Powers and Abilities
Sif shares powers common among all Asgardians including enhanced strength, durability and longevity (through the consumption of golden apples). She is also highly skilled in hand to hand combat and proficient in use of cold weapons.
In early appearances, Sif also possessed the innate ability to teleport herself and others from Earth to Asgard. But at some point, Sif began relying on her enchanted sword, which could "cleave" open gateways to other destinations besides Earth and Asgard through a complex array of swinging motions. However, during The Reigning, after Thor failed to truly resurrect a young girl, Sif was once again able to teleport herself and Thor away without the use of her sword.

“At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths—your abilities and your failings.”
