Editing Leviathan (section)

===Enhanced Strength===
Although Leviathan is not as physically strong as [[Behemoth]],<ref name="8.2 e3" /> he still has enhanced strength<ref name="CastDepth">Leviathan is a thirty-foot tall monstrosity with enhanced speed, enhanced strength, a watery afterimage that follows after his every movement and macrohydrokinesis.  He killed forty six parahumans during his attack on Brockton Bay, leaving many others wounded or crippled. Most see him as the weakest of the three.  Has shattered islands and coastlines in the course of his attacks. - Cast (In Depth)</ref> on the same level as [[Echidna]].<ref name="18.3 e1">“She’s as strong as Leviathan, physically,” Tattletale said, “She’s not as tough, based on what I’ve seen. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/queen-18-3/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.3]]</ref> He can bend steel with his tail,<ref name="8.4 e1">I got my orders and left behind a bizarre scene where Armsmaster was working hand in hand with Kaiser, of all people.  Kaiser worked to build the same sort of trap that he’d imprisoned Lung in, some time ago, creating bars of metal between and around each of Leviathan’s limbs, a cage tight to the body.  Rune and another telekinetic were working to bend the metal from Kaiser’s shaken barrier around Leviathan’s limbs and face.<br><br>It wouldn’t last.  Leviathan was too big, his tail extended a long distance behind him, and it was thin and supple enough to slip through almost any barrier Kaiser could erect, strong enough that it could bend metal.  Leviathan would get free, there could be no illusions on that front. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/extermination-8-4/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.4]]</ref> rip a transformed [[Hookwolf]] in half,<ref>Leviathan used his claws to heave Hookwolf off his face, tore the metal beast in half, and then threw the pieces down to the ground, hard.  One landed straight on top of Shadow Stalker, the other almost seemed to bounce, rapidly condensing into a roughly humanoid form before it touched the ground again, landing in a crouch.  Hookwolf backed away, the blades drawing together into a human shape, skin appearing as they withdrew.  He brought his hand over his head and pointed forward at Leviathan.  A signal for the next front-liner. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref> and claw away layers of armor from the [[Dragonflight#Cawthorne | Cawthorne]].<ref>The suit collided with Leviathan a half second after the missiles exploded against his torso and shoulders, and steel claws gripped his limbs.<br><br>The ‘face’ of her armored suit opened up and began discharging a blue-white flame into his face.  The ‘flames’ didn’t move like flames should, spilling off him and down into the water, where they pooled on the road and continued to burn – after a fashion – beneath the water.  Leviathan, for his part, began tearing into Dragon, clawing away layers of armor with each swipe of his claws, almost uncaring as to the liquid fire that was spilling over him. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/interlude-7%c2%bd-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 8.y]]</ref><ref>A series of explosions and a massive collision marked Dragon firing a full salvo of missiles and entering close quarters combat with Leviathan.<br>[...]<br>Dragon began breathing out a stream of what might have been plasma in Leviathan’s face.  From his increased struggles and frenetic clawing at her, I gathered he didn’t like it.  Still, it was doing surprisingly little damage to him.<br><br>Leviathan found a point to get a solid grip on Dragon’s armor, and tore off a plate.  His next swipe took off another, and it careened a good twenty feet before landing with a heavy splash, close enough to me that I was caught in the spray. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/extermination-8-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref> Leviathan is strong enough to break through several steel columns (each 3-4 feet across) and a barrier of steel blades by pushing them.<ref>Kaiser changed tactics, creating columns of steel instead, each three or four feet across, harder to shatter.  They were slower to emerge, but they bent rather than broke.<br><br>Leviathan responded by ''pushing''.  He exerted his full strength on the barrier of blades and the columns, leaning against them.  The walls broke around the base of the columns, and the pieces of steel fell. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/extermination-8-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref> He pinned [[Alexandria]] to the ground in an attempt to drown her<ref>Whatever advantage Alexandria had gained, it didn’t last long.  Leviathan’s tail snaked up and around the heroine’s neck, catching her.  He whipped her into the ground, beside him, up into a wall, then back down.  This time, he held her beneath the water, using one claw to help pin her. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/interlude-7%c2%bd-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 8.y]]</ref> and could hit hard enough to take [[Legend]] out of a fight.<ref name="8.3 eStandingLeap">Legend fired a barrage of lasers at Leviathan, but the Endbringer was quick to hop to one side, landing on the roof’s edge.  He made a sudden, standing leap a good eighty or a hundred feet into the air, tail extending to reach for the airborne heroes.<br><br>The whiplike tail struck Legend, and there was a firework display of light and sparks, Legend tumbling out of the sky, head over heels.  In the same movement, the tail reached for Laserdream and Shielder.<br><br>''Legend down, CD-6,''  The armbands announced, just in time to coincide with Legend hitting the ground. - [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref><ref name="14.y e1">Conversely, his enemies could try to hit him with enough speed and force that even a hundredth of a second of contact was sufficient to take him out of the fight.  Leviathan and Behemoth had managed to land blows of that magnitude. - [[Interlude 14.y]]</ref>

