Now what powers and abilities do you think Ghidorah should have in the crossover?

Here's a list of the powers of each incarnation of Ghidorah:

Showa: Heisei: Desghidorah: Rebirth of Mothra III: GMK: Keizer Ghidorah: Anime Trilogy: MonsterVerse:
 * Flight - King Ghidorah is able to fly up to speeds of Mach 3 in the Earth's atmosphere by flapping his gigantic wings, and exceeds this while flying through space, reaching a speed of Mach 400. He encased himself within a meteorite while traveling from planet to planet in both his original appearance and in Godzilla vs. Gigan.
 * Gravity Beams - King Ghidorah's arguably most famous ability is the golden, lightning bolt-like Gravity Beams (引力光線 Inryoku Kōsen) he spits from his three mouths, also variably referred to as Lightning Beams (電撃光線 Dengeki Kōsen) or Zero Gravity Beams (無重力光線 Mujūryoku Kōsen). These beams are roughly equal in power to Godzilla's atomic breath, and are capable of causing large-scale explosions when fired at buildings. King Ghidorah uses these beams to cover a large radius or strike multiple targets by firing them from each of his mouths. King Ghidorah can also fire these beams one at a time, demonstrated in Godzilla vs. Gigan when he turns one of his heads to blast Anguirus, who is attempting to sneak up behind him.
 * Hurricane Winds - King Ghidorah can produce hurricane-force winds by flapping his wings, which are capable of blowing away buildings and knocking other kaiju off their feet.
 * Durability - King Ghidorah is extremely durable and resistant to damage, to an extent close to Godzilla. He withstands conventional weaponry with no noticeable effect, and can even shrug off point-blank blasts from Godzilla's atomic breath. King Ghidorah tends to use his durability to his advantage, as he often prefers to escape from a battle that he can't win before he suffers more injuries than necessary. King Ghidorah also holds the distinction of being the only one of the Garogas' Terror-Beasts to survive his battles with Zone Fighter.
 * Magnetic Powers - In Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, while encased in the meteorite, King Ghidorah had the ability to generate what appeared to be magnetic fields that varied in strength from time to time. While it was never stated directly what purpose they served, it was stated that they were somehow connected to his powers. Zone Fighter, King Ghidorah seems to retain his control over gravity/magnetism, managing to suspend several cars midair above a research institute, though how he achieves such a feat goes unexplained.
 * Weaknesses - Though more than a match for Godzilla in a one-on-one battle, King Ghidorah tends to become overwhelmed when facing multiple kaiju at once. This proves to be his downfall in Destroy All Monsters, where he is killed in a battle against all of Earth's monsters at the same time. King Ghidorah also tends to become confused when the mind control of his alien masters is severed, which leaves him open and vulnerable to attack.
 * Flight - King Ghidorah can fly at speeds up to Mach 4 by flapping his wings. King Ghidorah is very maneuverable while in the air, allowing him to evade and destroy several F-15 fighter jets.
 * Gravity Beams - The Heisei King Ghidorah retains the character's trademark yellow gravity beams that he fires from his mouths. The beams are extremely powerful, easily leveling city blocks and even causing Godzilla visible pain.
 * Wings - King Ghidorah can produce powerful hurricane-force winds by flapping his wings. He can also use his wings like a defensive shield to block Godzilla's atomic breath. He also generates powerful shockwaves that decimate buildings simply by flying over them.
 * Constricting Necks - King Ghidorah constricts his necks around Godzilla in an attempt to strangle him, causing him to foam at the mouth.
 * Durability - King Ghidorah is highly durable and resistant to damage. He is immune to conventional weaponry, and even withstands point-blank blasts from Godzilla's atomic breath. Later in the film, he survives having his middle head decapitated and his wings shredded, and remains alive but comatose for over 200 years laying on the sea floor.
