| Hades about to show all the God Saints who's the boss |
Name: Hades
Origin: Saint Seiya (original manga, Next Dimension, and The Lost Canvas, also mentioned in Episode G)
Gender: Male
Classification: Olympian Champion, God of the Underworld
Age: Unknown (exists since mythological times, thousands of years at least)
Powers and Abilities: Skilled warrior and swordsman, through divine Cosmo (Big Will) has super strength, speed, durability, telepathy, telekinesis (see the Greatest Eclipse, he could also lift with his mind the Elysion Sacred Vase that God Saints Seiya and Ikki couldn't budge when attacking it at the same time), illusions, energy blasts, forcefields (he could set up permanent ones in big areas, greatly depowering Gold Saints that stepped inside), levitation/flight, deflection of lesser attacks back to his attackers (his aura deflected God Saint Seiya's Pegasus Ryusei Ken attack that could easily beat Thanatos to near death), higher senses to track people and events over long distances and through dimensions, dimensional traveling/portal creation, regeneration (low-godly, Olympian Gods can resurrect even after their death and destruction of their concept), total control over his soul that allows him to keep it out of his true body while retaining power and being able to attack, possess people and reincarnate through mortals, power over death that allows him to induce it in the living, resurrect people or make them immortal, immortality (mix of types 1 and 4) and reality warping (he gave new bodies to the resurrected Gold Saints, created the Underworld afterlife realm governed by his rules that had held and judged humanity's souls since the mythological age, the Elysion utopian world reserved for the just and the God-chosen, and the Super Dimension linked to both of them that contained billions of galaxies and whose path to Elysion as a final barrier could completely destroy Gold Cloths and their wielders despite their durability and capacity to resist telekinesis and matter manipulation). In The Lost Canvas, he showed he could trap the souls of his enemies into illusory Dream Worlds contained inside a special dimension that was ruled by some of his underling deities
Weaknesses: While still very powerful, his soul occupying a mortal body seems to be weaker than Hades with his true body/armor and it's possible to seal it with a divine power higher than his, since he's fond of keeping his true body and Surplice armor stored in Elysion while his soul possesses the body of the purest human being on Earth
Destructive Capacity: At least universe level+ | Multiverse level (the loss of his power through his death destroyed everything he created while undoing the Greatest Eclipse at the same time [Elysion was stated to be an infinite field and the Super Dimension was stated to contain tens of billions of galaxies {at least 20 billion}], also fought against the Titans with the rest of the Olympians for 10 years back when the Titans were unsealed.)
Range: Cross-dimensional/Universal+ | Multiversal
Speed: Massively FTL+ (much faster than Gold Saints, also fought with no trouble against the Bronze Saints when they had acquired their God Cloths)
Durability: At least universe level+ | Multiverse level
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: At least Universe Class+, possibly much higher (can cut God Cloths without difficulty) | Multiverse Class
Stamina: Seemingly endless (his existence sustained his creation for thousands of years at least)
Standard Equipment: Surplice armor (speculated to be his true Olympian Kamui) and sword with their own Cosmo signature
Intelligence: Has years of experience fighting wars against other Gods, most notably the Titans
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Greatest Eclipse: From the Underworld and while possessing Shun, Hades willed all the planets of the Solar System into permanently aligning in a matter of minutes to punish humanity into dying out in a frozen wasteland. Athena couldn't reverse this effect on her own as long as Hades was alive.
- Divine curse: Through his sword, his lingering hate could inflict a spiritual wound (shaped as his sword, invisible except to Gods) that blocks the lifeforce and power of his enemy, induces a coma and eventually causes death through the sword slowly moving into the body of the victim. It was used against God Saint Seiya so he would never reincarnate again and even after the death of Hades it's hard to remove by other Olympian Gods, prompting Athena to attempt to change history in order to save him.
