Respect Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil)

[u/[deleted]]

Leon Scott Kennedy

Leon S. Kennedy is one of the protagonists of RE2, the protagonist of RE4, and one of several protagonists of RE6. Originally a police officer on his first day of the job, he unknowingly stumbled into the an outbreak of the "T-Virus" in Raccoon City. Becoming one of the rare survivors of the disaster, he was enlisted by the US government to become an agent specializing in the containment of Bio-organic weapons, due to his first-hand experience.

---

Strength

Despite anyone's claim otherwise, Leon has been shown to have incredible strength, as he is able to lift a woman, and a large B.O.W (who must have been at least half a ton) with one hand.

• Moves large boulder, with some assistance.

• Wrestles with giant fish monster.

• Holds woman and large B.O.W for an extended period of time.

Speed & Agility

Leon is far beyond what we would consider a "peak human". He easily has superhuman levels of speed and dexterity, as he is able to outmatch many of his B.O.W opponents speed-wise.

• Reacts to several different lasers moving at fast speed and their spontaneous/erratic movements, and contorts his body in specific ways to avoid them. 1, 2

• Dodges axe swing.

• Dodges tree being swung at him.

• Jumps on giant's back and slashes parasite before giant can recover.

• Deftly avoids bullets.

• Rolls away from Krauser's slash.

• Ducks under skewering attempt.

• Throws a knife and impales Salazar's hand before he can move.

• Dodges knife being thrown by Verdugo.

• Uses grapple hook to catch himself as he's falling to his death.

• Dodges Verdugo.

• Outruns a boulder.

• Insane parkour skills.

• Beats Ada in close combat.

  Durability

While admittedly lacking in many feats here, (Because he's too damned fast to get hit) he is still tough enough to tank a mean hit from a g-virus infected, get up, and do some damned good parkour immediately afterwards.

• Gets hit hard enough by a Miller to be sent flying, smashed into a wall, and suffers no debilitating injuries.

• Is sent flying by Saddler, but is relatively unhurt.

Skill

Leon is remarkably skilled in both hand-to-hand combat, and armed with weapons. He is far from the rookie cop he started as; now able to go toe-to-toe with many incredibly skilled mercenaries, instructors, etc

• Matches an incredibly skilled fighter in H2H combat.

• Badass knife fight with Krauser.

• Punks Krauser during rematch.

I can’t believe you like resident evil outbreak?

[u/AlexFerrana → u/GainGold4186]

Yeah, I actually like that game. I know, it's kinda glitchy and it was designed for multiplayer, but... I love how the lore of that game settled in. 8 Raccoon City citizens (Cindy Lennox, Alyssa Ashcroft, Yoko Suzuki, David King, Mark Wilkins, Kevin Ryman, Jim Chapman and George Hamilton) is trying to survive in a Raccoon City before it would be nuked. And I like how it was executed - every character has its own unique personality, weapon and abilities. Plus, it lets players to see what was happening in the beginning of the outbreak and before Leon and Claire has arrived into the city and before Jill Valentine started her escape from Raccoon City.

[u/GainGold4186 → u/AlexFerrana]

I should probably give it a try, from how you described it the game sounds great.

[u/AlexFerrana → u/GainGold4186]

Yep, I think you maybe like it.
