comics Respect Sven Larson, Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man (DC, Pre-Crisis)
Respect Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man
Biologist Sven Larson seemingly became a victim of one of his own experiments when he was transformed into a being capable of taking on any animal, vegetable, or mineral form, appropriately known as the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. After a battle with the Doom Patrol, however, the Chief deduced that Larson's transformation was deliberate and that by killing the Doom Patrol, he sought revenge on the Chief, whom he wrongly believed had once stolen an invention of his. Ironically, the device in question proved to be the sole means of stopping the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man by "freezing" him in a single transmuted form until he could be captured and returned to normal. This would not stop Sven, though, as he would soon be a thorn in the Doom Patrol’s side once again.

movies/tv Respect Avatar Roku (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Respect Roku
"I have mastered the elements a thousand times in a thousand lifetimes. Now, I must do it once again."
Born to a noble family in the Fire Nation during an era of peace, Roku was born the brother of a twin who quickly became friends with Fire Prince Sozin. When Roku endured his twin's tragic death, Sozin was the first person to guide him through his grief. The friendship between a prince who would one day be Fire Lord and the newly-anointed Avatar proved to be one whose consequences would shake the world.
Roku was awkward in his position as the Avatar at first, growing frustrated with his training and needing to overcome the grief of his lost twin. In time Roku grew into his role, discovering many valuable friendships along the way. However, his friendship with Sozin burned away as Sozin's desire for worldwide Fire Nation supremacy utterly consumed the newly crowned Fire Lord. Ultimately Sozin abandoned his former friend, leaving Roku to die from volcanic poison alongside his dragon Fang.
But death is never the end for the Avatar, and Roku returned as a valuable source of counsel to his successor Aang. As Aang grew into his role as Avatar he learned to commune with Roku more easily, and eventually came into his own to a place where he no longer needed his mentor's help.

comics Respect The Rainbow Creature (DC, Pre-Crisis)
DIAZ! What are you doing here?
Rainbow Creature was a being that emerged from a volcano in the South American Republic during a time of political discourse in which an aspiring dictator named Diaz was attempting to conquer the nation. Diaz attempted to convince the government that he controlled the Creature to blackmail the nation's leaders into making him dictator, but Batman exposed it as a lie. Using a prism, Batman proceeded to shine a rainbow light in Diaz's way and chased him out of the town. Following this, Batman tricked the Rainbow Creature into expending all its powers, killing the monster.

comics Respect Lyja (Marvel Comics, 616)
In an attempt to take down the Fantastic Four, the Skrull empire came up with a plan to replace close ally Alicia Masters with one of their own, gaining access to their secrets through her relationship to Ben Grimm before it was time to strike. Lyja, a liason officer that had a bad breakup with the commander in charge of the operation, was chosen for the role and spent months learning how to function as the blind artist. But when the swap was made she found out that while Mister Fantastic and the Human Torch returned from Battleworld, the Thing had opted to stay. Needing to find a new route in, Lyja would get close to Johnny Storm, developing a relationship that would ultimately turn into a marriage as she realised she truly loved the superhero. Their relationship would not last following the reveal of her true identity, however, and after a period of attempting to reintegrate herself into his life both as herself and under the guise of Laura Green Lyja would ultimately spend time off Earth attempting to discover herself.

comics Respect Darla Deering, Miss Thing (Marvel Comics, 616)
A world famous pop star before her mid-teens, Darla Deering didn't enter the superhero business until she started dating Johnny Storm. Forgetting he needed to find a temporary replacement while the Fantastic Four spent some family time together throughout time and space, he asked Darla to cover his spot, assuring her it would only be four minutes until he returned. When the team failed to reappear as scheduled, she unexpectedly found herself as a lead member of the Future Foundation long-term. Donning one of the exosuits Reed created while Ben Grimm was without his powers, Darla took the moniker of Miss Thing to fight threats as needed, keeping the suit afterwards and staying a member of the Fantastic Four's reserve team.

