Generally, giants lack any real supernatural abilities, but they can have the same ability to learn as, for example, humans, and some have truly impressive powers.

Humbaba (American Dad) was an ancient sumerian giant and the guardian of the Cedar Forest where the gods lived.
Lubella the Witch of Decay, (Momodora) is a giantess so large that only her head, shoulders, and bust can fit on-screen.
While a doctor, Gerd (One Piece), is still said to be a capable warrior, as befitting for Elbaf Giant.
Yorl and Yarl (One Piece) were both some of the oldest Giants to have ever lived (over 300 years old), and some of their greatest warriors.
Varying in size, the height of Gem Fusions (Steven Universe) depend on the size of the gems that make them up, ranging from human-sized to titanic.
