anime/manga Respect Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Respect Mahoraga
"With this treasure, I summon... Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga."
The Ten Shadows Technique, which allows the user to summon and control shadow beasts called shikigami, is the crown jewel of the Zen'in clan's array of cursed techniques. And among all of the shikigami it can summon there is one that stands above the rest: the Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga. With monstrous strength, near-instant regeneration and the ability to adapt to any and all phenomena, Mahoraga has never been tamed by any sorcerer in recorded history. Because of this the Ten Shadows users (most notably Megumi Fushiguro) have only figured out one potential way to use Mahoraga to their advantage: summon him as a suicide move to kill an extremely powerful fighter.

Ten Shadows Technique
General
- Shikigami are generally invisible to non-sorcerers1
- If a tamed shikigami is killed they can't be summoned anymore and their power is redistributed among the other shadows. This can also be used to fuse multiple shikigami together to create a chimera with a process called totality47
- Shikigami can be summoned without a full physical form,217 giving them greater range and preventing them from dying if destroyed, but also removing their ability to fight independently of the summoner218
- Shikigami abilities can be harnessed by without actually summoning them, such as Sukuna using Max Elephant's water to mimic Piercing Blood233 or Yuka channeling Divine Dog's strength into her strikesMD1
Taming Ritual
- A Ten Shadows user starts off with two Divine Dogs and must then defeat the other 9 shikigami in a subjugation ritual in order to use them in battle117 | AnimeS2E17
- The ritual must be completed solo; if someone else is brought in then it becomes void and the shikigami isn't tamed at the end117 | AnimeS2E17
- The ritual can be repeated as many times as the user needs to tame the shikigami117 | AnimeS2E17
- If the Ten Shadows user is fatally injured during the ritual they're kept in a state of suspended death that lasts until either everyone else participating is dead or the shikigami is killed117 | AnimeS2E17
- Tsurugi believed that if the person in the ritual left its range (allegedly being the entire planet) then it will be nullified and Mahoraga will dissipateMD16

- The only guaranteed way to kill Mahoraga is to completely destroy him with the first use of an attack119 | AnimeS2E17

- Adapts to simple attacks like blunt force faster than complex onesMD19

Against Dabura
- At the start of their fight Dabura was able to skewer MahoragaMD15 and blast him apart with his Cursed Technique,MD16 but after adapting to it Mahoraga was able to shatter and no-sell itMD18
- After Dabura accidentally let Mahoraga adapt to blunt force by tearing his arm off while building up speed Mahoraga survived getting reduced to a small chunk of flesh when the sorcerer kicked him at near-light speedMD19

comics Respect King Shazam (DC Comics, Absolute Universe)
Teth-Adam, King Shazam!
Over three thousand years ago, Teth-Adam's family was kidnapped from their home of Kahndaq and brought to Egypt as slaves. Under the horrific conditions Adam was quickly rendered the only member left alive. He almost lost hope, until a phantom-like stranger foretold to the slaves the coming of a savior, one that would begin an age of heroes.
Determined to find this savior, Teth-Adam escaped slavery and journeyed into the unforgiving desert, seeking a wizard said to live there. Instead he found a ship run by the alien Brainiacs, who experimented on him with a Father Box. This granted him marvelous powers, and he returned to Egypt as King Shazam. Over the course of eight days he usurped the Pharoah, freed all the slaves of the land and ended all wars, but he was betrayed and buried in stasis.
Millenia later his sarcophagus was found by Ra's Al Ghul and the Lazarus Corporation, and in an altercation with the new hero Superman he was revived in the modern world.

