Inherent Noah abilities:[]
Natural command of all Akuma: All Noah have the ability to command Akuma to do whatever they want, both verbally and telepathically.The extent of this influence is so complete that Noah can command Akuma to self-destruct, even if it is against the Akuma's will.
Akuma Blood Oil Immunity: Though they are human, Noah are immune to the poisonous effects of Akuma blood oil, though it is noted by Jasdevi that it tastes terrible. Road however likes the taste of Akuma Blood Oil.
Physical Prowess: It was shown that even without training, Noah are naturally able to physically endure things that would fatally injure regular humans. This is only enhanced for the Noah fighters who can easily overpower trained humans and even take on several exorcists at once.
Noah's "Memory": The driving force behind the will that all Noah feel, it creates their thirst for blood and their hatred of Innocence and those who wield them, and, when a Noah is in a life threatening situation, it awakens their full potential, increasing their power and stamina dramatically.
Familial Empathy: Noah are able to sense when a member of their 'family' dies, a situation that seems to sadden the Noah within them, as shown when Skinn Bolic died and Tyki was unable to explain why he was crying. Road, who was also crying at the time, explained that Noah was crying.
Dark Matter abilities: All Noah members have their special abilities based off Dark Matter, which grants them each a unique and powerful ability, making them deadly fighters. This also makes them vulnerable to Innocence, but at the same time, allows them to destroy Innocence by merely touching one. They can also use dark matter in a more mundane way to shoot dark matter blasts .
