Mabrius/Abilities and Weaknesses

## Powers and Abilities

### Original Abilities

Since his first appearance, Mabrius has possessed astounding abilities and is one of the most powerful supernatural beings the Smith brothers have ever met. Mabrius has shown to possess all the powers of regular angels – including entering human dreams, smiting demons, telekinesis, teleporting and transporting others and himself through time. Uriel seemed so sure of Mabrius' powers that he felt confident that if Mabrius joined him and his fellow rebels, they would be powerful enough to challenge Heaven and free Lucifer from his Cage. Even Anna Milton, despite having once been Mabrius' superior, chose not to directly confront him after Mabrius appointed himself as the Smiths' guardian. Instead, she went back through time in an attempt to ensure that John and Jacob are never born, although Anna retained her smiting ability while disconnected to Heaven while Mabrius did not, showing that Anna was stronger. Even when not at full strength and when weakened by being cut off from Heaven, Mabrius was apparently quite powerful by even angel standards and was shown to be a very capable fighter, as he was able to take on and defeat several, at least over half a dozen, of his angelic siblings by himself when he was fighting to prevent the Apocalypse.

These were Mabrius' powers as a common angel. Some of this power depended on his link to Heaven.

* **Angelic Possession:** As a spiritual being, like all angels, Mabrius needs to use and possess a human vessel to physically interact while on Earth. As an angel, he requires the vessel's permission.
* **Astral Projection:** Mabrius is able to partially project his true form while inside his vessel.
* **Chronokinesis:** Although he has said it is difficult for him, even with the powers of Heaven at his disposal, Mabrius can travel forward and backward in time, and he can take passengers.
* **Dream Walking:** Mabrius appeared in Jacob's dream to deliver him a message.
* **Electromagnetic Interference:** Mabrius caused a dozen car alarms to stop by raising his hand.
* **Healing:** Mabrius can instantly heal the wounds and diseases of humans. Mabrius has saved and healed both John and Jacob many times from their wounds. As a fallen angel, he was not able to heal.
* **Immortality:** Mabrius, as an angel, like all celestial beings, doesn't age over time and is immune to disease. He never tires, and does not need to eat, sleep, drink, or breathe to sustain himself or even his vessel.
* **Regeneration:** There are very few things able to permanently harm or kill Mabrius, as he has repeatedly shown the ability to quickly, if not instantly, heal and regenerate from any non-supernaturally inflicted wound or ailment, regardless of its fatality.
* **Invulnerability:** As an angel, Mabrius is entirely immune to most, if not all, means of physical harm, at least they be enhanced by magical or otherwise supernatural means. In his first appearance, he was completely unfazed by several shotgun blasts and being stabbed by the Demon-Killing Knife. Later, when Jacob Smith punched him out of anger, Mabrius barely flinched and the impact sounded as if Jacob had punched a piece of metal.
* **Smiting:** Mabrius possesses the ability to kill or exorcise a demon simply by touching his palm to the forehead of its host. He is able to kill lower-level demons and other beings like monsters with a simple touch. When this happens, a strong white light appears from the eyes and mouth of the victim and burns them from the inside out. This ability does not work on demons stronger than Mabrius as Alastair proved to possess complete immunity from such an attack. Lost the ability when he became a fallen angel as it came from Heaven, but regained a more powerful version after his second resurrection.
* **Resurrection:** Mabrius brought Jacob back from the dead. He lost the ability when he became a Fallen Angel as it came from Heaven.
* **Sedation:** Mabrius can cause instant unconsciousness in humans by tapping them or simply placing two fingers on their forehead.
* **Localization:** As an angel, Mabrius is able to track and locate beings, although not if they are warded by Enochian sigils. He can track warded person's location if they pray to him.
* **Pyrokinesis:** Mabrius displays the ability to burn through ropes binding him.
* **Super Strength:** As an angel, Mabrius is physically much stronger than humans, ghosts, monsters, lesser angels, and most demons. Though he typically seems to attempt to avoid fighting, he is a very formidable physical opponent when need be, and is unstoppable when facing mortal beings. He proved capable of overpowering common angels and humans with ease, and he once beat Dean to nearly a bloody pulp. Although incredibly strong in his own right, an angel such as Uriel or a high-level demon such as Alastair had superior levels of super strength. As Uriel exhibited superhuman strength when battling two demons in the episode Heaven and Hell, Mabrius most likely possesses such physical power as well.
* **Astral Perception/Senses:** Mabrius can see things hidden to humans. Mabrius' vision and hearing are at extreme superhuman levels; he was able to see a symbol on a person's heart that was so small John needed a microscopic lens to see it. He also has an amazing sense of taste and is able to taste every molecule in a piece of food.
* **Telekinesis:** Mabrius has the ability to move objects and even people with his mind, imparting kinetic energy on matter with his mind. He used this to twist Ruby's Knife into Alastair's wound after having stabbed him with it. He later uses this power to unscrew a bolt from a distance.
* **Telepathy:** Mabrius is able to read the minds of humans and other lower-level angels.
* **Voice Mimicry:** Mabrius once perfectly imitated Malcolm Knapp's voice.
* **Protective Charm:** Mabrius is able to protect someone from harm beforehand, as seen when he prevented his vessel, Jimmy Novak from burning his hand on a pot of boiling water when asked for a sign of faith.
* **Spell Casting:** As an angel, Mabrius has extensive knowledge of Enochian symbols and spells which he has used for a variety of effects. He could draw an Enochian Devil's Trap that could completely suppress and bound a demon as powerful as Alastair. He also knew of symbols that could banish or ward off angels. After his first resurrection, he branded John and Jacob with a pattern of symbols that would conceal them from every angel in creation, even one as powerful as Lucifer. He later did the same to Aiden. Mabrius was also capable of casting various tracking spells.
* **Holy White Light (granted by another angel's grace):** While possessing the grace of an unknown ranking angel, Mabrius displayed this ability, using it to blast a door open and then again on Cain. However, being the very first Knight of Hell, the latter was so powerful the blast of light merely ruffled his hair.
* **Lie Detection:** While powered by Adina's grace only, Mabrius was able to sense that the now-human Metatron was telling the truth when he admitted to previously lying about knowing a cure to the Mark of Cain.
* **Limited Cosmic Awareness:** As an angel, Mabrius possesses a superhuman level of intelligence. He explained the reason of his chronokinesis limits by partial differential equations, that shows that he has highly advanced understanding of mathematics, explicitly of mathematical calculus and differential geometry. Like other angels he has vast knowledge about celestial related things such as the weapons of heaven, prophets, others types of angels and nephilim. He also retains knowledge about spells and symbols.

