Power Levels

Throughout the novel, there is a measurement of ones power, otherwise known as a powerlevel. A powerlevel determines who strong that person is, a ordinary human being has a power level of 0, very few mutants are weak enough to be classed as a level 1. There are many more mutants being classed as level 2. Only a few are stronger then a level 2 but still pretty weak, these are grouped by the power level 3. Getting to the power level of 4 is when peoples powers start becoming a worry.

Power levels 4-7
Someone who has a power level of 4 is capeable of varying energy in relation to their emotions, in more basic terms, this means that your energy attacks vary upon your emotion. Another level 4 power is the ability of Fusion where two seperate combinde together into one stronger entity. However, when the energy of the fused being becomes critically low the two beings would de-fuse. The first example of a successful fusion is Vulcan.

A level 5 mutant is capable of doing a lot of things such as creating Metal Spikes like James Scott, the most commonly mentioned and weakest of the main hero team. Another level 5 power level is known as first try, this ability allows the user to be good at something the first time they do it, but after subsequent use the users skill will gradually decrease until the user starts to learn the skill for themselves. For example, the first time i play tennis i am amazing at it, after a few goes i start to get worse. After a point where i am doing quite badly i start to get better again because i am learning the skill for myself.

A level 6 mutant is possible of Time Travel, invurnabillity and the legendary fighting style of Chi. Chi is the energy inside of all of us, those who have completly mastered (Ultimates) it are capable of many things such as flight, numerous energy attacks and other things. Although at the standard use level, the user is not capable of flight or of many energy attacks. But they are still great at fighting. Another possible level 6 ability is that of shading, shading gives you the power to hide yourself in shadows, making you the ultimate stealth ninja.

A level 7 mutant is the most popular found in the novel, their range of powers include matter ingestion, psionic blasts, magnetism, psychic weapons, and many others. Perhaps one of the lesser known is kinetic absorbtion. This involves being able to intake kinetic energy say from when someone hits you, then that energy can either be used as an energy beam/burst or it can be used to further boost you own strength. For those of you who still dont get it here is a diagram

Someone else's kinetic energy + your own energy = super amount of energy

Power levels 8-10
When someone has a power level 8 or above they are deemed to be some of the most powerful people on the planet. Some of the level 8 powers include making a worm hole through dimensions that would allow you to travel vast distances in a mere matter of seconds. Another level 8 ability is the power to raise the dead and get them to do your eternal bidding. There are other powers such as the ability to shoot out a pure energy beam, the strength of which in its base form can cut through a mountain. As the user's energy progresses into different colours the beam multilpies in power. In its gold or silver form it can cut through pretty much anything, in its white or black form it can't be stopped or deflected.

If somone is lucky enough to have a power level of 9 is increadibly powerful and one should try to avoid getting into a fight with them. Only six people in the novel at the moment have a power level of 9. The first power is telekinesis, the ability to move objects with your mind, however if this power was to be highly consentrated on the atoms of something then they could rip anything apart. The next level 9 power is time manipulation, the ability to pause, fast forward or rewind time. Although this ability doesn't involve the power of time travel it is still highly rated because it would give the user endless time to do anything they wanted. The next level 9 power after that is super human abilities, this gives the user strength all around their body instead of just their arms, this makes them quicker than most people, it makes them jump to extraordinary heights. Plus an added bonus is the ability to make energy balls out of nothing. These energy balls can be charged for greater power as a small one has the power of a fire cracker, a small little explosion, while a huge one has the power of a bomb. Another level 9 power is the ability of telepathy. Although often overlooked, the ablility of telepathy is increadibly powerful as it allows the user to be able to not only read other peolpes minds but it can also grant the user some power of mind control and it can also be used to "edit" other peoples minds and you can "push" thoughts into other peoples minds so you can make anyone think anything. They can also stop other from using their powers by blocking off the part of the mind that they use to access their powers. The next level 9 power is the ability to disitergrate anything, in more simple terms, you are turning something into nothing. Although at first the ability can be only used by touch, it eventually progressess to the point where it can be used as a ranged attack (note that this is not the ultimate forme). The final level 9 power is the ability to warp reality itself, although not often used because of its catastrophic strength, one time it is used it causes a tear in the fabric of reality which in turn is a big advantage because it allows cross dimentional travel.

The final power level is 10, only three people in all of history have this level and only one of them had it natrualy. The other two had it artificially bestowed upon them. Someone who has a power level of 10 is unable to reach an ultimate forme because a ultimate form is the limit the power can have, however someone who has a power level of 10 has limitless power so they can never reach their limit.
