i legit know nothing about wh40k.what are its more powerful characters capable of?
In the material universe, the most powerful individual beings to ever exist were the C'tan in their prime, basically massive energy beings who wrapped themselves around stars and fed off of them who operated on a scale so large they didn't realize planets existed. When their energy is put into a necrodermis shell they are more readily able to interact with the physical world, and have feats like creating black holes to consume multiple solar systems and travel the void of space unaided, as well as generally being able to manipulate time, space, and physics and warp reality.
The most powerful "mortal" characters are generally Primarchs, the sons of the God Emperor, and extremely powerful psykers, with the Emperor being the most powerful psyker in recorded history. Magnus the Red as both a Primarch and the second most powerful psyker in the Imperium is particularly powerful, and has destroyed the surface of planets, telepathically influenced worlds, and like all his brothers can physically shatter mountains.
In terms of speed, enough feats of Space Marines having hypersonic to massively hypersonic reaction-time and attack speed exist to be more than just outliers, like one time an Ultramarines sergeant exploited a microsecond-long opponent to stab his opponent, and earlier another Ultramarine surveys his surroundings and comes up with potential battle tactics in a nanosecond.
It's pretty powerful, but there's no telling how powerful the characters in the actual comic will be. Different writers have different ideas.

Writers have simplified him to being a glorified Cyclops.
