With the addition of multiple new calcs, the Rayman verse is due for some changes to how we approach the characters’ level of power.
AP/Durability revision for Most of the characters
So far when it comes to Rayman character profiles, we have stuck with “Varies from Small Country level to Solar System level” for AP and durability for most of the profiles. One issue with this is that we have no idea where the “Small Country level” designation came from in the first place. We have several recent calcs , including the explosion of the Moody Clouds, that instead seem to show “Varies from Small City level to Solar System level” to be a more accurate designation.Secondly, it’s a bit unclear currently whether many of the characters scale to the high end calc, where Rayman and his friends are able to shake a constellation with their charged attack. Therefore, I think it's best that there is some degree of separation between the characters involved in that feat, and those who aren’t.
Rabbids should receive their own separate designation. They are more annoyances to Rayman at best, while still somewhat comparable to him. They also could possibly be considered part of a separate canon as of Rabbids Go Home. In fact, Davide Soliani from Ubisoft stated that the Rayman and Rabbid worlds are now part of “two separate universes” (though they did briefly appear in the mobile game, Rayman Adventures). Therefore, we should scale them to other feats that were recently calced (1, 2, 3, 4).
So we propose the following changes:
Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Teensie:
AP/Durability: Varies from Small City level to Solar System level (Directly involved in constellation feat)
The Magician:
AP= Small City level, possibly Varies from Small City level to Solar System level
Durability= Varies from Small City level to Solar System level
(Is able to survive the Solar System level feat, but it's unknown whether his AP is that high)
Rabbids
at least City level to Multi-Continent level, possibly Dwarf Star level (scales to at least the city level and multi continent level feats; may scale to feats from the tv show)
All other characters besides Gods and Deities:
AP/Durability= Small City level, possibly Varies from Small City level to Solar System level (Has shown to be comparable to Rayman and friends, and may possibly scale to the constellation feat)
AP/Durability revision for the Deity characters
Polokus is consistently shown to be the top tier of the verse. He is shown to be the Supreme Being who created Rayman’s world. His dreams and nightmares are consistently shown to influence the state of the Glade of Dreams. The Rayman Origins website states “His feelings have a direct effect on the world, and even one bad dream can unsettle its fragile balance!” and the Knowledge of the World states “His power is such that his smallest dream or desire becomes reality”. He is also essential to the plot of Rayman 2 where the defeat of the Robo-Pirates that overran the Glade, hinged upon whether Rayman could wake Polokus. So at the very least, he should be on a similar level with Rayman.It is also hinted that he may be even stronger than that. In the Knowledge of the World it states “After having created all the creatures who live in this world, a harder task remained: creating time. So Polokus went to the place where all the gods of all the worlds meet, and together they set about dreaming up the future.” So he had a hand in creating the spacetime continuum of the universe alongside an unknown number of gods. This is further evidenced by the Teensie Highway, which shows similar attributes to a wormhole. It shows images of Rayman 1 and even a Star Trek ship, being evidence that is a passage through spacetime. Polokus probably created the Highway since the Teensies’ role was only to “unveil all the roads of the World” according to the Knowledge of the World.
There is also the fact that the constellations shown in the sky in the game Rayman Legends depict creatures that are found in the Glade of Dreams. This could possibly show that Polokus created celestial bodies as well. While it is not for sure, this provides more evidence that he is stronger than shown.
We know a lot less about The Leptys in comparison, but there is no reason that we shouldn’t include him among “all the gods of all the worlds”, so he should have a similar control over the space-time continuum (especially since he has his own pocket dimension at the end of Rayman 3). A Teensie Doctor also stated that The Leptys is a massive threat to the Glade of Dreams, stating the world would “go up in smoke” if Reflux succeeds in summoning the Leptys. This supported by the fact that other Rayman characters are shown to be in awe of his power. André stated that he would be able to “reproduce infinitely” using The Leptys’s energy. So with that said, here is how these profiles should be revised:
Polokus, Leptys:
At least Solar System level, probably much higher
Lums (including Black Lums like André) are harder to determine in comparison, but their power has been hinted at in the games. Most notably the Knowledge of the World states that everything in Rayman’s universe is made of Lums: “First, you must know that the universe is made of energy. Everything that moves around you, everything that lives and thinks is given life by the tiny magical lights which we call... Lums.” It also says when the Lums “focused themselves into thought” they created Polokus. They grant “universal knowledge” when collected. The Heart of the World, which is made up of 1000 Yellow Lums, keeps the Glade of Dreams in harmony and balance. The destruction of the Heart of the World throws the Glade of Dreams into chaos in Rayman 2. It was responsible for giving the citizens of the Glade of Dreams magical abilities and attacks. So characters like Rayman, Ly the Fairy, and the Teensies were unable to perform the majority of their abilities unless they gathered Yellow Lums, and sometimes Silver Lums. So the majority of the Glade’s residents were completely powerless to stop the Robo-Pirates after the Heart was destroyed in Rayman 2.
In spin-off games, Rayman can use Yellow Lums as throwable projectiles in the DS version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, and is able to harm Rabbids with them. Black Lums were implied to give the Robo-Pirates more power in some way in the GBA version of Rayman 3. André was also able to harm Globox while inside of him in Rayman 3. So at the very least, they may be able to scale to non-Deity Rayman characters.
Lums, André:
AP/Durability= Small City level, possibly Varies from Small City level to Solar System level
Lifting Strength/Speed Revision
In the Rabbids Invasion tv intro, the Rabbids were able to pull the Earth’s continents. This would upgrade their lifting strength to Class Z if it is considered valid. This would also give them Sub-Relativistic speed.In Rayman Raving Rabbids, there is a minigame called “Bunnies like surprises” which ends with a Rabbid and Rayman getting crushed by a 50,000 ton weight. If we assume Rayman and Rabbids to be able to lift this weight, then they should be upgraded to Class M lifting strength. This may apply to the rest of the Rayman cast as well.
Other Potential Changes
One significant change that we could make to the profiles is separate Rayman characters by their different versions. For instance, we could potentially separate Rayman into four different character profiles: Rayman 1, Rayman 2, Rayman 3/Raving Rabbids, and Origins/Legends.While Ubisoft never stated that these are separate canons, the series is infamously wonky and inconsistent to the point where people question whether games like Rayman 2 or Rayman Origins could be considered continuations or complete reboots of the franchise, given that there are shown to be drastic differences in how Rayman’s world and characters work with many games of the series.
We can also either treat each game's cast separately or keep it together since not much thought went into the series' canon as a whole. These changes are more up for discussion since there is enough evidence that could support either approach.
