| Gandalf the Grey |
Name: Gandalf the Grey, Gandalf the White, Olorin, Tharkun, Mithrandir, Greyhame, The Grey Pilgrim, Stormcrow, The White Rider, Lathspell, Incanus and likely many others
Origin: Lord of the Rings
Gender: Male
Classification: Divine spirit in a mortal body/wizard
Age: Created along with the other Ainur before the shaping of Arda, basically at the beginning of the universe
Powers and Abilities: Skilled swordsman, ability to create light (either to see in dark places or to blind enemies), telekinesis, immortality (type 1), telepathy, communication with animals, able to harm intangible/dispersible beings, can call down lightning, fire creation and manipulation, a limited reality warping ability facilitated through spoken commands, supernatural senses | All of the previously listed powers at a higher level (stronger than Saruman), as well as supposed immunity from harm by any mortal weapon | Intangibility, non-corporeal, immortality (types 1 and 4), presumably teleportation, soul manipulation, immune to most types of weapons and attacks aside from very high - level spiritual/soul based attacks, as well as all of the powers of the two previous forms magnified to a much higher level
Weaknesses: In his first two forms he can still be killed (but it's significantly more difficult in the second), most of his powers are sealed by the Valar in his first two forms
Destructive Capacity: Possibly building+ level with physical attacks, small mountain level with magic (split the side of the mountain while fighting the Balrog) | Presumably higher | Possibly reaching mountain level (destroyed a mountainside when fighting against Durin Bane), potentially higher (powerscaling from the Maia)
Range: Extended melee range, at least several kilometers for his telepathy, was shown to engulf an entire hilltop in fire pretty much instantly | Presumably higher | Possibly planetary
Speed: Above peak human with at least hypersonic+ reactions via powerscaling | Presumably faster | Unknown
Durability: Small mountain level (as shown in his fight with the Balrog) | Presumably higher, as well as supposedly being immune to damage from all mortal weapons | Almost impossible to kill
Lifting Strength: Superhuman (was able to grapple and physically contend with the Balrog) | Presumably higher | Unknown
Striking Strength: Superhuman | Presumably higher | Unknown
Stamina: Vastly superhuman (fought the Balrog for days on end) | Presumably higher | Effectively limitless
Standard Equipment: Narya, the elven ring of fire, which has the power to "strengthen hearts" and inspire others to resist tyranny, as well as the ability to hide him from forms of remote observation (however it won't work against a wielder of the One Ring), his wizard staff, which he can use to physically fight, as well it seemingly is used to channel/amplify his abilities, the elven sword Glamdring, which is very strong, durable, and sharp, and capable of harming dispersable/intangible beings like Balrogs
Intelligence: Thousands of years of knowledge and experience about many things, including the peoples and events of Middle-Earth, very skilled combatant, as a Maiar his mind is on another level from human beings
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Illumination: Gandalf can create light from his staff to allow him and others to see in dark places
- Blinding Light: This can be focused and concentrated on enemies to temporarily blind and disorient them
- Fire: Gandalf apparently has the power to cause any object to burst into flame remotely, including people. The flammability of the target does not seem to matter - he used it on a bunch of trees which were wet and covered with snow. The fires are much more difficult to put out than normal fires, but Gandalf can put them out at will
- Lightning: Gandalf can call down lightning bolts to strike enemies
- Telekinesis: Gandalf can use this to do simple things, like manipulate the shape of fireworks or smoke rings, or more impressive things such as move and deflect his opponents around or create protective shields
- Telepathy: Gandalf can keep in telepathic contact with allies, gain information from the minds of others, detect and resist mental compulsion (such as that used by Saruman and Sauron), and inspire others to increase their morale. He is also likely capable of offensive telepathy, but the most we have seen of this is when he creates a type of intimidation, causing himself to appear gigantic and threatening to others. It is likely that he would not do more than this due to his nature, even if he is capable of it.
- Communication with animals: He is able to form bonds with and communicate with animals such as the giant eagles and the horse Shadowfax
