- Superhuman Strength
- Superhuman Durability

- Superhuman Agility
- Immortality: The Amazons were gifted immortality. The people of Themyscira lived forever, though could be killed in war or in an accident. Those who followed Antiope and Phthia and became the Bana-Mighdall lost their immortality.[1]
- Self-Sustenance: So long as Charis stays on Themyscira, she does not require food, water or any other form of nourishment to maintain her health and vitality.[2] Although they are not susceptible to the throes of hunger, this does not mean that Amazons don't consume food for enjoyment. The Amazons frequently hold great festivals wherupon food is served.
Abilities
- Amazonian training: The Amazons honed their skills in many fields, aided by the gifts from Athena and Artemis.