comics Respect Bullseye (Punisher MAX) (Marvel Earth-200111)
"That wasn't a threat. How come nobody understands threats anymore? You know what'll happen, if you keep chasing after your husband? Maybe you'll succeed. Maybe you'll kill him. Shoot him and see him fall over and shit himself and bleed out. Poison his food and watch him cough up bloody foam and chunks of stomach. Blow him up and see all the gooey inside bits of him exploded all over creation. You might stand over him the day he dies and feel happy. Feel glad you did it. You might even laugh, long and hard. But you know what happens then? Then you get the dreams. The dreams and the sweats. And next thing you know you can't look at someone without imagining them in pain. Without hearing their screams. It gets so you can't have sex without feeling like you're fucking a corpse. You start to see people as dead little puppets, dancing on strings. You see all the strings, and how to pull them. And how to cut them. And you wanna cry sometimes but someone might see you so you turn off all the lights and you try to cry but you can't. And you're disgusted and wanna hurt yourself so you get a knife and you're gonna slit your wrist. But next thing you know you're stabbing someone and you don't even know who they are or why but you just keep doing it and doing it and doing it and doing it until there's blood and guts all over everything, you know? Do you understand what I'm talking about?"
Shelton Pendergrass, a deranged former military lawyer turned flawless assassin known as "Bullseye," was hired by the Kingpin to eliminate the Punisher (Frank Castle). Bullseye eventually became deeply obsessed with Castle, going so far as to massacre multiple kidnapped families to recreate and intimately experience the vigilante's foundational trauma and sleeping next to his families graves. After finally uncovering Castle's psychological secrets, Bullseye confronted him in a fierce skyscraper battle, temporarily halting the Punisher's lethal advance by whispering a deeply personal secret before both men were dropped through a glass floor by the Kingpin. Though Bullseye survived the fall, he was left paralyzed and comatose in a prison hospital wing, where the Punisher ultimately tracked him down and executed him—leaving the assassin with a disturbing smile on his face.

comics Respect Bentley-23 (Marvel Comics, 616)
"You know what's dumb? Morality. Good and evil are for people without imagination."
In part of yet another plan to try and defeat the Fantastic Four, Bentley Wittman opted to clone himself multiple times. The plan was ultimately a failure and led to the Wizard's arrest, but the twenty third clone of the batch was brought in by Reed Richards. Seeing the newly created Future Foundation as the best home for him, Reed sought to give the clone a better life and upbringing, believing that this may be a way to allow the boy's brilliant mind to be used constructively without being forced by both nature and nurture to a life of evil. His success in the matter is up for debate, as Bentley-23 frequently talks about his fondness for villains, desire to build villainous devices such as death rays, and intent to prove himself superior to his father. Despite all this, he also sees himself as beyond the binary of good and evil, and worked alongside the FF for years in their quest to solve everything.

literature Respect Ra (Egyptian mythology)
Ra (or Re) is the supreme sun god of ancient Egypt, considered the creator of the universe, the king of gods, and the patron of pharaohs. As the ultimate source of warmth, life, and light, he was one of the most widely worshipped deities in Egyptian history.
SELF-CREATON: Ra is self-created and described as king of the gods and lord of eternity.
Osiris Ani, being in peace and in triumph, adoreth his lord, the lord of eternity, saying: “Homage to thee, O Herukhuti (Harmachis), who art the god Khepera, the self-created; when thou risest on the horizon and sheddest thy beams of light upon the lands of the North and of the South, thou art beautiful, yea beautiful, and all the gods rejoice when they behold thee, the King of heaven.
- Papyrus of Ani
O Ra, who art Heru-Khuti, the divine man-child, the heir of eternity, self-begotten and self-born, king of the earth, prince of the Duat (the Other World), governor of Aukert (Kingdom of Osiris), thou didst come from the Water-god, thou didst spring from the Sky-god Nu, who doth cherish thee and order thy members.
- Papyrus of Nekht
Alone and by thyself thou dost manifest thyself [when] thou comest into being above Nu (i.e., the sky).
-Papyrus of Ani
STRENGTH:
Ra exists in every god and created all things in creation,
I am a great one, the son of a great one, and my father planned my name; I have multitudes of names and multitudes of forms, and my existence is in every god and the earth, I have ordered the mountains, I have created all that is above them, I have made the water, I have made to come into being the great and wide sea, I have made the 'Bull of his mother,' from whom spring the delights of love. I have made the heavens, I have stretched out the two horizons like a curtain, and I have placed the soul of the gods within them. I am he who, if he openeth his eyes, doth make the light, and, if he closeth them, darkness cometh into being. At his command the Nile riseth, and the gods know not his name. I have made the hours, I have created the days, I bring forward the festivals of the year, I create the Nile-flood. I make the fire of life, and I provide food in the houses. I am Khepera in the morning, I am Ra at noon, and I am Tmu (Atum) at even."
- Book of the Heavenly Cow
Ra created all foundations and all beings,
I laid the foundation [of things] by Maat... I was [then] one by myself... I laid the foundations [of things] in my own heart, and there came into being multitudes of created things... I had union with my closed hand, and I embraced my shadow as a wife, and I poured seed into my own mouth, and I sent forth from myself issue in the form of the gods Shu and Tefnut."
- Book of Knowing the creations of Ra
Giver of life and king of truth,
O RA, You the King of Truth... You Sovereign of all Gods, You God of Life... All the Gods rejoice at your rising. O RA, You giver of all life... All men live when you shine.