 * Weaknesses - Though King Ghidorah can withstand Godzilla's atomic breath, a direct hit to the front of his middle neck by Godzilla's more powerful spiral heat ray easily severs it. Godzilla's atomic breath also shreds King Ghidorah's wings while he is trying to fly away, causing him to plummet into the sea below. King Ghidorah is vulnerable to Godzilla's nuclear pulse, which he uses to break free when King Ghidorah is strangling him with his necks. When the computer the Futurians use to control him is destroyed, King Ghidorah is briefly left confused and vulnerable, which allows Godzilla to gain the upper hand against him.
 * Speed and Flight - Desghidorah can run at speeds of up to 180 kilometers per hour. Desghidorah's wings enable flight at Mach 23 when in the atmosphere, namely that of earth, and near-light speed in space.
 * Thermal Beams - Desghidorah is able to spit a concentrated 'pyro-beam' of magma energy from each of its three heads, called the Pyroclastic Attack Bullet (火砕流撃弾 Kasairyū Geki Dan). This ability can be used in both Desghidorah's land and final forms, however it becomes over five times as powerful in the latter. If all three of Desghidorah's heads fire the Pyroclastic Attack Bullet beams in unison, the attack is instead referred to as either the Triple Vortex Attack Cannon (三重渦撃砲 Mie Uzu Gekihō) or just Triple Vortex Attack (三重渦撃 Mie Uzu Geki). An even more powerful form of the Pyroclastic Attack Bullet, known as the Flaming Dragon Whirlwind Attack Wave (炎龍旋風撃波 Honō Ryū Senpūgeki-ha) can be achieved if the speed and rotation of the Triple Vortex Attack is increased. Desghidorah can also spit a powerful red hot flame from its mouth(s), known as the Fire Dragon Heavy Attack Wave (火龍重撃波 Hi Ryū Jū Dan Nami). This attack is potent enough to instantly set the environment around it ablaze, annihilating any plants or animals in the vicinity.
 * Strong Violent Advancing Thunder Quake - In a technique dubbed the Strong Violent Advancing Thunder Quake (剛烈駆雷震 Tsuyoshi Retsu Ka Kaminari Furue), Desghidorah can create fissures in the earth which gush magma while firing the Fire Dragon Heavy Attack Wave, resulting in the pulverization of its opponents. Desghidorah has the ability to manipulate the magma which erupts from these fissures.
 * Sky Anger Bomb Thrust - Desghidorah, after accumulating internal magma energy, can perform a powerful technique called the Sky Anger Bomb Thrust (天怒爆突 Ten Ika Bakutotsu), which entails drawing an enemy close before blowing it back with an explosion.
 * Electrical Surge - Desghidorah is able to send surges of electricity through its enemies upon biting them.
 * Hurricane Winds - Desghidorah can create hurricane-strength winds from its wings.
 * Thunder Cannon Flash - Desghidorah can protect itself in a barrier of thermal energy, called the Thunder Cannon Flash (轟砲一閃 Todoroki-hō Issen).
 * Flight - King Ghidorah can fly at a speed of Mach 3 while in the Earth's atmosphere and at sublight speeds while in outer space. King Ghidorah is able to fly even with the loss of one of his wings using a zero gravity field. Also, in a scene with a lying meteorite, in which King Ghidorah was enclosed, the surrounding trees and the earth took off into the air, which confirms the presence of manipulation of gravity.
 * Gravity Beams - Modern Type King Ghidorah can fire the character's traditional golden Gravity Beams (引力光線 Inryoku Kōsen) from his mouths. These beams are powerful enough to destroy buildings and severely injure Rainbow Mothra. He can also combine his Gravity Beams into a single concentrated blast, called the Gravity Beam Triple Tornado (引力光線トリプルトルネード Inryoku Kōsen Toripuru Torunēdo), which was sufficient to send Rainbow Mothra flying through the air but failed to even slow down Armor Mothra. Before unleashing this combined attack against Armor Mothra, his entire body emitted a golden glow.
