Chapter : Template 1: Power level Explanations at 1%
Physical StrengthLifting Strength: David could lift around 100 tons at 1% of Post-Crisis Superman's power.
For comparison, this is around the same level as characters like the Thing or Hulk in their base forms.
He could lift large vehicles like buses or tanks, but not continents or planets as Superman is capable of at full power.
SpeedFlight: David could fly at supersonic speeds, likely close to Mach 1-2 (700-1,500 mph).
While this is fast, it's nowhere near Superman's full-speed ability to fly faster than light.
He could travel quickly across countries but not into space within seconds.
Reflexes/Combat Speed: He would still have enhanced reflexes, but would be limited to dodging bullets and missiles, rather than reacting to light-speed attacks.
He would be fast enough to deal with opponents like Spider-Man or Captain America, but would struggle against much faster beings like Quicksilver or Silver Surfer.
DurabilityInvulnerability: David would retain significant durability, able to tank explosions, artillery fire, and powerful energy blasts. Conventional weapons like guns, knives, and most explosions would still be ineffective against him, but he could be hurt by stronger attacks, such as heavy magic, adamantium weapons, or high-powered energy beams from stronger Marvel characters.
Healing Factor: He would still heal rapidly from most wounds, but not at the near-instantaneous rate of his full power.
Serious injuries might take hours or days to recover from, rather than moments.
Heat Vision: His heat vision would still be potent but limited in range and power.
He could use it to cut through steel or rock, and perhaps vaporize smaller structures, but it wouldn't be strong enough to destroy large buildings or pierce through extremely tough materials like adamantium or vibranium.
X-Ray Vision & Super Senses
X-ray vision: This ability would remain intact, allowing him to see through walls, buildings, and other obstacles, though there might be a range limit compared to his full potential.
Hearing: His super hearing would allow him to detect sounds across a rsdius of 10km, but not worldwide.
Telescopic Vision: He could still see objects from a significant distance, such as a few miles away, but would not have the cosmic-level vision to see into space or microscopic detail at the atomic level.
Cold Breath: His super breath would still be strong enough to freeze opponents or blow them back with hurricane-force winds, but it wouldn't be powerful enough to freeze massive areas or halt large explosions.
Weakness to Magic: At 1%, David would still have Superman's well-known vulnerability to magic.
Normal magic attacks could affect him much more easily than physical attacks, and stronger sorcerers could exploit this to incapacitate him and easily gain victory over him.
Resistance to Telepathy.
Telepathic resistance: Superman's mind is difficult to penetrate, but at 1% power, David's mental defenses would be significantly weaker.
While he could still resist weaker telepaths, more powerful ones like Professor X or Emma Frost might be able to breach his mind if they put in the effort.
Energy Absorption: David would still be able to absorb solar energy, but at a reduced rate. His body would recharge more slowly from the sun, which could make extended fights more difficult since he wouldn't regain his strength as quickly.
Combat Capabilities at 1% Power:
David would still be an incredibly powerful being, far beyond human standards, and would be able to defeat most street-level Marvel heroes like Daredevil, Hawkeye, and even Spider-Man. However, more powerful characters like Iron Man, Captain Marvel, or Black Bolt could challenge or overwhelm him, especially if they use strategic planning, superior technology, or exploit his weaknesses to magic or energy attacks.
In general, David would be capable of:
Taking on multiple opponents at once, especially human or low-level superhuman threats.
Outmatching street-level heroes in both strength and speed.
Dealing with enhanced beings like Venom or the Thing if he uses his full arsenal wisely.
Tanking conventional weapons and most physical attacks from lower-tier foes.
However, he would need to be cautious against stronger opponents, as his reduced power makes him more vulnerable than a fully-powered Superman.
