Lucifer is the name attributed to diverse mythological figures linked to the planet Venus. Known as the fallen angel, he personifies evil and has the ability to influence humans towards committing wicked deeds. Most commonly recognized as the devil, he is frequently associated with the serpent in the Garden of Eden. As a former archangel, Lucifer possesses near-omniscience and immortality.

Sun Wukong, the iconic Monkey King from Buddhist folklore, possessed extraordinary strength and unmatched agility. With the ability to create countless clones, he effortlessly carried two celestial mountains while sprinting as fast as a shooting star. His remarkable feats encompassed moving the very earth, triumphing over legions of gods, and even instilling fear in the personification of death itself.

Lord Shiva, known by various names such as Rudra and Mahadev, represents the embodiment of the Masculine element in the universe. Within the Hindu holy trinity, he is revered as the 'destroyer' of the cosmos. One notable event from his mythology is the severing of Brahma's heads, the creative force in Hindu mythology. Additionally, Shiva is also associated with the deity of death, "maha-kali," in Hinduism.

Zeus, the revered sky father of the Greek pantheon, is attributed as the creator of mankind and their ultimate guardian. His mythology and powers share resemblances with those of other Indo-European deities like Jupiter, Indra, Sakra, and Thor. As the ruler of the heavens, Zeus held dominion over the skies, endowing him with a myriad of abilities, notably his awe-inspiring control over lightning. Unleashed, Zeus possesses the potential to unleash such tremendous force that it could disperse the Earth across the vast expanse of the universe, thus elucidating his unrivaled power.

Odin, revered as the All-Father in Norse mythology, possesses Gungnir, a supernatural spear with the power to rend the very earth asunder. In accordance with Norse legends, Odin and his brethren vanquished Ymir, the giant, utilizing his lifeless form to forge the foundations of the earth. Subsequently, they fashioned human beings to populate this nascent realm. While Odin served as the creator of humanity, it was his son, Thor, who assumed the mantle of their protector in the face of adversity.

Ra, the Egyptian deity, possesses the unique attribute of self-creation and is credited with bringing all other beings into existence. Notably, he embodies the very essence of the sun, undergoing a daily cycle of death and rebirth to sustain the continuous rhythm of night and day. In many artistic representations, Ra is depicted with a falcon's head, much like his son Horus.

Hailing from Brazil, Tupã emerges as the thunder spirit, bearing the responsibility of overseeing all creation. As a benevolent deity, he bestowed life upon animals, plants, the vast seas, and even human beings, including his own wife, Jaci. Furthermore, Tupã's domain encompasses the realm of rain, which plays a vital role in sustaining the natural balance.

Morrigan, originating from Celtic tradition, was a formidable goddess of war known for her dangerous nature. However, her influence extended beyond the battlefield, as she was also associated with concepts of fertility, wealth, and land. Morrigan was part of a triad of goddesses, adding to her significance in Celtic mythology. Despite her immense power, she also possessed remarkable beauty, captivating those who encountered her.