 * Antigravity Beams - King Ghidorah can fire up to six Antigravity Beams (反重力光線 Hanjūryoku Kōsen) from each of his wings.
 * Hypnosis Beam - King Ghidorah can instill a weak mind control on other beings susceptible to it using a Hypnosis Beam (催眠光線 Saimin Kōsen) projected from his eyes.
 * Fire Balls - Cretaceous King Ghidorah can spit Fire Balls (火炎弾 Kaen Dan) from his mouths in place of his mature form's gravity beams.
 * Wing Shockwaves - While flying, King Ghidorah's wings produce hurricane-force winds called Wing Shockwaves (翼の衝撃波 Tsubasa no Shōgekiha) which blow away cars and buildings.
 * Durability - Modern Type King Ghidorah cannot be harmed at all by any of Mothra Leo's various attacks, at least until the latter transforms into Armor Mothra.
 * Regeneration - King Ghidorah is shown to have regenerated his entire body from a severed tail that was cut off by Rainbow Mothra in the past. The book Rebirth of Mothra III Super Complete Works suggests that King Ghidorah could still regenerate from the wing Armor Mothra slices off in their final battle.
 * Barrier - King Ghidorah's scales can manipulate the light from projectiles to form a protective barrier (バリア Baria). He used this ability to shrug off Rainbow Mothra's Cross Heat Rainbow Laser, Mineral Chest Beam, and Sparkling Rainbow Buster attacks. However, it failed to block Armor Mothra's Armor Heat Laser.
 * Dome - King Ghidorah is able to create a dome (ドーム Dōmu) that allows objects to pass through, yet has a corrosive effect when they try to leave. The dome's exterior is laced with tentacles that pull outside victims inside. Living creatures inside the dome slowly have their life-force drained and transferred to King Ghidorah.
 * Teleportation - King Ghidorah can teleport smaller beings inside his dome.
 * Weaknesses - King Ghidorah's younger form, Cretaceous King Ghidorah, is considerably weaker than his mature form, allowing Mothra Leo to eventually defeat him by throwing him into an active volcano. In addition, King Ghidorah's mature form is susceptible to Armor Mothra's attacks, which sever one of his wings and eventually cause him to completely explode.
 * Flight - After absorbing Mothra's energy, King Ghidorah's wings unfold and he gains the ability of flight.
 * Gravity Beams - This King Ghidorah retains the character's trademark golden Gravity Beams (引力光線 Inryoku Kōsen), but can only use them after absorbing Mothra's energy. They are shown to cause Godzilla pain, however he is eventually able to absorb their power after repeated hits and turn it against King Ghidorah.
 * Durability - This King Ghidorah's durability is somewhat reduced compared to previous incarnations, but he still survives being knocked out by Godzilla multiple times and withstands multiple blasts from his atomic breath.
 * Thunder Spark - Ghidorah can release a strong electric shock through his bite, known as Thunder Spark (サンダースパーク Sandā Supāku). After absorbing Mothra's power and becoming King Ghidorah, this ability is replaced by his traditional Gravity Beams.
 * Energy Shield - After absorbing Mothra's energy, King Ghidorah can form a golden round energy shield that deflects Godzilla's atomic breath. King Ghidorah can release this energy shield and send it colliding with the ground, which will cause a massive explosion. This attack is the first method to pierce Godzilla's skin in the entire film, opening a small wound on his neck that later proves instrumental in defeating him.
 * Weaknesses - Smaller and weaker than Godzilla, King Ghidorah is easily overpowered by his foe in close combat. In both instances where he attempts to battle Godzilla up close, King Ghidorah is knocked unconscious. King Ghidorah's skin is easily penetrated by Godzilla's teeth, drawing blood and seriously injuring him. In addition, Godzilla is capable of absorbing King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams, and combines them with his own atomic breath to produce a beam that destroys King Ghidorah in a single strike.
