DmC: Devil May Cry Powers and Abilities Revisions

[Marosuke]

Greetings.
Now, let's take a look at the history of DmC: Devil May Cry on this wiki. The profiles for Dante, Vergil, and Mundus were created around 2014, but they have been neglected until now. They do not include many feats from the existing comic book and game. That is why this timeline has been downplayed and downgraded relentlessly. Furthermore, the fanbase does not seem to fully understand the reboot's story at all, but instead consistently criticizes Donte's appearance and personality without trying to understand how the narrative works. Therefore, a major revision is required to reduce further bias and misinformation.

This game is one of the most misunderstood and underestimated in gaming history. The situation is quite awful, as most people either do not know about or do not give a shit. However this will likely be last update because Ninja Theory, the developer of the game, was acquired by Microsoft years ago and is now shutting down. Unfortunately, the game's director, Tameem Antoniades, has also retired. Therefore, there is no chance of a sequel to this timeline. Congratulations, haters.

As I said, the previous profiles are filled with inaccurate information and completely ignore many feats from the existing comic book and game.
So I brought everything. I propose creating a "Demon Physiology (DmC: Devil May Cry)" page, just like the original series has one. This is because there are so many powers and abilities, and making a verse-specific P&A page would make P&A much easier to view. Not only P&A but also many elements of the cosmology are explained.
Btw, I'm creating a verse page for the reboot to separate the reboot's feats from the original series' page, including calculations, explanations and such. If you have any objections, tell me on Discord, PM, or the discussion thread.
Things with accepted abilities will remain, whereas unaccepted ones will be removed from my sandbox.
This will take quite a lot of time, but don't worry. Most are self-evident. Mundus might have the strongest Social Influencing. Here we go.

Spoiler: Humans

• Astral Projection (They can go in and out of the astral plane through dreams.)
• Non-Physical Interaction
• Incorporeality (Kat's astral form is comparable to the demon that was as real as the astral plane. There is no physical way to reach them.)
• Invisibility (Their souls look like apparitional shadows. They are somehow transparent like ghosts. Only psychics would see spirits whereas everyone else can't.)
• Flight (Kat can fly around Limbo in spirit form.)
• Telepathy (As a spirit, Kat can communicate with Dante.)
• Teleportation (Her spirit teleported to Vergil, following his voice.)
• Immortality (Type 1, 7) (Their souls will be absorbed into Limbo and sent to Hell, the afterlife.)

Spoiler: Demons

• Social Influencing(The demons wear human vessels in the real world, acting like innocent people. They use many insidious ways to deceive and brainwash people.

The police(Deception): The demons are among the police and use human vessels. They've already taken over every police force in the country and worldwide.
News media(Deception and Coercion): Mundus runs the Raptor News Network and leaves it to Bob Barbas. It advertises a soft drink called Virility which was made by Succubus. It makes people stupid and obese. They lie and spread misinformation in order to make people weak and docile. They lied about The Order being terrorists, and Mundus offered a reward of 5 million dollars for any information leading to The Order. The Raptor News Network asked citizens to cooperate. Eventually, their location was discovered.
Finance and Politics(Coercion and Instigating Fear): Mundus runs the world's most powerful investment bank and controls the world through debt. And also, he has a monopoly over the world's news media, advertising, entertainment and surveillance. Mundus threatened and manipulated the president in the country and could even strip him of all his power. The demons are all part of Mundus' global strategy.)

• Avatar Creation (They use physical manifestations or human vessels to exert indirect control over the real world.)
• Dimensional Travel (They can corporeally travel to the astral plane.)
• Teleportation (They teleported to kill people who knows Dante. It teleported to dodge Dante’s attacks.)
• Immersion and Subjective Reality (The demons can enter someone's dream.)
• BFR (The demons can drag Dante into Limbo as a spirit. There are two examples. Another case.)
• Reality Warping and Dream Manipulation (The demons can mould Limbo in their image. And the demon dimension affects the real world. If the demons manipulate the environment of Limbo, it affects the real world, causing a parallel occurrence. They can imprison astral forms in dreams and could even kill them.)
• Information Manipulation Type2 (In Limbo, Bob’s realm consists of data he has gathered. And he can mould Limbo in his image. He can also improvise the whole newscast based on that data.)
• Incorporeality (They are as real as the astral plane, and there is no physical way to reach it. Dante could not interact with Kat because he was in the astral plane as a spirit, while she was in the real world.)
• Invisibility (The demons are invisible. Only psychics can see them.)
• Fear Manipulation (Psychics who see their true forms are paralyzed with fear.)
• Soul Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Pain Manipulation (The lesser demons torture human souls in Limbo. Kat's astral form and mind were suffering as soon as Bob Barbas approached. Human souls were screaming in pain because of the demons. Dante helped them.)
• Clairvoyance, Enhanced Sight (The cameras they use are not only for surveillance, but are demonic eyes in Limbo.)
• Extrasensory Perception, Enhanced Sight (The demons can sniff Vergil out as soon as he sets foot in a certain place and can also sense Dante when he is in Limbo.)
• Life Manipulation, Life Stealing, Energy Manipulation, Absorption, Biological, and Energy and Statistics Amplification (The demons have been sapping human energy and draining human vitality to increase their power.)
• Death Manipulation via Absorption (They sap human energy until there is nothing left, causing people to die. Mundus did this.)
• Non-Physical Interaction (Souls, spirits, minds, astral forms and dreams.)
• Immortality (Type 1, 7) (After death, spirits are absorbed into Limbo and sent to Hell.)
• Immortality Negation (Type 1, 7) and Regeneration (Low-Godly) Negation via spirit (If demons attack spirits, they may never recover. Kat needed to disconnect from her body in order to escape.)

