As an immortal god, Poseidon possesses vast strength and endurance. His physical capabilities are superior to those of the majority of Olympian gods. He has virtually inexhaustible stamina, and does not tire appreciably after any exertion. Like all Olympians, Poseidon is immortal, possessing a life essence that can not be ended by any conventional means. He can be wounded in battle, but his godly life force gives him incredible recuperative abilities. He can fully recover from penetration wounds (such as by knife, sword, or bullet) in anywhere from minutes to hours, depending on their severity. Only an injury of such magnitude that it incinerates him or disperses a major portion of his bodily molecules could cause him physical death. Poseidon commands all the power of the seas, enabling him to manipulate everything from weather patterns, to whirlpools and ocean currents, to sea vegetation. He also uses his trident to fire powerful energy blasts.
