Mortal-born loner ascending the cultivation ladder over millennia. Survival through caution, paranoia, and incremental compounding β the inverse of insta-OP isekai. Bonds rare and load-bearing.
The matchup needs two readings: direct capability inside a scene, and world influence across the story system.

Different power types make direct strength comparison misleading. What matters here is the character identity gap: what each existence does to the world, not who hits harder. DNA tells a different story: Han Li: self-determination and identity, Twenty-Fifth Bam: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
