Riddick?

No. He is most definitely above peak human. Strength, endurance, and sight.

He's not human, he's Furyan.

Personally i'd rather keep all these ridiculously stupid classifications out of the movie vs forum altogether. They cause more problems than they solve given that there's more arugments and petty flaming and bickering about who falls into what catagory in the 1st place.

So true.

B-But I never said he was human.

I would say the Watchmen characters are just exagerated peak humans.

Metahuman implies some sort of superpower. The crimebusters were just human's who worked out.

Not Ozymandias, at least. He's super-human. I just watched the Watchmen: Ultimate Edition this weekend.

Kicking Rorschah airborne well over 30 feet (was something closer to 50). Tossing a very thick/heavy chair about 30-40 feet into Nightowl like it was one of those cheap plastic and aluminum ones and jumping 10 feet up; then 40-50 feet across and catching a bullet is definitely signs of super-powered individual.

Not to mention, moving at a speeds relative to a bullet. Watch that slow mo scene again. I did a guess math on it and he would have had to move his head in the hundreds of MPH.

Can a peak human do this?

A man, I would estimate was about 200 pounds, jumped Riddick from overhead, Riddick effortlessly stopped him and held him in midair with a straight arm.

Vin Diesel can.

Furyan, dude, Furyan.

Riddick also did that thing when he rolled to the ceiling on that, rope, then fell down to break his cuffs, that should have ripped his arms off. And getting hit with that gravity gun literally caved in the chests of humans and necromongers, Riddick took it with a grunt. He's super-furyan. And if that isn't enough of a reason, he has an actual super power. The Wrath of the Furyan ability.

He didn't get hit by the energy gun, he held a Necromonger up and the Necromonger took the brunt of the impact.

I could swear he got hit by one and it sent him flying and spinning around??? I'll probably watch it again. I still have no doubt he could have taken a direct hit from one, he would have been hurt, but not killed.

That's the scene, the Necro took the hit, Riddick went flying.

Batman
Frank
James Bond
James Bourne
Bruce Lee (in his movies, and you could argue real life as well)
etc.

Nemebro specifically said "peak-human", and I was describing to him why even a peak human would not have been able to do what the Furyan did.

I know, but he's...human. He has no superpowers. He's just a guy.

Super Strength
Super Speed
Enhanced Reaction Time
Super Smart

All of those are considered powers.
