Hermes (Riordan Books)

**Hermes** is the Greek god of roads, travel, loads, gymnasiums, athletes, diplomacy, orators, thieves, commerce, trade, and invention. He is the messenger of the gods. His Roman counterpart is **Mercury**.

## Powers

As a son of Zeus, Hermes is an extremely powerful god. Due to vast influence and countless domains, Hermes draws on the worship and powers greater than most, if not all, gods except for the Big Three.

**God Physiology:** It is presumed that he has the standard powers of a god.

* ***Immortality:*** As with all gods, Hermes is immortal and cannot be killed through conventional methods.
* ***Superhuman Strength and Stamina:***Hermes has great physical prowess, as shown when he lifted Chelone's entire house and hurled it at her, turning her into the first turtle.
* ***Teleportation:*** Hermes can teleport to any location in a puff of smoke, as well as take other people and objects with him while teleporting.
* ***Shapeshifting (presumably)***
* ***Divine Form (presumably)***
* ***Levitation (presumably)***
* ***Telepathy (presumably)***
* ***Bilocation (presumably)***
* ***Power Bestowal (presumably)***

**Enhanced Speed:** As the God of Travel and Messengers, Hermes is extremely fast and can travel at supersonic speeds, faster than most other gods due to his winged shoes.

**Transformation quirks**

**Super regeneration :** hisato copied this quirk from number 6. Super regeneration has the ability to regenerate any sort of injuries on hisato's body, such as missing limbs, at incredible speeds. it is considered an incredibly rare and dangerous quirk, thanks to it's capabilities of making any of its users near invincible, able to recover from almost any attack.

**Manifest:** hisato copied this quirk from tamaki amajiki. Manifest grants hisato the ability to enhance his limbs with the characteristics of anything he consumes. hisato can manifest certain traits of any food he's eaten while it's still active within his digestive system. for example, if he eats takoyaki, he can transform his fingers into octopus tentacles and if he eats a clam, he can harden his hands into a clam shell, etc. multiple simultaneous manifestations of different foods are also possible. the more substance is eaten, the stronger the manifestations will be; this quirk technically has no upper limit to it's potential.

**Genetic Alteration:** hisato copied this quirk from an unknown former user. genetic Alteration allows hisato to transform into an entirely different entity, steal others genetics, grow a different number of limbs, or become stronger. whenever he transforms into a different entity his personality slightly changes.

**Predator vision :** hisato copied this quirk from an unknown former user. predator vision allows hisato to transform both of his eyes to have black sclera and red pupils. this grants him the ability to better perceive movement, see footsteps with greater clarity, see through darkness and "ping" targets to better track them.

## Abilities

**Mutant quirks**

**High Spec :** hisato copied this quirk from nezu. High Spec grants hisato unparalleled intelligence, perception, and comprehension that far surpasses that of any human. due to his unfathomable intelligence, hisato is capable of instantly formulating incredibly intricate strategies. the same intellect also grants him flawless leadership skills.

**Shock absorbtion :** hisato copied this quirk from the USJ nomu when he was still human. Shock absorbtion gives hisato the ability to reduce the effectiveness of physical blows by absorbing the shocks produced by them.

**Life Force :** Life Force allows hisato to double his life span, causing him to age at a much slower rate, making him look much younger than he really looks. this is why hisato looks as if he's still only a teenager when he really is 100 years old.
