Poseidon Aegaeus

Poseidon Aegaeus (ポセイドン・イーガエウズ, Poseidon Īgaeusu), is both a fictional character and deuteragonist of the Marvelous DC's Justice Avengers series created by Gardner Fox and Jack Kirby. He is the Olympian God of the Seas and Water, and ruler of the Oceans.

He is worshipped by both the Ancient Greeks and the Atlanteans alike as "Father Neptune" (父なるネプチューン, Chichi Nepuchūn), the protector of all waters. Over the centuries, he has had a strong influence in the mortal world, as sailors relied upon him for safe passage.

Considered as the most ill-tempered of the Olympian Gods, Poseidon is known to be vengeful one when being insulted. He is also a hot-blooded deity amongst them, and has had many disputes with both many gods and men, most famously with Athena and Odysseus.

"The Old Ones nearly destroyed humanity as they prepared the way for the most powerful of their number, the Great Icthultu." "But King Poseidon gambled that they could be stopped."
 * —Dr. Fate and Aquaman, discussing of Poseidon Aegaeus.

Powers

 * Olympian Physiology: Poseidon belongs to a race of ancient and inconceivably powerful beings known as the Old Gods. Because of this heritage Poseidon possesses almost unlimited power.
 * Cosmic Awareness: Poseidon, like all Gods, is aware of the multiverse and the realms that lie beyond. This knowledge gives him an understanding of the universe and all life that transcends the capabilities of normal mortals.
 * Flight:
 * Immortality: As an Old God worshipped by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and like all Olympians, Poseidon is immune to the effects of aging. He has not aged since reaching adulthood and has lived for at least millennia. He cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections.
 * Self Sustenance: As the Olympian God of the seas, Neptune is capable of breathing underwater and his body is able to withstand the extreme pressure and temperatures at the bottom of the ocean. Neptune is able to breathe both air and water.
 * Invulnerability: Poseidon's body is highly resistant to physical injury. He is capable of withstanding great impact forces, temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury. He can endure hits from the likes of Aquaman and Wonder Woman even while in a weakened state.
 * Metamorphosis: Poseidon is able to shift his physical form at will, as shown when he disguising himself as a regular human for years.
 * Size Alteration: Poseidon is normally the size of around two humans, however when assuming the form of Captain Proteus he shrunk himself down to the height of a normal human.
 * Regeneration: If Poseidon sustains injury, his godly life-force will enable him to recover with superhuman levels of speed and efficiency. However, he is incapable of regenerating missing limbs or organs without the aid of magic.
 * Superhuman Strength: Poseidon is among the physically strongest of the Olympians and can lift about 70 tons without supplementing his strength with his other powers. Among the Olympians, his strength is equaled only by Ares and Hades and is exceeded only by Zeus and Hercules. Poseidon is strong enough to overpower Wonder Woman even while weakened.
 * Superhuman Speed: Neptune is capable of running and moving at speeds much greater than even the finest human athlete.
 * Superhuman Stamina: Neptune's body produces almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him almost limitless physical stamina. His stamina is equaled among the Olympians only by Ares, Pluto, Zeus, and Hercules.
 * Superhumanly Dense Tissue: The skin, muscle, and bone tissues of Neptune's body, like that of all Olympians, is about 3 times as dense as that of a human. This contributes, somewhat, to Neptune's superhuman strength and weight.
 * Superhuman Durability: Neptune's body is highly resistant to physical injury. He is capable of withstanding great impact forces, temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
 * Hydrokinesis: As the Olympian God of the Seas, Poseidon has Nigh-Omnipotent control over all forms of water. He can control, create and manipulate water such as making an entire ocean into a puddle or creating tsunamis. He can use his control over water to create powerful water blasts at his opponents. He is the greatest swimmer on the Earth. He can move at superhuman speeds while in water. He can breathe under water indefinitely and can breathe oxygen as well.
 * Intangibility:
 * Teleportation: Poseidon is capable of teleporting himself to various locations.
 * Aquatic Zoopathy: Poseidon can communicate with all creatures of the seas.
 * Allspeak: Due to the Allspeak (also called All-Tongue), Poseidon can communicate in all languages, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages.
 * Atmokinesis: As the Stormbringer, Poseidon has control over the weather to an equal degree as his brother Zeus.
 * Energy Manipulation: Poseidon possesses powerful energy-wielding abilities that are equaled among the Olympians only by those of Hades and surpassed only by those of Zeus. As such Poseidon's magical abilities surpass even that of the Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange, whom Pluto bested once in direct magical combat. Only a few of Poseidon's many energy-wielding powers have as yet been depicted. Poseidon can fire powerful force bolts from his hands powerful enough to destroy a planet, He can create powerful electrical fields, erect powerful, nearly impenetrable force fields, powerful enough to protect him from Zeus's attacks. He has the power of flight, light absorption, electric disruption and astral projection, temporarily increase his physical attributes, convert an entire tribe of his worshippers into water-breathers, change his (and that of others') size, shape and form into other people, animals and objects, create inter-dimensional apertures to enable him to transport himself from one dimension to another, mystically conceal himself from mortals (but not from gods), heal the injuries of other living beings, However, since his entrance to the Earthly plane his godly powers have been severely corroded.
 * Life Force Conduit (Formerly): Poseidon was entrusted with the Life Force, one of The Seven Forces of the Universe of reality that allows life to flourish and connects every living being down to their very souls. Poseidon would go on to reside this energy within his trident.
 * Energy Transference:
 * Power Distribution:
 * Reality Alteration: Poseidon stated that the Life-Force was originally entrusted to him so he could turn the oceans of the universe into a cradle of life.

