### Voiced By (Foreign)

Unknown

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

He was also the youngest child of the Titan King, Cronus, and Rhea. All of the infant gods, including his siblings were eaten by Cronus out of fear of a prophecy that one god (his own or not) is destined to overthrow him one day.

Thankfully, Zeus was saved from the fate, thanks to his mother's trickery against her husband, and secretly grew up to manhood in secrecy until the time came for him to save his siblings and all the world's gods from Cronus.

From then the Gods engaged the Titans into a cataclysmic conflict that would shape the world. Victorious thanks to all the combined efforts and the Blade of Olympus, Zeus banished the Titans into the pits of Tartarus for eternity.

After the war, he and the other gods, including his fellow siblings would decide the fate balance of the world as fair equals. Zeus would ultimately get the lion's share by taking Cronus' throne and to be the King of Olympus.

"*All immortals, even I included... are at times... powerless. We're all not infallible.*"

—Zeus.

## 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 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**:
	+ **Conceptual Embodiment**: As a God, he is considered the embodiment of the Sky, Thunder, Lightning, Storms, Hospitality and Heavens.
	+ **Immortality**: As a God, he was immortal and could live forever. Like the other Gods in his world, 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 mortal weapons.
	+ **Teleportation:**: Zeus was capable of teleportation allowing him to disappear in thin air, manifesting himself through lighting strikes or bright flashes of light, leaving a rain of electric charges behind, only to appear seconds later somewhere else.
	+ **Regeneration**: Zeus could regenerate from almost any wound. He can heal even from wounds inflicted by other godly power back with relative ease.
	+ **Invulnerable**: Like all Gods, Zeus was invulnerable and couldn't be harmed by regular weapons.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Zeus was tremendously durable. He was able to withstand extreme punishment in all his fights and could still stand up and survive long enough after a much harsher beating from the king of demons. It should be noted that during his battle at the Summit of Sacrifice, Zeus was beaten repeatedly by Versago's claws, yet Zeus was able to survive, unlike other deities who fell to the beast's rampage and might in a single strike, such Cronus.
	+ **Remote Viewing**: Zeus was capable of remotely viewing events happening miles away and sensing the prayers of the Olympians.
	+ **Telepathy**: Zeus could enter the minds of others to communicate telepathically or project memories.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: As a god, Zeus had incredibly tremendous amounts of superhuman stamina and could be able to keep fighting for an extended period of time without ever slowing down or tiring.
	+ **Flight**: As gods are capable of flight and levitation, Zeus could hover and fly at amazing speeds.
	+ **Telekinesis**: Zeus could manipulate objects through telekinesis. His telekinetic aura was colored light blue and glowed around the objects he telekinetically manipulated.
	+ **Atmokinesis**: As the God of the Sky, Zeus was capable of manipulating 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 Surtur and destroy a hostile Rock giant's arm during Ragnarök.
		- **Supernatural Concealment**: By covering Electra's village in dark clouds, he was able to shield them from enemy sight.
	+ **Advanced Electrokinesis**: As the God of Thunder, Zeus could generate and control powerful lightning bolts at will to an unrivaled degree. In moments of anger, his eyes glowed blue and shot tiny volts of electricity. 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 Versago Zeus could generate powerful lightning bolts at will. In addition, Zeus can manipulate lightning to empower his attacks, move faster, generate a lightning shield and cause an explosion of electrical energy.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: As a god, Zeus could run at extremely fast speeds. He could move as fast the lightning he commands. As demonstrated in his battles, Zeus was able to evade attacks with the speed of lightning, appearing behind his opponent to strike.
	+ **Limited Chlorokinesis**: Zeus was able to conceal Alexia in a bush of blue roses to hide her from Lucifer.
	+ **Shapeshifting**: As a god, Zeus could alter his size and shape at will, taking the form of an eagle and King Periander. He even created and assumed the identity of an old man to keep watch over Dante and Electra in secret.
	+ **Summoning:** Zeus was able to summon a legion of creatures to fight at his side, examples are the Siren Widows he used during Ragnarök.
	+ **Sealing**: Zeus was able to collect all the evils of the world and seal them (along with Pandora) inside of Pandora's Box.
	+ **Transformation**: Judging from Lucifer calling Kratos the "flawed creation of Zeus" in genuine hatred, it's very likely Zeus cursed him into his current form out of punishment.
	+ **Animation**: Zeus was able to harness and bring objects such as statues like the Colossus of Rhodes to life.
	+ **Power Bestowal**: Zeus is capable of granting powers to others, 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.
	+ **Astral Projection**: Zeus was able to project an image of himself to communicate to those like Kratos and Dante, and grant him the power to use his thunderbolts.
	+ **Power Absorption**: Zeus was able to drain power from other beings that are defeated in order to strengthen himself, as shown when he drained Ymir's remains of his power.
		- **Duplicate Creation**: After draining a demon's power, Zeus was able to create duplicates of himself that are much weaker but could use many of his attacks.
		- **Mind Imprisonment**: After draining Typhon's power, Zeus was able to imprison Hel's wicked personality deep inside her subconsciousness.
	+ **Power Removal**: Zeus was able to strip Surtur 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 Adamas 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, forged from the heavens and the earth, which is what he used in during the war against the giants and their allies.
	+ **Prayer Empowerment**: Zeus used to gain power from mortals praying to him, which is similar to the other gods and titans.

### Abilities

* **Hand-to-Hand Combat** (Advanced): 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.
* **Weaponry**:

### Weaknesses

* **Divine Harms**: While Zeus is immortal, only divine forces and weapons like the powers of Pandora's Box, the Blade of Olympus, other gods, Titans, or Primordials could harm and kill him, however.