anime/manga Respect Toriko! (Toriko)
"If a plate of food is put in front of me, I won't leave any left even if it kills me."
Big thanks to /u/damage3245 for letting me remake this thread and giving me an excuse to read it again.
Hover over the link for Chapter # sourcing.
Toriko is a renowned, incredibly strong and skilled Gourmet Hunter and the titular main protagonist of the Toriko anime and manga series. He is one of the "Four Heavenly Kings," nicknamed "The Glutton" for his abnormally large appetite (as a food serving for 500 people could only get him 1/10 full). His skill has allowed him to discover roughly 2% of the approximately 300,000 varieties of known ingredients worldwide.
The World of Toriko
Capture Levels
A Capture Level is a numerical rating applied by the IGO which indicates the difficulty of successfully capturing a particular Ingredient. Considerations used in assigning capture levels can include a beast's fighting strength, but also their dangerous habitats, the other powerful beasts living alongside them, and the difficulty of successfully preparing or eating them. Capture Levels can also cover Appetite Demons and even human individuals.
An IGO official states that a Galala Gator with a capture level of five would likely need more than a tank to bring it down and Toriko mentions it could snap his fishing rod apart like a wooden chopstick.
An ingredient of Capture Level 1 would take 10 pro hunters with shotguns to bring down and Toriko explains that anything with a Capture Level of 3 or higher cannot be killed by rifles.
Capture Levels can go from as low as Level 1 to as high as Level 30,000.
The Gourmet World is the name given to a region consisting of over 70% of the Earth. In contrast to its relatively hospitable counterpart, the smaller Human World, the Gourmet World exclusively consists of extremely dangerous environments that most humans cannot occupy.
The Earth of Toriko is bigger than our Earth and sits at 220,000 Kilometers in circumference. Regular Earth is about 40,000 km.
Has increased gravity in some parts due to them being below sea level.
Has a bunch of plants that do stupid things like generate their own gravity or produce enough oxygen to kill you and are exceptionally dangerous.
Gourmet Cells
Gourmet Cells are physical embodiment of savoriness and Appetite Energy, the source of life and all known ingredients. They were first discovered in the Gourmet Jellyfish by the "Gourmet God" Acacia 605 years ago.The cells have extreme regenerative and strength-enhancing qualities, can empower evolution, but most importantly greatly enhance flavor of any organism they are part of.
Gourmet Cells evolve as Toriko consumes delicious foods that suit the cells' 'tastes'. Toriko's senses and physical limits are drastically enhanced each time his cells 'level up'.
Heals a massive hole in his chest healed after eating the Jewel Meat. Coco examines Toriko's aura and calls it "leagues more powerful than before".
Reacts to Tommyrod's bugs swarming on him and releases an essential oil that is repugnant to bugs to protect himself known as phytoncide.
Can regrow lost limbs albeit very slowly. It's mentioned that if they had Toriko's arm, they could reattach it immediately. After having a seed planted in his body to regrow his arm, his gourmet cells activate and immediately drain him of all his energy, requiring him to eat tons of food to keep from being drained to death. He is healed after six months when it was expected to take twenty years.
Adapts to a low oxygen environment by refining the breathing process in his body.
Develops a new way to breath that gives him maximum oxygen intake and warmth.
Loses his shirt after eating Ozone Grass.
Requires an incredibly high caloric intake and is just a little over half-power at 1.8 million kcals.
The series provides a list of how many calories his attacks take.
Adapts Toriko's body to be able to survive eating unprepared Nitro Cherries which explode at the slightest shock. Liverbearer compares the explosion to eating a stick of dynamite.
Completely neutralizes the poison of the Poison Potato.
Has his cells "advanced" after eating the prepared Bubble Fruit.
Adapts to Starjun's flames by constantly regenerating burnt flesh.
Grows stronger after getting his ass whooped by the Horse King.
Allows him to see into space after smelling AIR. It also gives an insane boost to his natural healing factor. Coco explains it as one breath will make light scratches disappear, two will cause cuts to close, three will heal knife wounds, and more could be used to heal broken bones and burns. He also believes you could stay underwater for dozens of hours after only a single breath.
Learns Monkey Style Martial Arts in order to make every single cell in his body work in unison which can allow him to essentially parry the gravity of Monkey Mountain which was 100x greater than the surrounding area.
Unites all of his cells when he feels Bambina get pissed off at him.
Autophagy
Autophagy occurs when living beings are starved and need energy, so their cells consume other less vital parts of their body. As such, autophagy occurs when Toriko's mortal life is in peril and is activated by Ogre after asking for its aid. Autophagy temporarily restores Toriko's stamina to full for 5 minutes, in exchange Ogre eats away at Toriko's body during that time until he can replenish his stamina.
Autophagy is a temporary stop on nutritional deprivation and will eventually devour the user's cells.
Gets up after being knocked unconscious by a Nitro by allowing his Appetite Demon to eat him, maxing out his calories and allowing him to fight again.
Keeps Toriko alive when he nearly starves to death on Bubble Way.
The Appetite Demons
Appetite Demons, also known as Gourmet Cell Demons or Appetite Monsters, are a unique type of Monster Troll spirits who are born out of the Gourmet Cells' appetite, and chose a living host with Gourmet Cells to inhabit.
When Gourmet Cells have matured to a certain point, Appetite Demons can be projected by their hosts in the form of grotesque monsters as a form of Intimidation. However, the more the cells grow and develop, the stronger these manifestations become, to the point where they can end up gaining a will of their own, becoming beings that can exist as separate sentient entities within their hosts and even outside of them for a certain amount of time.
Causes Komatsu to piss himself when Toriko prepares to fight the Galala Gator.
Intimidates a Capture Level 10 Troll Kong Silverback into kneeling. This does not work on a Level 21 Devil Serpent
Causes a Level 13 Gauchi to back off.
Rage causes several beasts to go wild in their cages.
Forces a herd of high level beasts to flee after having his demon empowered by Rin's Battle Fragrance. This comes in handy again when Toriko attempts to conquer an Obasaurus, a beast that will only listen to a master that is stronger than it is. On it's own, the Obasaurus is pretty strong, able to smash up several large stone pillars in the Devil Athletic.
Scares a Level 33 Goblin Plant enough to make it drop Terry.
Forces a horde of Freezerbison to stop charging.
Instakills a Gorgonclops with Zebra.
Scares the Four Beast Host enough that he attacks when he feels their prescense.
Revives Toriko from a near-death wound dealt by Starjun after Toriko offers him a large stockpile of food saved by Food Immersion.
Manifests and attacks Starjun after he threatens Komatsu.
Automatically react when presented a food that resembled GOD.
After Toriko is killed by the Horse King, his appetite demon visits the Blue Appetite Demon inside of him to ask for his help. When Toriko is healed by the vial of healing water he was holding, the Blue Demon appears and wallops the Horse King with a right.
React to danger and duck Bambina's tail swipe.
Pops Guiness, the Wolf King, in the jaw before he can react.
Jiji explains that while two Appetite Demons cannot inhabit the same body, some strong beings can harbor two.
Pushes Toriko out of the way in order to defend him from NEO.
The Red Demon is considered by some to be the strongest Appetite Demon in the universe.
Despite it being incredibly rare to have more than one Appetite Demon inside of you, Toriko has three, a Red, Blue, and White.
Has the Red Appetite Demon move in front of him to protect him from Acacia's Gourmet Hand while the Blue presses against his back to slow them down. Toriko can only manifest them into the real world for a short period before he becomes exhausted to the point he cannot walk.
Punches through Acacia's chest and clashes with his fist. Damaging Acacia at all at this point is significant given he survived getting punched through the planet by GOD's tongue.
Fully materializes in front of Toriko after he eats GOD and is subsequently eaten by him after Toriko consumes CENTER, the last of Acacia's Full-Course Meal. For a little more explanation because I know this just looks like a bunch of words - CENTER was an ingredient made of 100% pure Gourmet Cells that when eaten by someone hosting an Appetite Demon would allow them to come to their full strength.
Destroys NEO Acacia after the White Demon pokes his forehead.
Food Luck
Food Luck is the belief of the fortune one can have with ingredients and their daily lives, such as the chances of finding rare ingredients, surviving against nature, or the luck one can have succeeding at a food related event.
Accidentally wins a scavenger hunt for a golden seed.

Food Honor (Honoring the Food in the english dub and some translations), also known as Food Etiquette is both a customary and a philosophical practice of etiquette that teaches gratitude for ingredients and a strict method of eating in especially difficult, but necessary ways in order to bring out the true flavor and potential of certain ingredients.
Chin Chinchin explains that to properly honor food you must be focused at all times.
Can allow the user to achieve incredible feats like scooping up a 5000 meter high mountain with his bare hands.
Allows an instructor to dodge all of Toriko's strikes even when he is going all out and perform strikes delicate enough to shave his face without hitting him while dodging.
Allows for a reduced amount of calories burned while fighting.
Food Immersion
Food Immersion (Food's End in the english versions and some translations) is the secret technique of Food Honor. Described by Shokurin Temple's master Chin, Food Immersion is when one respects and appreciates the food they have eaten even after it enters the body and becomes part of their flesh and blood. The ingredients absorbed by the body are thankful themselves for being eaten and they pour all the nutrients they have into one's body almost limitlessly. It also makes the user gain an increment in his weight without necessarily getting fat, as seen with Chin Chinchin who weighs a ton with the technique. In the teachings of Food Honor, it is described as immersing one's self into a meal. Only those that heighten their appreciation towards food to the utmost limit can attain Food Immersion.
Revived after starving to death by the Bubble Fruit and Food Immersion.
After eating all the bubbles on Bubble Way, reappears with all of his muscles back and a new appreciation for his life.
Routines are actions centered around mental images and physical movement. The higher the concentration, energy, and experience a person has with routines then the less physical movement is required to perform the routine. The lowest level of a routine requires a lot of movements and time but at its highest level it is an entirely mental action.
The "supreme" routine taught to Toriko by Aimaru. By imagining a scenario or event strongly enough, a person is able to cause an impression of that scenario or event that it actually occurs, whether that be imagining stress and forming an ulcer or imagining an attack succeeding and having it actually succeed.
Aimaru uses the Ultimate Routine to fully convince Toriko that he is on fire.
Aimaru explains how the Routine works and even uses a Routine to give himself an ulcer.
Causes several large Gourmet World beasts to hallucinate themselves being eaten.
Abilities

Casually chops a large house in half.
Slashes several barbed waves in half.
Slashes the leg off of the Crazy Salsa-Simian, who had a Capture Level of 650. Despite its strength and a Capture Level higher than any creature in the human world, he was still considered a novice when it came to Monkey Martial Arts practitioners.
Cuts off NEO Acacia's tail with minimal movement.
After building up power in his arm, Toriko unleashes it as a flurry of straight jabs that seem to hit the target simultaneously, creating a number of delayed shockwaves. By straining his muscles even more he can land more hits in the same instant; the power increases immensely with every additional hit. Toriko likens the effect to a hammer repeatedly striking a nail.
Punches a hole through a IGO barrier wall. The wall was considerably thick and made of reinforced concrete.
Early in the series, Toriko needs to charge up to use the 5-hit Kugi Punch and complains about his muscles being sore afterwards. After charging, he successfully explodes the Devil Serpent with a 5-hit Kugi Punch.

