Death Battle Info

 * As a god, Hades is immortal, though enough physical harm from powerful weapons can still kill him. He is invulnerable to any mortal means of killing.
 * Super Strength: Hades was strong enough to pull down massive titans with his chains and create shockwaves with his stomps, though not strong enough to win a tug-of-war against Kratos
 * Agility: Despite his size, Hades can be deceptively fast, able to climb down Mount Olympus and flip over titans with ease.
 * Shapeshifting: Hades can altar his size to that of a giant, despite his already impressive height
 * Necromancy: Using the Claws of Hades, Hades can steal the souls of others and use them as weapons. He also has the ability to gift their allegiance to others
 * Regeneration: Hades can attach broken parts of his body back on, provided they are not destroyed

Trivia

 * Both in real mythology and the God of War franchise, Hades was the god of the underworld and ruler of the dead, but not the god of death itself. This title belonged to the being Thanatos.
 * By technicality, Hades is the oldest of the three brothers and second-oldest of the first six Olympians; their ages are reversed when Cronos regurgitates them
 * Hades appears as a stage hazard in the Hades stage in Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale
