*Capable of running at speeds exceeding 55 KPH (34.155 MPH). [[Kelly-087]] was capable of running even faster than the rest. In her Mark V MJOLNIR Armor Kelly's top speed was 62 KPH<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], Page 168</ref> (Note: [[John-117]] briefly ran at around 105 KPH (65.205 MPH) during a [[MJOLNIR]] [[MJOLNIR#MJOLNIR_Mark_V|MARK V]] training exercise, however his Achilles tendon was torn because the strain put on his body was unsustainable.)<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], pages 264</ref>

*Unusual regenerative abilities; in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the Master Chief went from unconscious to quickly moving in and sticking a [[Pistol]] into the [[Thel 'Vadamee|Arbiter]]'s mouth, possibly due to the gel layer of armor designed to significantly decrease damage taken from falls.

These current results were only a few months after augmentation, [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]] himself said that the Spartans will only get better as they adjust to the augmentation. Therefore&nbsp;many of the&nbsp;Spartans attributes&nbsp;may have increased through time. These abilities were completely independent of the MJOLNIR armor, which only further augmented the Spartans' unprecedented capabilities. But, the augmentations were deadly or paralyzing, and many of the fourteen year old Spartan candidates "washed out" during these procedures. Further research and improvements in technology lead to future classes of Spartans to have a wider gene pool and smaller risk of fatality.
