Zeus opens gateways between dimensions and teleports. he gives superpowers to lesser beings and charge his blows with magic to beat the hulk into a pulp in a straight fist fight that leaves his healing factor weakened for weeks afterwards. he can drop high heralds with a single lihgtning bolt and is far more resistant to injury than apocalypse. he changes shape and size at will and has picked up and dumped mountains on his enemies.

skyfather: odin, zeus and the likes;
elder god: father set, cthon;
cube being (their ranking below some of the lower abstracts is controversial): molecule man and beyonder;
abstract: galactus (low) eternity (high), LT, scarlet witch, WF mxy, etc. (highest);
omnipotents: TOAA and the overmonitor
