| “ | I was created to be Zeus’ replacement, born to destroy the lord of the sky. I shall take his throne. I shall take his wife—or, if she will not have me, I will let the earth consume her life force. | „ |

Summary
Porphyrion is the leader of the Giants spawned by Gaea to overthrow the Olympians after they deposed the Titans. Created to battle Zeus, he was only defeated by the combined force of the King of Gods and his demigod son. After Kronos' second defeat, Porphyrion was revived by his mother once again in the present day to lay waste to Olympus.

Origin: Percy Jackson
Gender: Male
Classification: King of Giants, Bane of Zeus/Jupiter, Gaea's Son
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Types 1 and 3), Resistance to Electricity Manipulation and Transmutation (Was only defeated by a direct strike from the Master Bolt and resisted Zeus's other attempts to defeat him)
Attack Potency: Large Country level (Was born to depose of and replace Zeus, could fight him on even footing and was only defeated by the intervention of one of Zeus's children) | City level (Backhanded Percy "like a pesky fly". Is "scarier and more ripped" than Enceladus. Far stronger than demigods)

Lifting Strength: At least Class T (Is the strongest of the giants, and is the bane of Zeus.) | At least Class T (Far stronger than demigods)
Striking Strength: Large Country level | City level

Range: Tens of Kilometers with spear / Planetary with Gaea's aid
Standard Equipment: A six meter-long spear
Intelligence: As a being made to match Zeus, the King of Gods and a mighty warrior, Prophyrion is a skilled warrior, being powerful enough to easily match several demigods at once in his weakened form and leaving veterans like Percy Jackson and Jason Grace, who defeated members of the Titans, uncertain of their chances of victory. He is also pragmatic enough to know when he's beaten, retreating to regain his full power when Hera attempted to obliterate him with the use of her True Form. However, he is insufferably arrogant and a traditionalist, insisting that the Giants take on their designated foes alone rather than fight together.
Weaknesses: Porphyrion is very self-confident and arrogant due to his position as one of the leaders of the Titans.
Note: The idea that only a god and a demigod may defeat him is likely a No Limits Fallacy, and it's far more likely that any sufficiently powerful character would be able to defeat him.
