Ranking all Apostle Level Characters we’ve seen so far based on who’s the strongest in a fight.
- Peter
With his BIQ + prep + knowledge + experience + ability to turn anything as a weapon makes him basically the Batman of the verse.
But from what we’ve seen of Peter, he would probably be a lot lower in terms of just pure power, unless he’s hiding something.
Although, at the same time we haven’t seen Peter fighting with a good weapon and i’m personally guessing he will go insane when he uses that rosary weapon that we’ve literally seen him use 1 time (but that’s just a theory).
- Judas Iscariot
Although, we haven’t seen anything of him so far - the statement of him being the closest/another Peter says a lot. He is probably going to be the toughest opponent Peter has to face from what we know. Although, Raphael will probably be the final and strongest enemy narrative-wise.
- Philip
Defeated both Thaddeus and Peter.
Although, they were injured and Peter wasn’t focused on the battle, it’s still an insane feat to easily destroy 2 apostle level characters.
Thaddeus not injured vs Phillip would definitely interesting; i’d honestly say Phillip takes it mid-high diff due to the fact that Phillip is a hard counter to Thaddeus.
Philip knows how to counter Thaddeus’ 0-second reaction time and it was stated Phillip knows every technique and weapons which makes him a perfect counter to Thaddeus.
He is also shown to be pretty smart and he was definitely not going all out during the 1v2. He probably has a lot more things knowing he is a whole dam military robot.
Also it’s really hard to scale this character and if we scale just by feats alone, he might even be number 1.
Yes, Peter and Thaddeus was injured but he destroyed 2 apostle level characters with no difficulty at all?
Sure, while Peter whole thing is his prep time and BIQ and he didn’t have the chance to use it to the fullest against Phillip, we have seen Peter being equal (possibly even stronger) IN A FIGHT OF JUST PURE POWER against Nathaniel who is arguably, purely the strongest in terms of just raw power. Then, Peter got bodied by Phillip. It’s either Peter was just really unfocused, his power got retconned, or Phillip is just built different.
4-5. Thaddeus and Johan
It was hard for me to decide who would come out on top because it would be very situational.
While I think Thaddeus has the upper hand in pure power, I don’t see how Thaddeus would fight Johan in a dark and advantageous place for Johan.
So; I think Thaddeus takes it in a direct fight with no prep and no knowledge about the enemy.
But Johan would take it in a fight where there’s time and distance between them and with prep + knowledge allowed. + Due to the fact that Johan seems smarter in battle than Thaddeus, and in-character, Johan would not fight where he is at a disadvantage.
I honestly see a valid argument for both. But i’ll admit i’m a bit of a Johan fan so take this with a grain of salt.
- Nathaniel (Glory)
Honestly this is very debatable on who would take the 6th spot and this might be a controversial opinion.
But I personally think that Nathaniel would beat all the other apostle level characters that is not in my top 5. In fact, I actually see him giving Johan a run for his money.
He has undoubtably the best pure strength and durability feats in the verse and only got beaten by “experience” and BIQ by of course none other than Peter.
If he didn’t messed up in the end of the battle against Peter and continued evolving, he would basically be a borderline Mahoraga.
- Simon (Honor)
Now that I think about it, his 2 major battles we’ve seen of him was very bad matches;
1) Got caught off guard by hallucination perfume
2) Has an un-dodge-able attack but used it against someone who literally had 0-second reaction time and the fastest in the verse (Thaddeus).
While he might seem like a fraud, he still has one of the best speed feats in the verse, good attack feats, and I personally find him beating Kageo as long as he doesn’t get hit by the blood poison and from what we’ve seen, Simon should be a lot faster than Kageo.
His major weakness is that he doesn’t seem to be really smart and had really bad match-ups.
- Kageo
Honestly, he doesn’t seem to be all that even with his blood poison.
He definitely has decent potential but I find that he’s really bland and easily gets beaten by anyone who is a lot faster than him, smarter than him, or knows how to deal with his blood poison, which make me put him at last place.
Note; This list only includes characters that are apostle level, characters with clear statements like Judas, and characters we’ve seen feats off (no unknown apostles, no Matthew because no statements or feats yet from what I know).
Although, this is just a tier list for fun and I don’t really have the best memory so I might be missing something.
Plus, the Killer Peter verse is really hard to scale because the fights are very situational and depends on who has the advantage.
For example;
Thaddeus vs Johan.
Peter battles basically depending on if he gets enough time to figure out how to win when his opponent is purely stronger than him.
Thaddeus would win against Nathaniel, Nathaniel has a better chance against Phillip than Thaddeus and might even beat Phillip due to it just being a battle of pure strength, and Phillip absolutely countering Thaddeus.
My man Simon getting unlucky with his matches.
And many more.
So just take this whole list with a grain of salt.
