What are Atlas's powers?

In Greek mythology, Atlas is a Titan known for his immense physical strength and endurance rather than magical superpowers, and his powers reflect his role as a bearer of great weight. His primary power is superhuman strength and stamina, capable of holding up the sky or heavens on his shoulders for eternity as punishment, which requires infinite endurance and resistance to fatigue. Atlas is described as one of the strongest of all Titans, second only to Heracles among mortals in some myths, able to bear the weight of the celestial vault that would crush any other being. He also possesses immortality as a Titan, being ageless and immune to natural death, and durability that allows him to withstand extreme pressures and cosmic forces. In some versions, Atlas has knowledge of astronomy and geography because he holds the heavens and knows the depths of the seas, and he is sometimes credited with being the father of astronomy and teaching navigation. He is also associated with endurance and perseverance, symbolizing bearing burdens. Unlike gods like Zeus who have lightning or Poseidon with sea control, Atlas does not have elemental manipulation, shapeshifting, or spellcasting, his power is purely physical might and endurance. In modern pop culture, such as DC Comics or video games, Atlas's powers are expanded to include enhanced combat skills, but in classical mythology his main power is his legendary strength to hold the sky.