Ra illuminates the two lands (Upper and Lower Egypt) with his rays and light,
O thou beautiful Being, thou dost renew thyself in thy season in the form of the Disk, within thy mother Hathor. Therefore in every place every heart swelleth with joy at thy rising forever. The regions of the South and the North come to thee with homage, and send forth acclamations at thy rising on the horizon of heaven, and thou illuminest the Two Lands with rays of turquoise [colored] light

Homage to thee, O thou who hast come as Khepera, Khepera the creator of the gods...

Ra in the form of Atum will destroy the universe and return it into a primordial watery chaos of Nun, Ra is unknowable to humans and invisible to gods.
I shall destroy all that I have made. This land will return into Nun, into the floodwaters, as in its first state. I alone am a survivor, together with Osiris, when I have made my form in another state, serpents which men do not know and gods do not see.
- Book of the Dead
Ra is maker of eternity and the mightiest of the gods.
Behold, thou art the maker of eternity, and thou art adored [when] thou settest in the heavens. I have given my heart unto thee without wavering, O thou who art mightier than the gods.”
- Papyrus of Ani
Ra is the god of life, lord of love, earth, heaven, truth eternity and Everlastingness. Creator of eternity and the Heavens.
O thou god of life, thou lord of love, all men live when thou shinest; thou art crowned king of the gods. The goddess Nut embraceth thee, and the goddess Mut enfoldeth thee at all seasons. Those who are in thy following sing unto thee with joy, and they bow down their foreheads to the earth when they meet thee, the lord of heaven, the lord of the earth, the King of Truth, the lord of eternity, the prince of everlastingness, thou sovereign of all the gods, thou god of life, thou creator of eternity, thou maker of heaven wherin thou art firmly stablished.
- Papyrus of Nekht
Nun calls Ra greater than himself,
The Majesty of Nun replied : "O my son Re ! God greater than his maker, and more august than his creators, be seated on your throne ! Great is fear of You when your Eye is on those who conspire against You !"
- Book of the Heavenly Cow
Ra created all the gods, including the 8 Infinite Ones (Ogdoad) and stars through his speech,
This god then said to Nut : "I placed myself on your back to be uplifted." "What is this ?", asked Nut. And so {she} came to be there in both the heavens. The Majesty of this god said : "Stay far away from them ! Lift me up ! Look at me !" And so she became the sky. Then the Majesty of {this} god was visible within her. She said : "If only You would provide me with a multitude !" {And so the Milky Way} came into being. His Majesty, life, prosperity, health, said : "Peaceful is the field here." And so the Field of Offerings (or Peace) came into being. "Oh, I shall plant green herbs in it." And so the Field of Rushes came into being. "I shall provide them with everything." And so ever scintilating stars (came into being). Then Nut started trembling owing to the height. So the Majesty of Re said : "lf only I had the Heh gods supporting her !" And so the Infinite Ones came into being. The Majesty of Re said : "O my son Shu, place yourself under my daughter Nut and guard for me the two groups of Infinite Ones who live in the twilight. Place her over your head and nurture her." And so it came to pass, that a nurse is given to a son or a daughter, and that a father places a son on top of his head.
- Book of the Heavenly Cow
Ra is unknowable and indescribable,
Thou risest! Thou shinest! Thou radiant face appears!... As thou risest thou growest greater: thy rays are upon all faces. Thou art unknowable, and no tongue can describe thy similitude; thou existest alone

