| God of Death (don't like this guy as much) |
Name: Thanatos
Origin: Saint Seiya (original manga and The Lost Canvas)
Gender: Male
Classification: God of Death
Age: Unknown (exists since mythological times, thousands of years at least)
Powers and Abilities: Skilled warrior, through divine Cosmo has super strength, super speed, enhanced durability, telepathy, telekinesis, forcefields, energy blasts, teleportation, levitation/flight, dimensional travel/portal creation,illusions, astral projections, immortality (type 1 at least) and powerful cross-dimensional clairvoyance (he knew the identity and location of Seiya's sister the moment that information became relevant to him as well as knowing Pandora had betrayed them). In The Lost Canvas he showed transmutation (he turned chess pieces into giant foes for a Gold Saint), capacity to fight as a disembodied soul that could possess people and attack their souls, power to warp space, creating small pocket dimensions he could transport to other realms, power over death to manipulate souls, grant immortality to others and reanimate corpses, could empower other beings
Weaknesses: Underestimation of humans can make him reckless
Destructive Capacity: Universe level+ (he's above mid Gold Saints in raw power)
Range: Universal+ (his attack could travel across the Super Dimension)
Speed: Massively FTL+ (quintillion times; his attacks could cross the Super Dimension in mere moments)
Durability: Universe level+ with Surplice (the strongest techniques from late series Bronze Saints going all out did minor or no damage to his body and armor, the same attacks that destroyed the Pillar of Poseidon that could endure the destruction of the universe), ignores absolute zero
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Class Universal+
Stamina: Large, potentially limitless
Standard Equipment: Surplice armor with its own Cosmo signature
Intelligence: Skilled combatant
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Death Blasts: Thanatos can torture or kill living beings with invisible energy blasts that reach them shortly even if they are billions of galaxies away or in another dimension.
- Terrible Providence: His most powerful attack, Thanatos blasts his enemies with a powerful Cosmo sphere. It could completely destroy a Gold Saint and scatter him throughout the universe. Along with the power of the blast, it inflicts an illusion of the body being torn to pieces to induce insanity in case of survival. In the original manga it was casually stopped by God Saint Seiya, in The Lost Canvas by a seal of Athena's blood.
The Lost Canvas only:
- Tartarus Phobia: Summons from Tartarus (an older afterlife independent to Hades) the spirits of the victims of Thanatos to attack the bodies and souls of his enemies.
- The Path of the Gods: Thanatos overlaps the environment and his enemies into the Path of the Gods (also called the Super Dimension in the original manga), a plane where spacetime across countless lightyears is distorted by divine forces, creating pressures that almost immediately target and obliterate any intruders lacking godly power or protection, like Gold Saints.