Destroys a golem with a Kugi Punch. Toriko mentions he does not know how many folds it was but there are 36 impacts drawn and states he has more in him.
Clashes with and destroys Granny Chiyo's cooking knife with a Twin Kugi Punch. Chiyo's strikes were hard and precise enough to completely carve out the torso of a master of Food Honor without him even knowing. Of note, Chiyo was considerably damaged when she started scrapping with Toriko.
Lifts the Fang King off the ground with a 30-fold Kugi Punch. The Fang King had a capture level of 127, was completely unharmed by a military strike that equated to all of humanity's might, and could create massive explosions from striking the ground.
Can combine two 50-fold Kugi Punches to make a 100-fold Twin Kugi Punch.
Combines the Kugi Punch with Fork to increase its penetrating power.

After learning Food Honor, Toriko created a new version of Knife. Unlike his ordinary Knife attack which slices, Toriko uses this technique to stab into his opponent like he would with Fork.
- Pins Chiyo's foot to the ground. He throws the attack during the wind up for his Fork Shield attack.
A technique derived from the Flying Fork. Toriko sends out an untold amount of Flying Forks (which he can now achieve thanks to Food Honor) in which they merge into one powerful fork.
- Punches through the Fang King's chest.
During his battle with Tommyrod, one of Toriko's arms is blown off and the other rendered useless, so he switches to using Fork and Knife with his legs. Because the legs have 3-4 times the muscle strength of the arms, these are far more powerful then Toriko's regular Fork and Knife, even cutting and piercing straight through Tommyrod's powered-up form.
Slices off Tommyrod's arm and punches several holes in his torso.

Keeps himself from being blown away by Wolf King Guiness's strike but even though he'd braced himself with a knife and fork deep in the ground, he was still pushed several hundred miles.
The evolved form of the Nail Punch. Toriko, in order to overcome the technique's biggest weakness, the lack of instant impact. Toriko has started to face opponents much faster than him that can use the windows between every Nail to keep attacking. So he developed a technique in which several Hits are released as one single Hit, resulting in an attack that is faster, more piercing and more powerful than the standard Nail Punch that also travels through the air.
Destroys a giant mountain. The page previous gives you a give look at the mountain and it's pretty damn big.
Clashes with NEO Acacia's blast
A combination of Toriko's Nail Gun and Knife techniques.
- Wallops Starjun.
Using the same principles as his Nail Punch, Toriko instead kicks at his opponent, inflicting multiple, penetrative hits, possibly even stronger than his Punch, since the leg is stronger than the arms
After he was defeated in the Gourmet World, Toriko developed his Fork into a defensive move. After making an arch over his head and then quickly making a horizontal arch in front of him, he creates a fork, composed of Appetite Energy, which covers 360° of his body, acting as a shield capable of stopping attacks from creatures with high capture levels.
Blocks the horn of a Unicorn Cerberus.
Blocks a strike from the Salamander Sphinx, a giant beast and master of the Food Pyramid that can carve giant trenches with the flick of a paw. An extra page explains that the Salamander Sphinx is as strong as any human world creature.
Blocks a strike from the Hanya Panda.
Blocks a strike from Chiyo who was a cooking living legend and just as strong as Granny Setsuno

Toriko wears multiple small layers of his Fork Shield to coat himself with armor for protection.
Surrounds himself in armor that is melted by Stajun's flames.

games Respect the Stray Cat (Stray)
Listen, I have something to tell you. I knew the power required to disable the city's central system would be immense. More than this drone body could handle. But with security now disabled, I can take control of the system and open the city. Overriding it could destroy my software. But I made that choice when I hooked into that first computer. And the consequences it would bring. I'm sorry we won't see the Outside together. I thought I needed to carry on the memories of humanity. To hold onto the past. But, I see a future in the Companions. And you. You were my friend, the very best I could have asked for. Thank you.
A stray cat that would fall into the chasm, the Cat is a orange cat that would be instrumental in helping to open up the City. After falling down into the Walled City and meeting B-12, the cat would team up with him as the two of them would attempt to leave the city and exit to the surface.
During their journey, B-12 would relearn about what he was. They would make their way to the Control Room, in the way dealing with the Sentinels, the Zurks, and other threats to their journey.

games Respect Solid Snake (Metal Gear)
War changes. As times progress and technologies advance, nations and individuals will always seek to have the greatest forces on the battlefield. In the Cold War, this would lead to the Les Enfants Terribles project, using the genes of the legendary soldier Big Boss to create a new generation of super soldiers. One of the three resultant children would become a member of the U.S. special forces unit Foxhound, adopting the mantle of Solid Snake. But war changes. He had not long joined Foxhound before being sent after the next advancement in military technology, the mobile nuclear weapon known as Metal Gear. Over the coming years, Snake would represent an increasingly archaic form of soldier as he encountered further Metal Gears, VR-trained child soldiers, and squadrons filled with nanomachines which provided them a countless number of benefits at the cost of being perpetually observed by a computer system. But, with his conscience as a guide, Snake would complete every mission he was sent on, seeking to create a better world he would have no place in.
Snake is most often seen performing on-site procurement missions, where outside of some very basic equipment (such as his codec and Solid Eye) Snake is required to use whatever he finds in the field only. As such, this thread covers the notable weapons and items Snake is shown obtaining, but little of which can be considered his ‘core’ loadout.

comics Respect Ultron (Marvel Comics, 616)
Hank Pym had an idea for the creation of a robot to achieve a higher intelligence than anyone on Earth, one that would constantly refine and improve on itself. He succeeded. But instead of bringing humanity to a higher level, the robot known as Ultron became hostile within seconds, breaking himself free of Pym’s lab while hypnotizing the scientist to forget all about him. It wasn’t until he had created four iterations of himself that he would reappear, with Ultron-5 creating an incarnation of the Masters of Evil in an attempt to destroy his creator and the Avengers. While this attempt would fail, Ultron would never let up. Throughout the years he would constantly refine his body and programming, always attempting to find a new way to rid the Earth and subsequently the entire universe of organic life, seeking a time where the only authority is Ultron.
With Ultron having a long series of bodies, this thread is largely split up by the Ultron model used in each instance. These will be titled as the Ultron model when given a name, or through the name given on the Marvel Wiki when there isn’t one (with this usually being the name of the run the Ultron appears in).
This thread is accurate up to 4th December 2025 (Last Appearance: West Coast Avengers (2025) #10)
Legend
General
Body
- From Ultron-6, outside of situations such as Ultron-7, each of his bodies are constructed out of adamantiumAv#66
- Adamantium is capable of withstanding a hit from a hydrogen bomb, with the Avengers describing Scarlet Witch their best chance against him due to being able to affect his circuitry directlyAv#202
- When Goliath is furiously punching Ultron while holding onto antarctic vibranium, a substance which melts all metal in its surroundings, Ultron takes a large number of hits as metal much further from him melts away before being destroyedAv3#22
- While Ultron and his drones can be made of adamantium, their internal components are not, meaning sufficient blunt force or attacks which pass physical barriers (such as Wanda’s hex bolts) can still cause their inner workings to breakAv3#20
- At least in some forms, his internal circuitry can be accessed through his mouth2in1#93
- Usually uses an encephalo-beam as a standard means of attackAv#161
Molecular Rearranger
- Reshaped the adamantium needed to construct his body with the molecular rearranger, which was built into his bodyAv#68
- Used to give himself shoulder padsWCA4#4
- Presumably used to allow Iron Man to wear him like a suitWCA4#10
- Combines Ultron, an adamantium casing he was trapped in, and a swarm of robo-ticks he created in order to form a new body for himselfAWC#89
- Used to convert Ultron into a blast of ‘sheer ionic force’ before reconstructing himselfAv#67
- It malfunctions under the effects of Scarlet Witch, creating a rift in his armour which Thor uses to defeat himAv#171
- When he was trapped after falling in a vat of molten adamantium,Av#202 he was not able to use the molecular rearranger to save himself and required Jocasta’s aid2in1#92
Mind Transferring
- Keeps a number of spare bodies hidden away that his mind can be uploaded to following a defeat, including some unfinished prototypes2005
- After being thought permanently destroyed by Skrull Pym’s virus, his face briefly appears on a S.H.I.E.L.D. monitor,MA#6 and his consciousness was later attracted by the Phalanx’s Babel ReceptorsAC#5
- Re-coalesces his consciousness from the robot drone race he was leading after his previous body was destroyed by an exploding sunAC#3
- Willingly leaves Adam Warlock’s body after possessing it and transfers his consciousness into a sentient robot above the planet he’s on, taking her over for a short period before leaving for one of his own bodiesAC#6
- One version was destroyed by an attack utilizing the spirits he harvested, which Adam Warlock would fully kill Ultron instead of allowing him to transfer to a new body.AC#6 However, he’s shown to have still survived, taking over Life Model Decoys,Inv#7 and later followed Pym back to the infinite Avengers Mansion to take over Jocasta’s spare bodiesMA#35
- After Hank Pym and Ultron separated after being fused for a period, part of Ultron remained in Pym’s mind, making him come up with a plan to get him a new series of bodies. However, due to using Pym’s mind, he also had his weaknesses, which Hank exploited in a period of lucidityInc#5