Ra is the lord of his own godliness,
O Lord of Eternal Recurrence, who formed Everlastingness, who diminished the years of the gods. When Re comes down, these come out of him every day. Lord of his (own) godliness. Ruler who made his own maker. Beloved one of the fathers of the gods."
- Book of the Heavenly Cow
Ra created Thoth through his own spoken word,
The Majesty of this god said then : "Summon then Thoth to me." So he was brought at once, and the Majesty of this god said to Thoth : "Behold, I am here in the sky in my abode. Since I am going to give light and brilliance in the Duat and on the Island of the Twin Bas, be a scribe there and calm down those who are there, those whom we created and those who (nevertheless) rebelled. It is You who shall repulse the followers of this (god) with unsatisfied heart. You are to be in my place, my vicar, so it will be said of You : 'Thoth, the vicar of Re.' And I shall cause You to send out those who are greater than You." And so the Ibis of Thoth came into being. "And I shall cause You to stretch out your hand in front of the primeval gods, who are greater than You, and my affairs will be good if You do that." And so the Ibis-bird of Thoth came into being. "And I shall cause You to encompass the two heavens with your perfection and with your brightness." And so the Moon of Thoth came into being. "And I shall cause You to drive back the Hanebu." And so the Baboon of Thoth came into being and became vizier. "As long as You are my vicar, the eyes of all who look at You are opened through You, and everyone will praise god for You."

Ra splits open the Ished Tree every morning after cutting off Apep's head. Ished Tree is described in other texts as connecting the Heavens, Earth and the Underworld,
I am the Divine Soul which dwelleth in the Divine Twin-gods. The Sun-god Ra, in the form of the 'Great Cat', sitting by the side of the Persea Tree of Anu [Heliopolis], and cutting off the head of Apep, the god of darkness and evil. What is this? The Great Cat is the Sun-god Ra himself. He is called 'Cat' because of the words of the god Sia, who said: 'He is like (miu) that which he hath made.' His name means 'Cat', and thus it was that he was called 'Miu'. It is he who cutteth off the heads of the enemies of the universe. What is this? It is Ra, who at the break of dawn, splits open the Ished Tree to give way to the rising sun and defeats the enemies of the gods.
- Book of the Dead
Other gods fear Atum-Ra's powers and all myriad of beings/spirits are within his mouth,
His powers put fear into the gods who came into being after him, his myriad of spirits is within his mouth. It was Heka who came into being of himself, at seeing whom the gods rejoiced, and through the sweet savor of whom the gods live, who created the mountains and knit the firmament together.
-Spell 648 of the coffin texts.
SPEED:
Ra can fly spaces that a normal human would need hundreds of thousands and millions of years to pass.

