Tore out "Prime" All Might's guts and nearly killed him during their first one-on-one fight.

Becoming noticeably much stronger after being rejuvenated to his teenage years, even compared to the "Prime" state he had in the past. Being able to easily overwhelm all the Pro-Heroes and hero students who were initially able to fight him in his "Prime" state. Capable of unleashing attacks that one-shotted both Gigantomachia, and Fumikage's "Dark Shadow" while in "Total Release")
Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Kept up with "Weakened" All Might), Speed of Light attack speed via "Radio Waves" Quirk ("Radio waves" are electromagnetic radiation that travels at the speed of light) | Sub-Relativistic (Comparable to "Prime" All Might) | Sub-Relativistic (Comparable to his "Prime" state from the past), likely far higher (Noticeably much faster than in his previous "Prime" state.

Stamina: Extremely High (Shouldn't be anywhere below his nemesis, All Might, who during his "Prime" state could perform hero work for more than "72 hours straight")
Range: Standard melee range, Unknown via "All For One" Quirk
- Breathing Mask (Two different models): With part of his head obliterated by All Might in the past, during their first one-on-one battle, All For One had to rely on respirators to keep his weakened and injured body alive. Which is why, when in his "Weakened" state, he was seen wearing two different models of breathing masks, meant to help him breathe when under the strain of battle. The first model was used during the "Kamino Incident", and the second was used during the battle at the ruins of Gunga Mountain Villa in the "Final War Arc".
- Rewind Drug (Based on Shie Hassaikai's "Quirk-Destroying Drug" sample): This drug was created and given to him by Dr. Garaki, prior to his capture and imprisonment by the Pro-Heroes, to be one of his final tricks to play in the "Final War Arc". Once activated, it replicates the rewind effect of Eri's Quirk on his body, allowing him to instantly heal from any potential injury.
Intelligence: Gifted to Genius (Having been around for more than a hundred years, and aiming to become the greatest "Demon Lord" of all time for as many years, he is a tactical and strategic mastermind without equal. Having devised countless plans and schemes throughout his life, all with the aim of ensuring that his goal would ultimately be achieved, with numerous backup plans and countermeasures up his sleeve, should his plans fail or he be betrayed. Being able to easily manipulate and influence those who can be beneficial to his plans, through the sheer understanding of their emotions and mindset. Having also easily predicted the outcomes of his imprisonment in "Tartarus", All Might's retirement, as well as Endeavor's rise to the No. 1 Pro-Hero position, without any help from outside his cell)
Weaknesses: In order to steal or give away a Quirk, he must first make physical contact with the person. After being mortally wounded by All Might, he became completely blind, and therefore has to rely on his other senses and Quirks to fight someone properly now. The injuries he suffered after the fight with "Prime" All Might, also greatly weakening his powers and limiting his once "infinite" potential. Because of his sadistic tendencies, he prefers to emotionally destroy his victims first, before killing them. The "Lie Detector" Quirk won't work if the people he's talking to are brainwashed by another Quirk, as was the case with Shinso's Quirk and Aoyama's parents. Once he activates the "Rewind" effect of the modified "Quirk-Destroying Drug" given to him by Dr. Garaki, his body will continue to rejuvenate to the point of non-existence. The speed of its "Rewind" effect will also increase in response to any injuries he may sustain while in this "state". According to Hawks' report, the more he is rejuvenated by the drug's effect, the more emotionally unstable he becomes and the more unable he is to control his "negative emotions".
