Unlike in previous games where Abilities had cooldowns, Spider-Man 2 requires players to engage in combat to recharge abilities. After using an Ability, continue to attack enemies or defend against enemy damage to charge up abilities. Once enough attacks have been dealt, abilities will show when they are ready to be used again.
Depending upon when an ability is activated, the recharge rate for that ability will begin as soon as you get into combat. The rate at which an ability recharges will be the same for each ability and the only difference of when you can use an ability again is tied to which one was activated first.
