Just by reading the title, you already know what's about to happen.

If you've watched ANY series where power is key, you may have run into the trope of showing what level a certain character is at.

Dragon Ball Z is practically famous for having power levels that showed how one sided battles were.

Eventually, DBZ realized showing levels was bull crap since every enemy Goku faced was gonna be surpassed.

But the idea of showing how strong your character is does still sound awesome, even though the hero wins through "plot armor".

So I'd figure I would ask...

...what if the Sonic universe had power levels?

Obviously the measurement methods would have to be different, but it could be fun.

There's going to be a few rules to follow on this.

Rule 1) The character measured has to have some method of defeating them.

No point in using these methods if your character can't at least be weakened or knocked out, let alone killed in a fight.

Rule 2) The character can not access every power source.

This is wrong because it would mean that your character could be at a level that's unreachable or unlimited.

Rule 3) The dead have no power levels and never will unless they are fully resurrected in full flesh.

As silly as this sounds, may I remind you that there's a Vampire Shadow and sometimes Zombie Silver.

Being undead is an unfair way of using the measurements since there's no telling how many advantages the character already have by coming back that way.

What I'm saying is that it better be a full resurrection to the person they once were.

No vampires, ghosts and zombies allowed!

And finally...

Rule 4) Measuring gods, demigods, unknown entities and other extremely powerful beings will be limited.

The gods usually don't get involved in the plot, so there's no way of measuring them to get the exact results.

I'll come up with an equation for this, but it'll depend on what kind of immortal you are if you're going to use this.

If you want, you can use these methods to give YOUR OC a power level.

Note: I'll also use feats of durability to make Stamina Levels so it'll be easier to break ties.

Average Beings Power Levels

Normal Humans

Power: 0-75

Normal Mobians

Power: 10-100

At this point, you start here with the weakest and with no powers.

Note: Just because you have no powers, doesn't mean you can't beat a lot of opponents.

————————————————————————

Physical Strength

It's not easy to find a strength measurement due to it being difficult to calculate strength into energy.

The strongest human recorded in Modern times is Louis Cyr, who lifted 500 pounds (1/4 ton) with one finger and back lifted 4,337 pounds!

My equation will have to go something like this.

Strength can only be added by whatever range of power you pick.

Choose a base level and add the strength points to it.

Here are your strength levels.

Object Level: 1-20 points

Ranging from tiny objects to large furniture

Obstacle Level: 21-75 points

Ranging from more heavy objects like safes, anvils, pianos and more.

Vehicle Level: 76-150 points

Ranging from small cars to massive vehicles like gas trucks, semi trucks and monster trucks.

Building Level: 151-500 points

Ranging from small houses to tall skyscrapers, stadiums and other massive structures.

Mountain Level: 501-600 points

Can move or destroy tall formations, including the world's tallest mountains.

Continental Level: 601-800 points

Capable of causing tectonic plates to shift, land masses and islands to move, and volcanoes to erupt upon impact.

Satellite Level: 801-900 points

Capable of moving or obliterating dish satellites, space stations, asteroids and even moons.

Planet Level: 901-1000 points

Capable of moving or completely destroying planets!

And finally...

Star Level: 1001-1500+ points

Capable of moving or shattering stars like the sun!

Beyond here, it's hard to think how much you could destroy with your fists or feet.

Putting strength in your character's equation would go like this.

Base Level (50) + Strength Level (75) = Power Level (125)

This may not be entirely accurate, so be prepared to find something looking off from comparing power levels.

——————————————————————————

Speed

We all knew this was coming since this is Sonic after all.

Unfortunately, like Physical Strength, I may have to dumb this down too.

The fastest man in the world ran almost 28 mph.

Like physical strength, you will have to add it in through measurements.

Light speed is around 880,000 Mach speed, which is a lot of calculations in my mind.

Lower than 767 mph (Mach 1): 1-50 points

Basically any average person could fit here.

Actually, there's so many Mach speed levels that I think I should just do this.

Base Level (50) x Mach Speed (2) = 100

If that doesn't work, then let me know in the comments if you got any ideas.

————————————————————————

Magic

There's so many possibilities with this that my ideas may just be the beginners guide.

Elemental Spells: 10-50 points each element and how much it's mastered.

Healing Spells: 10 points + the target's base level

Levitation Spells: 20 points + 10 additional points if target is living

Vision/Fortune Spells: 5 points

Control Spells: 75 points

Portal Spells: 100 points + 20 additional point for across space + 30 additional points for across time

Time Manipulation Spells: 100 points

Matter Changing Spells: 80 points

Techno Spells: 75 points + 10 points per system you can control at once

Dark Magic: 200-1000 points - 50% of your base level

Also keep in mind that wands and staffs count as multipliers.

Wands: All Combined Spells x 2

Staff: All Combined Spells x 5

—————————————————————————

Elemental Powers

The basic elements are fire, earth, water and wind.

Fire: 10-800 points based on experience

Water: 10-750 points based on experience

Earth: 10-500 points based on experience

Wind: 10-900 points based on experience

Then there are more advanced forms of elements.

