Editing Alexandria (section)

===Enhanced Strength===
Alexandria has vastly enhanced strength;<ref name="List"/> only a few capes such as [[Parahuman Characters#Chort | Chort]] could surpass her in strength.<ref name ="II15.z">“Come, look up at me,” she told Chevalier.  She put a hand at his chin, and Chort helped her, forcing Chevalier’s head up until it couldn’t move any further.  Chort wore a wolf pelt with goat horns over head and shoulders, and despite being only sixteen, was strong on a level that surpassed even heroes like Alexandria.  When he moved, he did so with care.  To him, Chevalier was like eggshell. - [[Interlude 15.z II]]</ref> She is strong enough to crush concrete in her hands,<ref name="15.z e2"> She set her hands on the wall, dragged her fingertips through the concrete, then crushed it in her hands.  It should have ruined her skin, left scrapes or torn her fingernails, short as they were, but it hadn’t. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/08 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.z]]</ref> catch modified fire trucks,<ref>The noises of panic as some of the strongest capes in the United States realized there was nothing they could do, adjusting their tactics to try to save people, staying one step ahead of Siberian to minimize the damage she did as she waded through any defense they erected, tossing the PRT trucks -modified fire trucks, then- as though they were as light and aerodynamic as throwing knives. - [[Interlude 13]]</ref><ref>The ensuing moments were frantic, filled with screamed orders and raw terror.  Alexandria chased Siberian to try to scoop bystanders out of the way, to catch the PRT vehicles that Siberian flung like wiffle balls. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/08 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.z]]</ref> and lift the 9-ton [[Leviathan]] into the air.<ref name ="22.y">Legend caught him square in the chest, and Leviathan slowed long enough for Alexandria to catch him by the tail.<br><br>She flew straight up, holding the monster by the tail.  Between Leviathan’s dark scales and Alexandria’s black costume, they disappeared in the gloom.<br><br>Leviathan fell, and the resulting impact was oddly out of sync with his mass.  The water in particular seemed to react, a single ripple extending outward, clearing an area around him of any and all water. - [[Interlude 22.y]]</ref> Alexandria in [[Battle_against_Leviathan | Brockton Bay]] slammed Leviathan hard enough onto the ground to cause an earthshaking crash.<ref name="8.3 e1">It was Alexandria who speared forward to confront Leviathan.  He saw her coming, ceased his onslaught to rear back and then lunge ahead to meet her.  When they were only fifteen feet apart, he stopped, let his water echo rush forward to meet her.<br><br>Anyone else might have been staggered in the face of several tons of water moving forward at the speed of a locomotive.  Alexandria intertwined her fingers, swung her arms forward as though she were holding a baseball bat, and cracked her hands against the image a second before she disappeared headlong into it.  There was a sound like a bomb going off, water spraying everywhere, followed by an earthshaking crash as Alexandria used the crook of her arm to catch Leviathan around the neck and heaved him backwards and onto the ground. - [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref> 

Using Alexandria's body, [[Pretender]] toppled [[Behemoth]] hard enough in [[Behemoth vs New Delhi | New Delhi]] to tilt the nearby lightning rod created by the [[Chicago#The_Wards | Chicago Wards]].<ref name="24.1">A crash heavier than any we’d had yet made the dogs stumble, falling.  It very nearly overturned the sleds.  Bitch had fallen from where she sat on Bentley’s back.<br>[...]<br>The lightning rod had tilted, leaning against an adjacent building, the supports Golem had raised had crumbled.  Behemoth, too, had fallen.<br><br>Eidolon and Legend hovered in the sky, flanked by four dragon-craft.<br><br>Another figure was there as well, hovering where Behemoth had been standing an instant ago.  The Endbringer had been toppled with one massive blow. - [[Crushed 24.1]]</ref> At the [[Cauldron Compound]], he also held up a full third of a ceiling made out of steel, concrete, and granite over a single room; this ceiling section that looked ready to collapse was a relatively insignificant part of a 1.73 million-ton structure currently being held up by walls and a column.<ref name="29.8">“The structure isn’t going to hold.  Even with the reinforcements she put in… no.”<br><br>“So?” Rachel asked.<br><br>“When the walls break,” the Number Man said, “one million, seven hundred and thirty thousand tonnes of steel are going to drop on our heads.”<br>[...]<br>My bugs told me the ceiling was arching slightly.  I could see where the ceiling met one wall, how a crack was forming along the edge.<br><br>“Ceiling falling,” I said.  I moved my arm to point, and I only wound up moving my stump, suppressing my reaction to the pain so I wouldn’t provoke Lung.<br><br>Golem reached into the side of his suit.  A hand began emerging.<br><br>Too slow.  A full third of the ceiling over this room looked ready to collapse, and it was big enough and close enough to wipe us out.<br><br>Alexandria flew forward.  She caught the shelf of steel, concrete and granite.<br><br>Buying time, even as the slab continued to crack and break down where the stress of her holding it warred with the sheer weight and lack of support in other spaces.<br><br>Golem’s hand propped it up, fingers curling around the edge to secure it.<br>[...]<br>Golem began creating the hand.  The entire room shook as fingertips emerged.  Each a small building unto itself.  Cupping over, a protective barrier.<br><br>Nothing that would hold out against the kind of weight the Number Man had been talking about.<br>[...]<br>We brought the column down.  One and three-quarter million tonnes, dropping down on our heads. - [[Venom 29.8]]</ref> Pretender could only buy time for [[Golem]] to build the necessary supports for this ceiling section because the ceiling slab continued to crack and break down due to its own weight and lack of support in other spaces.<ref name="29.8" />
