Kessel: Strength and Durability limits

Given how I always seem to hype up my dumb OC, I feel the least I can do is give some actual art demonstrating his limits.

While I do plan for him to get eventually stronger as the show and his own narrative develops, I still can say he’d not even come close to top-tier in the HellaVerse, and that aside ‘weaker’ opponents could still kill him

That and even with the feats I’m giving him power-scaling suggests that at least half the cast is FTL speed and lifting mountains, but I digress.

- Strength: I’d put him at about Spiderman, in that he can lift a pretty good amount of weight on the regular. For an absolute maximum, ergo a life or death scenario and being able to plant his feet on the ground/leverage he could lift up a skyscraper even from its foundation like the web-warrior, albeit drooling and clenching his teeth in strain and barely holding it up.

- Durability: The Dark Knight Returns Superman’s ground zero nuke feat is I’d say the most he could survive at once for sheer output; He’s going to look like a walking corpse/rotisserie chicken, burnt skin and flesh on a charred body where 99% of all their fluids have been boiled from his bloodstream until he can heal back. Pretty much anything else after that is gonna finish him off but he COULD survive that, and recover not too dissimilar to how Supes did (albeit with more pain and difficulty)

Admittedly I’m still trying to suss out a reasonable power level for him, if only because powerscaling and feats are all over the place for the universe; But given he’s meant to be a reasonably strong warrior type, I figure this is a good start and me referencing comics for some standards is a start.