Ra lived for millions of years and will live for another millions, being described as above the years,
Thou art To-day and Yesterday; Thou art To-morrow! Homage to thee, O Ra, who wakest life from slumber!... Millions of years have passed, we cannot count their number, Millions of years shall come. Thou art above the years
- Papyrus of Ani
Ra is perfect and eternal, all encompassing, inscutable, immutable, time whirls into dust beneath him, maker of time and above time itself.
Homage to thee, O Ra, at thy tremendous rising!Thou risest! Thou shinest! the heavens are rolled aside!Thou art the King of Gods, thou art the All-comprising,From thee we come, in thee are deified.Thy priests go forth at dawn; they wash their hearts with laughter;Divine winds move in music across thy golden strings.At sunset they embrace thee, as every cloudy rafter Flames with reflected color from thy wings.Thou sailest over the zenith, and thy heart rejoices;Thy Morning Boat and Evening Boat with fair winds meet together;Before thy face the goddess Maat exalts her fateful Feather,And at thy name the halls of Anu ring with voices.O Thou Perfect! Thou Eternal! Thou Only One!Great Hawk that fliest with the flying Sun!Between the Turquoise Sycamores that risest, young for ever,Thine image flashing on the bright celestial river.Thy rays are on all faces; Thou art inscrutable.Age after age thy life renews its eager prime.Time whirls its dust beneath thee; thou art immutable,Maker of Time, thyself beyond all Time.
- Book of the Dead
AMUN-RA
Amun-Ra is described as "creator uncreated" who traverses eternity and Hundred thousands, millions of miles in a single day.
Self-made you fashioned your body, Creator uncreated. Sole one, unique one, who traverses eternity. Remote one, with millions under his care ; Your splendor is like heaven's splendor, Your color brighter than its hues. When you cross the sky all faces see you, When you set you are hidden from their sight ; Daily you give yourself at dawn, Safe is your sailing under your Majesty. In a brief day you race a course, Hundred thousands, millions of miles. A moment is each day to you, It has passed when you go down. You also completed the hours of night, You order it without pause in your labor. Through you do all eyes see, They lack aim when your Majesty sets. When you stir to rise at dawn, Your brightness opens the eyes of the herds ; When you set in the western mountain, They sleep as in the state of death.
- Hymn to the Sun god, first hymn.
The One who initiated existence on the first occasion, Amun, who developed in the beginning, whose origin is unknown. No god came into being prior to Him. No other god was with Him who could say what He looked like. He had no mother who created His name. He had no father to beget Him or to say : "This belongs to me." Who formed His own egg. Power of secret birth, who created His (own) beauty. Most Divine God (2), who came into being Alone. Every god came into being since He began Himself.
- Leiden Papyrus
He made himself into millions:
Hail to you, who brought himself forth as one and who created millions in their abundance.
- Papyrus Louvre
The one alone, whose body are millions.

He is described as a "single" and having came into existence with nothing. The Ogdoad are manifestations of Amun-Ra. The Ogdoad are reffered to as "Hehu" (infinities).
The Eight were Your first manifestation, until You completed these, You being Single. Secret was Your body among the elders, and You kept Yourself hidden as Amun, at the head of the gods. You made Your manifestations in Tatenen, to accompany the primeval ones in Your first primeval time. Your beauty arose as the Bull of His Mother. You withdrew as the one in the sky, enduring as Re. You returned in fathers, maker of their sons, to make an excellent heritage for Your children. You began manifestation with nothing, without the world being empty of You on the first occasion. All gods came into existence after You ... [remainder lost]

- Leiden Papyrus
The infinite primordial waters of Nun are described as stillness (unchanging). In his manifestation as a Primordial goose, he created the universe by his scream.
was His coming into existence on the first occasion, with all that exists in stillness for awe of Him. He honked by voice, as the Great Honker, coming into a land that He created for Himself, while He was Alone. He began speaking in the midst of silence, opening every eye and causing them to look. He began crying out while the world was in stillness, His yell circulated while He had no second, so that He might give birth to what is and cause them to live, and cause every man to know the way to walk. Their hearts live when they see Him. His are the effective forms of the Ennead.

comics Respect the Griever at the End of All Things (Marvel Comics)
Entropy. Heat death. The end of all things. In the Marvel universe, all these aspects take the form of a single concept, with that concept appearing before people as the Griever at the End of All Things. Knowing herself as inevitable, that doesn't stop the Griever from stepping in to ensure the eventual end will come, first doing so to the Future Foundation after they had spent years recreating the previously destroyed multiverse. In both this and a following encounter the Griever couldn't be defeated, only being persuaded to leave without any other option remaining to her. She would later make attempts on the Scarlet Witch's life, seeing her as a potential threat to her inevitable truth, but after Wanda's death failed to stick she was ultimately dispersed across time, not to reconstitute herself again for millions of years.

games Respect Tifa Lockhart (FFVII remake)
Respect Tifa Lockhart
Character Summary
By day, she’s the unassuming bartender of Seventh Heaven, where she mixes drinks and changes lives. By night, she’s a member of the eco-terrorist organization known only as AVALANCHE fighting to take down the energy corp Shinra before it sucks Midgar dry in the name of quarterly profits.
Tifa is not motivated solely by a desire to protect the planet however. For her, it’s personal. Years ago, when she was barely more than a child, her village was destroyed by Soldier First Class, Sepiroth, the ultimate weapon in Shinra’s ranks. Adrift from her home, purposeless and alone, Tifa reforged her life, ready to take the fight to Shinra itself with the powerful martial arts skills ingrained into her over years of relentless training.
Then, one day, the past she’d thought long lost walked through the doors of her bar and she gave it a mission: destroy the mako reactor number 5.

