The Antichrist character

What if the Antichrist from Christian mythology is present in the universes of the video games Doom, Devil May Cry, and Darksiders? How powerful would he be?

Probably not very. I mean, the Antichrist, it's just a guy, isn't it? A guy with great temporal powers (an influential religious or political figure, probably), but, like, not able to breathe fire or rebuke undead or summon hellhounds as a free action or anything.

Canon is a more respectful/accurate term than mythology, but anyway, I'm pretty sure the Antichrist is more of a harbinger figure than any kind of powerful being. If I recall correctly he's supposed to die and resurrect or something like that, been a while since I read about him, but that seems to be the upper end of his "abilities".

As long as his powers don't include omniscience or invincibility, he could be killed like any other strong enemy.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^ Omniscience in itself wouldn't necessarily save him from being killed either.

^True, but it would prevent sneak attacks. You'd have to come at him with something completely unavoidable.