Equipment

 * Horn of Neptune: A horn that resemble a conch shell that's able to summon and control Sea Creatures

Weapons

 * Neptune's Trident (Formerly): Poseidon carries a Trident forged by the first Cyclops that was forged from his godly essence and is the symbol of his power. The Trident is virtually indestructible as it is composed of the Olympian metal adamantine. The Trident has control the waters of the Earth to make whirlpools, typhoons, large waves, cyclones, etc. It can also conjure massive amounts of water and manipulate energy for various purposes, as well as give control of all sea animals to the wielder. He can strike the bottom of the sea bed and cause earthquakes. Poseidon has also allowed his champion, Namor to wield his trident and its power.

Notes & Trivia

 * Poseidon first appeared in Flash Comics #9 (September 1940)
 * Due to his status as Greek god of the sea, the character has figured primarily in stories relating to two of the main superhero properties: Wonder Woman (an Amazon warrior with various connections to the Greek pantheon) and Aquaman (the king of the underwater city of Atlantis who possesses his trident).
 * He is similar to Zeus in that he liked to exert power over women and flaunt his rugged masculinity. At times, however, his efforts were appreciated. Poseidon saved Amymone from a satyr.
 * Poseidon possessed a palace, made of gems and coral, located on the ocean floor. He was at Mount Olympus more often than his palace.
 * Just like Zeus, Poseidon had a weak spot for women. And, much like him, he was not exactly loved back by them. However, what he couldn’t acquire with romance and gentleness, he did with violence and craftiness.
 * He and Athena competed for possession of the city of Athens. To sway the people in his favor, Poseidon made it spring at the Acropolis. Athena, on the other hand, gave them the olive tree. With it, she won the contest.
 * To trick Demeter who turned into a mare to reject his advances, the god transformed himself into a stallion. Afterward, Demeter gave birth to the nymph Despoena and the talking horse Arion. With Amymone, Poseidon fathered Nauplius; with Aethra ­– the divine hero Theseus. The list goes on and includes hundreds of consorts and at least as many children.
 * Posiedon has sometimes been the ruler of Ancient Atlantis.
