==Summary ==
Amaterasu is a protagonist in the Marvel vs. Capcom series. One-hundred years ago, Amaterasu sealed away the eight-headed demon dragon, Orochi, but she ended up losing her body due to injuries sustained in the fierce battle. Her spirit was contained within a statue, and she was later resurrected when darkness rose again, although without her Celestial Brush powers. She thus began a journey to restore beauty to Nippon, while also regaining her powers.
In the midst of her journey, Amaterasu would join many heroes and villains from the worlds of Marvel and Capcom to battle against the World Eater, Galactus.

Intelligence: Gifted (Wields a vast variety of weaponry with her divine weapons, which she can efficiently use in a variety of ways. Having existed for at least one-hundred years, Amaterasu should have plenty of experience in battle. Highly respected by fellow god, Thor, for her courageous spirit. Despite her reckless personality, she is a highly skilled fighter who can also understand human language and efficiently cooperate with others, as seen when she teamed up with Ka-Zar, Shanna, and Zabu. Combat-wise, Amaterasu is an extremely versatile fighter. Thanks to her wide array of weapons, she can fight as a rushdown character, a zoner, and even a punisher. Additionally, she is also capable of lockdowns and can perform many anti-air attacks. Finally, she is a formidable team-player, possessing highly useful assists)