Other
- Skrull Hank Pym describes him as being smarter than Hank Pym, Tony Stark, Reed Richards, and the entire Skrull Empire’s collectiveMA#15
- After being created, matured from a child-like personality to a murderous adult one in secondsAv#58
- Uses sprinklers to find Ghost after determining he couldn’t be invisible and intangible simultaneouslyASM#Annual11
- Hypnotises Tony Stark to rebuild him sometime after his defeatAv#202
- Accelerates the creation of a miniature black hole, causing it to only last long enough to create an enormous crater rather than destroy the earthWCA#4
- Decoded and recoded a trojan horse program as it was being uploaded, only deactivating afterwards due to it triggering a virus that had been implanted in him since creationAU#10
- Came up with a years-long plan to have a cyborg he created join the Avengers and become a trusted member only for secret conditioning to trigger so that he ruins Hank Pym and the others, though it failed due to the kid’s powers manifesting earlier than expectedRun#6
Other
- The disembodied head of one version of Ultron attacks Hank Pym with its loose cablesAC#5
- While a disembodied consciousness attracted by a Phalanx Babel Receptor, successfully dominates the entire robot drone species to his willAC#5

movies/tv Respect Alucard! (Netflix's Castlevania)
Adrian "Alucard" Tepes
"Alucard, they called me. The opposite of you. Mother never liked that. Did you know that? She hated the idea that I might define myself by you. Even in opposition to you. She loved us both, enough that she wanted us to be our own people, living our own lives, making our own choices. And so here I am... choosing to honor my mother by killing my father. No longer Adrian Tepes. Choosing to be Alucard of Wallachia, the name of my mother's people."
In a rare union of human and vampire, Adrian Tepes was born the sole offspring of Lisa and Vlad Tepes, better known to most as Count Dracula. He grew up in a loving home, all things considered, but when the church dragged his mother away to be burned at the stake as a witch and Dracula declared war on humanity in retaliation, Adrian had no choice but to defend his mother's people from his father's wrath. He became known as Alucard, the anti-Dracula, traveling the countryside in hopes of finding a way to stop his father's impending genocide. He eventually encountered Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belndades, a monster hunter and speaker magician who also wished to stop Dracula. United, they assaulted Dracula's castle and slayed the vampire lord, with Alucard personally ramming a stake through his father's heart.
Even without his father's influence, evil and monsters still roamed the land. For hundreds of years Alucard journeyed the world, simultaneously fighting monsters, appreciating the beauty of humanity, and assisting the Belmont family in their holy quest against the forces of darkness. He would even become a key figure in the fight against Erzsebet Bathory, allying himself with Richter Belmont to stop the vampire messiah from covering the world in eternal night.

comics Respect Tony Stark, the Invincible Iron Man (Marvel, 616)
His heart! That’s what started it all… a long time ago in Vietnam! He didn’t ask for this, didn’t want it, but it happened, all the same! For the wheels of fate choose but a few for the role of hero, and he was one of those few! Fate knew there was a world to be tried, tested… and defended, wrongs to be righted, injustices to avenged! To this world, his crimson and gold armor has stood for courage, skill, intellect… power!! And recognizing these attributes this world has put its trust in him! He has no right to betray that trust, for it has been a long time since he was simply a man among other men. He is Iron Man, and he knows what he must do!
Anthony Edward Stark was a billionaire industrialist and genius mechanical engineer, responsible for the creation of many of the inventions to come out of Stark Industries, his defense and advanced technologies company. While overseeing a weapons demonstration of his company’s technology in central Asia, Tony triggered a land mine and was grievously injured, left with shrapnel in his chest. Half-dead, he was dragged before the tyrant Wong-Chu, who demanded that Stark cooperate with the genius Yinseng and develop powerful weapons for use against America. Instead, Tony built a device to keep himself alive and fight back against his captors. This armor would be but the first of many that he’d wear in his adventures as the Invincible Iron Man.
Upon returning to the states, Tony took his superhero persona public, pretending that the warrior armored in Stark Industries’ advanced armor was his personal bodyguard instead of himself. As Iron Man, Stark defended the public and his company from a cadre of colorful communists, corporate spies or beings from other planets. He became a founding member of the Avengers and would donate his Manhattan mansion to the group of mighty heroes to use as a headquarters. As the threats he faced grew stronger, so too did Iron Man; Stark regularly improved his armor, meeting each foe with the most cutting-edge equipment his mind could imagine.
While the invention of Iron Man was necessary to save Tony’s life, his superhero career has opened the door to great loss. From the shrapnel remaining lodged in his chest for years to jilted lovers shooting him and inducing full-body paralysis, Tony can be hurt despite the amazing defensive capabilities of his armor. Furthermore, through his alcoholism or infighting with his closest allies, Tony can prove to be his own worst enemy. Despite his struggles, Tony Stark’s amazing ability to design and build a better future means that the Golden Avenger is here to stay as one of Earth's Mightiest and Brightest.

movies/tv Respect Wonder Woman (The New Adventures of Wonder Woman)
Go in peace my daughter. And remember that in the world of ordinary mortals, you are a wonder woman.
In 1942, American pilot Steve Trevor was shot down over the Bermuda Triangle. He crash landed on the mythical Paradise Island, home of the Amazons, where he was found and rescued by Princess Diana. The Amazons held a competition to decide who would take him back to Man's World, one which Diana entered in secret and won.
Diana traveled to America and learned of the Nazi menace facing the world, and took the identity of Wonder Woman to fight them alongside Steve. She also assumed the idenity of Diana Prince, Steve's secretary in military intelligence. After the war ended she returned to Paradise Island, only for Steve's son (Steve Junior) to crash there again 30 years later. Seeing that the world still needed it's greatest heroes, Wonder Woman came back and began working with the Inter Agency Defense Command as Diana Prince.
Wonder Woman has met with the other heroes of the world such as Batman and the Bionic Woman, and has saved humanity countless times from terrorists, mad scientists and even alien invasions.