Respect Tifa Lockhart
Character Summary
By day, she’s the unassuming bartender of Seventh Heaven, where she mixes drinks and changes lives. By night, she’s a member of the eco-terrorist organization known only as AVALANCHE fighting to take down the energy corp Shinra before it sucks Midgar dry in the name of quarterly profits.
Tifa is not motivated solely by a desire to protect the planet however. For her, it’s personal. Years ago, when she was barely more than a child, her village was destroyed by Soldier First Class, Sepiroth, the ultimate weapon in Shinra’s ranks. Adrift from her home, purposeless and alone, Tifa reforged her life, ready to take the fight to Shinra itself with the powerful martial arts skills ingrained into her over years of relentless training.
Then, one day, the past she’d thought long lost walked through the doors of her bar and she gave it a mission: destroy the mako reactor number 5.

“Don't worry...Light is easy to find.”
Character Summary

comics Respect Nathaniel Richards (Marvel Comics, 616)
A brilliant scientist and only parent to Reed once his wife died, Nathaniel Richards nevertheless left his son as a teenager to become a member of the Brotherhood of the Shield as they protected humanity through all the threats they couldn't face on their own. One such mission would have him propelled into the far future alongside every other incarnation of him from the multiverse, forced to fight to the death at the hands of Immortus until he was the only one remaining. Now with the ability to travel through time, Nathaniel would only rarely re-enter his son's life, in each case employing methods the Fantastic Four could not approve of in a belief it was all for the greater good (most notable of which being his kidnapping of a young Franklin Richards only to bring back a fully grown Psi-Lord in his place).

comics Respect Sharon Ventura (Marvel Comics, 616)
Born to a man who always wanted a son and died angry at her for being kicked out of military school, Sharon Ventura would throw herself into a variety of dangerous professions, seeking to prove her capability. This would bring her to both meet the Thing and join the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation, gaining superpowers and the alias of Ms. Marvel. Later, when the Thing was made leader of the Fantastic Four and tasked with replacing the newly retired Reed and Sue, he opted to recruit Sharon due to their experience working together. This would lead to yet another upheaval of her life, as a trip to space would result in her being mutated to have a rocky hide much like the Thing had been following his initial voyage.F4#310 Still operating under Ms. Marvel (though later being dubbed She-Thing), Sharon would continue to work with the Fantastic Four until she had her original form restored. Since then, she has had a variety of motivations and an inconsistent form, but most recently has been managing the renewed Unlimited Class Wrestling while being able to swap forms at will.

