Hekate (Marvel Comics)

**Hecate**, also known as **Hekate**, is one of the Titans who lived on Olympus and ruled the ancient world before Zeus conquered it. As a Titan, Hekate predates Zeus and the twelve Olympians, and she also predates humanity like all Titans. When Zeus conquered Olympus, Hekate was one of the Titans he spared. He allowed her to keep her title as Goddess of the Underworld. However, when Pluto instead chose to take Persephone as his wife, Hekate retaliated by becoming the Goddess of Magic, Witches, and Witchcraft.

## Powers

**Titan Physiology:** As a Titan, Hekate possesses all of the conventional abilities attributed to Titans and Olympians, including:

* ***Superhuman Strength:*** Titans possess vast levels of superhuman strength and can lift over 100 tons effortlessly without using their other abilities to amp their strength.
* ***Superhuman Speed***
* ***Superhuman Stamina:*** The highly advanced musculature of a Titan produces almost no fatigue toxins, granting them almost limitless physical stamina in all activities.
* ***Superhumanly Dense Tissue***
* ***Superhuman Durability:*** A Titan's body is highly resistant to physical injury. They are capable of withstanding high caliber bullets, falls from great heights, powerful energy blasts, and extreme temperatures and pressures without sustaining injury. They are also capable of surviving, unprotected, in the vacuum of space for a brief period of time. Their resistance to injury surpasses that of many Olympian gods.
* ***Regenerative Healing Factor:*** Despite their great resilience, it is possible to injure a Titan. They are capable of recovering from injuries with superhuman speed and efficiency. However, they are unable to regenerate missing limbs or organs and would require magical assistance to do so. Titans are also immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections. They are also highly resistant to most drugs and toxins but can be affected if exposed to great quantities.
* ***Immortality:*** Titans are immortal beings and can live indefinitely. They cannot die a natural death and are immune to diseases and ailments. They can be killed, however, by powerful forces or special conditions.
* ***Energy Manipulation:*** All Titans have the potential to wield magical or cosmic energies. These powers are mostly limited to changing their appearance or shape and teleporting across great distances.
	+ ***Shapeshifting:*** Hekate can change her shape at will.
	+ ***Energy Bolts:*** She can project energy bolts.
	+ ***Thought Manifestation:*** She can pull images from the minds of others and make them real

**Magic:** All Olympians possess specific skills associated with their area of expertise. Because Hekate is the Goddess of Magic, she is the greatest sorcerer of all the Olympians, second only to Zeus. Her skill in magic is so great that she was capable of warping reality around the entirety of Brooklyn and its inhabitants single-handedly without any artifacts required. This is something that even Loki, Enchantress, or Hela of the Norse Pantheon could achieve without aid.

Her godly expertise in sorcery has spanned throughout time even before humanity's existence due to the fact that she's a Titan. She is capable of pulling off any magical feat that has been displayed by other Olympians that have expertise in other areas and have inferior skills in magic, including:

* ***Power Bestowal:*** She can grant superhuman powers to objects and beings.
* ***Worship Empowerment:*** She can hear the prayers of her worshippers.
* ***Physical Augmentation:*** She can augment her own physical capabilities.
* ***Possession and Inanimate Possession:*** She can possess poeple or objects to act through them.
* ***Interdimensional Teleportation***
* ***Supersonic Flight***
* ***Matter Manipulation***
* ***Force Fields***
* ***Energy Blasts***
* ***Invisibility***
* ***Weather Manipulation***
* ***Elemental Manipulation***
* ***Animal Manipulation***
* ***Telepathy***
* ***Mind Control***
* ***Cursing***
* ***Resurrection***
* ***Reality Warping***