 * Physical Strength and Durability - Keizer Ghidorah trades Monster X's agility and his exoskeleton for even more power, being said to be the strongest member of the Ghidorah group in the Godzilla: Final Wars theater program, and is unfazed by any of Godzilla's attacks until the King of the Monsters is revitalized by Ozaki's energy. He is able to send Godzilla flying with a mere kick, clobber Godzilla with super-weight body presses (超重量ボディープレス), and easily lift him with his neck strength. Despite being slightly weaker than Monster X defensively, he is still completely unfazed by Godzilla's Atomic Breath.
 * Antigravity Beams - Keizer Ghidorah possesses a more powerful variant of Monster X's gravitational beams, called the Antigravity Beam "Destroyed Keizer" (反重力光線「デストロイド・カイザー」). Keizer Ghidorah spits these beams in continuous streams from all three of his mouths. These beams are seemingly stronger than Godzilla's atomic breath. Keizer Ghidorah can also guide their paths and pick up and throw objects with them.
 * Weaknesses - Keizer Ghidorah becomes disoriented after losing his middle head, and is easily defeated by Godzilla after this point. Keizer Ghidorah is vulnerable to his own Destroyed Keizer antigravity beams, and in Godzilla: Final Wars is tricked by Godzilla into severing its right head using these beams, while in Godzilla: Ongoing it bites off its own left head. Keizer Ghidorah is severely outmatched after Godzilla is empowered with Ozaki's Keizer energy, with his atomic breath being capable of obliterating Keizer Ghidorah's middle head in a single hit. Godzilla's more powerful red spiral ray was capable of pushing Keizer Ghidorah into outer space and completely destroying him.
 * Super Gravity - Ghidorah is said to have eaten thousands of planets through the use of Super Gravity (超重力 Chō Jūryoku). He demonstrates an ability to control gravity when he attacks the Aratrum, generating a strong gravitational field around the ship which allows him to trap it and crush it until it explodes. While Ghidorah cannot be detected by United Earth technology, the gravitational anomalies he produces are detectable.
 * Interdimensional Travel - Due to being composed of energy rather than physical matter, Ghidorah has the ability to pass through dimensions. His heads pass into other dimensions through three black portals, and his necks can extend to incredible lengths. During his summoning ritual, Ghidorah initially manifests in this dimension as a shadow that bites down on the shadows of the cultists present at the summoning, which causes their actual bodies to be dismembered.
 * Space-Time Distortion - When summoned into this dimension, Ghidorah can alter space-time. When he surrounds the Aratrum, Ghidorah interferes with its systems, constantly giving it different data and run time errors. Ghidorah can also override the ship's steering and navigation systems. He also alters the the passage of time on the ship. For example, when the crew on the bridge receive a transmission from Halu-elu Dolu-do from the engine room, it turns out the engine room was already destroyed 40 seconds ago. The Aratrum's systems also show that all life signs on the bridge have ceased even while moments before Ghidorah finally destroys the ship. When fighting Godzilla Earth, Ghidorah is able to interfere with his atomic breath by shifting space-time and causing the beam to curve around his head or be reflected to the ground. He is also able to bypass Godzilla's Asymmetrically Permeable Shield and absorb the heat he generates by converting his electromagnetic energy. Even the United Earth's tracking system are unable to track Ghidorah's electromagnetic and infrared waves, only detecting gravity waves. Martin Lazzari determined that this was due to Ghidorah coming from another dimension, meaning the laws of this dimension do not apply to him.
 * Intangibility - Another effect of Ghidorah's energy-based body composition and his extradimensional nature is selective intangibility. Both physical and energy based attacks from Godzilla Earth are shown to pass harmlessly through Ghidorah's body, while Ghidorah is able to bite down on Godzilla and restrain him.
 * Bite - Like both Mecha-King Ghidorah and the GMK King Ghidorah, this incarnation of the character is able to discharge electrical energy through his bite in order to injure Godzilla. Additionally, he can drain energy through his bite thanks to his space-time distortion abilities. He uses this to drain Godzilla Earth's electromagnetic energy and the intense heat he produces as fast as he generates it.