Leviathan can pick up debris,<ref>Leviathan heaved himself up out of the building’s remains in one motion, used his tail to pick up and fling a mess of broken wood, concrete and rebar at us.  Aegis threw himself into the cluster of projectiles, but two capes were struck down by smaller chunks.  A third was folded in half by the arc of water from Leviathan’s tail. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/extermination-8-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref> capes,<ref>The explosion made Leviathan rear back, and the water that followed in his wake moved slower in that bubble, slowed down with each passing second.<br><br>Leviathan himself wasn’t as affected, and he had one foot and an upper body outside of the bubble to help him pull himself free.  He raised his leg free of the golden string goop and up out of the sphere, lashed his tail toward the crowd I was at the back of, catching three people, entwining the tip around their arms, legs and necks.  He flicked them into the center of the time distortion bubble, where they got caught, unable to make their exit fast enough to avoid being frozen in time.<br><br>''Jotun deceased, CD-6.  Dauntless deceased, CD-6.  Alabaster deceased, CD-6.'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/extermination-8-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref><ref>''Boots'', was the thought, as the tail snaked around him.  The Leviathan had him, and he’d been just a little too slow to get out of the way.<br><br>If he’d infused the boots, then ''maybe''.<br><br>He was flung, with a force he knew would kill him.  He used his boots to try to slow the movement.<br><br>He didn’t die.  Things around him flickered, then dissipated. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/03/26/heavens-12-none/ Excerpt] from [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref><ref>A slash of Leviathan’s tail brought down two of the stuffed entities, and Hookwolf tackled him to ensure the Endbringer didn’t get a moment’s respite.  Leviathan caught Hookwolf around the middle with his tail, flecks of blood and flesh spraying from the tail as it circled Hookwolf’s body of skirring, whisking blades.  Leviathan hurled Hookwolf away. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref> [[Bitch's Dogs|Bitch's dogs]],<ref>It wasn’t enough.  The dogs were strong, there were six of them left, even, but Leviathan was more of a monster than all of them put together.<br><br>He heaved one dog off the ground, slammed it into another like a club, then hurled it against a wall, where it dropped, limp and broken.<br><br>With that same claw, he slashed, tore the upper half of a dog’s head off. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref> and vehicles<ref>As he’d beaten a path deeper into the city, he had found opportunities to do damage on the way.  A police car had been thrown through the second story of a building. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref><ref>Leviathan grabbed a car, twisted his entire upper body to toss it in the style of an olympic hammer-throw.  The car hurtled through the air, and Scion batted it aside with the back of one hand.  The vehicle virtually detonated with the impact, falling into a thousand pieces, each piece glowing with golden-yellow light, disintegrating as they splashed into the water. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref> to hurl as projectiles.

From a rooftop, Leviathan leaped 80 to 100 feet into the air from a standing position to attack nearby flying capes with his tail.<ref name="8.3 eStandingLeap" />
