User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/The "pro" season battle 7 Raiden vs Zeus/@comment-5232784-20130103025549

Raiden is a pretty powerful dude, capable of lightning attacks, flying tackles, and teleportation, among other powers. He can hold his own against ninjas, kung fu masters, Shokan wariors and Shao Khan. However, he can be defeated by mere mortals (anyone can do this in the game if you are any other fighter than Raiden, and Shao Kahn, Kintaro, Goro, and Motaro can wup him to a pulp, while his counter strikes barely hurt them: it takes a good, good MK master gamer to beat shao khan or Kintaro or Motaro if you play as any MK combatant, including good old Raiden.

Zeus, however, has never been beaten by a mortal. Though he does not have the extensive hand to hand combat mastery of Raiden, he is by far more powerful, capable of metamorphosis and overpowering the other olympian gods put together. He rides a supernatural chariot drawn by immortal (ever living and unkillable) steeds, and his thunderbolt was strong enough to make Titans Tremble: in comparison, Raiden's lightning bolts can hurt a mortal warrior like Lu Kang, but have to be used several times in order to defeat and or kill them. Zeus has control over the sky, repeat THE SKY, and he fought not only titans but snake legged Giants/Gigantes, and the multi headed dragon-giant Typhon in single combat (with some aide by Hermes, to be fair, but still he did all the fighting himself).

No contest at all; ZEUS WILL SMITE RAIDEN!
