Yes, but you do know that right?
@the_caped_crusader: Still irrelevant
@mr_ingenuity: They are
@homicidalmaniac: Your team dies.

This.
Also where are the saints from?
@the_caped_crusader: Who cares about that overrated hillbilly?
The poor excuse of a god, devil, angels, etc he's killed with his guns were all laugh-worthy jokes and pansies that no one would take seriously. Acqua LOLnopes his gunshots before giving the yokel the long sought-after rest he's wanted.
As for the actual thread, giving it to the Saints.
@nelomaxwell: A Certian Magical Index
@homicidalmaniac: From what i remember the only one who poses a significant threat based off feats is Gabriel. The others weren't that powerful to my knowledge. I think the sins take this. I could be mistaken however.
@homicidalmaniac: Meliodas is the only confirmed mountain buster of the Sins. But that's using a power-up he currently doesn't have full control of. So transforming in character is out of the question. I'm not including Escanor because his power is conditional.
Diane can be scaled to mountain level (at best) but compared to the rest of the Sins she's slow. Also her attacks are easily avoided,countered or overpowered.
I'm fairly certain none of the Sins can take a mountain busting hit. Having currently been outclassed by far less.
The Sins have a reasonable level of hax, hypersonic combat speed, & city level durability.
They have a pseudo telepath, ban who can steal stats (strength and speeds), King who has petrifaction and Meliodas who can use demon fire.

Overrated? SoK isn't even used in battles anymore.
Exactly how is Acqua going to dodge SoK's guns, which ALWAYS kill their target?

I can already see the NLF coming despite the fact that he's never shot anybody worth their salt to take the blatant hyperbole of his guns seriously but sure I'll give it a try. Acqua's signature ability.
Divine Mother's Mercy: As a result of his alignment with Gabriel, his latent abilities have blossomed. It is because of Gabriel's relationship with the Divine Mother, the Virgin Mary. As he was the one who informed her of the birth of the Son of God. This allows him to use spells related to the Divine Mother to a certain extent, specifically the Divine Mother's Worship, which leads to him being blessed with Divine Mother's Mercy (聖母の慈悲 Seibo no Jihi?).
His Divine Mother's Mercy bypasses the restrictions that make it unable for a member of God's Right Seat to use normal human magic.Moreover, as stated above, it removes the limiters on his body, allowing him to use the full extent of his superhuman speed and strength as a Saint. Not only that, this attribute allows him to negate any punishment, making him nigh-invulnerable.
With this spell, he has a feat of no-selling a spell that works by taking the target's life should they take another's life any time in the duration. Steel wires were used as substitutes for people and severing one of them was the equivalent of taking a life. He reveals his ability and how it happily allows him to cut all the wires without any ill effects. The ability also applies to the consequences of physical exertion, since the way Acqua fights would literally have anyone else's body explode or at least expire. Instead, he has no worries of ever injuring himself and unlimited stamina since he can't ever get tired from fighting at 100%. And of course as you'd imagine, he's a royal pain to even hurt in a fight. There's a reason he's called Superman in the fanbase.
So his ability lets him cheat death and another description I'll try and find later that allows him to be above heaven and hell's jurisdiction, and altogether no-sell a lot of things.
Other reason Divine Mother's Mercy trumps is because Angels in Index >>>>>>> The grunts that you can hardly call angels in Preachers especially the Archangel Acqua happens to be aligned with.
INB4 HUR DUR dont matter guns don't miss HUR DUR they kill anything.
Tell me the most worthwhile being he's killed. Who knows maybe I missed something. Prolly not.

He killed the Devil, the entire Heavenly Host, and God (Even though he was off his throne, he was still powerful enough to resurrect people and such). I can provide scans if you'd like.
@the_caped_crusader: Yup didn't miss anything I haven't seen already. So I'll just quote myself.

To go into more detail: Devil - Snarky little bastard that's easily intimidated by anything he can't bully. Bonus points since the actual Devil in the Bible has nothing but his power of manipulation going for him. Otherwise he's impotent and ignorant. This guy wasn't even savvy, but rather too dumb to live and nothing else was noteworthy about him. Put it short, he wasn't no Lucifer Morningstar.
Angels of the Not-So-Heavenly Host: Ugly looking, incompetent grunts that aren't so different than your usual thugs.
God: Ignorant and a joke of a god that was a tool more than anything.
See I might have taken Saint of Killers killing them more seriously if these beings weren't little more than sad parodies of the real deal. Index is also pretty much Biblical in name only, but my God when even an Angel appears, they actually do a good job in showing that Divine Wrath is horrifying even in a verse that specializes in dealing with them.

The whole point of Preacher was to mock religion. The only explanation I see with God and Satan being afraid of SoK is SoK operating on a higher authority than they do. If they thought they could do anything to SoK, they wouldn't have begged for mercy at the hands of SoK. Also, at the end of preacher, SoK sits on God's throne after killing him, making him the new God of that universe.
@the_caped_crusader: Well aware of why their portrayed like that, hence why I said that their parodies. All the more reason for why killing them is hardly impressive and neither is being stronger than them since it clearly doesn't take much. Nothing about him becoming God, no new powers or anything implied, Nevermind it wouldn't make sense for his character nor would someone like him fit the role. All we know is he's resting after getting his revenge. Anyway, Acqua's the one with the feats that don't rely on hyperbole, NLF, or assumption. Don't even know why we're having this. Has nothing to do with this thread.

Garth Ennis never meant to give feats to his characters, he was more indulged in the plot. He had no idea that years later people would pit his characters against others . Plus, the God of Preacherverse was the Christian God, not your typical skyfather. He created the universe and everything in it, and the fact that SoK killed the Christian God (And Satan, and the Heavenly Host) surpasses anything your Acqua has done.
@the_caped_crusader: You realize SoK isn't in this thread?
@the_caped_crusader: You realize SoK isn't in this thread?
Yup, lol.
@the_caped_crusader: Nope. All he did was create Angels and humans because he was lonely. Create a universe I doubt since everything else about him proves to be a lie and he's far from an Almighty being. He's a pansy I can bust a cap on as long as he isn't sitting on his throne, incompetently deals with humans, and apparently all it takes is some hot angel-on-demon inbreeding to surpass his "Almightyness" while he's on the throne. Putting him even at Skyfather level would be an insult to them.
Again why should I care about your hillbilly killing off some sad jokes that have nothing but worthless titles going for them? In a series that's meant to make them looks weak, incompetent, and hardly different than even the lowest of humanity nonetheless?
The saints are a lot more powerful than I remembered, but the sins should take it with numbers and hax and being in their general ballpark if not surpassing it.