 * Electrical Properties - While he does not spit the character's traditional gravity beams, Ghidorah possesses several electrical properties. In addition to his electrified bite, Ghidorah emits bolts of electricity from his neck as he coils around the Aratrum, dealing severe damage to the ship. There is visible electrical sparking when Godzilla makes contact with Ghidorah's body after his connection to Metphies is severed and he becomes bound by this dimension's physics. His arrival into this dimension is also heralded by storm clouds which project repeated lightning strikes.
 * Gematron Calculation - Ghidorah has the capacity to communicate with Exif clergy through a technology called Gematron calculation. The Exif pick up Ghidorah's messages through a device wielded by Endurph and Metphies known as the Garbetrium. Gematron calculation can be used to develop advanced artificial intelligence and carry out complex mathematical calculations, as well as provide the Exif with probabilities and even predict the future. The Garbetrium is also a key component in the ritual to summon Ghidorah.
 * Weaknesses - While in this dimension, Ghidorah is guided by Metphies, who has replaced his own eye with a Garbetrium bead which allows Ghidorah to see. When Haruo destroys the bead, Ghidorah becomes subject to the laws of this dimension and loses his ability to see through Metphies. This causes him to release Godzilla Earth, who becomes able to physically strike Ghidorah with his attacks. In this state, Ghidorah is no match for Godzilla and is easily dispatched back to his home dimension once his physical manifestation is destroyed.
 * Flight - The muscle tendons in King Ghidorah's wings are described as being incredibly hyper-tensile, and their massive aerodynamics could generate hurricane-force winds when flying. When combined with his body's electro-receptor molecular biology, water vapor in the air would be superheated, creating a localized storm system as he flies, equivalent to a Category 6 hurricane. The power of King Ghidorah's flight is so great that as a result, "the stratosphere would be torn open by an otherworldly tempest of thunder and lightning [Earth's] sky has never seen." King Ghidorah flies at a speed of 550 knots, or about Mach 0.8, while all previous live-action incarnations of the character could fly at least Mach 3 while in the Earth's atmosphere.
 * Conducting Scales - Monarch scientists theorize that King Ghidorah's scales are gilded with trace amounts of aurum which act as conductors, capable of carrying bio-electrical currents throughout his body. This allows Ghidorah to conduct electricity through his body and project it in different ways, either through the gravity beams he spits from his mouth or the lightning bolts he fires from his wings.
 * Gravity Beams - King Ghidorah can spit bio-electrical golden Gravity Beams from each of his mouths that are powerful enough to tear through buildings and disintegrate human beings. The fronts of his necks glow yellow while charging this attack. This attack is also shown to cause physical harm to other Titans. With only one shot, Ghidorah was able to shoot Rodan down and a concentrated barrage was enough to disintegrate Mothra. This attack also had enough force to drive Godzilla off the ice during their first battle in Antarctica.
 * Wind Lightning - Like the incarnation of King Ghidorah from Rebirth of Mothra III, the MonsterVerse King Ghidorah can project lightning from the tips of his wings. In addition to damaging aircraft it strikes, this lightning blinds and temporarily stuns Godzilla, allowing Ghidorah to attack him. This ability damaged Ghidorah himself, scorching his wings, however this is offset by his regenerative powers.
 * Intelligence - According to cranial scans, King Ghidorah has a divergent frontal lobe density in the brains of all three heads, indicating that each of his heads can have disparate levels of cognitive functions, possibly including independent thought. Monarch has determined that each of King Ghidorah's heads exhibits its own individual personality. King Ghidorah shows his intelligence during combat, such as when he bites down on electrical wiring during his battle with Godzilla in Boston, allowing him to temporarily stun his nemesis long enough to attack him. While attempting to free his other heads from Mothra's silk the right head was able to recognize Godzilla was behind him by looking at his own reflection. Realizing that he was overwhelmed by both Godzilla and Mothra, Ghidorah wisely calls in Rodan to keep the Queen of the Monsters occupied. King Ghidorah also recognizes the ORCA frequency as a potential threat and makes several attempts to take out the source, such as when he destroys the Fenway Park speakers to cut off the sound.
