Subject Name: Leviathan

Alias(es): Cthulhu, Levi

Affiliation: Unknown

First Recorded Appearance: 2018, Bendis City

Power Tier Classification: Tier 5 (Extreme Threat)

Leviathan possesses strength comparable to Jericho's. His immense size allows him to wreak havoc on an unprecedented scale. His body can withstand assaults from high-tier metahumans and military-grade weaponry.

While Leviathan generally appears as a titanic humanoid covered in ritual scarification, his presence distorts perception. Individuals who gaze upon him may see varying forms:

• The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
• Santa Claus
• Cthulhu
• A colossal, predatory bird enveloped in flames
• A titanic, crumbling statue resembling ancient deities

Prolonged observation of Leviathan can lead to severe mental strain, hallucinations, and even long-term trauma.

Despite his monstrous appearance, Leviathan showcases intelligence at or above human level. He is known to target facilities storing advanced technology, implying a purpose beyond mere destruction.

Leviathan's origins remain enigmatic. His sudden emergence from the depths of the ocean left the world in shock, and no concrete information has been discerned about his true nature or purpose.

Leviathan has consistently targeted Bendis City since his debut, causing unprecedented devastation with each attack. Thousands have perished in his wake, leading to significant anti-Leviathan defense measures. A cult revering him as a deity has risen, though Leviathan himself has shown no inclination to associate with them.

While Leviathan's motivations are unclear, his actions are calculated and intentional. He seems driven by more than just a desire for destruction, hinting at a broader purpose or goal related to the technology he steals.

Leviathan has been responsible for the deaths of thousands and has caused untold property damage, making him one of the most dangerous threats known to the DMC.

Due to the extreme nature of the threat Leviathan poses, the DMC has sanctioned the use of all available resources, including the temporary release of incarcerated metahumans, to combat him. Collaborative efforts with superheroes and global defense agencies are ongoing.

Extreme - Leviathan's unparalleled strength, combined with his mysterious origins and goals, classify him as one of the world's top-tier threats. His consistent focus on Bendis City has made the location a hotspot for DMC activity.

Given the recurring and high-level threat Leviathan presents:

• A permanent task force is stationed in Bendis City, equipped with the latest defense technology and metahuman support.
• Pre-approved protocols are in place for the release and cooperation of high-power incarcerated metahumans during Leviathan's attacks.
• Collaboration with international superhero and defense organizations to formulate a long-term strategy against Leviathan is ongoing.
• Efforts to understand and counteract his hallucinogenic perception effects are a top research priority.

DMC advises extreme caution when engaging or observing Leviathan. Agents and allied metahumans should prioritize civilian safety and evacuation. Collaborative strategies and pooling of resources is crucial in countering this threat.
