so regular superhumans = small PP; apostle spawn = massive PP.I've been sitting here for the past day and I thought about the power increase from Level 2 to Level 3 again. I don't think it's supposed to be a 200 power increase normally. It's likely supposed to be a 100 power increase but because the MC has both traits, his evolution gained an extra 100.
The reason why I think this is because immediately after evolving, he was able to beat Cole, according to the 3rd and 4th. Even with the evolution amp still going, it still shouldn't have been that easy to close the gap. Especially since Cole is Peak Level 3. That means the MC's power increase was massive compared to others.
Now let's look over the known Level 2 powers and compare the MC's growth. When he first reached Level 2, the MC grows to a minimum of 20 power points with his overall power being around mid 30s. Looking at Danica first, who's been a Superhuman for 2 years. She only had 24 Power as a Level 2. We don't know when she reached it but the MC has a 10 point gain over her after his. After her is Laurie. She reached level 2 a few weeks before she encountered Jake. Yet she only had 33 Power, I believe. Meanwhile, MC has around 40 to 50 during that time and 70 to 80(via horn) when he meets her in person. That growth rate is massive.
Now, this is where the real question begins. Was it because MC was a Dual Trait Spawn or because he was an Apostle Spawn? Jake's power points were also progressing fast and the MC wasn't able to close the power gap until after he defeated him and used the horn. It seems more likely that Apostle Spawns get a huge power increase as well. On top of them gaining power points faster. Jake's power isn't combat focus as well so he can increase it much faster than the MC who has to physically train. A bit of extra context to it, maybe?
If they do have an additional boost, then maybe the power increases look like this.
- 3rd Evolution(Everybody) - 100 PP
- 3rd Evolution(2nd Gen) - 125 PP
- 3rd Evolution(Apostle Spawn) - 150 PP(50 extra for being an Apostle Spawn)
- 3rd Evolution(Spawn with Both Traits) - 200 PP(another 50 extra for the 2nd trait)
When you think about it, the MC on his first evolution outpaced the Minyaks entire race since they cap at 31 Power. Before he evolved to Level 3, the MC nearly reached Leigong race cap at 150 Power max.
There's also another thing. Besides the rapid pace of power points gained, the MC capacity is also higher as well. I can't imagine Laurie ever gaining 100 Power without reaching Level 3 first. I feel like regular superhumans have a power cap at Level 2 and lower. Meanwhile the MC, even when he peaked, was able to increase it higher than the known Level 2's with only Jake being able to keep pace with him.
Now this is purely speculative but let's put some potential numbers to Level 4 and 5 to see the growth rate. Since the MC got 20 power points from Evolution Level 2 and 200 from Level 3. We can guess that Level 4 is a 2000 Power increase for him, with Level 5 being either 20,000 or higher. Unless WW lowers it a bit, dropping it to baseline 200 PP(400 for MC) increase on 4th for everyone and 500 on 5th. To keep the numbers lower for tracking sake.
So it would be:
- 4th Evolution (Everybody) - 200 PP
- 4th Evolution(2nd Gen) - 250 PP
- 4th Evolution(Apostle Spawn) - 300 PP(100 PP gain over normal Superhumans)
- 4th Evolution(Spawn with Both Traits) - 400 PP(Extra 100 from having both traits)
Level 5 would be harder because the increase is huge and there's no tells what the amplifier could be for Apostle Spawns and a Dual Traits Spawn like the MC. Even with 500 being the baseline, they could potentially jump a thousand points ahead. Meaning someone like Ella could have more power points than someone like Clark or Nico on their 5th Evolution.
That is all from me, for now. It's been on my mind for months, since the MC and Jake evolved to level 2. I figured I would put it out there now since it was back on my mind again. 3rd Evolution giving me more thoughts about it about it and all. I actually sort of did a similar post like this but it was about the effects of artificial evolution vs pure.
Math checks out
