Summary[]
Sung Jinwoo, also known as Seong Jin-Wu, is the central character in the series Solo Leveling. He is considered the most powerful hunter in the world and has become the second Shadow Monarch, inheriting this role from the previous holder, Ashborn.
Initially, Jinwoo was an infamously weak E-Rank Hunter. However, he was granted an incredible opportunity when he was chosen to be the Player of the System, which gave him the unique ability to grow in strength without limits. By taking full advantage of the opportunities provided by the System, Jinwoo was eventually able to rise to become humanity's greatest and most formidable hunter.

Physical Strength: At least Building level || At least large Building level, likely higher || At least Town level || City level || At least City level, likely higher || At least Planet level || Universe level+
Attack Potency: At least Building (Easily killed several Centipedes) || At least Large Building, likely higher (Superior to the likes of Vulcan and Kargalgan) || At least Town (Superior to Architect) || City (Almost killed Thomas Andre in a 1 on 1 fight, every bone in his body was broken along with other serious injuries) || At least City, likely higher (Far superior to National Level Hunters, had upper hand even in a 2 vs 1 against Monarch of Frost and Monarch of Beastly Fangs) || At least Planet (Shook the whole Planet with just a roar. Fought on par with Antares, however eventually lost later on due to stamina issue. After 27 years, Jin-Woo fought and killed Antares due to being much stronger than before. All of his notable feats happened on a much more durable Earth due to it being fortified by mana over the ten years so it could survive the final war. Jin-Woo was threatening the Planet just by his presence on it when there wasn't anymore mana left on it) || Universe level+ (Was consistently stated to fight the Itharim, which are Absolute Beings from other universes who have also created universes. Jin-Woo is feared by the Rulers who are able to kill the Absolute Being, the Absolute Being is able to create the universe which includes its space-time)
Durability: At least Building || At least large Building, likely higher || At least Town level (Tanked full powered attack from Ant King with no damage, leveled up further in later arcs) || City level || At least City level, likely higher || Planet level (Tanked many attacks from full powered Antares) || Universe level+ (Was consistently stated to fight the Itharim. Is far stronger than the likes of the Rulers and the Brightest Fragment of Brilliant Light)
Speed: Supersonic (Threw a broken sword at Speed of Sound in early series and leveled up a lot later on. Furthermore, that Speed of Sound travelling sword could be perceived by an injured rank D hunter but later on even higher ranked Hunters were unable to see Jin-Woo's movement. And soon, he even surpassed the speed of rank B Hunters) || At least Supersonic, likely higher (Faster than even rank A Hunters) || Massively Hypersonic (Reacted and evaded numerous lightning bolts) || Massively Hypersonic || At least Massively Hypersonic || Faster than Light (Outpaced 'Breath of Destruction' that moves at the Speed of Light) || TransUniversal (Scales to Beru who performed this feat)
Intelligence: At least Very High (A well experienced fighter who even managed to outsmart a war genius like Dragon Emperor, who had already been constantly in wars for aeons against the Rulers. Jin-Woo also has perfect control over his army of millions, able to sync them accordingly in middle of battle, and so on.)
Stamina: High || Very High || Very High || Extremely High || Extremely High || Extremely High
Range: Extended Melee, Several Meters with Domain of the Monarch, Interdimensional with Shadow Exchange || Planetary (After becoming Shadow Monarch)
Weaknesses: Regeneration of his shadow soldiers depends on his mana so if they continuously keep on taking considerable damage to regenerate, his mana will eventually run out. However, his mana capacity increased greatly after obtaining the 'Black Heart' and even greatly after becoming Shadow Monarch, to such an extent that he had no issue over regeneration of millions of his Shadow Soldiers fighting.
