He commands many supernatural abilities such as the ability to teleport, control over lightning, and flight. As an immortal, he thinks in terms of eternity rather than normal human lifespans and his memories date back to the beginning of time itself. His name means "thunder and lightning" (雷, rai + 電, den) - one of the nicknames of the Japanese thunder god Raijin.
