Powers and Abilities[]

  • Godly Physical Characteristics: As a depowered god, Raiden is physically superior to any superhuman kombatant.
  • Immortality: His eternal age ensures that he cannot die from old age and can live forever.
  • Martial Arts Mastery: Raiden's millions of years' worth of knowledge includes a vast mastery over martial arts such as having complete knowledge on all 750 forms of Jujitsu and three other martial arts.
  • Staff Mastery: Raiden has mastered the martial art of using staff for righting.
  • Stealth Mastery: Raiden has some degree of stealth, as Kung Jin was unable to notice him standing behind him after he stole a relic from the Sky Temple. He also sneaked on D'Vorah and Baraka when Raiden, Kung Lao and Liu Kang were rescuing their Shaolin masters.
  • Enhanced Awareness: Raiden can sense beings that are out of his line of sight. He demonstrated this multiple times when he sensed Shang Tsung quietly walking towards him and Jax. He also sensed Jade entering the armory before she even opened the caged door.
  • Spiritual Awareness: Besides being able to sense people out of his sight, he can even sense souls. He first did this when he saw Takeda's soul fighting back to his body in the Netherrealm.
  • Energy Sensing: Raiden can sense energy signatures as well.
  • Regeneration: Raiden can regenerate from the complete physical destruction of the body by reforming his energies.
  • Flight: His godly status grants him the ability to fly and freely move above the ground.
  • Precognition: He has the ability to see the future, ranging from events that will happen after a minute to predicting an event that happens after a millennia.
  • Thunder God Status: Raiden is the god of thunder, and thus he controls the element itself.
    • Electricity Manipulation: With his status as a thunder god, Raiden has complete control over all paralyzing electricity. After absorbing Shinnok's corrupted energy, the color of his lightning turned from white to red.
    • Telekinesis: He can seemingly move objects such as his staff with his electricity without making physical contact with them.
    • Electricity Immunity: Raiden is immune to his own element, as he can safely channel electricity through his own body and even touch wet floors while channeling electricity through them without getting shocked.
    • Weather Control: Raiden can create massive and destructive thunderstorms to strike down all who oppose him.
    • Teleportation: Raiden can instantly relocate himself from one place to another with a thought or by raising his arm. He can use this ability to vanish, which allows him to take opponents by surprise. Raiden can also teleport others with him and even teleport objects to other locations as well. He has traveled thousands of kilometers and even interrealm distances with this.
    • Healing: Raiden has the ability to heal injuries and even fatal wounds such as a stab to the heart and a large hole in the chest.
    • Light Manipulation: With his ability to control electricity, Raiden can emit a blinding flash of light from his eyes.
    • Forcefield Creation: Raiden can create forcefields to shield himself from attacks.
    • Weapon Creation: First seen in MK11, his ability to manipulate electricity allows him to shape blades made out of electricity.
