How good is his endurance and durability alone.

How much damage he can take without and with the Shield

Do you think he should wear stronger and more tankier amror?

The Boys 5x6, Soldier boy flick his wrist when fighting Bombsight which he never done and he has hit homelander. Soldier Boys has said this "Tough skin or Not", this implies Bombsight has high durable skin, whihc makes sense decades of being a human missile probably help condition his durability a bit but his probably the most durable supe in the verse

now i doubt Bombsight is stronger then homelander and soldier boy physically, but he is more durable

i can't tell its because the metal is just normal steel or titanium or tungstan with the force and strength of a supe behind it that help injured other supes example Kimiko hurting A-Train with a normal corwbar.

but this shield is able to withstand Homelander and Billy Butcher laser beam sure push him back but the shield was intact and able to take blows from supes, i wonder if its made of tungsten heavy alloy (WHA),

Ethan Gong / Hardcore Leveling Warrior — VS Battle Explanation

Basic Identity

Ethan Gong, also known as Hardcore Leveling Warrior, is the former No.1 Ranker of Lucid Adventure. At his peak ranker state, he was considered by far the strongest player in Lucid Adventure and had reached the “human limit” of the ranking system.

Simple version:

> Ethan is a gambler-swordsman RPG monster whose main weapon is luck, stat boosts, skill abuse, and battle intelligence.

---

Main Power: Absolute Luck

Ethan’s personal attribute is Absolute Luck. It gives him overwhelming luck in combat and non-combat situations, helps him win gambling games, land maximum random damage, and get rare boss rewards.

In VS terms:

> His luck is basically probability manipulation. Things go right for him when they should not.

---

Signature Skill: Lucky Coin

Lucky Coin is his main skill. He flips a coin; if it succeeds, it massively boosts a random stat like strength or spell power. Normally it is 50/50, but because of Absolute Luck, Ethan has a greater than 99% success rate with one coin and usually gets the buff he wants.

Important weakness:

> Multiple Lucky Coins are risky. The more coins he uses at once, the more his luck drops and the faster the buff wears off.

---

Golden Lucky Coin / Lucky Three

His Golden Lucky Coin gives him access to Lucky Three! Three Cards. This lets him pick three ability cards based on skills he has seen before, and each card works like a consumable skill.

Simple VS explanation:

> Ethan can temporarily use copied/borrowed abilities through cards.

---

Main Equipment

Golden Armor Set

This is Ethan’s iconic No.1 Ranker armor.

Known pieces include:

Golden Plate Suit of Fire Dragon — breastplate of the Golden Armor set.

Golden Plate Gauntlets of Fire Dragon — increases all stats by 50 and triples damage when used with the Sword of Honor.

Jeweled Belt of the Third King — fauld/waist piece of the Golden Armor.

Golden Plate Boots of Fire Dragon — doubles speed, allows triple jump, and is described as indestructible; Ethan uses the boots to block attacks he normally could not take.

Simple version:

> Golden Armor Ethan is the classic “No.1 Ranker” version: fast, flashy, highly equipped, and extremely hard to kill.

---

Treasured Sword of the Knights — The 7 Truths

This is Ethan’s signature weapon. It is the legendary sword of the Golden Armor set, can bisect mountains with one blow, increases all sword skills by +5, requires very high strength to wield properly, and can only be used by the person contracted with it.

Simple version:

> His main sword is a mountain-splitting legendary weapon.

---

Demon King Equipment

Demon King’s Hellfire Set

When Ethan becomes Demon King, he uses stronger demonic equipment:

Demon King’s Hellfire Boots — all attribute resistance +50%, movement speed +150%, ignores movement impairment, curse +100.

Demon King’s Hellfire Gloves — intelligence +200, strength +200, casting speed +150%, curse +100.

Demon King’s Hellfire Armor — all stats +666 and gives access to the skill Rest.

Demonic Sword — Demon King Sik

A Demon King exclusive weapon with attack power +6666, curse +666, and access to Deform - Sik.

