Been wanting to fix up David's page since the end of Legion season 2 (which is excellent and you should be watching it, by the way). Most of this stuff isn't too major, so it's going to be lumped into one revision.
Powers and Abilities
David has a few missing powers that should be added. You'll have to excuse the lack of clips, as it's kind of difficult to find many specific scenes for the show.
David's durability is listed as "Human level". The problem is, this is only the case when his powers aren't in use. He's constantly shown the ability to protect himself and others with these powers, often even subconsciously. With the finale of Season 2, we finally get undeniable proof of this. David and Farouk (who, for those who don't watch the show, are equals in power) finally go head to head after Farouk regains his original body. However, the two are unable to directly harm each other, instead doing battle with massive astral versions of themselves. In fact, they're unable to physically harm each other at all until their powers are disabled. This makes it pretty clear that David's durability should be "Human level naturally, Small Planet level with his powers".
Speed
The finale has also given David speed feats that likely exceed his current Supersonic rating by an extreme degree. I've posted it in the calculation request thread, and would appreciate if someone was willing to take a look at it.
Something Extra
This one is extremely unimportant and not at all combat related, but I'm throwing it in here, anyway. In the penultimate episode of season 2, David was finally referred to as "Legion", so that can be added as an alias under his name.

- Transmutation: This is really just a more specified version of David's Matter Manipulation and Reality Warping, but he and the Shadow King have always been shown to be able to use their powers for these purposes. Off the top of my head, there's the instance in which the Shadow King (using both the guises of Lenny and Oliver) turned some soldiers into animals such as pigs just by pointing at them. I'm also pretty sure David has turned people in black smoke, before.
- Perception Manipulation: Ties into his Illusion Creation and Mind Manipulation. This has been a pretty consistent power of his.
- Weather Manipulation: Demonstrated in the season 2 finale. His confrontation with Farouk out in the desert created a massive storm that covered the sky, with many of their blows against each other causing/manifesting bolts of lightning.
- Memory Manipulation: More specific version of his Mind Manipulation. A weakened David removes select memories from Syd's mind with a gesture. Shown in the season 2 finale.
- BFR: Not entirely sure if this counts as BFR, since David is technically just affecting someone's mind while doing nothing to their body, but in season 1 episodes 5 and 6, he showed the ability to shunt people's minds into an "alternate reality", while their bodies became motionless in the real world.
- Durability Negation: An extremely obvious one. Most of his powers do this.
- Resistance to Reality Warping, Matter Manipulation, and Time Manipulation: David already has resistance to Mind Manipulation and Mind Control due to his encounters with Farouk in the astral plane. However, the finale of Season 2 has shown that even when throwing all their powers at each other in the physical world, they're still incredibly evenly matched. David's abilities are virtually identical to Farouk's (minus Possession and Type 6 Immortality, which even then is likely only due to not knowing how to do this as opposed to being entirely unable), and neither would be able to survive an encounter with the other, let alone be so evenly matched, without some degree of resistance/counter to the things that provide the basis for all of their abilities.
- Forcefield Creation: Another obvious one. He's shown to do this many times. Which leads into...