Lightning: 10-1000

Ice: Water points + 100 additional points

Magma: Fire points + 50 additional points

Crystals: Earth points + 75 additional points

Light: 10-5000 points

Shadows: 10-5000 points

—————————————————————————

Chaos Energy

I'm dividing this into two types of measurements: Energy Techniques and use of Emeralds

Energy Techniques

Chaos Sense: 10 points

Chaos Spear: 30 points

Chaos Lance: 60 points

Chaos Arrow: 15 points

Chaos Control: 200 points

Chaos Blast: 150 points

Force Fields: 100 points

Shadow Heal: 20 points

Air Chaos Burst/???: 50/90

Chaos Emeralds

1= Base Level x 2

2= Base Level x 3

3= Base Level x 4

4= Base Level x 5

5= Base Level x 6

6= Base Level x 7

7= Base Level x 8 (if not Super)

Super Form: Base Level x 10

Super Emeralds: Amount of Emeralds x 2

Master Emerald: Base Level x 10

Hyper Form: Base Level x 20

Hope this isn't too much.

—————————————————————————

Sol Energy

The Equation works like this.

Base Level + Elemental Points x 2 per Sol Emerald= Power Level

Burning Form: Base Level + Elemental Points x 15

Sol Energy hasn't been measured since it hasn't been in use much.

I apologize if this ruins the value of Super Form.

—————————————————————————

Gaia Energy

Dark Gaia's energy mostly powers Were Forms, but this also effects you if the entity possesses you.

Were Form: Base Level + 20-50 points per energy absorbed from Dark Gaia monster - 90% of Speed Points

Partially Possessed: Base Level + 30 points - 20 of your Base Level points

Fully Possessed: Base Level + 500 - 50 of your Base Level points

The reason for taking away is that Dark Gaia usually sacrifices something in exchange for it's power.

You lose speed in Were Forms due to the added weight and power you have to hold.

And you lose Base Level points when possessed because Dark Gaia controls you, so you're not all there.

————————————————————————

Fusion: Your Power Level + Other Character's Power Level x 2

————————————————————————

Psychokinesis/Telekinesis: 100-1000 depending on experience

————————————————————————

Demon Powers: Base Level + 2000 points - 50% of your Base Level points

————————————————————————

Author's Note

The rest of these measures are for fan made powers I added in Sonic universe

My OCs are the only ones with access to these.

But if you want, you can have these too.

————————————————————————

Aura Powers

My main OC, Aura, is the prime user of this power.

Other users include Sensei Ki, Orion and Lord Rai.

Legend says this power was formed from a reincarnated being arriving to Sonic's multiverse.

This power uses the emotions of your soul or part of someone's life force as power.

You need to gain full control and focus over yourself to achieve this power.

There's also Inner Form, which unleashes your aura around you to boost your powers.

Inner Form isn't as durable as Super Form, but lasts longer than it.

Aura Techniques

Aura Sense= 30 points

Aura Sphere 10-90 points depending on how large you can make it

Aura Weapon Forming: 30 points

Aura Healing: 50 points

Inner Form 1: Base Level x 10

Inner Form 2: Base Level x 20

Inner Form 3: Base Level x 30

————————————————————————

Healing Factor

There's no mention of anyone in the Sonic universe having an innate healing power.

Fury does have his own, though it's a side effect of accidentally receiving energy from Scourge.

Here's the guidelines for that.

Rank 1: 25 points

Takes 10-12 hours to heal everything

Rank 2: 50 points

Takes 5-8 hours to heal everything

Rank 3: 75 points

1-2 hours to heal everything

Rank 4: 100 points

30 minutes to heal everything

Rank 5: 150 points

Takes 10 minutes to heal everything

Rank 6: 200 points

Takes 2-5 minutes to heal everything

Rank 7: 250 points

Literally heals in seconds

—————————————————————————

Phoenix

Something I made up is Iblis being the deity of Phoenix birds.

Both the deity and the bird are capable of massive destruction, so it's logic in my mind.

Hip is the one who hosts the ultimate Phoenix reincarnation, the bird that Iblis made directly.

You can either be born with the Phoenix powers or accept the spirit of a dead Phoenix.

Phoenix spirits give you access to...

1) telepathy

2) unrivaled telekinesis

3) destructive pyrokinesis

4) mind control

5) flight

Unfortunately, high concentrations of water or draining the energy weaken them.

Born as Phoenix: 100-7500 points

Possessed by Phoenix: 100-5000

The True Phoenix: 200-10000

In order to get the True Phoenix, you have to either...

A) Steal it from Hip

B) Be somewhat related to Iblis

—————————————————————————

Unleashed Instinct

Orion is supposedly the only to know this.

You basically look deep into your Mobian genes and unleash your true strength, speed and senses.

Base Level x 1000

Unfortunately, this only last 5 minutes, or 10 minutes for the rare few.

————————————————————————

Enlightened Form

No known measurements for this.

Requires you to balance light and dark.

———————————————————————

That's all for now.

In Part 2, I'll show the results for most of the character's power levels.

Part 3 will be my OCs, as well as anyone who wants their Power Levels shown.

See you later!
