God of War (Earth-1213)

"And from that point forward, throughout the rest of time, whenever men rode forth to battle for good cause or for evil, they did so under the watchful eye of the man who had defeated a god. They were driven forward by Talion, the mortal who had become the new, God of War..."

The God of War is the title held by a God who is unmatched in battle tactics, having combat skill equating perfection. It was beard by Shao Kahn, son of Raiden, the first and original God of War, and later Talion, a Human Kahn manipulated for his own needs, who latter rebelled against his former master and killed him.

History
The title was first held by Shao Kahn, who was killed and overthrown by Talion. Later Talion would become a God himself, but after he was seemingly killed by Raiden, there was no one else to take the title of God of War.

The abilities or powers of the God of War are the same as any other Gods' powers, however they are more brutal and violent in nature.

The ability to set massive armies on fire, giving them protective abilities of fire, and destroy entire cities on a whim are just some of these abilities. Other abilities would include immortality and invincibility, absorption, elemental power, reality warping, flight, pyrokinesis, telepathy, telekinesis, enhanced senses, mastery of any weapon, dimensional manipulation, immunity against disease, teleportation, regeneration, absolute strength, absolute agility, absolute stamina, absolute durability, granting powers, shapeshifting, conjuration of powerful magical weapons, summoning, magic, energy projection and astral projection.

The power to grow to a giant size is also another ability demonstrated by both Gods of War. Raiden, Shinnok and Fujin also showed this power, meaning it is not just limited to the God of War.

Trivia

 * From all the gods of war, Talion was the most powerful and fearsome one, having had the powers of Melysandre's box, the powers of the God of War that belonged to Shao Kahn, and plenty of weapons and magic from the other gods and the knowledge to use the godly powers by Kitana after the death of her brother. This was proven by Raiden being the only one to interfere, not before trying to convince Kitana to do that job due to the latter being the closest divinity to Talion, and certainly the only one that he would not want to harm.
