- Enhanced Senses (Born blind, Stick gained extremely accurate senses through lifelong training. His awareness could be used to perfectly navigate through complex environments and track down people with great ease. He taught this method to his student Matt Murdock.[1] Stick's hearing was highly refined and allowed him to identify the people around him. His hearing, however, seemed to be somewhat less acute than Murdock's, due to Stick having to ask the latter about the exact number of men that Nobu Yoshioka had brought with him, but it is possible that he was just testing Murdock's senses. Nevertheless, his hearing was sharp enough to tell that Murdock had arrived in his location and Hand ninja were no longer using their swords despite being considerably far away. Stick was also able to hear that Iron Fist's heart rate slowed when charging his Chi. He felt the silk sheets in Matt Murdock's apartment just by feeling the air[1])
- Analytical Prediction (Just like Matt Murdock, he can use his senses to anticipate behavior and attacks.[4] He used this against a young Murdocks' attacks, predicting them by feeling the air pressure generated from his punches[1])
- Information Analysis (Can use his senses to discern many details, such as when he managed to identify a resurrected Elektra solely from her scent, and could tell a woman was recently in Matt Murdock's apartment. Using his profound gustatory senses, he can also detect sugar grains, vanilla bean, milk from three different dairies from two states, a batch of chemicals "straight off the periodic tables" and dirt off the vendor's hand just from his ice cream cone[1])
- Preparation and Poison Manipulation (Stick can create a poisonous gas which can subdue Luke Cage and Danny Rand without resistance, though it requires much time to create and couldn't be used in a combat scenario[5])
- Healing (Accelerated Recovery; Stick is able to accelerate the healing process of wounds through meditation. He can also make remedies to heal fatal injuries, as when Elektra was seriously wounded and badly poisoned by the Hand, Stick created an unorthodox antidote out of toilet bowl cleaner, whiskey and baking soda to effectively neutralise the deadly poison that infected her bloodstream. The method, while very painful, was still effective and able relieve her of the poison and heal her wounds)[3]
- Supernatural Willpower (Can withstand brutal torture from the Hand[6] and even sliced off his own hand to break free from a post he was handcuffed to[7])
- Limited Resistance to Poison Manipulation (By taking an antidote, Stick was left unaffected by the poisonous gas he used against Luke Cage and Danny Rand[5])

Can quickly analyse his surroundings and opponents through his enhanced senses. Both Matt Murdock and Elektra would later become highly skilled combatants themselves under Stick's tutelage. Even when bound by handcuffs to a post, Stick easily took down both a resurrected Elektra and Alexandra Reid, disarming them of their weapons with a well-coordinated headbutt and kicks.[7] Stick would later fight Elektra again in a sword battle and even had a chanced to kill her, but chose not to.[5] He is also knowledgable in healing remedies for fatal injuries, can create unorthodox antidotes to poisons and is a master physician[3])
