Creation of Universes' Time
Alright so I found this book written by Philip Ardagh, it's called "World Book Ancient Egyptian Myths & Legends". In it, I found some interesting points about Ra that I felt needed to be covered. In the book, it's revealed on Page 43 that Ra actually created time itself in the beginning. "They were called out to honor him and to celebrate his importance and his power, except for one name that is. For that name was a secret, known only to the god himself. It was given to him at the beginning of time- for it was he who had created time- and was hidden deep within him." This is clearly a recognizable feat but is backed up when you realize that Heh (Embodiment of Infinity and Eternity) also represented time due to the number Million representing infinity back then. As we know Ra is more powerful than Heh, and in fact, is stated in this same book to be the most powerful of all the gods. This would imply being more powerful than Neith, but that's debatable due to her being his mother and the mother of his rival Apophis. "Isis was the goddess of fertility and of life. She was a mistress of magic and the wife of Osiris, Lord of the Underworld. She was cleverer than countless other gods and goddesses, but she wanted the greatest power of all-Ra's power." Ra's Boat of Millions of Years would also mean Boat of Infinity by the logic mentioned before. Time Manipulation should at least be added.
Secret Name of Almighty Power
I think we should put down Ra's secret name as one of his abilities, with it he was given power surpassing the infinite chaotic waters of his "father" Nu. On top of that, he was left to finish the creation his mother Neith had started. In the same story where Isis poisons Ra with his own power due to his old age, his secret name is what restored his former glory and made him as he was in the beginning.
Magic Immunity/Resistance
In the book I have Ra is described on Page 43 as being unaffected by even Isis' magic. "Few were safe against Isis' magic, but such magic was useless against Ra, the creator, the greatest god of all. So if she could not use her magic, how could Isis get the name from him? Through trickery?" Isis' magic is stated to be the greatest of all the gods, aside from Ra perhaps, with her actually being seen as one of the more powerful goddesses. I think this should prove Ra has a level of magic immunity or magic resistance.
Ra=Atum
Ra and the god Atum are basically the same god, they're often equated with one another and in this story Ra even refers to himself as Atum. "I am Ra. I am Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. I am Khepri in the morning-the scarab beetle, sailing through the sky in the Boat of Millions of Years-Ra, the blazing sun at noon, and Atum, the setting sun, in the evening...." Khnum is often seen as Ra's evening form in which he takes a Ram-headed appearance. However, this is an example of Atum and Ra being one and the same. Their feats are also the same.
Created Humanity From Tears
"Myth has it that that the first humans were born from his own tears, yet now people treated him as if he were no more important in their lives than a speck of dirt." We should have Creation listed under his abilities, he IS a Creator God after all.
Fusionism
Ra is famously known for fusing with other Egyptian gods in order to become an even more powerful and popular deity. For example, you can look up the name Amun-Ra and you'll find the fusion of Amun and Ra. He's also described as fusing with Horus God of the Sky and War, Osiris God of the Underworld (Duat), and even Sobek God of the Nile.
Solar Manipulation
He's the God of the Sun, need I say more? Ra is described as being the Sun itself in many cases.
Light Manipulation
Ra is stated in the book i have to actually be the god of light and health. Philip Ardagh on Page 19 says "In appearance Ra was obviously not the great and powerful god he had once been. Was this really the lord of all gods, the god of light and health?" Ra is also seen as the first light that lit up the darkness of Nu before the dawn of creation.
Trans-Universal Travel Speed
Ra is often described as sailing across Nut in a couple hours everyday. During the day he sailed along Nut and at night through Nut. Nut is basically the universe itself also called the Sky or Heavens. This is also evident in the fact that she is seen as a woman far bigger than Geb (Earth itself). She's always depicted as being covered in stars.

Universal Lifting Strength
Ra should actually be equal to Shu God of the Air, who was tasked with keeping Nut (Sky) and Geb (Earth) apart for "eternity". Shu was tasked with holding up Nut (The Universe itself), a task given to him by his father Ra who should logically be capable of performing a similar feat via powerscaling.
Godly Creation
Ra/Atum casually made Shu by breathing or spitting, the point is he did it in a very casual manner. Shu is the god who constantly holds up Nut. He also made Tefnut Goddess of Moisture and Rain via spitting or in some cases masturbation, the mother of Nut and Geb, basically making them the parents of the universe and by that logic, Ra, as being more powerful than them is far beyond even that.
