Intelligence: Gifted. As a former street rat, Jafar survived on his wits and cunning for years until he became the Grand Vizier of Agrabah. He can read one's character and use it to his advantage as demonstrated with the wise and pacifistic Sultan and the noble thief Aladdin and he has good common sense and remarkable insight as he knew something was wrong about Prince Ali and was the second to realize he was an impostor through the maps and also realized the only way Aladdin could survive his cave-in was through the lamp (which he realized Abu stole) and as such he used it to become a prince. He recruited Aladdin through using his own origins to empathize his place. Even without his magic, Jafar proved to be very adaptable upon his escape as he used his street smarts to steal the lamp from Aladdin.
Weaknesses: Extremely power-hungry and obsessed with the idea of never being second to anyone, which can be used against him. His hypnosis only works if the user focuses on the red eyes of his staff. If the victim is interrupted, the pawn can revert to their consciousness. Has to rely on his staff for some of his spells. As a Genie, he is forced to abide to certain rules and can be sealed in his own lamp.
