Poseidon

> You have disrespected the Gods for the last time, Kratos!

> Poseidon before his fight with Kratos

**Poseidon** is the Olympian God of the seas, rivers, water, storms, tempests, winds, hurricanes, rain, floods, drought, earthquakes and horses. He also is the King of the Oceans and Atlantis. In terms of power, he is surpassed in eminence only by his brother Zeus, with his other brother, Hades, being his equal. He appears as an ally in the Greek Gods vs The Real World and a major antagonist in *Season 2* after Arkhe.

## Powers and Abilities

Poseidon is one of the most powerful of the Olympian gods, second only to Zeus, and surpassing Hades. It is notable that Poseidon could have single-handedly bested the Titans, having downed two of them and making short work of Gaia, had Kratos not intervened. It should be noted that his power seems to be in direct proportion to the amount of water nearby. During the Second Titanomachy, Poseidon was strong because he had access to the sea, but once Kratos separated him from it, he was more vulnerable. This would explain why Poseidon resorts to using lightning instead of water during the first Titanomachy.

### Powers

* **Atmokinesis:** As the God of the sea, Poseidon possesses the power to manipulate water, storms, and lightning, able to create strong waves and violent storms to bring the rage of the ocean upon those who anger him. Atmokinesis breaks down into several abilities.
	+ **Cryokinesis:** Poseidon can manipulate and control ice.
	+ **Hydrokinesis:** Poseidon can manipulate and control water, ranging from tidal waves and whirlpools to a watery construct in his image. Since water does not retain a shape, it is clear that Poseidon's control over water is not only immense but precise, in retaining the size and shape of his Titan form.
		- **Eco-Hydrokinesis:** Poseidon has complete control over the element of water. He can control all the water in the world.
		- **Water Breathing:** Poseidon can breathe underwater.
	+ **Electrokinesis:** Poseidon can generate and manipulate electricity. He used this power to help Hades in defeating Atlas. He bestowed Kratos with a small portion of his electrokinetic power. He uses his trident to shoot bolts of electricity at Kratos and Gaia.
		- **Hydro-Electrokinesis:** Due to his control over the seas and its storms, this accounts for Poseidon's electricity-based abilities.
* **Immortality:** As a god, he is immortal and can live forever. Like his brothers and the other Olympians, Poseidon doesn't age and is not affected by time, only divine weapons, other Gods, and Titans can kill him.
* **Flight:** Poseidon was able to propel or accelerate himself through the air with great speed and force.
* **Power Granting:** Poseidon can grant powers to his followers, as shown when he gave Kratos the power of Poseidon's Rage. He also gave the Redeemed Warrior great resilience, allowing them to sustain massive amounts of damage before death as well as the power to use the waters of the deep to aid them in battle by creating Walls of Water and even creating Sea Storms right in the midst of battle without being near a source of water, with these waters they are able to heal themselves and allies. Poseidon also grants his followers the use of Cryokinesis, allowing them to create large spires of ice and even freezing opponents to crush them.
* **Shape-Shifting:** He could reform himself into a massive, elemental form resembling a Titan. This form, in his own image, was entirely water-based, with rocks forming details on his chest and head. In this form he is at his most powerful, with all of his powers and strength greatly augmented. However, his measure still pales in comparison with the Titans.
* **Regeneration:** He can regenerate himself. When you chop off one of several Hippocampi hands (sting/tentacles) and do not do further damage to it, it will regenerate again.
* **Teleportation:** As the ruler of Atlantis, Poseidon can teleport to anywhere via sea and water.
* **Astral Projection:** Poseidon was able to project an image of himself to communicate with Kratos.
* **Plague Creation:** Poseidon was able to create a plague to infect the village of Thera to encourage Herodius to search for the Ambrosia.
* **Superhuman Strength:** His Titanic form also primed his already great strength, allowing him to pound Gaia and Kratos with great force.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Poseidon can withstand great attacks before submitting to defeat, and due to his Warriors possessing great durability as well, he should be far more durable than Ares. In fact, his durability was likely only matched (or surpassed) by his brothers Hades and Zeus.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Poseidon's energy and vigor in combat are far greater than that of mortal men, enough to fight the Titans, though he can be defeated.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Poseidon has a higher jumping capacity than mortals. It is unknown if his agility was on par with that of Hermes.
* **Invincibility:** When in the waters of the deep, Poseidon is invincible, and all of his attributes are multiplied greatly. However, the farther away he is from the sea, the less of his "true" power he can exhibit. This was the case with his battle with Kratos, as they were several miles away from the sea at the battle.
* **Hippocampi Control:** In elemental form, below his waist a large jet of water coming from a rock formation was maintained, with Hippocampi protruding out of it, which Poseidon used actively in his battle with Gaia and Kratos. He could also control them even without his elemental form, but the creatures themselves are smaller, one even managing to wrap around his forearm; this is seen when the gods looked down from Mount Olympus to the climbing Titans below. He can even use the Hippocampi as makeshift arms to battle Kratos and Gaia.

## Weapons

* **Poseidon's Trident:** Trident was Poseidon's primary weapon and one of his primary symbols it was a gift from Cyclopes after Zeus, freed them from Tartarus.
