**Athena** (*Athena Parthenos*) is an Olympian. She was worshipped by the humans of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire as the goddess of wisdom, war, tactical warfare, and heroic endeavor.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Olympian Physiology:** Olympians are a humanoid race of extra-dimensional beings that hail from the pocket dimension of Olympus. All Olympians, including Demeter, possess certain superhuman physical attributes and abilities, including:

* **Superhuman Strength:** Athena possesses superhuman strength that is substantially greater than the average Olympian goddess and somewhat greater than the average Olympian god. Whereas the average Olympian male and female can lift 30 and 25 tons respectively, Athena can lift about 35 tons.
* **Superhuman Speed:** All Olympians have the potential to run and move at speeds much greater than the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** The musculature of all Olympians produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of human beings. The average Olympian can exert themselves at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue impairs them.
* **Superhuman Durability:** The skin, muscle, and bone tissue of all Olympians are about three times more dense than comparable human tissue. Thus, the bodies of all Olympians are known to be more resistant to physical injury than the bodies of humans. They are capable of withstanding great impact forces, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and falls from great heights.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Despite their natural durability, it is possible for an Olympian to sustain injury. However, when injured, they are able to recover with superhuman speed and efficiency. As with most of their own powers, the speed and extent of this varies from one individual to another. Most Olympians are unable to naturally regenerate missing limbs or organs.
* **Immortality:** Unlike Asgardians, all Olympians are allegedly true immortals, and they cease to age upon reaching adulthood and cannot die by conventional methods. Despite their immortality, it was revealed that Olympians have to consume Olympian Ambrosia, the nectar of the Gods, to remain virile and deathless.
	+ **Disease Immunity:** Their bodies are immune to all known Earthly diseases.
* **Omnilingualism:** Due to the Allspeak, all Olympians can communicate and be understood in all languages.
* **Shapeshifting:** Athena can disguise herself as any animal or human on Earth to infiltrate mortal interference. She once disguised herself as a mortal government agent to track down Amadeus Cho during his search for the truth of his parents' deaths.
* **Power Bestowal:** Athena has the ability to empower other beings. She empowered the mortal Prince Argive, who struck a blow on Ares so powerful that it nearly killed him.
* **Flight:** She can fly at great speeds.
* **Invisibility:** She can render herself and other beings invisible from mortal eyesight.
* **Illusion Manipulation:** Athena can create illusory images.
* **Animation:** She can animate inanimate objects.
* **Matter Transmutation/Appearance Manipulation:** She can control the shape and form of objects or people. She has also used this power to change from her regular mortal attire into full battle armor.
* **Precognition:** Athena also bears the gift of foresight, which she used to predict the birth of Amadeus Cho.
* **Energy Blasts:** Athena can project powerful and destructive mystical energy bolts.
* **Portal Generation/Interdimensional Teleportation:** She can cross the distance between dimensions and create portals to teleport herself and others.
* **Conjuration/Summoning:** She can materialize objects, including summoning them from an unknown location.
* **Cosmic Awareness:** She possesses a degree of cosmic awareness that renders her nearly omniscient when using it.

**Sorcery:** Athena's magical abilities are likely on part with the Enchantress and Ares.

### Abilities

**Gifted Intellect:** As the Olympian goddess of wisdom, Athena has devoted a great deal of time throughout the centuries to studying and mastering many areas of knowledge, including all fields of non-technical science.

**Strategy and Tactics:** Athena is also the Olympian goddess of war strategies, making her extraordinary at combat both armed and unarmed and is a highly competent military strategist who is even superior to her half-brother Ares.

**Armed Combat:** She is a master of the weapons used at the time of Ancient Greece and Rome, including the sword, spear, and shield.