Spoiler: Demonic Energy

• Gravity Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement, and Telekinesis (Dante's Devil Trigger blows enemies into the air and makes them vulnerable.)
• Statistics Amplification and Healing "Spirit" (Demonic energy increases the powers of demons. The Devil Trigger which consumes demonic energy allows them to heal while increasing their power and durability.)
• Sealing, Environmental Destruction and Summoning (Limbo is filled with Demonic energy that twists, turns it and traps Dante, while spitting out demons. The demon doors exist to lock someone into a fight.)

Spoiler: Nephilim

All demons’ abilities plus:

• Social Influencing, Charisma, Instigating Fear and Coercion (Vergil established an organization called The Order to open people's eyes and succeeded. People who noticed the truth started collaborating with Vergil, just like Kat. Dante and Vergil are feared because Bob Barbas reported that they are terrorists on the Raptor News Network, and Bob's biased reports have even appeared in newspapers.)
• Regeneration (Low-Godly) via spirit (The demons can drag Nephilim into Limbo as spirits. But as long as their spirits exist, they can regenerate their physical bodies when they appear in the real world.)
• Attack Reflection (Can parry the demons' attacks and projectiles.)
• Immortality, Type 1, 3, 7 (Their father, Sparda, was banished forever: subjected to endless punishment and pain. And their mother, Eva, was killed by Mundus but her spirit was imprisoned in Hell. They are undead.)

Bro why the comic scans are soo atrocious? I can't read shit.

Wait what...? I can see them clearly. What kind of device are you using? Im on PC right now.
Im using this wiki's image upload service.

I've found the cause. You have to log in through Fandom side. It will make the images clear.

 

[Tony_di_bugalu]

I disagree with like 90% of this thread

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

iinteresting

 

[RaikiKurohane99]

A lot of these scans (at least all the ones I tried to open) are in really bad quality. Kindly add readable scans so the thread can be evaluated.

 

[Marosuke]

The images are fine but it automatically uses thumbnail-quality images. We can fix this.
After opening one of the images, then right-click the image, copy the image address and paste it into the address bar. Then we can see the images in their original quality. I don't understand why this happens, but yeah.
I've already posted Imgur versions of these in the past, but Imgur isn't accessible in some countries. So I'd rather avoid using it.

 

[LegendariumOfLies]

I got a lot to say, but don't have a lot of time. Let me tackle the human section and then I will go after the rest

• Astral Projection (They can go in and out of the astral plane through dreams.)

Even in the scan Vergil states that this Kat's Asrtal Projection. We cannot reasonably assume that this applies to all humans, especially since she states that she is a medium and a psychic.

• Non-Physical Interaction

No scan no argument skip

• Incorporeality (Kat's astral form is comparable to the demon that was as real as the astral plane. There is no physical way to reach them.)
• Invisibility (Their souls look like apparitional shadows. They are somehow transparent like ghosts. Only psychics would see spirits whereas everyone else can't.)
• Flight (Kat can fly around Limbo in spirit form.)
• Telepathy (As a spirit, Kat can communicate with Dante.)
• Teleportation (Her spirit teleported to Vergil, following his voice.)

I agree, but again this is Kat and only Kat doing this. How does this apply to the rest of humanity?

• Immortality (Type 1, 7) (Their souls will be absorbed into Limbo and sent to Hell, the afterlife.)

So many things wrong with this.
1. How is dying immortality?
2. How is a soul being absorbed have anything to do with the average human being immortal?

This game is one of the most misunderstood and underestimated in gaming history. The situation is quite awful, as most people either do not know about or do not give a shit. However this will likely be last update because Ninja Theory, the developer of the game, was acquired by Microsoft years ago and is now shutting down. Unfortunately, the game's director, Tameem Antoniades, has also retired. Therefore, there is no chance of a sequel to this timeline. Congratulations, haters.

Also what is this clear attempt at poisoning the well?

Hell is a place where people go after they die. This means they don't turn into nothingness. As Eva said to Vergil, they are all dead. Eva, Vergil, and people died and were sent to Hell. I'm not trying to give ordinary people immortality type 1 and 7. But this only applies to souls in general. So it's not suitable for Versus Threads.

