 * "I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I will never fail."
 * —The Philosophy of the Navy SEALs (3x20)

Abilities
Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett went to Annapolis and spent five years in Naval Intelligence and six years with the Navy SEALs. His superiors say that he is the best that they have ever seen, according to Governor Jameson.

According to Savannah Walker, Steve was a celebrated quarterback, a standout at the Naval Academy and a decorated Navy SEAL who saw action around the globe.

McGarrett has been compared to GI Joe, James Bond/007 twice, Tarzan, Aquaman, Superman thrice, Larry Wilcox, Erik Estrada, Robert Duvall's Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore (Season One), Sergeant Slaughter, Spider-Man, Speed Racer, Sherlock Holmes, Muscles (Season 2), Martha Stewart, Skipper, Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz, Tom Selleck's Magnum P.I. (Season 3), Harry Houdini, Ranger Rick, a Jedi, Jacques Cousteau, a member of the Beatles (Season 4), Morgan Freeman's Hoke Colburn, Captain America, McGruff the Crime Dog, Strippergram (Season 5). Kamekona sees Steve as a great warrior, and Danny refers to him as "the danger magnet." Lou Grover commented that Steve is a survivor. Catherine never worried Steve wouldn't survive being trapped under a building.
 * Peak Human Condition: As a Navy SEAL, Steve McGarrett is at the peak of human physical condition, shown to be very muscular and resilient. Victor Hesse referred to McGarrett as "tough," and Danny Williams compared him to GI Joe and James Bond. When he played football, he "shattered" all of Chin Ho Kelly's records; the latter at the time was reportedly a "legend," and even admitted to McGarrett having a "beautiful" play in the state championship. Skeet referred to him as "tall, dark and uptight," and then he promptly bested him in a game in basketball. Chin Ho Kelly referred to him as "Tarzan." Danny also referred to him as Aquaman.
 * Peak Human Strength: McGarrett was strong enough to hang Sergei Ivanovitch off the roof of the Kaliko hotel and throw a Serbian thief over a railing. He easily pulled Joey over a counter.
 * Peak Human Durability: Danny Williams punched McGarrett in the face, without causing an exclamation of pain. Later on the Emma Karl, McGarrett quickly recovered from getting shot in the left shoulder and continued to fend off Victor Hesse.
 * Peak Human Speed: At the International Market in Waikiki, McGarrett caught up with Manu Sapolu's murderer despite running into several obstacles. When he played football, he preferred to run rather than passing, stating "Why pass when you can run?" Danny even says McGarrett simply walks fast. He eliminated Wo Fat's attackers in less than ten seconds. He told Lou Grover that he moves fast, as well.
 * Peak Human Agility: In his football days, during the state championship, McGarrett leapt over a rival player. While chasing Victor Hesse on the Emma Karl, McGarret leaped from one cargo box to another. Another time, he scaled a picnic table to tackle down a running suspect.
 * Peak Human Stamina: Steve can endure prolonged sessions of torture.
 * Peak Human Reflexes:
 * Peak Human Senses: Max has stated Steve's olfactory receptors are quite exceptional.
 * Master Martial Artist: McGarrett is a master of hand-to-hand combat, being compared to a ninja by Danny Williams. Shortly after meeting Williams, he quickly took him by the hand and put him in an arm bar. He also recognized Kono Kalakaua's right cross, and later fought off Victor Hesse on the Emma Karl, although he lost the upper-hand twice against him (though the second time he suffered a shot to the left shoulder). He quickly and quietly dispatched a Serbian thief at Dillingham Air Field, even throwing him over a railing before exchanging fire. He overpowered Boriero in hand-to-hand combat despite Lori Weston's instructions, and even dislocated his shoulder. He defeated Wo Fat and her henchman even while being tortured.
