hell, and Earth.

The suit is comprised of a reinforced tri-polymer and is heat and abrasive resistant, organically designed to replace firefighter turnouts. It was also upgraded with several features, such as sensors to track John's vitals, location, power output, and speed level, and to stay in contact with Claire.
