Zeus (Deity)

**Zeus**, also known as the "**Skyfather**", is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Ultimate Ragnarök* series created by David Jaffe and Scott Phillips. He was the Olympian God of the Sky, Thunder, and Lightning.

"*My Brothers, we were forged in victory. A victory that ended the Great War and brought forth the reign of Mt. Olympus. Born from the depths of the Underworld, rooted to the River of Souls, our mountain emerged out of the Chaos. As it grew, so too did the might of the Olympians. We created a world of peace, a world of prosperity, a world that lives in the shadow and safety of my mountain. A mountain that has come to be the absolute measure of strength and power. Now, on this day, that power is to be tested. First Hera, and now the creators of the Ultimate Ragnarök, seeks to destroy all that I have wrought. But we have faced far worse than traitors and fallen mortals. We are the gods! We who the mortals worship. We who rule over this land. We who will not be swept aside by petulant fools! Brothers, put aside the petty grievances that have splintered us for so long. We will unite. We will stand together. And I will wipe out this plague! Olympus... will prevail!*"

—Zeus, to his fellow gods, Poseidon, Hades, Helios and Hermes.

## Abilities and Powers

As the King of Olympus, Zeus was arguably the most powerful of all the Olympians, more so than even his brothers Poseidon and Hades, despite being the youngest of his siblings. His power is great enough to challenge Kratos to a greater degree than any other God. In his Astral Form, his power is greatly increased to the point he destroyed Kratos's equipment and easily overpowered Kratos; only yielding to the power of Hope that his son held within.

His actions on the mortal world are confined by the will of the Fates, and even he did not dare face all the other gods on Olympus when they banded together.

