There's nowhere you can hide, Spartan. Put as much distance between you and the truth as you want, it changes nothing. Pretend to be everything you are not: teacher, husband, father. But there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape: You cannot change. You will always be... a monster.
~ Athena to Kratos

Summary

Athena is the goddess of war and Wisdom, and the deuteragonist of the God of War series, mostly appearing as an ally of Kratos.

Of all the Gods on Mount Olympus in the God of War series, Athena is arguably the least selfish and is in fact, very noble. As displayed not only by her deep love for her people and her horror of Ares' siege on Athens but her deep concern and love for the rest of humanity - as in God of War III she states that she intends to "liberate" mankind with the power of Hope.

Upon her death, however, Athena ceased to have these traits as she ascended to a higher realm and ended up being corrupted by the powers contained within said realm, and began to plot to take over the lower realm.

Powers and Stats

Tier: Low 1-C | Low 1-C

Key: Olympian | Higher Existence

Name: Athena

Origin: God of War

Gender: Female

Age: Thousands of years old.

Classification: Deity, Greek God, Olympian God, Goddess of War & Wisdom

Powers and Abilities:

Resistance to the following:

  • Disease Manipulation (All the gods are unfazed by the disease that plagued the entire world when Hermes died in God of War 3)
  • Illusion Creation and Perception Manipulation (Olympians can easily see through illusions and hidden pathways, as well as translate the murals within the chamber containing Pandora's Box)

All previous powers at a higher level, including:

  • Incorporeality (Attained this state after her resurrection)
  • Intangibility and Abstract Existence (Type 1) (Upon dying and shedding her corporeal flesh, Athena ascended to a higher state of existence as per above, beyond even the abstractions that are the Primordials and the denizens of the Underworld, whose Form makes up a part of their existence, effectively ascending far above everyone else in the Greek World. She cannot be interacted with by any mortal or god, including Kratos,[2] despite the latter being able to absorb and destroy souls and even concepts like the Primordials. Kratos was only able to kill her with the Power of Hope, which he ultimately refused to do out of pettiness and anger towards her, and to give humanity a second fighting chance to thrive without the Gods[2])
  • Restoration and Statistics Amplification (Restored her corroded Blades of Athena into the brand-new Blades of Exile[2])

All previous resistances at an inconcievably higher level


Attack Potency: Low Complex Multiverse level (Portrayed as comparable to her brother Ares) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Because of her sacrifice to save Zeus, she had ascended to a higher level of existence[2] and gained higher power[2], having ascended to a higher plane than everyone else across all pantheons and worlds,[17] each of these pantheons being their own reality or group of realities)

Speed: Infinite (Should be comparable to her brother Ares. Also shown to be somewhat on par with Hermes) | Infinite (Should be far faster than she was as an Olympian)

Lifting Strength: Immeasurable (Her telekinetic abilities were able to pull Kratos back while he had the powers of Pandora's Box. Portrayed as comparable to her brother Ares) | Immeasurable (Unfathomably more powerful than she ever was before)

Striking Strength: Low Complex Multiverse level (Comparable to Ares) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Because of her sacrifice to save Zeus, she had ascended to a higher level of existence[2] and gained higher power, having ascended to a higher plane than everyone else across all pantheons and worlds, each of which being their own reality or group of realities)[18]

Durability: Low Complex Multiverse level (Comparable to Ares) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Because of her sacrifice to save Zeus, she had ascended to a higher level of existence[2] and gained higher power, having ascended to a higher plane than everyone else across all pantheons and worlds, each of which being their own reality or group of realities)[19]

Stamina: Superhuman

Range: Universal+ (Gods are present across their domains, which at the minimum span all of space and time[20]), Low Complex Multiversal via Summoning (Summoned Hope and then placed it in Pandora’s Box alongside the Great Evils as a failsafe if the Great Evils were to ever escape again. Hope itself supersedes the Primordials, who permeate the entire reality of the Greek World) | Unknown (Should at least be as high as before, if not higher), at least Interdimensional (Is able to freely travel between other Pantheons and their Realms, as shown in God of War: Fallen God)

Standard Equipment: Two swords

Intelligence: Genius (She has been described as the embodiment of wisdom.[3][4] Has manipulated Kratos and several other Gods through the events of God of War I, and Kratos once again in God of War III. After ascending to a higher existence, Athena states that she can now see truths that she previously couldn't[2])