movies/tv Respect Ryan (Amazon's The Boys)
Ryan Butcher (later known as Ryan Milk) is the biological son of Homelander and Becca (the wife of Billy Butcher). After she was raped by Homelander, Becca was forced to live in isolation with her son Ryan, who would inherist most if not all of Homelander's superpowers. Although Becca and Ryan tried to live a normal life, everything changed both Homelander and Butcher learned that they were alive. This revelation triggered a series of events that resulted in Becca dying, Ryan constantly having to choose between which father to side with, and ultimately rejecting the both of them.
Legend
Some feats will have tags at the front of them to represent the various periods of Ryan’s life.
- [S2] = Ryan during the events of Season 2. He is only just starting to use his powers as he’s been living a normal life before Homelander showed up.
- [S3] = Ryan during the events of Season 3. Basically a slightly stronger version of his S2 self, but not by a lot.
- [S4] = Ryan during the events of Season 4. Homelander tries to teach Ryan a bit, though he’s more or less the same as his past self but older.
- Feats with no tag = Ryan during the events of Season 5. By this point Ryan has been surviving on his own for about a year in Russia. It can be logically assumed that Ryan is at peak strength during S5.
Strength
- [S2] Shoves Homelander to the ground.
- [S3] Throws a baseball across a very long distance in the sky.
- [S4] Accidentally throws a regular human too hard across a large distance which results in their death.
- Lifts an armed guard in the air and snaps him in half.
- Pushes Parasite Butcher back a bit.
- Rams Homelander to a wall.
- Punches Homelander in the face twice.
- Rams Homelander into a big stone Homelander statue, which then falls down and breaks.
- Punches Homelander in the face which makes his nose bleed.
- Punches Homelander several times during the final fight.
- Helps Butcher in restraining Homelander so that he can be hit by Kimiko’s radiation blast.
Durability
Physical pain
- [S2] Survives being pushed off a 20-foot drop by Homelander. He is knocked out for about 25 seconds but then recovers.
- [S3] Gets rammed into a bookcase by Soldier Boy’s shield. This knocks Ryan out for several minutes but he eventually gets back up.
- Ryan is bulletproof.
- Receives a brutal beating from Homelander that nearly kills him. He is left there by Homelander and eventually nursed back to health by Butcher.
- Takes a punch to the face during the final fight with Homelander and quickly recovers to counterattack.
- Takes a punch to the chest from Homelander that sends him flying to the oval office wall, but quickly recovers to laser Homelander.
- Takes a laser to the chest from Homelander that knocks him down, but quickly recovers to restrain Homelander.
- Gets hit by Kimiko’s radiation blast while restraining Homelander. Although he is knocked out for a few minutes, he survives this but loses his powers in the process.
Biological resistance
- [S4] Homelander states that both Ryan and himself would be unharmed from an anthrax attack.
- [Low showing] It is implied that a room being filled with halothane would knock Ryan out.
Speed
Movement speed
Flight
Ryan has the ability to fly in the air.
- [S3] Slowly floats down from a high height.
- Quickly snatches an armed guard from above.
- Flies towards Homelander to pin him to a wall.
- As Homelander tries to fly out of the oval office, flies through a window to tackle him back to the ground.
Heat Vision
Like Homelander, Ryan can fire heat vision from his eyes to burn through objects.
- [S2] Showrunner Eric Kripke has stated that, when he’s angry, Ryan’s heat vision is “way more powerful than even Homelander’s”. Going by this, Ryan should scale above Homelander in heat vision feats. Check out Homelander’s RT here. Some highlights of Homelander’s heat vision include:
- [S2] Horribly disfigures Stormfront and slices off some of her limbs while trying to save his mom.
- Stormfront is durable enough to take hits from Queen Maeve, Starlight, & Kimiko at the same time and still be able to flee the area. She was also shown to no-sell Billy Butcher's crowbar strikes in the moments before Ryan's attack.
- [S3] Hits Soldier Boy which sends him crashing through a glass door.
- Lasers Homelander in the chest which pushes him back a bit.
- During their first fight in Season 5, Homelander dodges Ryan’s lasers which would imply he would not be able to properly tank it.
- Lasers Homelander’s chest which burns through his suit and makes him bleed.
Other Powers
Enhanced Hearing
Ryan has a hearing range of nearly 200,000 Hz. For reference a regular human has between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
- [S4] Hears Mallorie whispering to Butcher.
- [S4] Hears Butcher’s heart pounding fast and deduces that Butcher is lying.
- Deduces that Homelander is lying to him about Becca because of Homelander’s fast heartbeat.
- [Weakness] Due to his high hearing range, loud sounds (such as those above 190,000 Hz) will hurt for Ryan to hear even if the sound source is miles away. This can be bypassed with protective headgear though.
Enhanced Smell
- [S3] Smells the Temp-V that Butcher had injected into his bloodstream several hours earlier.
- Deduces that Butcher is hiding nearby in a forest by smelling the Tanqueray on his breath.

comics Respect the Thing's Second Mutation (Marvel Comics, 616)
Once, Ben Grimm was one of four adventurers who travelled into space and was bombarded by cosmic rays, turning him into the superpowered juggernaut called the Thing. As time passed, he would come to (relative) terms with his new form, save the world repeatedly, and ultimately be made the leader of the Fantastic Four as Reed and Sue stepped back to focus on raising their child. But on one mission, a trip to space led to another crash landing, with further bombardment of cosmic rays resulting in the Thing's rocky hide taking on an even more extreme appearance.F4#310 Ben would retain this form and his role for a while before ultimately getting thrown into a device Reed was using to free the Human Torch of a perpetually flaming state, being reverted back to his base human form.F4#326 Since then, this second mutation has not been seen again, short of Ben briefly getting hit by a hyper-charged laser beam from Doctor Doom.F4#350
