Apollo is a prominent deity within the Greek Pantheon. He is known as the "Sun God" (太陽神, Taiyō-Shin)[3] and is a part of the Twelve Gods of Olympus. He is also known by the title of "Phoebus" (ポイボス, Poibosu)[4] and is considered to be the "Boxing God" (ボクシングの神, Bokushingu no Kami)[5].

As a God, Apollo is incapable of dying due to old age

Apollo is an attractive man with flowing long light pink hair that reaches down to his torso and a body of good physique.

Like many of the Gods of the Greek Pantheon, he wears items related to Greece such as a laurel wreath, buskin sandals and toga. The toga though has elements of clothing more akin to a kimono such a sash around his torso (Obi) and flower designs on the outside of the chest area with it being opened to show his chest. He is decorated with jewelry with him wearing a necklace extending down his chest that resemble the sun and its rays, a chain that is a part of his sash and a decorated chain around his right leg. Underneath his Divine Weapon, he wears black gloves that only cover his thumbs, index and middle fingers, leaving his ring fingers and pinkies, and the area around them, exposed.

Apollo appears to be an extremely narcissistic individual, who cares a lot about beauty, when it comes to himself and even others. When he had heard news of the deaths of other Greek Gods in Ragnarok, his first reaction wasn't to mourn them but rather, wish he could've been there to see their deaths as they must've looked beautiful when they died.[7] In addition to being narcissistic, Apollo looks down on anyone who doesn't fit his own standards of what is beautiful. This is especially in the case of Humans such as at the start of the ninth round: when Leonidas leapt in before Heimdall could even finish saying "Fight!", Apollo criticised him for being like a wild beast, considering him less than a Human.[8]

Apollo's narcissistic nature has also made him have a flare for the dramatic, always doing grandiose and expressive poses. This was first demonstrated when he was in the bath and posing for each grand line, not caring if he was nude or not.[3] This did not dim down in battle, with him outright mocking Leonidas with his expressions, words and poses.

Apollo strongly believes that what makes a person beautiful is not what their outward appearance looks like – it's whether or not that person truly knows themself. He thinks that those aren't beautiful are those who rest on the laurels of their good fortune and do nothing more while those that are beautiful are those who know their own weaknesses and don't fear changing themselves.

Narcissism aside, Apollo is a formidable God in combat, thanks to his extreme reflexes and speed that make him nearly impossible to hit. Combined with his natural talent in boxing, Apollo can counter any attack without losing momentum or breath. So much so, he could put fighters like Leonidas on the ropes where even Leonidas' Völundr could not surprise the God enough to let his guard completely down.

Apollo has great resistance and can withstand very strong and painful blows. When Leonidas managed to hit Apollo with Phalanx Nemesis, he received the blow directly to his face and hit the ground so hard that he bounced off it and fell back to the ground face-first. Although it took him a while to get up, it didn't take him long, and his reaction was one of happiness and joy, fully accepting the unsightly wound on his face with pride. When his right arm was grazed by his own arrow of light, that was deflected at him, although unable to use his bow anymore for the fight, he still managed to utter enough energy to use his final move, and punch through Leonidas' shield with the same arm.

Apollo has shown immense skill in boxing, evident by his ability to dodge Leonidas' quick attacks, while also being able to quickly strike back.

Apollo has been classified as a very skilled archer, during his life he has trained and practiced a lot to become "God of Archery", in addition to that he himself has been able to kill several Giants, and destroy the defenses of Argos during the Gigantomachy, and also for the fact of wounding Leonidas numerous times.

As the God of the Sun, Apollo can produce and control light. He can manipulate and craft the light into fine and durable threads for combat that can block Volundr-level attacks with ease.

Phoebus' Lyre (The Shimmering Harp) Apollo creates a pair of hands out of his threads and places his own hands into them, which transforms the Threads of Artemis into a pair of boxing bracers with pronounced wristbands and studded knuckles. These pair of bracers enhance Apollo's close-range boxing abilities.

The Sun Shall Never Set on Me (Embrace of the Eternal Midnight Sun) Apollo's strongest battle mode. A power that defies all logic and common sense, Apollo can actually get stronger the more that he lives up to the expectations of those around him, whether they be an ally or an enemy. When this happens, Apollo emits a large amount of light from his body.

Artemis Elenchos (Shining Domination) Apollo wraps his threads around his opponent's limb to immobilise their movement.

Apollo Epicurious (Golden Arrows of the Shining Meteor) Apollo launches a large wave of his light arrows at his opponent to overwhelm them.

Argyrotoxos (Soul-Piercing Silver Arrow) If Apollo cannot draw his bow anymore, he can give the bow back to the statue. The statue will then deform the bow back into threads and form a very thick rope between its hands. Afterwards, the statue drops its hands to the ground and Apollo leans back on the rope while digging his feet really hard into the ground, drawing himself back like an arrow. Once he pulls his right fist back in preparation for a punch, Apollo lifts his feet up from the ground and is sent flying towards his opponent. While flying forward, Apollo's right fist hardens the light energy that is around it, creating an arrow covering it. This attack was powerful enough to destroy Leonidas' Völundr and deal a fatal blow through his body in the final moments of Round 9, though the arrow was broken on impact with the shield.
