Editing Leviathan (section)

===Other Abilities===
Leviathan has incredible durability<ref>She hunkered down to to watch the fight, mentally opening those doors that let more information flow.<br>
:''Leviathan, nonstandard cardiac, nervous systems: irregular biology.  No standard organs or weak points.  No brain, heart or center of operations for rest of his body.<br />Irregular biology, no vulnerable organs: body divided into layers, extending down to hyperdurable core body, each layer down is slightly more than twice as durable as previous. Exterior skin is hard as aluminum alloy, but flexible, lets him move.  3% deeper in toward core of arms, legs, claws, tail, or .5% in toward core of head, trunk, neck, tissues are hard as steel.  6% in toward core of extremities or 1% toward core of main body/head, tissues strong as tungsten.  9% toward core of extremities, 1.5% toward core of main body, head, tissues strong as boron.  12%-''
She had to stop, start again. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/interlude-7%C2%BD-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 8.y]]</ref> and can regenerate<ref>''Another try.''<br>
:''Durable layers to body, no conventional organs, irregular biology: Tissues mend from the inside out, layers expanding to fill wounds and integrating into surrounding structures.  Not human.''
''Knew that much.''<br>
:''Not human: Never was human.''
That gave her pause. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/interlude-7%C2%BD-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 8.y]]</ref> thanks to his [[Endbringer#Physiology|Endbringer physiology]]. He perceives the world as water, such as the moisture in the air and on surfaces, to seeing living creatures being 'meat balloons' largely made of water.<ref name="28.x e1">A current of water in a particular set of wavelengths, to her brother who sees the world as water – living things as balloons of meat largely made up of water, moisture in the air, moisture running over every available surface as he uses his abilities to move clouds and fog into place. - [[Interlude 28]]</ref>

Like other [[Endbringers]], Leviathan cannot be predicted easily with the typical [[Thinker]] danger sense<ref name="II9.12 e1">“Could it be an Endbringer?” Rain asked.<br><br>“Jesus,” Byron said.  “Don’t even joke.  They’ve been dormant.”<br><br>“They can’t be predicted easily with danger sense either,” I said. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/02/gleaming-9-12/ Excerpt] from [[Gleaming 9.12]]</ref> and is also a blind spot to the typical [[precognitive|precognition]],<ref name="II11.4 e1">It wasn’t Jeanne who answered.  Cinereal gave me my reply.  “Thinkers say no.  They’re either drawing blanks or they don’t like what they see.”<br><br>“Nothing specific?  No details?”<br><br>“No,” Cinereal said.  “But if you look at some of the other major thinker blind spots, you’re going to find yourself running into topics like Eidolon, Sleeper, the Endbringers, Valkyrie, the Island-state, the Pastor incident…”<br><br>“Concentrations of power,” I said.<br><br>Jeanne shook her head.  “''Complexity'' of power, most often.  Whatever thinker powers come into play, with these cases, there’s often too many variables to fully consider, thinkers report that their powers are fuzzy, inconsistent, or blacked out.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/01/01/blinding-11-4/ Excerpt] from [[Blinding 11.4]]</ref> including [[Contessa]].<ref name="24.2 e1">“Right, that wasn’t my second question.  What I want to know is why the hell you haven’t used a power like yours to figure out how to beat the Endbringers.”<br><br>“My power is a form of precognition,” she said.  “Unlike most such powers, other precognitive abilities do not confuse it.  That said, there are certain individuals it does not work against, the Endbringers included.”<br><br>“Why?” Tecton asked.<br><br>“No way to know for sure,” she said, “But we have theories.  The first is that they have a built-in immunity, something their origins granted them.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/crushed-24-2/ Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.2]]</ref> That said, [[Armsmaster]]'s combat analysis software<ref>“You dumb brute,” Armsmaster growled.  He was panting for breath.  “Every fight you’ve done so far, that we’ve got on camera?  I’ve watched it, put it through programs.  I’ve got a computer on my back that’s relaying to a supernetwork, noting your every move, using subsonic pulses to read every aspect of the street, the surrounding buildings, every feature of the terrain.  I know exactly what you’re going to do next – you’re going to try to catch me from behind with a wave.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/extermination-8-4/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.4]]</ref> (with no interference and outside variables) genuinely worked against Leviathan by predicting his attacks, movement, counters, and tactics; Armsmaster lost the duel because he assumed his [[nano-thorn]] Halberd could fully cut through the Endbringer.<ref>Legend talks about underestimating Leviathan... which is a complete aside and totally unrelated to me bringing up Armsmaster vs. Leviathan. I should explain (because I think it was unclear) - Armsmaster's computer didn't let him position the others so they would die, exactly. That was secondary. He put the villains in the way (particularly the giant bruisers and the wall-creating Kaiser) and set himself up so he would be able to fight Leviathan one on one. That let the simulation program be clean of interference and outside variables.<br><br>It wasn't that Armsmaster screwed up, but that a weapon that's supposed to cut through anything gets part of the way through Leviathan's claw and ''stops''. - Comment by Wildbow on Reddit, archived on Spacebattles</ref><!-- https://spacebattles.com/posts/34689673 --><ref>'''Plendamonda:''' Reminder that Armsmaster's prediction software worked perfectly at predicting Leviathan<br><s>until it didn't</s><br>[...]<br>'''Wildbow:''' His combat analysis software did work<br><br>'''Xantho:''' The data it had was incomplete<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' Not that.<br>It let him land the blow just where he wanted it.  But he was working on the assumption that his halberd cut through everything.<br>His software doesn't get into the nitty-gritty of powers or composition or figure out what can be cut through and what can't.  It's about movement, attacks, counters, and tactics.<br>Watch how someone moves, get all the data from video footage and whatever else, gather data on mindset and habits, extrapolate.<br>Even if there's 50 possible moves (in a broad sense), it can still guide you to places where you're safe, and that reduce the opponent's future options for courses to take. - Conversation with Wildbow on Parahumans Discord</ref>