 * Tails - King Ghidorah possesses twin tails which are prehensile and can be used to constrict foes along with his necks. He uses his tails to restrain Godzilla as he lifts him high into the sky before dropping him. He also has retractable spikes on the ends of his tails, though he does not seem to use them specifically in combat. King Ghidorah is seen shaking the ends of his tails in the air like a rattlesnake, possibly as an intimidation display.
 * Physical Capabilities - When not using his gravity beams to attack from a distance, King Ghidorah uses his jaws when in close combat in a similar manner to a snake. He also has the ability to constrict an opponent with his three necks and two tails, strangling Godzilla at one point. His strength greatly outclasses that of Rodan, as King Ghidorah was able to easily restrain the winged Titan's wings with his left and right heads, allowing his middle head to fire a Gravity Beam at him. King Ghidorah is also shown to be capable of lifting enemies comparable to him in size without much strain, as seen when he slams Godzilla to the ground and carries him up into the atmosphere in order to drop him.
 * Durability - King Ghidorah is immune to conventional weaponry, and is also able to withstand a blast of Godzilla's atomic breath at point-blank range, though it still pushes him back. Due to his extraterrestrial nature, Ghidorah is immune to the effects of the Oxygen Destroyer, which seriously injured Godzilla and killed all other life within a two-mile radius. King Ghidorah was seen using his wings as a shield to protect his heads from missiles. He tried using them to shield his heads from from Godzilla's nuclear pulse, but they were unable to withstand the intense heat and were incinerated.
 * Regeneration - King Ghidorah possesses an exceptional healing factor. After having his left head severed by Godzilla, he was able to completely regenerate it in a matter of moments. According to director Michael Dougherty, when one King Ghidorah's heads is severed and a new one grows, "[t]he newly regenerated head retains the memories and personality of the old one. Most of Ghidorah's neurons are scattered throughout his body and limbs, much like an octopus." During his final battle with Godzilla in Boston, Ghidorah regenerated holes and tears in his wings after absorbing electricity from a nearby power substation. Though his regeneration was unable to keep up with Burning Godzilla's nuclear pulse, he survived having his wings, two of his heads, and the entirety of his body incinerated by the attack, and was only finally killed once Godzilla burned away his last head.
 * Energy Absorption - King Ghidorah is able to absorb energy through his mouths. He is shown doing this twice in his final battle with Godzilla. At one point, he bites down on a nearby power substation and absorbs the electricity, which he projects through the tips of his wings. Later, he constricts his necks around Godzilla before biting down on him and draining his atomic energy. The energy is visible coursing through Ghidorah's necks as he bites down on Godzilla. Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Official Movie Novelization notes that King Ghidorah absorbed radiation from the Isla de Mara volcano to provide the nourishment necessary to regenerate his severed head.
 * Weaknesses - While a skilled fighter on the ground and in his element when in the air, King Ghidorah demonstrates considerable difficulty when fighting in the water, as shown when Godzilla dragged him underwater in Mexico, and likely would've been killed then and there if it weren't for the interference of the Oxygen Destroyer. His regeneration takes time, and he wasn't able to regenerate his wings and left and right heads after they were disintegrated by Burning Godzilla's nuclear pulse, nor when he was reduced to a single head before Godzilla incinerated it with his atomic breath. Because each head is capable of independent thought, they may become distracted and require the dominant middle head to get their attention and give them orders. However, all three were distracted by and pursued the ORCA when they had Godzilla at their mercy in Boston, giving him time to recover and ultimately leading to Ghidorah's downfall.
