Ok so Glory is a hell god she was so powerful that her buddies (two other hellgods) threw her out of there dimension which before that point they had ruled equally. They both FEARED glory cause of her power, two hell gods feared the power of one and thus had to combine to take her out. They could not or would not take her immorality which we dont know. because technically they did take her immortality because she did become mortal when her human half came out. So perhaps they did this as a punishment? Who knows we have little in history when it comes to Glory before her depowerment what we do know is that even after being depowered.
Glory's powers and feats that i can remember were as follows:
Super Strength and Invunrability: Glory was after a monk who knew the identity of the key he was holed up in an old building with a giant metal door keeping others out, glory punched through this knocking it down. She tortured the monk but he didnt reveal what she wanted. Buffy showed up and tried to fight Glory to her suprise when Glory hit her just once it sent her across the room and into a wall that broke. Buffy was stunned and tried fighting back Glory kept on beating on her effortlessly, till buffy got the monk and left, Glory was pissed and stomped her foot the stomping caused the building to fall on her which only slowed her down. During the show Glory was, hit by lightning by dark magic willow, she was hit with knives wihch she blocked using only her hands, she was droped right above the city of sunnydale, she was hit by a mack truck, she was also attacked by an army (seriously an army) of armed knights. She was unharmed by any of these things the only thing that did manage ot harm her was when Willow cast a spell to drain glorys stamina, they also had the buffy bot fight with glory, they hit her with a wrecking ball, they also used a troll gods hammer. After all this all she got was a bloody nose, she also was in contact with some weird orb that would hurt her for some reason. Eventually she got to weak to fight on probably due to the god hammer, she became human again and the human part was killed.
VS
Illyria
Illyria is one of the OLD ONES. A race of beings that were pure demon and lived before humans but after the powers that be (Jasmine) Illyria was feared even amoung the old ones and became there king and as she says "a god to a god" she was killed by other old ones. She planned though in case this would happen. Even while dorment (not really dead) Her coffin was teleported to a pre ordained location. The Coffin was opened by Fred and she was taken over slowly and painfully by Illyria int he episode Hole in the world which is one of the saddest episodes you can watch. Her vessel which was Fred was to weak to contain all her power and thus she was later depowered by a special gun that drained her energies into another dimension. Anyway in the next season which was in comics called Angel After the Fall by IDW publishing. She seemed to have all her powers back at least till LA went back to earth but we dont know if she's got all her powers back she has really impressive feats after Angel After the Fall which makes us wonder if she has regained her powers.
Magic powers: she was able to cast a spell that made everyone forget who her human half was, She also did a spell to make some snake into a giant monster that was able to seek out the key, the snake was also able to see the key. Giles said it took ALOT of power to do this and Glory didnt seem to be bothered by it.
Her powers and feats are as follows
Invunrability: Wesley hit her with a battle ax to the head, she didnt look like she even felt it, the ax shattered. Spike punched her and she didnt really wince or anything just punched him back. During the mini series Angel Only Human, Illyria fought another old one who was in earlier eons her "pet" this pet had most of illyrias powers since a cult of demons stole the generator that was used to drain illyria, and shot the powers into this dorment old one, the pet and illyria fought, the pet commented on how she couldnt hope of beating her cause it had all her powers or most. None the less the battle continued with Illyria seeming not to undergo any damage. the pet was freaked, and stunned saying something like how isnt i havent killed you! or how is it i havent hurt you! In angel after the fall she beat up angels pet dragon cordelia
Super Strength VERY ABOVE AVERAGE and super human speed and fighting skills, perhaps the strongest in the buffyverse but we dont know cause other beings like Glory, and The First Evil exist: Her first feat of strength was when she back handed Harmony right across the room. She threw angel through two windows and down many floors, Later she fought both Spike and Angel, Wesley was there as backup, She dodged most of there attacks, angel did get in at least one punch which knocked her down which is pretty dumb condering her other fears of invunrability. Very inconstistant. But she did dodge gunfire from wesley pretty easy, she also dodged spike and angels combined attacks she manhandled both of them throwing both of them away like insects very easily she commented that she was "unimpressed" When Gunn was in the Wolfram and Harts hell dimension he was tortured by a very large demon, Illyria went up to the demon and back handed him defeating him easily then put on a pendant that made him torture himself since everyone in the hell dimension wears one so that the demon knows who to torture. Later on when her powers were malfunctioning and time was going back and forth in a crazy fashion, she fought angel, wesley, and spike killing all of them and lorne
Power over time and space: in her first appearnce she showed little bits of these powers. she slowed down time for one, she could also open portals easily to any dimension she chosed we can assume that. When her powers were messing up on her time was going back and forth like crazy, During Angel After The Fall the same thing happend going back and forth sept she was doing it on purpose i think, she was able to change back into her original form at times. She was tired of existance and suffering or whatever and then started to collapse everything nobody was able to stop her sept some nonsense writing about someone appealing to her emotions.