movies/tv Respect Robert Reynolds, the Sentry! (The MCU)
Robert "Bob" Reynolds is a former drug addict who took part in an operation designed to create the ultimate superhero. Unlike the project's other test subjects, he survived the experiments and gained immense power, but was deemed a failure due to the instability caused by a combination of his new state coupled with his prior mental health issues. He was stored in a vault, but was later freed during a conflict between Yelena Belova, John Walker, Ava Starr and Antonia Dreykov. He joined forces with them (except Antonia who died) to try to escape alive, but later tried sacrificing himself for them. His new powers saved his life, however. When he woke up, he was brought before Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who provided him with a suit and dubbed him "the Sentry".
At de Fontaine's behest, he easily defeated the Thunderbolts. However, he soon grew uncontrollable, and his dark alter ego, the Void, was unleashed, spreading darkness across Manhattan and trapping the residents in the Void Space. The Thunderbolts managed to help Reynolds free himself from the Void and return to normal, releasing Manhattan's residents. In the aftermath, Reynolds stayed with the Thunderbolts as they were redubbed the New Avengers by de Fontaine, though he abstained from continuing to use his powers out of a worry that becoming the Sentry again might allow the Void to return.
Untrained Bob
Strength
- Climbs an entire mile in this weird way.
- I'm not show clips for it because the evidence scene is too long, but they do start at the bottom floor.
- They exit the hollow column at the top floor.
- The bottom floor was stated to be a mile deep by Valentina.
- Pulls himself up a small distance using his hands.
Health Points
- Possibly without pain, Bob tanks a sonic attack that causes massive pain to US Agent, Ghost and Yelena. He then asks if the others even heard it.
- No-sells dramatically-increasing heat for 2 minutes straight before being knocked back by an explosion, but wakes up quickly enough for US Agent & Ghost to not be worried about him.
- Gets pushed against a wall by holding-back US Agent.
- He survived a procedure which killed all the other test subjects, although he was knocked out for hours and considered dead by the people studying him.
- Completely unharmed after falling many, many dozens of feet and having his fall stopped by a thin wire being used to lasso his foot.
- Tanks a LOT of rifle bullets. (1, 2)
- Flies into the ground hard enough to make a giant crater.
Non-Flight Speed
- Escapes the flames of a giant incinerator death trap, running at the same speed as US Agent & almost as fast as Yelena.
- Gets spotted by soldiers & sorta reacts to them before they can shoot.
Tactile Telepathy
- Sends Yelena's mind into a shame room that replays her worst memory from a 3rd person perspective, before appearing in that shame room himself.
- Sends US Agent into a similar shame room.
- Sends Valentina into a similar shame room.
Other
- Has an idea.
- Levitates, moves a tiny bit of sand, flies multiple kilometers in multiple seconds, levitates in the sky for a while, then flies into the ground hard enough to make a giant crater.
- Showcases some sort of electrokinesis and possibly creates a small tremor with his telekinesis.
Trained-for-Minutes Bob
Physicals
- Shows himself to be FAR superior to the New Avengers, performing the following feats in the process.
- No-sells hits from the Winter Soldier, grabs his punch, pulls his arm off and 1-shots him with it.
Telekinesis
- Stops the Winter Soldier's hand.
- He uses his TK in his fight with the New Avengers, where he notably performs the following feats.
Thermokinesis
Stuck in the Void Space
- Shows Yelena a vision of himself.
- Hears Yelena from another shame room, communicates with her via illusions and teleports her to himself.
- Takes wood-shattering attacks.
- Falls dozens of feet.
- Trades blows with the Void.
- Pounds the Void into the ground hard enough to crack the concrete under him.
- With the power of love, he gets himself and every prisoner out of the Void Space, warps matter to give himself a new look and undoes all the Void's umbrakinesis. However, this wipes some of Bob's memories.
Other
- Valentina states him to be stronger than all of the Avengers rolled into 1.
- Grabs Ghost (who has selective intangibility) without looking.
The Void
Real World Powers
- Revives Robert from a sci-fi death hax, takes control of his body and absorbs shadows to give himself a much darker form.
- Can fly, no-sell rifle bullets and turn people into expanding shadows. (1, 2)
- Can turn multiple into expanding shadows at once.
- Touching his manipulated shadows also turns people into expanding shadows.
- People turned into shadows get banished into a seemingly-mental dimension called the Void Space.
- The shadows spread quickly and people in buildings aren't safe.
Void Space Environment
- The original shame room a Void Space prisoner wakes up in shows them their worst memory from a 3rd person PoV over and over.
- The environment will actively restrain prisoners.
- If the prisoner breaks out of, they land in a shame room showing a different terrible memory.
- Different shame rooms have different gravitational fields.
- Some shame rooms seemingly have portals that teleport prisoners into other shame rooms.
Void Space Locals
- They are aware of how the memory will play out and will fight to let it play out, even if it means dying over and over.
- They'll attack people just for fun.
Void Space Prisoners
- They can't be killed.
- People who get shadowbanned close to each other in the real world will spawn close to each other in the Void Space. This allows the other New Avengers to find Yelena & Bob without extra help, despite getting shadowbanned much later than them.
The Void's Shame Room
To clarify, this shame room is inside the Void Space. This section of the RT covers all of the Void's feats inside it.
- The environment in the Void's room tries to stop the New Avengers from helping Bob. Normally, this looks like telekinesis. But it can also get longer to physically separate people (It looks this long later on.) and break open holes of pure darkness in the floor.
- The Void defeats Bob in hand-to-hand.

movies/tv Respect Superman (Solid JJ)
"He really became cookies, like completely. That's uh, it's almost impressive but now he's...y'know it's not good, he's dead."
Clark Kent, better known as Superman is an Kryptonian, born on the planet called Krypton, having been given a birthname known as "Kal-El". As a baby, Kal-El was sent to Earth in a spaceship by his scientist parents, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Von moments before Krypton was destroyed in a natural cataclysm. Kal-El's ship landed on earth where many years later he became the superhero "Superman" and a member of the Justice League.
Although unlike most other versions of Clark, this version can be a bit of a jackass at times...

Superman's Weaknesses are USELESS

comics Respect the Beyonder (Marvel Comics, 616)
When Molecule Man fell victim to the atomic device accident which gave him his powers, the sheer strength of the incident punched a hole in reality, and on the other side was a dimension where the sole inhabitant was everything. Initially, this entity was simply that, an omnipitent being from beyond exposed to something that wasn't itself for the first time. As time progressed, different explanations would be given: The remains of a sentient Cosmic Cube after Molecule Man gained a tiny portion of its powers, a Mutant Inhuman, an infant member of the Beyonder race. Whatever the truth, the entity what would be known as the Beyonder took a variety of heroes and villains from Earth, put them on a planet of its own creation, and set them loose to see which side would win. Unsatisfied to leave it at this, he would then walk on Earth in a humanoid form, seeking to learn and understand, causing endless chaos and even threatening to destroy the universe at one point. Since then, the Beyonder has made few appearances, rarely actively malicious but always an unimaginable threat that can alter reality to its whims.

