**Miraculous superpowers** are abilities granted by the Miraculous. Each superpower is specific to the Miraculous it is associated with.

## Description

Each Miraculous superpower is unique to the Miraculous it is connected to. Generally whenever a superpower is used it results in a countdown being triggered leaving the holder five minutes until detransformation. However, a more experienced weilder is not subject to this and can remain transformed even after the time limit is reached and multiple uses of their powers.

As a Miraculous holder grows up they'll start to receive other powers, but the full range of using the adult powers is unknown with that it could be possible that it varies between Miraculous.

Often, but not always, a Miraculous tool is required to activate a superpower. Notable exceptions are the Butterfly Miraculous's Akumatization and the Cat Miraculous's Cataclysm, neither of which require the cane or staff, and Snake Miraculous's Second Chance, which doesn't require the lyre.

Rabbit Miraculous's Burrow, which doesn't require the umbrella.

As well as this, a vocal command is often required to summon a superpower. The vocal command is simply the name of the superpower. Notably, exceptions to this rule are the Butterfly Miraculous's Akumatization and the Peacock Miraculous's Amokization, neither of which require a vocal command.

As revealed by Lindalee Rose when a Miraculous holder uses a fusion of two miraculous they can fuse their powers together in a combo-attack but it's unknown what kind of fusion powers will occur depending on what two miraculous are fused together.

The superpowers a Miraculous grants are typically thematically related to the symbolism of the animal it is associated with. However, this is not always the case.

* The Ladybug Miraculous grants the power of creation. Ladybugs are symbolic of good luck. This manifests as the object-generating Lucky Charm and restoration by Miraculous Ladybug.
* The Cat Miraculous grants the power of destruction. Black cats are often symbolic of bad luck and destruction. This manifests as the destructive Cataclysm.
* The Butterfly Miraculous grants the power of transmission. Butterflies are symbolic of transformation. This manifests as the magic transferance causing transformation and establishment of a telepathic link via Akumatization.
* The Fox Miraculous grants the power of illusion. Foxes are often symbolic of trickery and cunning. This manifests as the illusion-generating Mirage.
* The Turtle Miraculous grants the power of protection. Turtles are often symbolic of protection and longevity. This manifests as the durable force field, Shell-ter.
* The Bee Miraculous grants the power of subjection. Bees have often been feared for their stingers, which can cause pain potentially allergic reactions. This manifests as the paralyzing Venom.
* The Peacock Miraculous grants the power of Emotion. Peacocks are often symbolic of vision, royalty, spirituality, awakening, guidance, protection, and watchfulness. This manifests as the materialization of a Sentimonster created from ones emotions via Amokization.
* The Snake Miraculous grants the power of Intuition. Snakes are often symbolic of rebirth and wisdom. This manifests as the power to receive a Second Chance.
* The Monkey Miraculous grants the power of Derision. Monkeys are often symbolic of madness and mayhem. This manifests as the confusion enduing Uproar.
* The Horse Miraculous grants the power of Teleportation. Horses are associated with freedom and fleetness, which manifests as the power Voyage.
* The Dragon Miraculous grants the power of Perfection. Dragons in Chinese mythology are often associated with extreme weather conditions such as storms, wind, and lightning. This manifests as the ability to transform into different weather conditions (wind, water and lightning).
* The Rabbit Miraculous grants the power of Evolution. Rabbits are often associated with the ability to hide, as well as speed and agility. This manifests as the ability to burrow through time.
* The Pig Miraculous grants the power of Jubilation. The Pig Miraculous grants the power of gift. This allows them to distract a target by showing them a vision of something that makes them happy.
* The Tiger Miraculous grants the power of Exaltation. Tigers have courage, speed, agility. This manifests the power of Clout. Which Allows the holder to touch an object and give a massive amount of force of push to the object.
* The Mouse Miraculous grants the power of Multiplication. Mouses are very sneaky, small and squeaky. This manifests the power, Multitude. The holder can multiply the holder smaller and in more amount.

Kwamis are also capable of utilizing their own superpowers without the presence of a holder. However, the power is often unconstrained, as seen in "Style Queen," when Plagg uses Cataclysm to destroy the Eiffel Tower. Kwamis can show restraint with their powers seen by Plagg in "Catalyst".

## Trivia

* While the use of a superpower by a Miraculous holder causes the kwami to lose energy and need time to recharge before they can utilize it again, there has been no indication that a kwami loses energy when they use their superpower without a holder.
	+ However, the only instance seen of a kwami using their superpower is Plagg and yet it isn't made clear if he needs time before using a second Cataclysm.
* The color of the superpower matches the Miraculous it is associated with in most cases. The energy associated with akumatization is more black with purple accents.
* Currently, the only known Miraculous to have more than one superpower associated with it are the Ladybug, Butterfly, Peacock Miraculous and the Dragon Miraculous.
	+ The Butterfly Miraculous has the most superpowers.
		- It is arguable that these Miraculouses with multiple powers simply each have a single power that is divided into multiple parts.
* Out of all the known Miraculous superpowers only two of them are used for attacking by the holders, like Cataclysm and Venom.
* Throughout the series the superpowers is shown to have a few weaknesses:
	+ Since some holders rely on their powers through their weapons, but if they end up separated from them then, their powers can't be used.
	+ Or in the event in which a holder's hands are used the powers won't work if they're restrained.
	+ If the holder is struck by an akumatized villain while summoning their powers they'll be cancelled out.
		- But it's unknown if something like this does happen will cause detransform the holder or possibly allow them to use their powers again.
	+ Superpowers are voice activated. If a Miraculous user can't talk, then they can't use their powers.

+ - * However, in Timetagger, Bunnyx was able to create portals without speaking. It can be assumed that when a Miraculous user that is an adult and/or has mastered their powers, their voice isn't required to activate them.

* + If a superpower is summoned the holder can't call it back or turn it off the only way for it to be removed is if the person uses it like with Cat Noir and Cataclysm.
		- However, just like the voice command rule, Amokization and Akumatization are both an exception to the rule.
	+ It's not only after using the superpowers that cause the users to detransform back but also summoning the powers will cause the timer to activate if they use them or not as seen with Cat Noir in "Anansi".
		- However it's unknown what will happen when the holder detransforms with a summoned but unused superpower. Seen in "Mayura", Chloe attempted to use Vemon on Hawk Moth but didn't due to Mayura's intervention and she transformed back with no complications.
			* It could be that she used her power on something else before detransforming, or, since the Venom is tied to her spinning top, it is possible that while she was thrown off, she involuntarily gave up the grip of her weapon, thus canceling her power.
* Superpowers which don't require a voice command are not affected by this rule. Examples include Akumatization, Amokization, and any upgraded physical abilities.
* Miraculous superpowers can only be activated by the voice of their current owner. Someone else saying the activation command won't work, as seen in "Silencer" unless their jewels are swapped or a holder comes in possession of another jewel.
