Current Events > Are dante and vergil one of the strongest video game characters?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If we exclude gods.

Only feats that aren't just game mechanics and some characters like mario and such can't be included. Only characters which have some lore to back them up counts, and things they can do in cut scenes, comics, or anime.

I was about to say Asura, but I think he's a god.

but I guess the Demifiend from Nocturne is up there, since he beats Dante in combat, and Dante jobs his party.

Bayonetta kills gods.

Pit is canonically the most powerful Nintendo character.

Pit is pretty much a god.

I remember that game. I liked it a lot, and it was first Atlus game i had played. I got stuck on Matador boss few times and quit, then managed to win and started getting freezes because disc was scratched so badly (bought used)

He's strong enough to beat almost everyone else in his universe (mostly) on his own.

Demifiend is pretty fricken strong man

Kratos kills gods and titans.
---

Are demigods allowed?
---

Fei Fong Wong and Deus.

A bunch of Final Fantasy characters.

Lavos.

Including characters from other media (anime, comics, etc) that are in video games, a ton of characters.

Most jrpg end bosses in general are pretty insane lorewise.

Demifiend kicked Dante's ass, so no.

Arkham Batman

If we count playables only, then yeah, they would be uo there for sure.

But there are countless final boss type chracters that could hang with our outright demolish them.

Fei Fong Wong

Fei is basically a god at the end of the game though. He came in contact with a 4th dimensional being and gained powers from it. And the fact that even after the only thing that allowed the gears to run in the game disappeared his still ran off his willpower alone shows he is leaps and bounds above everyone. And he was able to punch god in the face and win.

Pit is able to kill her.

That was when she was possessed by Chaos Kin tho, I highly doubt that she would sit there and let herself get beat up on

Samus, FF protags, Sonic, Bayonetta. Just a few that are stronger.

Sarge from Army Men.

Dude single handedly wipes out general Plastro's forces, the world's strongest army.

how strong is the prototype character

Shapeshifting: Mercer's Blacklight infection has granted him the ability to both shapeshift and fashion his body into weapons. An example this would be his Blade resembling a giant sharp blade and his viral flesh possessing a yellow/reddish hue. His Whipfist has small razor-like blades across its spine-like form. Alex's evolved Hammerfists allow him to perform area attacks. He possesses consumption/assimilation abilities inherent in all infected creatures that allow him to take on the form and memories of any creature he consumes.

Superhuman Strength: His incredible strength allows him to lift cars, trucks, the destroyed remains of tanks, APCs, and helicopters and throw them great distances. He is far stronger than any normal human or most basic Infected, able to kill a regular human with a single, glancing blow and manhandle the infectious residents of Manhattan. Mercer is capable of punching holes through almost anything if necessary, including a two-foot steel door.[3]
Superhuman Speed: Mercer's speed is likewise enhanced. He can achieve running speeds surpassing any vehicles including Helicopters.

Superhuman Agility: He can perform amazing parkour feats such as flips and rolls and maneuvers over and around vehicles and debris with little trouble. His leg strength allows him to leap nearly ten stories into the air. Mercer can run up sheer vertical surfaces and cling to walls for an indefinite period of time. Mercer is also capable of gliding, by ejecting small amounts of mass for further propulsion.

Superhuman Endurance: Mercer's endurance far exceeds that of a human's by leaps and bounds. His body no longer possesses weak bones or vital organs, rendering him immune to otherwise debilitating injury. This biological change allows him to survive falls from any height completely unharmed. Bullets of any caliber will pass through his body, causing very little damage that heals instantly. He can withstand direct hits from rockets, hellfire missiles and tank shells, which cause only moderate damage. The superhumanly strong blows of the various type of Hunters and super soldiers cause the most damage of any type of attack.

His superhuman stamina allows him to be physically active at all times without tire.

Healing Factor: Mercer's body has vast powers of self-regeneration. So long as he is properly nourished, Mercer can restore his health and heal any wounds within moments. He can heal a small amount of his health even without consuming any creature. Examples include regenerating bullet wounds instantly after being shot, regenerating a massive hole in his face after being shot point-blank by General Randall, and reconstructing his entire physical form from non-descript piles of biomass and the biomass of a crow within minutes of being blown apart by a nuclear explosion. Mercer also seems to have a robust immune system.

Superhuman Senses: Mercer's vision and hearing are enhanced, allowing him to see beyond the visible spectrum and hear across great distances even with physical insulation. He has thermal vision which allows him to locate heat signatures.

Durability: Mercer's body is greatly increased that he can survive extreme blunt trauma, he can survive through collapsing buildings fall on him and walk out of the rubble as it was nothing. Mercer can take a shot from a rocket launcher and can only be pushed back a bit by the force without blowing to pieces like a normal human.

Adaptability: The Blacklight Virus is capable of adapting itself to certain elements after a continuous exposure to said element. For example, in the comic book, after being inhibited and slowed down by more than 10Gs of gravitational force he then walked away from it as if the force never even existed.
