Note: The FNORDs of course (for the few who didn't guess) are "Coolest, toughest person in town" and "Able to start simple mechanical devices instantly." (Such as jukeboxes or car ignitions)

Patron (organization he leads)
Unaging
Gizmos x3
Higher Purpose
Legal Immunity 1
Shrinking (Can Carry Objects, Full Move, Full Hit Points)
Super Jumping x5
Temperature Tolerance
Weather Control
Unkillable

Fat
Charitable
Dependant (Wife)
Gluttony
Hidebound
Sense of Duty (Large Group)
Trademark
Weirdness Magnet

Easy, right?

Just checked IMDB. The actress who plays Abby (Pauley Perrette) is 5'10", definitely not small. Mark Harmon, who plays Gibbs, is a whopping 2" taller than her at 6' even.
