Powers and abilities:

Strength: Red Raven Comics #1 states that he was trained "to be the strongest and wisest human," while the Handbook says he has "normal human strength of a man of his physical age." Take your pick.
Intelligence: See above.
Abilities: Trained in hand-to-hand combat and arial manuevers. His uniform provides him with additional powers, including flight.
Age: He was born in 1919 (with his 21st birthday in 1940, if the events in Red Raven Comics #1 could be said to have happened during the year of publication), and frozen in a "death-like hibernation" about 20 years before the events of X-Men Vol. 1 #44 (10-15 years ago Marvel time). He looks to be in his late 20's, so he may age slowly thanks to avian science, or other factors may be involved.
Weapons: The Red Raven has been known to use clubs and energy-guns of avian design.
