Deities

Deities (神々, Kamigami) are species of beings that appears in the Super Kingdom Bros.'s Immortals Kid Icarus Rising series created by Scott Phillips and Toru Osawa. They are divine species of supernatural legendary beings that hold ultimate power over their domain.

While there does not appear to be a clear hierarchy among these beings, there are still notable differences in power and significance between them. A male deity is called a "God", while a female deity is called a "Goddess".

 * —About Deities.

Anatomy and Design
Many deities resemble normal human beings in their physical appearances, with the most prominent examples of this being Palutena and Viridi, while others only retain a humanoid shape, such as Hades and Pyrrhon. The only exception to this rule is Pandora, whose form appears to be a ball of fire—however, this is because she lost her physical form, which resembles a human like Palutena and Viridi do. However, even these humanoid forms are not their true forms, as deities only take on appearances that humans can comprehend.

Powers and Abilities
They possess many supernatural powers far exceeding those of mortal beings. These include the ability to control the elements, immortality, telepathy, flight bestowal, teleportation, creature transformation, and image projection.

Background
Deities are responsible for many of the events throughout the series due to their conflicting interests and goals. This causes them to go to war with one another with little consideration over the damage they may cause, often resulting in casualties to those who get caught in the crossfire.

While many deities bear ill feelings towards humanity or disregard them altogether, some deities appear benevolent toward them and are willing to protect them in exchange for respect.
