Ares

Ares's powers and abilities

Enhanced Senses: Ares was able to sense how Kratos retrieved Pandora's Box while being dozens of miles away from the Desert of Lost Souls.

Immortality: As a God, Ares was innately immortal; neither aging beyond his prime nor succumbing to mortal frailty such as disease or impotence of any sort. He could not be slain by earthly weapons; only divine forces and weapons such as the power of Hope, Blade of the Gods or other immortals such as Titans could slay him.

Flight: Ares was seen flying down from Olympus when Kratos called for his aid.

Superhuman Strength: As a God of War and Zeus's firstborn son, Ares has immense levels of godly strength, which allows him to be able to crush buildings effortlessly, make the ground shake by stomping and fight with Kratos after he was strengthened by Pandora’s Box on equal terms.

Superhuman Durability: Ares possesses incredible durability as a God of War. During his battle with Kratos, he withstands an immense amount of punishment from him including being impaled his own back protrusions which only infuriated him more. Ares also shows to be very resistant even against divine weapons like Blade of the Gods although he was ultimately killed with said weapon.

Power Bestowal: Ares was able to grant the chosen warrior with a large variety of abilities and weapons, a power common among the Gods. It was he who gave Kratos his original blades, the Blades of Chaos. He also granted the Redeemed Warrior, if he chose to follow him, the highest amount of attack power as well as the ability to empower their weapons with fire to burn enemies.

Pyrokinesis: Ares possessed the ability to manipulate fire, in every way possible. Ares was able to infuse it in his weapons, throw fireballs from his hands, and ignited people at will. Ares often used that ability to kill those who opposed him. Ares also used it in an aesthetic way, as his hair and facial hair were made of fire. Ares could also create homing fire projectiles in the shape of hounds.

War Embodiment: As the original God of War, Ares was the embodiment of War itself and was able to draw power from it. In combination with his other abilities, Ares was able to lay waste to huge armies with little-to-no effort. When he died, Ares' body exploded like a nuclear bomb.
