The Greek gods didn't have "powers" like superheroes. Atlas was a Titan and the personification of Endurance. He aided in the Titan's revolt against Zeus and was punished by being forced to hold up the heavens on his shoulders.

In some stories, he sees Perseus on his way home from slaying Medusa and asks to see her head. That turns him into stone - which is the explanation for the Atlas mountains in North Africa.