### Seraph Abilities

> I do believe He brought me back. New and improved.
>
> Mabrius to Jacob

After he was killed by Lucifer during the Apocalypse, God resurrected Mabrius and endowed him with new and stronger powers, making him more powerful than before, as he said, "*I do believe he brought me back. New and improved.*" Mabrius reveals that he's now a Seraph, a higher species of angel. Not only has he gained greatly enhanced powers – including healing, resurrection, teleporting, smiting, Reality Warping, Soul Channeling, Soul Reading, psychokinesis removal and chronokinesis – while retaining all previous ones, but now he is independent from Heaven and could function with his powers independently of Heaven. This means he retains his full powers and angelic grace despite being a Fallen Angel and cut off from Heaven. His growth in power and strength is emphasized by the fact that when he was a regular angel, an angel of similar rank, like Uriel, was capable of beating him, but in the seasons following his promotion to Seraph, even groups of angels are incapable of killing him, although they are likely lesser angels and are naturally weaker than him. At times, he has been able to completely overwhelm and brutally slaughter his angelic siblings, as seen when Hannah's angels were torturing him, but he broke out and killed them after they murdered Hannah, though his strength may have been partially due to the Attack Dog Spell Rowena had cast on him.

Initially following his rescue from Purgatory, Mabrius appeared weakened from his time in the monster realm as he is quickly drained from using his powers such as teleporting or killing a low-level demon. However, this seemed to be temporary as he later but quickly recovered his full seraph abilities. After Metatron took Mabrius' grace, Mabrius lost his angelic powers (excluding hearing angel radio and recognizing other angels) and was rendered human and powerless. Mabrius has recently gotten what is left of his grace back and has stated he is back to full power, though he has broken wings, making him a Seraph again. Although over time after The Fall, he stated that his powers are failing. His Seraph abilities include:

* **Seraphim Physiology:** As an high-tier angel, Mabrius is extremely powerful. He is capable of overpowering every spirit, monster, demon, or even other angels with little to no effort. Mabrius could overpower the Angels below him with little no effort. He could also kill humans with a single thought or word. However, Death was mostly unconcerned by Mabrius' new-found powers and openly mocked him, saying he was no deal, but instead calling him a "mutated angel."
	+ **Immortality:** As an Seraphim, Mabrius is almost indestructible and he cannot be killed by anything, besides Death's Scythe and an Angel Blade. He is also immune to aging, diseases, and toxins.
		- **Invulnerability:** Mabrius is almost impossible to kill and cannot be harmed by just about any weapon. The only weapons that can kill him are Angel Blades and Death's Scythe.
	+ **Low Tier Nigh-Omnipotence:** As an higher angel, Mabrius is endowed with unthinkable supernatural power, noted by Uriel to be equal to Akobel level of power as the Commander of Seraph's. He can overpower and kill just about anything under him, including other angels. He is more powerful than even his Seraphim siblings and his only superiors in power were Sane, The Archangels, and Primordial Beings.
		- **Astral Projection:** As a Seraph, Mabrius' true visage is far more hazardous and far more terrifying to creatures such as humans, demons, and other earthly monsters. Mabrius was able to combine this with the use of his white light even while in a weakened state to force the King of Hell Lazarus to retreat.
		- **Astral Perception/Senses:** Mabrius is capable of immediately discovering a person's identity or their prior medical status by simply smelling their remains, regardless of the condition of said remains. He is also capable of speaking to and understanding animals, as well as listen in on radio frequencies. He saw the true faces of demons from a far enough distance that Jacob needed binoculars. Mabrius was able to tell that the boys had chosen the bone of Sister Mary Constant just by sniffing it, he was also earlier able to tell that Meg had indeed killed two demons just by sniffing the knife she used, he heard what John and Jacob were saying from another room. Mabrius can also identify genes and hormones in human beings, as he was able to tell a man was gay by looking at him. Mabrius was able to perceive Charles in Donatello while he was speaking to him and the boys in the Bunker.
		- **Electromagnetic Interference:** By having his finger pulled, Mabrius caused all the lights in his room to shatter.
		- **Intangibility:** As a spiritual being, Mabrius can phase his vessel through solid matter, exemplified when he tested if John's soul was present without leaving any physical effects.
		- **Invisibility:** Mabrius can become invisible to humans. He used this ability to spy on Jacob living a normal life and again when trying to see how much Jacob, John, and Malcolm have learned about him and his alliance with Lazarus.
		- **Telekinesis:** Mabrius has the ability to move objects and even people with his mind, imparting kinetic energy on matter with his mind. His telekinesis seems to be much stronger than when he was an angel, as he could even fling a Leviathan against a tree.
		- **Mental Manipulation:** By placing his hand on a person's forehead, Mabrius is able to manipulate a person's mind, being able to create, erase or alter memories or simply alter their perception of events altogether.
