Powers talkback: Super Gravity, Space-Time Distortion, Reflective Scales
Shadow Consumption:
An example of his (their?) bizarre otherworldly, almost magical, nature, King Ghidorah's shadow can come into our world, absent of his body, and bite into the shadows of creatures of this world. This results in the physical bodies of the shadow's owners having chunks bitten out of them or limbs severed as if they themselves were actually bitten, the bite marks having a strange blue glowing residue on them.
Energy Body:
Similar to Showa version, King Ghidorah can manifest as an energy body but unlike the original he can keep himself in that state indefinitely. King Ghidorah's energy body seems to be a mix between electricity and hard light (light particles so densely packed together you can physically interact with it instead of passing through) and maybe even plasma. So while touching him is possible, it would still cause damage to the one touching him, like touching a hot stove.
I hypothesis that King Ghidorah's body has a strong electromagnetic nature because it needs to magnetically charge the light particles and/or plasma it's body is made out of to keep them in place instead of scattering everywhere. In short, the creature uses it's magnetism as "glue" for it's body, possibly pulling them into it.
Technically this would still make him physical being as plasma is the fourth state of matter, and even normal light is made of subatomic particles, photons, that are just spaced too far apart for you to touch so you pass through light. But maybe King Ghidorah is actually the electricity and he just gathers light and plasma or generates it to be able to physically interact with worlds. If that were the case then he would be a true energy being.
Then again we saw him in shadow form interact with the world like some kind of Lovecraften monster in a way that is beyond science. If the shadow is his true form then he is something else all together and the energy body is just a vessel or means to an end. Maybe we are seeing quantum physics. Maybe the creature is composed of gravitons, and uses gravity to pull matter into itself like a black hole to create it's body, as it was shown to create it's own gravity field.
Reality Warping & Extra Dimensional Nature:
King Ghidorah was alien in every sense of the word, not just being an alien from a different space & time, a being from an alternate reality and/or extra dimension. Whatever his body was composed of, it was so foreign, so unknown, that our machines could not detect the monster, either because we have not discovered these substances in our universe and a means of detecting them or they don't exist in ours at all and thus we have no context on how to detect them. Indeed the only thing the computers could detect was the gravity and time anomalies it was causing.
In a weird way this makes King Ghidorah have stealth abilities as the only way to detect him is with the naked eye and if he's within visual range then it's already too late. Truly a cosmic horror.
Super Gravity:
King Ghidorah was somehow able to generate powerful gravity anomalies which it used to crush the Aratrum. The creature would use this ability to crush entire planets and stars before consuming them to further fuel his power with their energy.
Electrical Discharge:
King Ghidorah's body seemed to be, in part, made of alien electricity and was able to discharge it from his body to zap anyone or anything he targeted.
Space-time distortion:
It was theorized that that faster you travel, the slower time moves. It was also theorized that intense gravity such as from a black hole could also slow down time and distort space. Because of his ability to manipulate gravity, King Ghidorah was able to distort time and space, resulting in a bubble of the past or future and a different space surrounding himself to act as a shield from energy attacks that would otherwise disrupt the particles of his body. Because Godzilla's Particle Beam can not exist in the past and future at the same time, only present time, and can not take up two different spaces at the same time, only travel from point A to point B in real time, it would bend around King Ghidorah bubble harmlessly, shooting up into the air or down in the ground. This also allowed King Ghidorah to pass through Godzilla's electrical fore-field unharmed.
This anomaly was not exclusively localized to King Ghidorah, for being in his mere presence would cause the area to experience altered time. The bridge room of the Aratrum in present time was able to talk to the engine room in the past despite it having already been destroyed 40 seconds ago in the bridge room's time.
In short King Ghidorah doesn't just destroy planets and stars, he destroys realities, time and space. Destroy of Worlds indeed.
Interdimensional Wormholes:
King Ghidorah lived in the Void, a space between different realities. When the time came to feed the monster would open up a wormhole in the sky to fly through or if it felt lazy just open 3 and send it's long serpent heads in instead. It's possible that if the monster chose to, he could turn these wormholes into black holes by manipulating gravity but this is only a theory and unconfirmed.
Extendable Necks:
King Ghidorah was able to extend his neck to about 20 kilometers. If this is because of he can naturally do this on his own, or spaghettification from the wormholes is unknown.
Electrified Bite & Energy Siphoning Bite:
King Ghidorah could deliver bites with powerful electrical shocks. The monster was also an energy vampire, able to suck up Godzilla's electromagnetic energy so fast it canceled his second transformation into Scarlet Godzilla in an attempt to burn him off, consuming the heat & electricity faster than his sped up atoms could produce.