Simple version:

> Demon King Ethan trades the golden hero look for cursed demonic gear, massive stats, and stronger destructive power.

---

Defensive Abilities

Ethan has strong magic defense. His Rank No.1 form had near absolute magic immunity, though it can be disabled by certain counters. He survived combined magic attacks that no one else had survived without taking damage.

He also has passive skill reflection, which can automatically deflect magic attacks, weapon attacks, and even information-analysis skills, unless the system judges the attack unavoidable.

---

Regeneration / Survival

In Demon King form, Ethan survived being devoured by the Dragon of Evil, whose devouring ability can delete players from the game. Ethan was not fully devoured and instantly regenerated.

With Hidden Gate, his Lucky Coin can boost both strength and regeneration by 77 times, but the buff cannot be maintained for long.

---

Nightmare / Defense Bypass

Nightmarization significantly increases Ethan’s stats and gives his attacks Nightmare power, which nullifies all defenses.

Simple version:

> Ethan has durability bypass. He does not always need to overpower defense; he can ignore it.

---

Demon King Skills

As Demon King, Ethan gains skills like:

Demon King Strike — powerful sword wave attack.

Flame of Doom — empowers Demon King Strike.

Demon King Lucky Coin — upgraded coin where both sides match, giving one desired effect.

Disaster of the Demon Realm - Lightning — black lightning that subtly debuffs speed and reaction time over time.

Uldolmok — conceptual magic that lets Ethan absorb the target’s mana.

This is important because Ethan is not just strong — he debuffs, drains, bypasses, and stacks effects.

---

Transcendent Ethan

Near the end, Ethan absorbs Dark, Sora, and Heart Heater, gaining the power to transcend the game and step into the real world. He then fights Zero, another transcendent being, and eventually reverses time, sending Earth five years into the past.

Simple version:

> Transcendent Ethan is no longer just a powerful game character. He becomes a reality-affecting being who can fight outside the game system and reverse time.

---

Weaknesses

Ethan is not unbeatable.

His weaknesses include:

arrogance

letting his guard down

overthinking

temper issues

Lucky Coin becomes risky when using several coins at once

some buffs do not last long

magic immunity and system effects can be countered by certain abilities

---

VS Battle Scaling

Normal / Golden Armor Ethan

Mountain level+ physically through the Treasured Sword of the Knights, which can bisect mountains.

High combat speed due to Golden Plate Boots doubling speed.

Very dangerous due to Absolute Luck, Lucky Coin, and magic resistance.

Demon King Ethan

Much higher than mountain level, likely high-tier Lucid Adventure god/dragon level. His physical abilities are stated to have transcended the realm of stats, and he can fight beings like Stone and the Dragon of Evil.

Transcendent Ethan

Best scaling:

> Planetary+ physically, Universal+ to Low Multiversal through hax/time/reality-system authority.

Reason: he fights Zero in the real world after transcending the game, and reverses Earth’s timeline by five years.

Final Copy-Paste VS Description

Ethan Gong / Hardcore Leveling Warrior is a former No.1 Ranker from Lucid Adventure, known for his iconic Golden Armor, Treasured Sword of the Knights, and absurd Absolute Luck. His main skill, Lucky Coin, lets him massively boost stats, and because of Absolute Luck, he has over a 99% success rate with one coin. He can use skill cards through Lucky Three, resist or reflect many abilities, regenerate from deletion-level devouring, bypass defenses with Nightmare power, and later becomes a Demon King/God/Transcendent being. At his peak, he transcends the game, fights Zero in the real world, and reverses Earth’s timeline by five years.

look i don't mind kong using tools just wish he relies more on his hands like back in Skull Island i mean the guy got a strong right hook and his normal punches can staggered godzilla

yeah i know he use the axe and budget cuts but i wanted to see more savagery

basically comics from 2018-2026, does he still have the berserk rage we use to know and love or they remove or retcon and i meant earth 616 the main comics timeline

so does Logan aka Wolverine still have his Berserker Rage?
