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.

Yea, and honestly when you’re in the middle of a crisis I doubt you would be hitting all your shots only thing that would be going through you head is am I going to die. If capcom fix’s re5 it has the potential to be the best remake imo(behind re6 remake if there is going to be one).

[u/AlexFerrana → u/GainGold4186]

Yeah, that's true. Especially when you just shoot a zombie into his torso around dozen of times and all what it did was only making him grunt and slightly pushed back. I think almost everyone would be in panic.

Maybe. But I want a remake of RE Code Veronica more, honestly.

[u/GainGold4186 → u/AlexFerrana]

True, hella underrated game. Claire was way different in the game she was more sassy, and I liked it.

[u/AlexFerrana → u/GainGold4186]

Yeah, she has evolved from an inexperienced and running away girl from RE-2 into a cool action girl in "Code Veronica". She even tried to break into an Umbrella's HQ in France, IIRC. But was captured, although still managed to do some damage.

[u/GainGold4186 → u/AlexFerrana]

Amazing what trauma can do to people.

[u/AlexFerrana → u/GainGold4186]

Yeah, sometimes it pushes people on a whole new level.