### Powers

* **Olympian Physiology**: As the son of Zeus, he has immense power.
	+ **Immortality**: As a God, he was immortal and can live forever. Like his brothers and other Olympian deities, Zeus did not age and is unaffected by time or succumbing to mortal frailty as sickness or impotence of any kind, he could not be killed by earthly weapons; only divine forces and weapons like the power of Hope, the Blade of Olympus or other gods and Titans can kill him.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Zeus possessed immense levels of superhuman durability that he was tremendously durable but ultimately proved not to be invulnerable. He was able to withstand extreme punishment from Dante or Kratos in all their fights and could still stand up and flee in their first fight and survive long enough to access his Astral Form after a much harsher beating from his son in their final fight. It should be noted that during his battle with Kratos at the Summit of Sacrifice, Zeus was stabbed repeatedly by the Blade of Olympus by Kratos, yet Zeus was able to survive, unlike other deities who fell to the Blade's power in a single strike, such Athena and Cronus.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Zeus had tremendous amounts of superhuman stamina, able to fight Kratos for an extended period of time without ever slowing down.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Zeus possessed incredibly immense levels of godly superhuman strength. He could easily overpower almost anything in Creation and was strong enough to challenge Kratos for an extended period of time.
	+ **Remote Viewing**: Zeus was capable of remotely viewing events happening miles away and sensing the prayers of the Greeks.
	+ **Telepathy**: Zeus could enter the minds of others to communicate telepathically or project memories.
	+ **Telekinesis**: Zeus could manipulate objects through telekinesis. His telekinetic aura was colored light blue and glowed around the objects he telekinetically manipulated.
		- **Flight**: Zeus was capable of hover, flight and levitation at amazing speeds.
	+ **Advanced Electrokinesis**: As the God of Thunder, Zeus could generate and manipulate powerful lightning bolts at will to an unrivaled degree. He is able to generate extremely powerful and fast Thunderbolts that can shatter huge mountains and kill Titans. His Thunderbolts were strong enough to nearly kill Kratos, forcing him to trick Zeus to stop him. In his Astral Form, his Thunderbolts were strong enough to destroy almost all of Kratos's equipment. In addition, Zeus can manipulate lightning to empower his attacks, move faster, generate a lightning shield and cause an explosion of electrical energy.
		- **Electrogenesis**: Zeus is able to physically create and project electricity from his hands as bolts of lightning. In moments of anger, his eyes glowed blue and shot tiny volts of electricity.
		- **Teleportation**: Zeus was capable of teleportation, manifesting himself through lighting strikes or bright flashes of light. When Zeus uses this ability to leave elsewhere, it also leaves a rain of electric charges behind, only to appear seconds later somewhere else.
	+ **Portal Creation**: Zeus while under his Grave Digger guise, created a portal for Kratos to travel out of the Underworld.
	+ **Atmokinesis**: As God of the Sky, Zeus was capable of manipulating and control over parts of the weather that involved storms, allowing him to generate thunderclouds or create a tornado. He can combine clouds with his electricity to make his lightning much more powerful, to the point that a single spear of lightning was able to blast down Kratos and Gaia and destroy the latter's arm.
		- **Supernatural Concealment**: By covering Electra and Heron's village in dark clouds, he was able to shield them from Hera's sight.
	+ **Chlorokinesis**: Zeus was able to conceal Alexia in a bush of blue roses to hide her from Seraphim.
	+ **Regeneration**: Zeus could regenerate from almost any wound. He can heal even from wounds inflicted by other godly power and Kratos’s blades back with relative ease. Ironically, the Blade of Olympus, a weapon of his own creation can kill him, but he can heal from non-fatal wounds inflicted by it.
	+ **Shapeshifting**: Like all Olympians, Zeus could alter his size and shape at will. He made himself look as the oldest of the Olympians, despite actually being the youngest of his siblings. He could also transform himself, taking the form of a giant eagle as well take the form of a human such as King Periander, or grow hundreds of feet tall. He even created and assumed the identity of an old man, the Grave Digger, to keep watch over Dante in secret.
	+ **Wildness Manipulation**: Zeus can control or influence the behavior of animals, allowing him to calm wild animals, as seen when he induced a bear to nurse Kratos.
	+ **Summoning**: Zeus was able to summon a legion of creatures to fight at his side, examples are the Siren Widows he used to fight Kratos.
	+ **Sealing**: Zeus was able to collect all the evils of the world and seal them inside of Pandora's Box.
	+ **Animation**: Zeus was able to harness Kratos' godly powers, and use them to bring the Colossus of Rhodes to life.
	+ **Power Bestowal**: Zeus is capable of granting powers to others, as shown when he bestowed the Redeemed Warrior should he chose to follow him with immense magical attack power and mana reserves and regeneration, supernatural enhancements to their equipment, and great electrical powers that allow them to control space as they drape the playing field with electricity, forcing their opponents to scatter in all directions as well as disable their abilities for a time. He also gave Kratos the power to shoot powerful thunderbolts.
	+ **Astral Projection**: Zeus was able to project an image of himself to communicate to Kratos and grant him the power to use his thunderbolts.
	+ **Power Absorption**: Zeus was able to drain power from other beings in order to strengthen himself, as shown when he drained Gaia's heart of her power.
		- **Duplicate Creation**: After absorbing Gaia's heart, Zeus was able to create duplicates of himself that are much weaker but could use many of his attacks.
	+ **Astral Form**: After he was almost killed by Kratos, Zeus displayed the power to manage his soul "to a higher existence" in means of overpowering his son and channeling the evils fueling his body, although Athena reached that potential before the evils managed to consume her. In this form, Zeus was able to easily overpower Kratos and even destroy almost all of Kratos's equipment and was only defeated by Kratos tapping into the Power of Hope.
		- **Mind Imprisonment:** In his astral form, Zeus was able to fill Kratos with so much fear that he imprisoned himself in his own mind.
	+ **Power Removal**: Zeus was able to strip Prometheus of his Immortality. Also, as the King of the Gods, Zeus can remove the powers of other gods at will, as shown when he stripped Kratos of his godly powers.
	+ **Weapons Forgery**: Zeus had the ability to create powerful divine weapons. The most powerful weapon he has ever created was the Blade of Olympus, which is what he used in during the first Titanomachy.

### Abilities

* **Master Combatant**: Zeus, having centuries of fighting experience, was a highly capable fighter, extremely skilled in using his weapons but he is also an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant. His skill allowed him to challenge Kratos on almost equal footing for an extended period of time before losing.