 * Master Marksman: McGarrett shot and killed Anton Hesse after gunning down several soldiers. Later, when trying to find Victor Hesse on the Emma Karl, he shot one of Hesse's guards from far away with just a pistol and then accurately shooting Victor in center mass to send him falling backwards into the ocean. McGarrett killed a criminal with one shot at Dillingham Air Field, and is also shown to be familiar with bullets, recognizing the SS-190 armor-piercing rounds at the crime scene of Roland Lowry's car. Joe White has commended Steve's outstanding grouping. In an alternate reality, he shot Wo Fat facing upside down.
 * Expert Acrobat: McGarrett is capable of feats of agility and parkour. He free-ran over colliding cars when chasing Fred Doran. At Dillingham Air Field, McGarret leaped from a second floor and descended down by grabbing a chain while shooting a criminal.
 * Expert Diver/Swimmer: McGarrett, due to being a Navy SEAL, is a highly skilled diver and swimmer. Steve is also a naturally skilled spearfisher, as he took home six fish on his very first time out. Kamekona bet on Steve against Lou in a contest to catch the biggest fish based on experience and local knowledge.
 * Stealth: At Dillingham Air Field, McGarrett, Williams and Kelly quietly snuck into the building where Kono Kalakaua, Roland and Evan Lowry were being held hostage.
 * Gifted Intelligence: He was able to tell Governor Jameson was a politician who needs the public relations was willing to do whatever it takes, including bringing McGarrett down to Pearl Harbor where his grandfather was killed, so he might feel some kind of obligation to fulfill his family destiny, disguised as offering him a leadership position for a task force. He recognized Danny Williams' patent leather loafers and Roland Lowry's car windows being made of density-layer ballistic glass, laminated onto a shield of resilient polycarbonate. He has seen super-grade level cryptography before. He's also familiar with different types of sharks.
 * Master Tactician: McGarrett is a tremendously skilled strategist. Ellison stated McGarrett has great instincts, and that a man with his skill set deserves to be compensated. He disabled the governor's security cameras before breaking into her house.
 * Expert Leader: McGarrett was chosen by the Governor Jameson to run the Hawaii Five-0 Task Force, being provided with full immunity and means and the task force would have full blanket authority to go after guys like Victor Hesse and get them off Hawaii.
 * Expert Investigator: McGarrett is a very perceptive detective, with Danny Williams sarcastically referring to his detective work as "stunning." He found and photographed Jovan Etienne's partial boot prints (knowing it wasn't Hesse's size and that he gets his footwear custom-made, direct-injected polyurethane mid-sole with a nitrile rubber outsole) and using dusty methods to locate palm prints in the study at his father's house (in place of a computer, deducing it was not his father's due to his hatred for computers, also knowing the prints he found did not match Hesse's), and also finding a key and a recording of his father in his toolbox. He was able to deduce that Danny Williams moved to Hawaii to be close to his daughter, which meant he participated in in between visits, and all he had was his job and he took pride in it, all based on his fold-out bed and ringless finger. He used his detective skills to locate Chen-Chi in Fred Doran's house, and figured out WIlliams' wife left him because he is very sensitive. In the Kahiko hotel, he noticed a small amount of blood on an elevator button to alert him a runner used it to go up, and forcefully retrieved a bloody fingerprint from Sergei Ivanovitch (a Serbian national) on the roof, simultaneously seeing the blue star tattoo he had on his hand and knowing it was a New Belgrade Serbian Mafia tattoo so he could implement intimidation tactics. Later, at Roland Lowry's residence (where Williams referred to him as "Inspector Obvious), McGarrett found a hidden room, and soon realized his skeleton key was used to take down the Honolulu approach radar so someone can fly in or out undetected. After a football game shooting, McGarrett recognized one of the shooters' 14K tattoo and deduced he was a Triad enforcer, and used his deduction to conclude the Triads were sending a message. He also noticed Billy Omana's holster's safety strap was off at the time of Walton Dawkins' escape, meaning he left it intentionally open in exchange for Dawkins giving him $50,000. He knew Fallon was cheating on his wife based on a tanline he saw on his finger indicating he takes his ring off to cheat with his secretary.
