-Has descended from 
Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggurath, through Nug
    -Hinted in his prime that he destroyed multiple stars on his way to Earth
-Won the war against the Elder Things in his prime

Speed
Tends to be High Hypersonic+ Via Moving to MFTL+ In his Prime
-In his prime, Traveled from Xoth, a binary star to earth
    -Not many speed feats go off by
-As a Old One his speed varies depending on his power

Generally Debatable though its considered to be around Star Level+ or Higher
-Survived a Steamboat slicing his head in half with no effect
-Supposedly cannot be injured easily
-Tanked living inside a Star
    -Cthulhu Lore?
-Physical mass is not made of any matter in our Universe
-Survives the Vacuum of Space and the deepest depths of the ocean

Cthulhu3 by Arachnid-le-Spider
Immortality
-Inherited from being a Old One
-Becomes ageless essentially
-Made so he can never die but only be put back to sleep
    -Death basically has no meaning to him

Cthulhu by Arachnid-le-Spider
Healing Factor
From Debatable to almost Instant
-As said, can heal from any wounds inflicted on him in a relatively short time-span
    -Presumably due to his alternative matter body
Telepathy
-Used to make people go insane or mentally delusional
    -Aided whenever he awakens
-Can even haunt people in their dreams to give them unspeakable nightmare

The Deep Ones by Arachnid-le-Spider
Familiar Spawning
-Likewise can summon familiars to aid him in battle and fight for him
-These include Star Spawn (Beings similar to Cthulhu)
-Deep Ones whom helped build R'lyeh and show signs of immortality
    -Including Father Dagon, who rules over the Deep Ones themselves
-And his Cult which ultimately just gives him moral support?

5b1d071c622d3bb26b6c26a80d80534e by Arachnid-le-Spider
Weaknesses
-Is no longer in his Prime due to the stars not being in place
-Stated that he is the more weaker or weakest Elder Gods in his Universe
-While he cannot die he is still prone to being knocked out or removed from the battlefield
-His familiars whilst biologically immortal can still be prone to die in battle
    -Including the Deep Ones including Father Dagon while large is seemingly under the term of Deep One
-Easily suspected to be arrogant and long ago tried to pledge war against the Elder Gods
-Steamboats are his worst enemy (Though this is an exaggeration)
    -Other than that holds no other real weaknesses

(H.P. Lovecraft: "When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live.")
Because Cthulhu's cool.
Feel free to use this but make sure to give me credit.
May be just me, but people tend to overrule some facts on Cthulhu.

Dang writing about novel/book characters is a tough cookie to crumble, props to you. 

So at his prime he is around Star Level? I know he had one incarnation where he was Multiversal where he saved the Earth or something but is that one separate from the Lovecraft one and shouldn’t be considered in a composite?