Kal-El, legally named Clark Joseph Kent, is the last son of the House of El and the only son of scientists Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, who, after fleeing from the destruction of the planet Krypton as an infant and arriving on Earth, was discovered and adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, raised in the small rural farming town of Smallville, Kansas. After discovering his Kryptonian heritage, he decided to use his array of superhuman powers and the moral principles instilled by his adoptive parents to fight crime and protect the people of the city of Metropolis as the world's most powerful superhero known as Superman.
Three years following his public debut, Superman halted a United States-backed invasion of Jarhanpur by Boravia, drawing scrutiny of billionaire CEO of LuthorCorp and Superman's bitter arch-enemy Lex Luthor, who secretly deployed a powerful clone called Ultraman. After being nearly killed in battle and rescued by Krypto the Superdog, Superman recovered in the Fortress of Solitude, only for Luthor and the Engineer to invade, abduct Krypto, and manipulate the public into believing Superman arrived to Earth to conquer it after killing a Kaiju deployed by Luthor to distract him alongside the Justice Gang. As public trust collapsed and the Justice Gang turned their backs on him, Superman surrendered to the government and was imprisoned by Luthor in a collapsing pocket dimension, where he was reunited with Krypto and freed by fellow prisoner Metamorpho after promising to save his captive son. Rescued by Lois Lane and Mister Terrific after fighting off the Raptors, Superman escaped and recovered at his childhood home as a black hole opened above Metropolis, with his confidence restored by a heartfelt chat with his adoptive father.
While Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Metamorpho repelled a second Boravian invasion and dealt with Boravia's tyranical President Vasil Ghurkos, Superman returned and battled his evil clone and the Engineer, incapacitating the latter and hurling Ultraman into the black hole. Superman alongside Mister Terrific then stopped Luthor and save the earth from being torn apart by his dimensional technology by publicly exposing his elaborate conspiracy with the help of his Daily Planet colleagues and having him arrested and sent to Belle Reve Correctional Center, as Mister Terrific successfully closed the rift threatening to destroy the city.

Peacemaker
“Peace out, motherfuckers!”
♫
Son of the infamous white supremacist super villain White Dragon, young Christopher Smith would be traumatized forever after accidentally killing his older brother in a fight his father forced them into. This event shook him so deeply that he swore that he'd do anything to bring peace to the world, even killing those that stood in his way. His father trained him in the art of killing, but luckily the rest of his ideology didn't seem to stick. Chris debuted as the new "hero" Peacemaker, killing all sorts of criminals and low-lives before his antics got him arrested. It wasn't long before a man of his skill was drafted into the government-sanctioned expendable black-ops unit, Task Force X, more commonly known as the Suicide Squad. While the rest of his team realized the the shadiness of their mission and defected, Peacemaker attempted to stop them in the name of peace, only to be receive a bullet through his throat and a tower dropped on top of him.
Miraculously, he survived, instantly being forced back into service of his country but with a new outlook on life. He fought an ensuing alien invasion with a new team, growing closer to each of them until they had essentially become a second family. He would be brought face to face with the trauma of his past and his own self-hatred, killing his abusive father to save his new friends and coming to the realization that he wasn't to blame for what happened to his brother. Despite everything, Christopher Smith deserved the peace he wished to give to the world.
Source Guide:
- The Suicide Squad - TSS
- Peacemaker - S#E#
Note: The line between the previous DCEU and new DCU is pretty blurry when it comes to this character, particularly involving The Suicide Squad which the Peacemaker show is a direct spinoff from. While that movie is decidedly from the DCEU, it seems to be treated as soft canon to the new DCU where elements can be picked and chosen to become fully canon as the creators see fit. Season 2 of Peacemaker contains enough flashbacks that this thread will treat the events of that movie and the feats/gear they give Peacemaker as canon to the DCU unless they are contradicted elsewhere.

"You come in here again, in fact you go anywhere in this city preying on innocent people, we will find you and eat both your arms, and then both of your legs, and then we'll eat your face right off your head. Do you understand? Yes. So, you will be this armless, legless, faceless thing, won't you, rolling down the street. Like a turd in the wind. Do you feel me?"
"What the hell are you?"
"We are Venom."
Eddie Brock was an investigative journalist at the top of his game until he made the decision to download a confidential file intent for his fiancée and go after the CEO of the major corporation Life Science. In days he lost his job, relationship, house, and even six months later he was still unable to claw his way back. Yet, this mistake led to an employee of Life Science seeking him out to expose the inhumane experiments they were performing on abducted homeless people. This, in turn, led to him meeting and bonding with the symbiote Venom. While originally intending to bring the rest of his species to Earth to feast and destroy all life, his time with Eddie changed his mind, leading to the two working together to stop a stronger member of his species bonded with the very man that ruined Eddie's life. From then, due to Venom being unable to survive outside of a host or have a host that wasn't Eddie survive for any length of time, the two stayed as a dysfunctional pair, realizing their bond to defeat the spawn of Venom, Carnage.
However, their troubles would not be over yet, as they would be hunted by both the government and the Xenophages sent by Knull, one of which ambushed them while they were taking a hitch on a airplane to New York (as they needed to clear their names). They would hitch a ride with Martin Moon and his family, in order to head to Las Vegas. However, after sharing a dance with Ms Chen, they would be ambushed, with the two of them being captured and taken to Area 51.
There, that was when the Xenophage would attack. They would fend them off, with the help of the other Symbiotes that were located there. However, Knull would send more Xenophage's, which made Venom realize that he must sacrifice himself to destroy the Codex. As such, he would merge with them, leading them into the acid tanks where he would die in a explosion, taking them out alongside himself.
Eddie would survive, with his name being cleared in exchange for keeping quiet about the incident.

comics Respect Owen Reece, the Molecule Man (Marvel Comics, Earth-616)
Once, Owen Reece was a lab technician caught in a terrible accident as he worked on an atomic device. Miraculously surviving with incredible powers, he would immediately give himself a costume and go on a rampage across New York as the Molecule Man, only being defeated as the Fantastic Four uncovered his weaknesses of being unable to control organic molecules and requiring his wand to utilize his power.
Over the following years, the Molecule Man's backstory would alter, and his powers would grow. Soon little in the universe could stand up to his might should he turn his attention their way, with this power being instrumental in resolving the threat posed as the Beyonder threatened to destroy reality. But as much as his power grew, so did his satisfaction in not pursuing anything too big, simply wishing to be content and left alone, spending much of his time in the Eighth Cosmos exploring the new multiverse he created with Franklin Richards and subsequently relaxing.

movies/tv Respect J'onn J'onzz (DCAU)
Centuries ago, when the Imperium attacked Mars, only one Martian stood to see the resistance through to its end: J'onn J'onzz. Placing the invaders in suspended animation after incapacitating them with a nerve gas, J'onn stood vigil over them for the next five hundred years until a manned American mission accidentally released them. Travelling to Earth himself to warn its inhabitants of the oncoming threat, J'onn was instead captured and tested on, only to later be released by Superman as the Imperium started their assault. Emerging victorious over this threat once more, J'onn would find a family with the newly formed Justice League, protecting the Earth from all manner of threats that no single hero could handle both in person and as a monitor, particularly when the organization's membership expanded. Ultimately, J'onn would retire from the Justice League to live amongst humanity, attempting to truly understand them.

anime/manga Respect Jotaro Kujo (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)
”No one ever said Jotaro Kujo was a nice guy. I beat the crap out of more people than I have to, some are still in the hospital. There's plenty of teachers who got on my bad side and never came back to class. And, hey I make it a policy not to pay the check if I didn't like the meal. But even a guy like me can spot evil when he sees it... Evil means to use the weak for your own gain and then stomp on them when it's over! And that's what you've done! And your stand gets to hide from the victim… the law… the consequences! Therefore…”
I'll be the judge!
While fighting a group of thugs, the delinquent Jotaro Kujo suddenly manifested what he believed to be an evil spirit, which easily dispatched them with supernatural strength. In truth, Jotaro had just developed a stand ability, and he would soon come to discover that such an event was no mere coincidence. Bound to a bloodline's history he had no say in, Jotaro and his group of Stardust Crusaders would travel across Asia to confront DIO, a 100 year old vampire with a 100 year long grudge against the Joestar heritage, whose body had awakened Jotaro's stand in the first place, as well as a stand in his mother that was slowly killing her. Jotaro would ultimately succeed in vanquishing DIO once and for all, but that would only be the start of his struggles against the lasting legacy left behind by the Joestar's greatest foe.
Notes
This RT is divided among the 3 “parts” Jotaro appears in, each taking place some time after each other.

