Zeus, Kali, Sun Wu Kong v.s
Say that, from mythology, Zeus, Sun Wu Kong, and Kali, from Indian belief join forces to conquer various opponents, who would be equal to or less than them in power.
Zeus was said to be as powerful as the entire Greek Pantheon by himself, Sun Wu Kong went to war with the Taoist Pantheon and won, and Kali will destroy the universe (I think). If they join forces, how powerful would they be in Fantasy, or any fiction in general?

Well, it'd be interesting to see the Scion version of Kali, SWK and Zeus meet their 'true' mythological inspirations.

Re: Zeus, Kali, Sun Wu Kong v.s
Superman, Green Lantern and Galactus would be on the order needed to actually fight them. However if it's just a race to get an item I would expect Huey, Dewy and Louie to beat them. Niether Zeus, Sun or Kali has 'works well with others' as a defining trait. Quite the opposite in fact.

Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

It's why I suggested Donalds nephews. They'll win hands down if at any point at least two people are required to cooperate.

Missed the Sandman reference, you did.

Kali is more or less in the same ballpark as the Trimurti, which means she's pretty much guaranteed to walk over most of fiction.

Re: Zeus, Kali, Sun Wu Kong v.s
This might be a dumb question but I was just wondering where everyone seems to be pulling the power rankings for the various deities from considering most gods, either as individuals or as a pantheon, are described as "all powerful," with possibly some great weakness existing to explain their eventual end of days downfall.

Re: Zeus, Kali, Sun Wu Kong v.s
I wouldn't call Sun Wukong mythology in the usual sense, no more than Superman or Hamlet is mythology. The author wrote those stories involving him invoking various mythological figures the same way Neil Gaiman's Sandman invokes them, but the stories are clearly "non canon" (if I can even use that term in this context) in the actual myths.
Yes this is a bit of a silly thread.
Well isn't Zeus kind of immortal? Also Sun Wukong is immortal as well, in the sense that when he "dies" he just gets resurrected after the battle with Hong Hai Er (I assume its translated as the Red boy), moreover he crossed out his name and those of his troops from the book of hell which supposedly grants him immortality.Thanas wrote:A cute little goth girl stops them with a smile and a shake of her head.

Yeah, but Death takes all in the end. Even the immortal furies were afraid of her.

How does the Great Sage not have "works well with others" as a trait?? He did work with piggy, horsey, and that half-bald guy to escort someone through 49 tribulations....dworkin wrote: Niether Zeus, Sun or Kali has 'works well with others' as a defining trait. Quite the opposite in fact.
