I was rewatching ''Devilman Crybaby'' and decided to make a post related to it. In this scenario, you'll be attacked by a demon and luckily, not only prevent yourself from being possessed, but tame the beast and make its power your own.
Here's all the information about Demons and Devilmen...
Demons have vastly different unique shapes due to their ability to fuse with living tissue of other lifeforms and inherit their various attributes through atavistic evolution. As part of their life in the prehistoric era, adopted a law of the jungle attitude that very few do not follow, killing off anyone who oppose them even other demons, ass a result many demons see themselves as superior lifeforms. Some demons group up with others under powerful beings like Zennon while others like Amon and Jinmen act independently while having assistance from others when it suits them. In general the demons have superhuman strength and durability, but more specific abilities varies from demon to demon. Following their frozen prisonment all subsequent demons have the ability to merge with other creatures to become stronger, this is not limited to animals either as some demons had merged with plant and even some demons can also merge with machines, but this is very rare. Because their abilities are on a cellular level, they can also shapeshift to mimic the appearance of the creature they merged with, becoming indistinguishable among the rest of people. A few demons have limited psychic abilities that allow them to take over bodies of their choice and dominate hosts full of weak will and wicked desire. While there are both male and female demons and can love, it is unknown if they can reproduce, but they are still another of many Earth's creatures and reproduction is still theoretically possible.
About their destructive power is hard to say for sure; their strength varies greatly from demon to demon, from being superior to average humans to being able to destroy mountains. Most demons can attack, and are capable of destroying large buildings and small areas of a city. The more powerful demons are able to destroy large cities and small mountains, but the truly strongest demons can easily destroy the surface of large islands to the territories of big mountains. In addition, each demon has unique abilities, possessing the capability to manipulate a particular phenomenon, ranging from simple things like controlling the weather and elements to more complex abilities such as control of the body, mind and soul. By the way, the only ones from Devilman that exists in this scenario are Demons, so no Angels or God are involved. The reason of the slumber is due to the extinction of the dinosaurs, forcing them to sleep until the planet has new life forms to fuse with. When a demon attempt to take over a human body that was either insane, paranoid, or in panic as a result of instinct a demon would easily have an opportunity take over the human body. However if the human was of a pure and innocent soul or possessed a powerful will that resists the temptations of demons they would have a chance to dominate the demons' spirit and take control of its powers (Both in human and devilman form) and appearance, as well as have access to all the demon's thoughts and memories, becoming something known as a ''Devilman''.
For example, here's my case...
Prior to my fusion with the demon, Asterius, I was a regular human with only a higher extrasensory perception, allowing me to sense people's true intentions and even the presence of ''strange presences''. Once merging with Asterius into a devilman, my human body is enhanced to superhuman levels, being able to run at very high speeds and my enhanced strength allows me to punch through concrete and defeat a group of people with only one arm. When going into my devilman form (Taking the appearance of a minotaur-like beast), my massive strength allows me to tear through enemies, including demons, like they were made out of paper. My horns not only sharp and tough, I can tear them off and use them as melee weapons, as they will grow back the next day. Perhaps my greatest trait is resilience, being able to tank damage that would incapacitate even another devilman and push through inhuman levels of pain.
What about you? Are you a Devilman?