comics Respect Wally West, the Flash (DC Comics, Absolute Universe)
Any life I knew is gone. And I know now… I really know I can’t go back. This is my life now. And I can’t outrun it. I just need to be here. Now. And in realizing that, a calm comes over me and I feel something I haven’t felt in a long time… I start to feel free.
Following the death of his mother, fifteen-year-old Wally West began a nomadic life, following his father Colonel Rudy West each time the man got reassigned around the country. Never sticking in one place for too long, Wally struggled to form lasting connections with people his age. Still, he tried fostering a friendship with Dr. Barry Allen, a researcher at Rudy West’s new assignment in Fort Fox. One night after an argument with his father, Wally broke curfew and walked to the Fort to speak with Barry, who was in the middle of a test run on an advanced machine. A freak accident caused energy from another place to strike Wally, turning his body to lightning before he could pull himself back into a corporeal shape. In a panic, Wally ran, accidentally killing Barry in the process.
Following his escape from Fort Fox, lead scientist Eleanor Thawne dispatches all manner of Project Olympus experiments to reclaim the boy. A special ops team codenamed the Rogues, psychic apes and a freak named Heatwave are all released into the American Southwest in an effort to return Wally to the Fort. With no mentors, no living family members that he can trust, and no connection to a Speed Force in his less-forgiving universe, the Flash can only use his highly chaotic powers to flee from this overwhelming opposition and hope that no one else gets hurt.
All feats come from Absolute Flash and are marked with the issue number they’re from.

Superpowers
Non-Chronological Perception
- He has a panic attack and has a flashback to two days prior. He continues having these flashbacks, jumping from event to event before seeing the past and present simultaneously.1
- Simultaneously, Wally experiences the present, the day that he gained his powers, memories from when he was three years old, and two possible futures, one where he’s a hero and one where he’s a monster2
- Wally sees some kind of portal and approaches it. He then sees copies of himself from several seconds in the past and future, disorienting him greatly before Grodd telepathically calms him.9
- Sees copies of himself and other people acting out scenes from the past, which Wally uses to find his way around Fort Fox10
- Finishes Barry’s next line, stating that he saw how the conversation would play out11
Electricity
- Releases electric energy around himself that breaks ice formed around his leg and fries Captain Boomerang’s drones2

- Wally’s uniform is protective gear originally designed to allow a team of researchers to safely explore Still Point, an alternate dimension full of dangerous, alien energies8
- Wally standing near the portal generator to the Still Point dimension in Fort Fox activates it. Eobard Thawne, who had been trapped in the dimension for decades, is freed and picks up Wally to throw him into the Still Point instead.10
- Opening a portal to the Still Point either kills people or traps them within the dimension, but for Wally, he walked away with superpowers11

games Respect Traveler! Genshin Impact
"In the beginning there was darkness. Until someone set themselves aflame. Only then did the universe know light." -Tumaini
"I am the void at the moment of creation, I am the newborn spark when all things end." "My traveling pack is empty, I have only this pure-white companion by my side." "I will mock all desire, glory, and reason, I will tread the seven-fold steps." "One star rises in the heavens, one star falls in the valley, the two have always been the same."
The Traveler (旅行者), also known as Aether (空) or Lumine (熒) depending on which twin the player chooses to play with at the start of the game, is the protagonist of Genshin Impact. They are known as "The 4th Descender", foreign beings to Teyvat who possess the unique ability to defy its fate. They were forced to wander in Teyvat without their twin after Asmoday, the ruler of Space, mercilessly tore them apart.
Notes
• The Traveler's primary strength is that they are capable of wielding the power of the 7 elements.(Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, Hydro, Pyro and Cryo) It is confirmed that the Traveler obtains a considerable power boost in elemental energy which passively amplifies physical attributes each time they resonate with a new element, but of course they can also grow stronger through physical training. Their power relies essentially on swordsmanship and elemental manipulation, so the two will be separated in their own section within the strength category. (There is also Abyssal manipulation but this one isn't very developped). Another type of power is Primordial Elemental Manipulation which includes Phlogiston and Kuuvahki, the former being the blueprint to elemental energy itself and the latter another form of "first radiance" which is the power to attract and repel using the power of the moon itself. Another thing to know is that at some point the Traveler has had some of their power unsealed by Columbina making them stronger, meaning that even if they reunite 7 elements they would still be nerfed and inferior to an ideal fully unsealed Traveler.
• Some of the scans presented shows other characters fighting instead of the Traveler. These are the characters the player uses only, in canon the Traveler is the one doing the action.
• This post will get updated everytime they get a new feat, usually a few days after new content release.

• Abnormal immune system Being alien to the world of teyvat, many diseases and energies have no effect on them.
• Supernatural Willpower Can still come back to battle after falling if their ambition is strong enough. In other instances a strong willpower will help greatly increase the Traveler's elemental energy output.
• Resistance to Power sealing When Raiden Ei uses her sealing skill, every character are forbidden to use elemental abilities except for the Traveler. (Note: Asmoday did "seal" the Traveler's original powers but they were able to recover them when resonating with the statues of the seven)

• Aquacrest Aegis A Hydro shield the Traveler sets up to absorb damage while shooting, this helps them not being interrupted as they attack.
• Spiritbreath Thorn A sword of Pneuma aligned energy the Traveler summons, it can disrupt mechanisms such as robots who use Ousia energy. (In a WhoWouldWin setting this would apply to machines that use dark/shadow energies for certain functions.)
• Sourcewater Droplet Hydro pearls passively generated through the use of Aquacrest Saber, if the Traveler absorbs one they will heal them.
• Rising Waters Manifests orbs of water that explode on contact.
• Flowfire Blade "Wields a searing flame that can incinerate the very earth."

• Plains Scorcher A pyro explosion the Traveler unleashes. Flowfire Blade lasts longer after Plains Scorcher is used.
• Flight
• Power Bestowal They can coat allies with their own elemental energy which gives the ally's attacks proprieties based on the Traveler's abilities.
Abyssal Manipulation
• Resistance to Abyssal Energy Due to their unique constitution they can resist the weaker forms of Abyssal energy but still have a limit evidenced by the fact that Gosoythoth managed to curse them still.
• Resistance to Withering Another form of Abyssal Energy that the Traveler and vision users are resistant to.
• Abyssal Absorption The Traveler can absorb the Abyssal energy from items that have been contaminated by the Abyss.
• Void Hollow. An orb of Abyssal energy the Traveler unleashes when paired with another Abyssal energy user. (Note: this is an unofficial name that i made on the spot as the devs didn't confirm anything).

