It is precisely not why they are stronger.A big part of that probably has to do with them spending literal decades at lower levels. As blatantly stated in game and displayed by tree guy, even at level 3 you can have power comparable to that of a level 5, given you spend enough time and effort.
Level 4 would only be more impressive in that regard. And since those three are built different in general, it's very plausible that when the trio were level 4, the rest of the captains were 3 or lower, and so gained less power than the trio over time. That makes even more sense when you consider that the evolution serum didn't exist back then.
Also, by the three I mean Bernhart and Malik, since Henri evolved straight to level 5 lmao
1. It was never stated how much time the trio has spent at lower lvl except Henri, and judging by the fact that Bernie and Malik evolved to lvl 5 not long after Henri, I doubt they had spent decades at their lower lvl.
2. Henri's whole point is that they are just different than the others, so if the trio at lvl4 is stronger than Kira and Ilijah just because they have been a SH much longer and have more time to accumulate power which is sth any SH can do given the same amount of time, then there's nothing "different" about them. If that's the case, Henri wouldn't even make the comparison at all. In context, the comparison only makes sense when it's comparing apple to apple, as in even as a lv4(who had been a SH roughly as long as Kira and Illijah) Bernie was still much stronger than them, and that's why they are built different.
