Attack Potency: At least Small Building level (Can harm Shang Tsung with physical strikes, claimed to have fought the Great Kung Lao [who was said to have stood a chance against him] and previous bearers of the Nightwolf mantle) likely Large Building level+ (Despite losing to lesser kombatants, he is also depicted to be stronger than the average kombatant. After being strengthened by Kronika, he punched Raiden in the face and threw him several meters away, visibly harming him. In Aftermath, he deflected a combined attack from Shang Tsung and Fujin without any prior boosts save for his own ability to grow stronger), higher with more deaths (Geras grows noticably stronger after each death, being able to shrug off attacks that were previously able to harm him)

Singlehandedly killed all of the Shaolin monks in their temple [if an intro dialogue between Liu Kang and Geras is to be taken as canon]. Also claims to know several historical figures in Earthrealm's history such as Joan of Arc, Wyatt Earp, etc.)

|-|Abilities=
*Immortality: As a fixed point in time, Geras is capable of resurrection & regeneration thanks to his time powers. Because of this, he has lived through the birth and deaths of many timelines that were restarted by the Hourglass' power. He has seen many historical events and met many historical figures in each timeline without any signs of deterioration.
**Resurrection: Upon death, Geras will rewind time and reverse any damage and effects done to him prior to his demise.
**Regeneration: He also possesses a potent healing factor that allows him to recover from wounds and injuries. He'll regenerate faster if the wound or injury sustained is less severe, as he was able to quickly heal from multiple soldiers shooting his chest with fully automatic assault rifles and several slashes from a combat knife.
*Sand Manipulation: Geras has the ability to control sand, just like his mistress and creator: Kronika. He can produce fine grains of sand from his body to generate sandstorms, create shifting sands on his feet that moves him around akin to a skateboard and patches of sand that can act as trap abilities.
**Weapon Creation: By hardening sand into sedimentary rocks, Geras can form sandstone weapons that are lethal to his opponents. He can create rock swords, crushing sand hammers, gold/metallic gauntlets and a cozy bed of sand spikes. He can even summon massive walls of quicksand that he uses to push people into them before ripping them out of it.
**Earth Manipulation: With a wave of his arm, Geras can summon a rock slide on his opponent's feet to topple them off balance.
**Teleportation: Geras can transform his body into pure sand and dissipate himself before reforming somewhere else. This acts as a teleport of some sorts.
**Deconstruction: If necessary, Geras can disintegrate whatever he touches into sand.
**Invisibility: Geras can turn invisible by disappearing from sight with his sand powers. He appears to turn into sand before disintegrating when this ability is used.
*Time Manipulation: Coming soon...