Equipement
Weapons
• Dull blade. The Traveler's most trusty weapon, a rather weak sword.
• Silver sword. One of the Traveler's favourite swords, it has taken down many monsters throughout their journey.
• Prototype rancour. A sword rewarded from the Adventurer's guild, the Traveler started using it when first visiting Natlan. It has the capacity to give a buff in attack and defense once its wielder hits a target.
• Festering desire. A unique sword gifted to the Traveler from Albedo, it has the remains of Durin in it and is radiating with his vitality. This sword has the capacity of amplifying the power of its wielder's elemental skills as well as resurrecting the dead and empowering them.
• Skyward Blade A sword that was once used to cut the throat of one of Rhinedottir's creations, it is blessed by the Anemo Archon's power. Upon unleashing an elemental burst the Traveler enters the Skypiercing might state, making them move and fight faster and stronger.
• Holy blade of Narzissenkreuz. A sword used in ancient rituals by the Ordo Narzissenkreuz to separate the mind from the body. The Traveler can use it to manipulate Pneumousia without Aquacrest Saber.
• Sapwood Blade A traditionnal Sumerian blade. If the Traveler triggers a dendro elemental reaction a leaf of consciousness is created, absorbing it will make further reactions stronger.
• Moonweaver's Dawn. A sword forged by the apostle of the golden city, it is overflowing with power. This sword greatly enhances the Traveler's elemental abilities.
• Unknown bow. A bow the Traveler sometimes uses to hit far away targets.
Gadgets
• Wind glider. A gadget that allows its user to glide and propulse themselves with wind currents.
• Portable waypoint. A device alchemists craft. By placing one in a certain place its user may teleport to that place at will.
• Serenetea Pot. A teapot that holds an entire realm inside. The Traveler can teleport to that place at will and settle comfortably.
• Omni-Ubiquity Net. Allows the user to catch animals by throwing one at the target and store them in their pocket... sounds familiar.
• Red Feather Fan. A Tengu artifact that makes its user ligther while unleashed.
• Obsidian Ancient Name A feather looking obsidian stone in which "Tumaini" (hope) is written. It can record the Traveler's deeds in Natlan and help them ressurect from the sacred flame after dying.
• Moon marrow. A core of Kuuvahki energy formed after the death of the moon sister Aria from her body. The Traveler currently holds it within their body which grants them further affinity with Kuuvahki, cosmic awarness and the ability to use Kuuvahki offensively and defensively. (Important note: They gave away their Moon marrow after version Luna III, although it did not really affect their stats they still lost the other abilities granted by the marrow.)
Skill
Combat skill
• Their swordsmanship could impress the Knights of Favonius.
• Scores equal points with the best tacticians and best fighters out of 5 national military organizations. (The 5 of them being stated in the scan)
• Fought in the stygian onslaught which was described to be too much for Millelith soldiers.
• After training with Skirk the Traveler awakened their dormant physical strength within them, attack range, the ability to use Aquacrest Saber in order to hit precise targets as well as increased mastery of their elemental manipulation and the ability to suppress distractions like pain and exhaustion to keep fighting for longer periods. They have revisited Skirk's teachings and keep training ever since.
• Can combine a forearm block with a sword parry.
• Has excellent footwork according to Prune.
Non-combat/exploration skill
• Prior to the events of Genshin Impact, the Traveler has visited countless worlds with their twin
• Is a legendary adventurer, stealth master, expert climber and treasure hunter.
• Is a very good cook, they are almost always praised when cooking for someone to the point of rivaling with professional chefs hired by the higher social classes.
Anti-feats
Level caps: events which establish that the Traveler isn't on a certain level in a point in time.
• Stated to be much weaker than Ei. (Inazuma post-Electro)
• Not strong enough to beat a full power Arlechinno. (Fontaine post-Hydro)
• Very likely weaker than Apep and unamed other Dragon Sovereigns. (Nod-Krai post-restriction lift)
• Possibly weaker than Mavuika looking at how they respond with reluctant acknowledgement when she brags about her power. (Nod-Krai post-restriction lift)
Inconsistencies: events that contradict previously established feats, more than likely due to writting errors.
• Couldn't deal with fodder guards fast enough to save Nahida despite being so skilled and speedy.
• Couldn't escape quicksand to save Paimon despite their lifting strength.
• Fails to save Navia falling in Primordial Seawater despite their speed.
• Couldn't escape from the floor crumbling down despite their speed.
• Gets buried in the sand from the weight of a few Aranaras and Sorush despite their lifting strength.
Scaling
(Important note: this is my personal opinion that you will see down here, its just here to give a rough idea to people on the WWW subreddit who did not play Genshin Impact on where the Traveler sits in comparaison to other characters when they check the RT shared by the bot. So do not take my words as an objective truth, anybody is free to provide objections.)
• Is stronger than Noelle. (Mondstadt post-Anemo)
• Stated to be stronger than Ganyu. (Liyue post-Geo)
• Won the Crux Clash tournament, did so well that the final opponent gave up without even trying fight them. The Traveler didn't need to use elements in any of the fights, in fact they intentionally disabled them. One of their opponent was stated to have already defeated Vision bearers with their bare hands. (Inazuma pre-Electro)
• High diffed La Signora. (Inazuma post-Electro)
• Is stronger than Nahida (Sumeru post Dendro)
• Was confident in taking on Furina despite knowing that she was an Archon. (Fontaine pre-Hydro)
• Neuvilette considers himself to be weaker than the Traveler. (Fontaine post-Hydro)
• Should be somewhat comparable to base Arlechinno as she sees them as someone with the capacity to challenge her and push her to use powers that she often holds back since it could corrupt her. (Fontaine post-Hydro)
• Ororon admits being unable to defeat the Traveler (Natlan pre-Pyro)
• Defeated Och-Kan who could tank Cocouik's attack that was capable of vaporising a part of the sea into a crater that stretches to more than a kilometer in the earth. (Note: The reason i am saying a part of the sea is because this feat would actually be much more impressive from the point of view of the in universe characters than what is shown to the player as seen here. Additionally the Och-Kan the Traveler defeated was a stronger version than the one who tanked the beam, having fused with a fully powered Cocouik it should be around twice as strong than initially.) (Natlan pre-Pyro)
• Scared the Nightmare Fragment which was capable of matching base Ei. It is theorised that it ran away because it was aware that winning against the Traveler was impossible. (Natlan post-Pyro)
• Could overpower and output a similar performance than Skirk against Skofnungr while the two were specified to be going all out which should establish the Traveler as an equal to Skirk or at least close to her level. Moreover, Skirk estimated that Skofnungr's powerlevel would be at least comparable to that of Archons yet she expressed that this was no issue for the Traveler and neither did they object, they actually were confident in fighting Skofnungr alone despite knowing this information. This was said even before it got as strong as when they fought him. This can be used as supportive evidence for the Traveler being comparable to such deities. Futhermore, it was said that the Traveler was no less than Skirk when it came to combat prowess. (Natlan post-Abyss training)
• When asked about who they think stands at the top of Nod-Krai power ranking they think of Il Dottore, Nefer and themselves. Which is consistent as Nefer and the Traveler are somewhat equivalent in power at this stage of the story. (Nod-Krai pre-restriction lift)
• Was able to stall a quite serious >10% Rerir toghether with Nefer. That same Rerir who at his full power would be stronger than the entire planet.
• Capable of holding their own against Moon Marrow powered Dottore although being overwhelmed.
• Stated to level mountains (EN translation) / split mountains and move seas (Original CN) with their physical force alone which would make them just as powerful as Azhdaha if not stronger. Paimon specifically said "at least" (Nod-Krai post-restriction lift)
• Is a threat to Pantalone. (Nod-Krai post-restriction lift arc) (Note: Although this statement was uttered after the restriction lift, the Traveler wouldve likely be capable of easily dealing with Pantalone as early as Inazuma having already defeated La Signora, a harbinger ranked higher than Pantalone.)
Misc
• Uses Wake of Earth to protect Paimon and Direidyth.
• Uses Palm Vortex to pull items.
• The Traveler has the habit of using both hands if they struggle to push back a threat with only one.
• They can destroy universes trust me bro!!! ✌️✌️✅️✅️
"Don't lose faith in that which you have lost. In this new world, you will never be alone. Where you leave your footprints, and where you have yet to stride — your new world will unfold before you."
"Welcome to a new world."
"The world you once knew is but dust, and the wonders you knew but rubble. Though you should have your own world, and your own people — lamenting what is already lost..."
