## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Olympian Physiology:** Apollo possesses the conventional superhuman physical attributes of an Olympian god, including:

* **Superhuman Strength:** Apollo is substantially stronger than the average male Olympian and is capable of lifting about 50 tons.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Apollo is capable of running and moving at much faster speeds than even the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Apollo's highly advanced musculature produces substantially less fatigue toxins during physical activity. As a result, he can exert himself at peak capacity for several days before fatigue begins to impair him.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Apollo's body is superhumanly resistant to physical injury. He is capable of withstanding high caliber bullets, great impact forces, piercing and cutting from weapons, and falls from great heights without sustaining injury. Among the Olympians, his durability is surpassed only by his siblings Ares and Athena. His durability is due, in part, to the fact that his skin, muscles, and bone tissues are about three times as dense as similar human tissue. This also contributes to his superhuman weight.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Should Apollo suffer injury, his highly efficient metabolism allows him to heal with superhuman speed and efficiency. However, Apollo is unable to regenerate missing limbs and organs.
* **Immortality:** Like all Olympians, Apollo is truly immortal and cannot die by any conventional means. He has not aged since reaching adulthood and is immune to the effects of aging.
	+ **Disease Immunity:** He is immune to all Earthly diseases and infections.
* **Energy Manipulation:** Apollo can manipulate great amounts of solar energy for numerous purposes, including:
	+ **Heat/Light Generation:** He is capable of generating great heat and light equal to a small sun.
	+ **Shapeshifting:** He can change his shape at will.
	+ **Healing:** He can use his powers to rapidly heal the injuries of other living beings.
	+ **Power Bestowal:** He can direct his energies into granting superhuman powers to other living beings.
	+ **Dimensional Teleportation:** He can teleport himself across dimensions.
* **Precognition:** Apollo can mentally foresee events of alternate realities and predict them with a certain amount of accuracy.
* **Reality Manipulation:** Apollo has a limited ability to affect reality, as he was able to decree that nobody would believe Cassandra's prophecies.
* **Omnilingualism:** Like all Olympians, Apollo can communicate in all languages and dialects of Earth due to the Allspeak.
