Hawk Moth is able to control the body of akumatized person or thing.

Like Ladybug's ladybug and Cat Noir's cat Miraculous, Hawk Moth's Butterfly Miraculous grants its miraculous holder incredible physical abilities like superhuman strength, speed, agility and make him near-invulnerable. But in all the episodes of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir that have been released till date, we have not seen Hawk Moth fighting directly with anyone, although he rarely fights directly with anyone. But Hawk Moth is shown to be fast enough to fight off his mansion's defense system in the episode "Robostus" and, as we saw in the episode "Mayura (Heroes Day - Part 2)", he is enough to fight with both Ladybug and Cat Noir because, Hawk Moth is a capable sword fighter. Even without being transform into Hawk Moth, his Miraculous allows him to feel emotions, whether positive or negative. Unlike Ladybug and Cat Noir, due to being an adult Miraculous holder, Hawk Moth can stay transformed as long as he wants after using his powers and this make him unbeatable.


Akumtization : Hawk Moth has the ability to turn anybody into a supervillain with the help of his akuma(charged butterflies with dark energy) with his/her negative emotions (human or anything which feel emotions) and grant them a wide variety of superpowers or special abilities. Once an Akuma has infected a thing belonging to his victim directly, Hawk Moth can transform them into an Akumatized villain to fulfill his wish and this powers are distributed by his Akumas.

Telepathy : When the Akuma possesses something belonging to the victim and  akumatized someone, they become telepathically connected to Hawk Moth, Whenever he akumatized someone with an akuma, a bright pink butterfly-shaped outline appears in front of his face, through which he can see and communicate with his victim and provide instructs them to achive his goal.

Hologram Projection : Hawk Moth can pullout the Akuma of any villain he akumatized and put them into a coma-like state to create a hologram of himself that he can use to communicate with a large group of people.


Miraculous tool : Like all other Miraculous holders, Hawk Moth also wields a special tool a cane in his case which is Hawk Moth's primary weapon in battle and acts as a swordstick which contain hidden blade inside it. The stone on the cane can also store a akuma for when Hawk Moth needs to use it. Like other Miraculous tools, it also acts as a communication device. Hawk Moth is shown to be incredibly skilled person to use both the sword and the cane itself in battle, fighting off his own security system in "Robostus" and dueling with Ladybug and Cat Noir on multiple occasions. 


High Combat Proficiency : As we seen in "Mayura (Heroes' Day - Part 2)" episode, Hawk Moth is a highly skilled fighter, given that he successfully managed to defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir with nothing but his bare hands only.


Power Ups of Hawk Moth : Unknown


Hybrid Forms of Hawk Moth :

There are many hybrid forms and power ups of Hawk Moth. Hawk Moth miraculous holder can transform into a hybrid  form of Hawk Moth by combine two or more miraculouses together. This hybrid form can provide him different powers and abilities, which will be more powerful than normal Hawk Moth, like Shadow Noir, Shadow Moth, scarlet Moth and Monoarch


Shadow Noir : 

Shadow Noir possesses a black bodysuit and Shadow Noir wields an infinitely expanding and indestructible metal staff Cat Noir's weapon. In this form, Shadow Noir can infuse his hand with a dark of cataclysm(a destructive energy) which allow him to instantly destroy anything or anyone he touches with that hand.


Shadow Moth : 

As a result of unifying with the repaired Peacock Miraculous, Shadow Moth can manifest Sentimonsters (creatures born from his victims' emotions) alongside Akumatized villains. He can shape these Sentimonsters in any way he wants and grants them specific powers, or molding them into exact duplicates of other people. By extension, he can create Sentimonsters for himself and directly speak through them.


Monarch : 

Monarch can create hyper-realistic illusions that he is able to see and speak through, including a giant hologram of himself. But this illusions will disappear if touched.

Shell-ter : This Monarch form of Hawk Moth can create shield to protect himself or something else he wants, such as his hologram and shields are nearly impervious to damage and able to increase or decrease size.

Burrow : This Monarch form of Hawk Moth is able to view all events of the past, future, and present. To views these events he create portals into a pocket dimension and from there, he is able to transport himself to any point in history.

Venom : After fused with Bee Miraculous, he has a Spinning top into his hand, Monarch can surround his fist with energy in the shape of a bee stinger, which will instantly immobilize anyone he touches with it.

Usage of multiple Miraculous tools : In addition to gaining all the powers Miraculouses, Monarch also has access to all of their individual tools, and can use them in combat.


Weaknesses :

Hawk Moth's miraculous gives all the powers to Hawk Moth, but Hawk Moth's miraculous is also his biggest weakness because like other miraculous, if he is removed his miraculous from him, Hawk Moth will be powerless.


Akumatized villain : Akuma is a great help to the Hawk Moth, but when Hawk Moth akumatize teenagers or young children, they often focus on their goals avoid following Hawk Moth's command.

Limitations of Akumatization : Due to the limits of Hawk Moth's powers, Hawk Moth can only create one Akuma at a time, which prevents him from akumatize as many people as he wants. If his akuma decide to akumatize someone himself, then Hawk Moth can't control it.

Physical Limitations : If Hawk Moth stay transformed long enough, Hawk Moth become extremely exhausted as compared to ladybugs and other super heroes.

Adrian Agreste : The Hawk Moth is overly protective of his son and even shuns his goal to avoid hurting his son. However, in the alternate timeline where the secret identity of Adrian/Cat Noir is revealed, Hawk Moth doesn't think of it all and tries to obtain Cat Noir's ring by any means.


All this proves that the Hawk Moth's strength and abilities are unlimited if he is transformed into a hybrid form it became more powerful. With this, Hawk Moth miraculous becomes one of the most powerful Miraculous in the Quantic Universe. But this not only depends on the miraculous, it depends on both miraculous holder and miraculous which make a miraculous super strong. If we talk about the normal form of Hawk Moth, in which there is no hybrid form, then also it is really hard to defeat Hawk Moth easily because Hawk Moth do not detransform into civilian form after use of his powers, many times we have got to see this in episodes as well.