 * Expert Interrogator: McGarrett used his linguistic skills to peacefully learn from Chen-Chi that she was smuggled in a cargo ship from China with her parents and a couple hundred refugees to Hawaii, and traded to Fred Doran, leading him to believe the people that are moving people out of Asia could have smuggled Victor Hesse into Hawaii. When interrogating Sang Min, McGarrett threatened to inform the former's wife and son of his true criminal career, demonstrating his knowledge of their whereabouts, as well as threatening to have his wife and son sent back to Rwanda (and possibly a refugee camp) while his son would join the Hutu Militia. He offered to prevent all that in exchange for Victor Hesse's location. On the roof of the Kaliko hotel, McGarrett hung Sergei Ivanovitch off the roof and threatened to lie about the latter's death, knowing he was only going to talk out of fear of death. Danny Williams was absolutely positive McGarrett had the CIA's book on advanced interrogation techniques on his bedside table.
 * Expert Networker: McGarrett, as an experienced soldier, superbly uses a dense network of professional and social contacts to further both his military and police detective ambitions. This is notable through his influence of Naval Intelligence, the police, Coast Guard, Bruddah's private security firm, General Nathanson at Hickam Air Force Base and Interpol. McGarrett reached out to Chin Ho Kelly, who had ties to Kamekona Tupuola, who had ties to the criminal underworld, to receive the name Sang Min and arrange a meeting to interrogate him in order to find Victor Hesse. As a favor for Danny Williams, McGarrett reached out to the Governor in regards to his custody issue, forcing his ex-wife to drop her petition. He had Catherine Rollins access an IKON reconnaissance satellite to give him a visual on Walton Dawkins' black Mercedes, requesting her to classify it as an NSA request from a black ops drop box to avoid any complications.
 * Skilled Scientist: McGarrett also possesses scientific knowledge. He knew how to mix iodine with metal to form binary salts, and also knew that any metallic objects that were left in the Samoans' pizza boxes had left trace elements behind, applying iodine to make it appear and finding bullets. His obscure knowledge came in handy when he knew myristicin, a drug-like organic compound with psychoactive properties and in large doses it's lethal and fast-acting, could be extracted from nutmeg, which was in Walton Dawkins' cell, leading him to deduce he poisoned an inmate. He also knew Graham's Clonazepam was an antipsychotic sometimes used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. Steve blew up a slab of concrete by flattening his water bottle to create a directional charge (sending explosive energy in one direction) to protect everything behind it. He let a water pipe flood the torture room so he could electrocute it once Wo Fat stepped in.
 * Skilled Physician: McGarrett knows how to check a pulse, and he can also reinflate a collapsed lung. He also knows how to administer CPR, as he saved Luke Preston's life even after he overdosed on a combination of alcohol and benzodiazepine. He also knows the dangers of untreated wounds especially when near jungle germs, seeing them as a "breeding ground" for bacteria; leptospirosis, necrotizing fasciitis, staph infection, fungal infection. He removed a piece of rebar from Danny's leg and disinfected the wound with peroxide to prevent sepsis from setting in.
 * Skilled Pilot: McGarrett can fly a helicopter.
 * Multilingualism: McGarrett is fluent in English, Hawaiian, Chinese Mandarin, and Japanese. He communicated with Kamekona Tupuola in Hawaiian and in Chinese with Chen-Chi.
 * Indomitable Will: Shortly after meeting McGarrett, Danny Williams came to the conclusion that the former was not afraid of anything. McGarrett defended Anton Hesse even while knowing of the danger his father was in. Catherine Rollins has stated Steve won't take "no" for an answer. Steve believes fear is a state of mind, and you got to fight through it. Ian Wright described Steve as "gallant."