World Destroying Storms:
King Ghidorah's wormholes created powerful thunderstorms. Though a theory, it's possible that King Ghidorah could use his electric nature to power these storms indefinitely and destroy a world in that way, similar to his Monsterverse incarnation.
Selective Intangibility:
Be he plasma, hard light, both or something else all together, King Ghidorah was able to use electrical charges on his own subatomic particles to spread them apart so any attempts at psychically harming him would just pass through him like a ghost or water. He was able to be selective with this as he teeth & mouths were kept solid enough to dig in and lift Godzilla but his necks particles were far enough apart to be intangible.
Meme Infection & Resurrection?:
Simply knowing about King Ghidorah is enough to "infect" you like Freddy Kruger, allowing him to plant the seeds of a cult to raise up and bring him into this world. Also because he is an energy being, even after being killed he can just pull himself back together over time and come back as was implied with his Exif Clergy. The creature needed enough people to know about it in order to open a doorway into our world.
Intelligence:
King Ghidorah was not just some big energy animal. The Exif left over who survived their worlds destruction became insane religious fanatics who worshiped King Ghidorah as their god. They developed a computer to talk with the creature and surprisingly it talked back. The monster instructed them to find other world with intelligent life and indoctrinated them into a destruction cult to fool them into open the doorway for him to come in.
Weakness:
The monster is blind, sort of. In an ironic twist, while our instruments can't perceive him but our eyes can, King Ghidorah can not perceive our world with his own eyes. It seems our world it just as alien to him as he is to us. King Ghidorah needs a host on our side to act as his eyes and guidance. However should anything happen to the host or the device they use to guide him, King Ghidorah panics and looses several of his abilities in our world. When his Exif host was mortally wounded and the Summoning Bead was destroyed, King Ghidorah panicked and let go of Godzilla. Had the creature kept it's cool it could have continued holding on to Godzilla and crushed him.
With most or all of it's powers no longer available in our reality, King Ghidorah could not become intangible or use space-time as a bubble, resulting in one neck having it's jaw ripped off, another smashed to pieces by Godzilla's tail and their third scattered into pieces by Godzilla's Particle Beam before it could retreat, followed by the worm holes being blasted shut.
Miscellaneous:
I'm not making a separate topic for Mothra's powers cause there isn't much to talk about and she wasn't actually in the movies, but at the same time she still played important roles in said movies so I'm tacking her on to this.
Mothra's Scales & DNA Integration:
Mothra's scales were able to reflect Godzilla's Particle Beam back at him, injuring him enough to force him to retreat. Humans that lived with Mothra for 20,000 years integrated her DNA into their biology and became the Houtua, similar to Godzilla creating a new ecosystem. The Houtua naturally secret a similar substance from their bodies which protected them from the radioactive environment of a Godzilla ruled ecosystem. In fact they could walk and breath in such environments without any protective bio-hazard suits unharmed.
The substance also cancled out Nanometal assimilation, as was the case with one of the Vulture's pilots.
Mothra's Telepathy:
Mothra had powerful telepathy, even in her unhatched egg form, as did the Houtua. The Houtua could use this to not only communicate with one another but other races as well, and even learn their languages quick enough to speak them verbally in a short time. Together with an exceptionally powerful telepath such as Maina and aid from from the engineering mind of Major Martin Lazzari, Mothra was able to dispel Metphies illusions all while in egg form, leaving his summoning bead vulnerable to be destroyed and in turn make King Ghidorah vulnerable.

Re: Powers talkback: Super Gravity, Space-Time Distortion, Reflective Scales
My favorite version of Ghidorah. Very Lovecraftian, ethereal, deadly, and downright horrifying. In the Showa series we always hear about how Ghidorah conquered planets yet never really saw evidence of how he has done so. This Ghidorah no doubt has the ability to do this and it is explicitly shown how and mentioned it has. As unlikely as it is I would happily see this Ghidorah return in the future. I read that this Ghidorah is actually a different evolutionary path of Godzilla, can anyone confirm this? If so that makes him even more awesome knowing that the only thing more deadly than Godzilla, is Godzilla and it appears that the Servum looking heads seem to suggest this as well. A true planet conqueror that actually feels like one this time. This is one cosmic horror that is for sure. A great incarnation of Ghidorah for a great incarnation of Godzilla. As for Mothra, meh, I never really cared for Mothra as a kaiju but this is an interesting take on her as well.
