Being reliant on time energy to survive, Angels can be 'poisoned' by time energy that has been strongly corrupted, such as by the creation of a paradox.

Even a somewhat weakened Angel can still be restrained by conventional means like chains.

If starved of time energy for long enough become physically weak and decrepit, able to move only one or two steps at a time- though this process typically takes hundreds of years.

The obvious weakness of freezing in the sight of living creatures- most dangerous of all is if two Angels look at each other simultaneously, freezing them both forever.

Likewise controlled 1930s Manhattan including setting up a human 'farm' of time energy.

Preyed on unsuspecting humans for years in contemporary London, even fooling the Doctor and sending him back to 1969.

Walked through hails of bullets unfazed.

Have survived as a species since almost the dawn of the universe.

Can 'steal' the voices and personas of human victims to trick other unsuspecting lifeforms.

Physical strength to easily snap human bones.

Powers to tamper with or even shut off lights altogether, allowing them freedom to move out of sight.

Power to project their consciousness through images taken of themselves.

Extremely fast when in their unfrozen state- once shown able to climb down a church and cross a city street in the literal blink of an eye.

Touch can send other lifeforms back into the past, often far enough that they will be dead in the present, whilst the Angel gains energy from their 'stolen' days of life.

It's even been suggested all conventional attacks may fail if the Angels truly are 'locked out' of time itself when in their statue forms, explaining why they have been apparently unkillable for so long.

Powers of 'quantum locking' turns them instantly to stone in the sight of any living creature- renders them innocuous in casual appearance and immune to physical attacks such as bullets.

Described also by the Doctor as 'the only psychopaths in the universe that kill you nicely.'.

One of the most idiosyncratic and fearsome monsters encountered in the Doctor Who universe.

Age: 'As old as the universe, or very nearly' according to the Tenth Doctor.
