Good afternoon, all! I'm here to request the updating of some Devil May Cry profiles. Don't worry, there's no shockers here; in fact, much of this stuff's already on the pages but not the abilities section. Before we begin, let me ask that no discussion of the statistics of the verse be held in this thread. Let's keep things clear and focused on the topic at hand. Without further ado, let us take a look:
Miscellany
Resistance to Time Manipulation for Mundus and Nelo Angelo/Vergil (In DMC1, the Bangle of Time had no effect on either)
Immunity to absolute zero for Nero (he could fight and toss about the Frosts)
Resistance to mind/soul manipulation for Vergil (resisted a brutal mental assault from Pride of the Seven Hells; should be comparable to Dante)
Nixing Dante, Vergil, and Nero's weakness of their healing weakening over time (Not really based on much; Dante getting beaten by Vergil at the beginning of DMC3 was before a big power boost; Dante and Vergil consistently heal wounds even when tired)
Updates to Dante's Ability Section
1.) Minor transmutation via Gilgamesh (the weapon turns organic substances to metal, evidenced by its effectiveness against the Regenerationn of the parasitic plant enemies in DMC4; no Midas touch, just an anti-regen thing, mostly)
2.) Ability to harm intangible beings + Soul manipulation (Dante can harm many spectral enemies that phase through walls and other solid matter; Dante and Vergil both can transmute the souls of their enemies into weapons, further evidenced by Sparda's transforming the Seven Hells into statues in the DMC3 manga; Dante imbues even basic firearms with magical energy capable of harming spectral beings)
3.) Resistance to spatial manipulation (Dante is capable of Royal Guarding omnidirectional attacks from Yamato)
4.) Limited Invulnerability via Majin Devil Trigger, Dreadnought Armor, and Royal Guard Style itself to an extent (the first provides complete invulnerability in-game, the second does so and converts attacks into healing, the third negates damage from attacks but requires good timing)
5.) Resistance to blood manipulation (survived and even resisted such an assault from Gluttony of the Seven Hells)
6.) Flight (demonstrated during his bout with Gluttony of the Seven Hells )
7.) Resistance to hellfire manipulation (not the least bit bothered by the flames of Berial; withstood the heat of Ifrit when he acquired it )
8.) Resistance to mind/soul manipulation (regularly fights spectral beings capable of possession; survived Nightmare's pocket dimension ruled by evil manifestations of Dante's negative emotions; overcame the soul/mental influence of the succubus Nevan, motorcycle demons notorious for possessing anyone in their vicinity, et cetera)
9.) Hellfire Manipulation (via Ifrit)
10.) Summoning in Sparda Devil Trigger (summons flaming dragons that can phase through force fields)
11.) Nix Majin Form's Void manipulation, replace with darkness manipulation (big difference, folks)
Accepted: First misc. point, others in dispute due to nature of absolute zero stuff being in question. Dante's points 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 (kinda, wording could use fixing), 9, 10, 11.
In dispute: nature of absolute zero feats, 4. The flight thing is a bit redundant, but I'll leave it in the OP for the scans.