7: Undead: Characters who cannot die due to technically being already dead, often overlapping with other forms of immortality. This includes characters who can keep existing as spiritual entities upon dying.

I'm just following the standard. Existing as a spiritual entity is type 7 immortality so.
Is it possible for them to have type 1 granted through type 7? Because they basically died once, so they can never die again. Like Goku never ages or dies from it in the afterlife because he is basically dead. Or just type 7?

I agree, but again this is Kat and only Kat doing this. How does this apply to the rest of humanity?

The cosmology is based on the occult, so all of humanity will be affected. People are just people in DmC. No hax, no abilities and no supernatural powers. This is about

Powers and Abilities of Astral Forms/Human Souls​

Vergil tried to open people's eyes and make them see the true face of demons, which means it's technically possible for humans, but they don't have a natural talent like Kat. I don't mind if this only applies to Kat. But this is too important and necessary for explaining the cosmology.
She said that extreme psychosomatic trauma can trigger astral projection. So it could happen to anyone. But if you feel that these are only Kat's abilities, I really don't mind.　We should leave this to staff members.

 

[SuperSonicTL]

Fix your scans first ffs @Marosuke

Boy, listen. The scans are fine.

Buddy none of us are free enough to do it everytime. Use imgchest since it works the same as imgur.

Now go and fix the links.

That still doesn't make sense, the video you linked has Kat telling Donte she learned from Virgin then realized she had a talent for it.

So I don't agree with humans having the same stuff as Kat, maybe other mediums like her but... well... there is none lol

Thats not what your scan says at all. She just says he is dead which is true because at the beginning of the DLC Vergil died and went to Limbo.

I don't know enough about that to say one way or the other.

Except we see repeatedly most of humanity does not have the powers or the natural talent of the Occult Kate has. For example at the beginning of the game, Kate can see demons, which is something a vast majority of humanity cannot do. She also is a psychic and a medium which isn't something shown to be common for the vast majority of the human population. If you want argue the souls thing in Limbo - as that actually does seem to apply to the Common Joe or Jane - then fine, but using Kat for

You do realize in the scan Vergil is talking about revealing the truth about the demon conspiracy not actually opening up people's eyes right?

She said that extreme psychosomatic trauma can trigger astral projection. So it could happen to anyone. But if you feel that these are only Kat's abilities, I really don't mind.　We should leave this to staff members.

HER abilities were. You need to put a scan to show that any human can do this.

The Entire Point of the game is that a vast majority of humans can't see demons naturally or limbo. Kat could do both and was called crazy

ye I said the same thing

I plan to tackle the demon section and the nephilim too but lazy atm

 

[WhydoIneedtosignupintwoplaces]

You're attributing too many specific character things to every demon, Nephilim, human, etc. which is obviously incorrect. Just apply what's specific to whom and that's it. Nephilim do not have "low godly via spirit", I think this is a dumb phrase. Vergil died when he was stabbed in his heart, his regen in mid-low to high-low.

Being dragged to limbo isn't really the same as taking damage to your body or soul.

Coming back to the Earth dimension because he fused with his other half and yada yada isn't really regen. He died and then he was revived by going through an adventure.

To be fair, he was stabbed by Donte, so we can have a discussion about Regen and Regen Negation

Dante doesn't have "regen negation". He too feels immense pain from damage to his heart/chest in the game. He'd likely die the same way.

Just because someone feels pain from an attack doesn't mean they can't regenerate from that attack. But again different discussion, so I will stop here.

You guys seem to have missed the point. I've never said that people can do astral projection at any time or at will like Kat. You're talking about how often they can perform astral projection or whether they have the natural talent for it. So you seem to think they have to be high-end astral projection users like Strange or Kat, but that's irrelevant.
I'm talking about the fact that human souls are inherently capable of traveling to the astral plane and that's it. The subtle difference is that Kat can do it while she's alive whereas people can't. The point is whether it's feasible, not about talent or frequency. It really doesn't matter because a feat is a feat, even if it only happened once.
And it doesn't conflict with the possible uses.

Possible Uses​

• Leave the body to enter astral realm as a spirit/soul.
• Travel to Hell, Heaven, or another spiritual realm.

People do this after they die. There are two feats that human souls entered Limbo. Case1, and Case2.

Nephilim do not have "low godly via spirit", I think this is a dumb phrase. Being dragged to limbo isn't really the same as taking damage to your body or soul.

You haven't read anything, have you? None of your comments disprove my points. That's just ignoring everything.
Limbo is an astral plane where only spirits/astral forms can enter. Any attack in Limbo means harming souls/astral form. And the demons including Nephilim are ontologically spirits. Vergil got stabbed his chest, so its in mid-low to high-low? That's not true. I'm seeing the bigger picture.

Coming back to the Earth dimension because he fused with his other half and yada yada isn't really regen. He died and then he was revived by going through an adventure.

Ok.
