No gif this time because I'm stuck on the cringe and fail mobile site. You know what else is cringe and fail? God of War scaling (please laugh).
Energy Manipulation, Energy Projection, Resistance Bestowal, & Reactive Evolution [Draupnir]
Draupnir currently has these abilities because of its siphon ability, which absorbs an element from the target and gives Kratos resistance to that element while stripping the target of their own resistance to it. All of this is already covered by absorption, elemental manipulation, and resistance negation; The other four abilities are either redundant, or simply non-existent (what exactly is the spear “evolving” in response to here?).
Resistance to Poison & Acid Manipulation [Redeemed Warrior]
The Manticore Armor can protect against poison and acid. Except, no it can’t, it’s just tipped with a manticore’s venom. The only way this would be a resistance was if the venom was inside the armor and affected whoever put it on, which probably isn’t the case on account of being a really fucking stupid assumption.
Attack Reflection [Redeemed Warrior]
With the Gauntlets of Jason, the Redeemed Warrior can counter attacks. Cool. What exactly is being reflected here? It’s just a counterattack.
Earth Manipulation [Poseidon]
Poseidon has this because his anger can cause the earth to shake. This is somehow interpreted as Poseidon being a god of earthquakes, when like, no, this is just an AP feat at best.
Paralysis Inducement [Poseidon]
He has this from his lightning, which as far as I can tell, has never showcased the ability to paralyze enemies in any of the games or novels. I genuinely cannot tell what the source for this is supposed to be.
Forcefield Creation [Poseidon]
Poseidon’s sword can create forcefields. Except uh, no it can’t. His spear can, though, so change the justification to that.
Deconstruction [Poseidon & Demigod Kratos]
Both Poseidon and Kratos have this due to Poseidon’s lightning being able to destroy people so thoroughly that not even smoke remains. The obvious problem with this is our standards regarding deconstruction, which say the following:

Both Poseidon and Kratos have this due to Poseidon’s lightning being able to destroy people so thoroughly that not even smoke remains. The obvious problem with this is our standards regarding deconstruction, which say the following:
Poseidon’s lightning is a continuous beam of electricity, so of course it’d be able to effectively vaporize fodder enemies without having any “deconstruction” hax. Not much to add, as our standards are quite clear about this. Characters that resist deconstruction via resisting Poseidon’s lightning also need that removed.Note: Natural side effects from powers, such as Energy Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Vibration Manipulation, and other abilities that can produce enough energy output to destroy or dismantle objects, do not mean that characters automatically qualify for this ability, unless the abilities in question specifically and directly focus on deconstruction in itself, rather than as a consequence.
