Character Stats and Profiles Wiki

In the past, we have encouraged users to create new pages for powers and abilities they thought the wiki lacked. However, as of now, we want new pages to be approved by the staff, meaning that new powers and abilities pages must be suggested. This can be done in our official Discord server in the suggestion channel, or messaged to a staff member. Of course, users can always create blogs about powers and abilities to include in their profiles if they don't want to attempt creating official pages. Linking to other wikis' powers and abilities pages is also permitted.

Summary[]

Originally introduced as a one-off side character, Popeye quickly rose to fame and became the star of his own adventures. He won the heart of Olive Oyl from Ham Gravy, adopted a son, Swee'Pea, whom he found in a box, and even saved and ruled Spinachovia on behalf of King Blozo—or putting Bluto or The Sea Hag in there place. He has made countless friends, embarked on endless adventures, and, of course, powered up with spinach every step of the way.

Powers and Stats[]

Tier: Varies, from 8-C, Low 4-C, 2-C, or 1-C | 2-C or 1-C He should be comparable to his higher-end without spinach feats.

Key: Without spinach | With spinach

Name: Popeye the Sailor Man

Origin: Thimble Theatre

Gender: Male

Age: 40 years old

Classification: Human, sailor

Powers and Abilities:

  • Superhuman Physical Characteristics
  • Immortality (Types 2, 3, and 4 Can still survive after having his body fully destroyed and can regenerate by eating spinach.) (Possibly 8 In Thimble Theatre physical existence is an illusion, and all beings are actually projections or "avatars" controlled by a higher consciousness from "the source".)
  • Nonexistent Physiology (Type 1; If Popeye's physical body is destroyed, his consciousness will persist as an invisible, incorporeal form Seen here and here.)
  • Self-Soul Control/Self-Resurrection (If Popeye were to die, he has complete control over his soul, which is just as strong as his physical form and possesses the same abilities, such as transmutation. He can even re-enter his body to bring himself back to life. Shown here)
  • Pure Soul (Popeye has been stated to have a pure mind, body, and soul. Shown here)
  • Purification (Because of his pure soul, Popeye can purify the Smog. Shown here)
  • Self-Sustenance (Type 1; can survive in space)
  • Acausality (Type 1 Popeye’s future self once traveled back in time to warn him about something. Despite the present Popeye seemingly changing his timeline with a new outcome, the future Popeye still existed, even after agreeing not to follow through with his warning. At one point, present Popeye asked every future version of himself if Wimpy ever paid him back, yet reality remained unaffected. Additionally, present Popeye encountered his past self without any repercussions. When all of reality was shut off, the Sea of Time — a physical realm that holds all of time, including Popeye’s timeline and history — was erased. Despite this, Popeye still remembered everything and continued to exist without issue.) (Possibly Type 3; There appear to be two versions of Popeye: one within the story itself and another depicted on the cover. The cover Popeye seems to be independent and separate from the one inside the book. He has the ability to travel back in time, replace the Popeye from the past, and then leave the book to return to the cover. Most likely, he doesn't remain in the book because there's already another Popeye within the story to take his place.)

  • Summoning (Can summon spinach at will seen here and here)
  • Disassembly (Popeye can punch objects or beings so hard that they split into smaller, weaker versions of themselves. Examples 1, 2, 3)

Eating something also works 8, and the fire from Popeye's pipe can also transmute things 9, in fact, anything that comes into contact with his body can be transmuted 10, even if he doesn’t intend to or want to. Most likely if something is trying to hurt him it will activate. 11)
  • Elemental Transmutation Popeye’s transmutation abilities allow him to change anything into any state of matter or element—solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. For example, he once punched a bunch of trees into a house, and the house contained fire and liquid-based foods. As seen here and even did with lightning here

Quitting simply isn't in his vocabulary, and he'll always persevere to see the fight through. Swee’Pea was given the Wish-o-Matic, a device capable of making anything in the universe a reality. Swee’Pea wished for Popeye to hate spinach, yet Popeye resisted with such incredible willpower that even cosmic and universal forces were involved.

  • Existence Erasure (When everything got erased, it eliminated all spatial dimensions, effectively wiping out space itself, along with time and the "Sea of Time," which represents the timeline and history. In Popeye’s cosmology, space, time, and the fourth dimension are interconnected, meaning all three should cease to exist. However, Popeye's soul and mind remain intact, making him immune to the erasure of space, time, body, mind, and soul. Shown here. It was also shown that after turning off reality, the Big Guy tried to erase Popeye again by stomping him out of existence, yet Popeye resisted it. This means he has resistance to two layers of existence erasure. Shown here.)

The Smog is an evil mist capable of affecting an area as large as a county. The Smog has been shown to be malevolent, Popeye has walked through it multiple times without experiencing any of its possible side effects. Thus, he would generally be immune to the following.

Also beat his author who should be 9-D as Popeye's cosmology exists in 8 dimensions) | Multi-Universe level or Complex Multiverse level (After eating spinach, Popeye can generate a quantum-entangled siphon of infinite energy across reality, thanks to his "source being" and his connection to "the source." Since all things—both living and non-living—are linked to the source, this includes higher-dimensional entities like Eugene the Jeep, a 4D being. As a result, beings from alternate dimensions and all 8 higher spatial planes should also be part of this entanglement, meaning his power output scales accordingly.

Said stunt shock the earth), (He should be comparable to his higher-end without spinach feats)

  • Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs (Popeye rapidly unleashes a flurry of punches in quick succession. Examples 1, 2, 3. Popeye has also used this technique strategically.

    • Oxygen-Independent Fire Generation (as seen here)
    • Can see out of his pipe (Seen here)
