Captain Kayvaan Shrike
[Insert Image here]
Strength: Unfortunatley there is a very low amount of information on Captain Kayvaan Shrike's strength. However considering he is a Space Marine all of which share the same genetic implants it can be assumed we can measure him with that of another marines. Strength. As quoted in a Space Wolf novel it was shown that a marine casually and lightly backhanded a chaos cultist and sent the man flying across the room. In the novel "Traitor General" Colonel Commissar Gaunt confronted a Chaos Space Marine Lord. In their fight the lord got a lucky blow on him and sent him, flying backwards. And this punch was not even meant to happen, in fact it was a very light punch. [Not finished]
Speed: A Marine is quoted to move at lightning fast reactions due to their genetic implants. A well-known trait would be in a Ravenor (Or was it an Eisenhorn.....hmmm) was an Inquistor was blocking shots point blank with his power sword. Marines and Inquistors in the game have just about the same stat ratings therefore it can be assumed a Marine can do the same. Lightning fast reactions ought to sum it up.
Durability/Endurance: Space Marines have been known to throw themselves upon anti-tank motar shells and manage to cover the explosion to the extent where it only affects them. Also in the book "Crimson Nights" an unarmored Space Marine managed to take a full blow from an uncharged thunder hammer type weapon and only come out with a few broken bones. He then pushed on to beat the living s**t out of the b*****d who had wounded him. A Marine's armour is known for its endurance ability as well being able to take regimental fire from guardsmen and still being able to press-on. Marine armour is made out of a combination of rock-crete which is a very powerful substance, adamantium and ceramite. Uriel Ventris an Ultramarine Captain at the battle of (insert name I have to reread later on ere) was pounced on by a large brood of hormagaunts. They proceeded to begin to rip into his armour, some claws actually made it through (Hormagaunt claws have been known to rip through five layers of steel) however as soon as they left the improved system was able to instantly clot it and prevent more bleeding. Space Marines are almost impossible to poison as well seeing as their improved system allows one to drink it as if it were wine and then casually continue onwards. Only the strongest poison like that of a Dark Eldar weapon or Tyranid venom cannon have been actually known to harm the marines.
Intellect: Captain Kayvaan Shrike is smart. Even for a marine. Before his time as a marine he was a

Marines are incredibly strong, and I'd say the average lifting strength of a marine would be somewhere around 1000 IBs.
When it comes to speed many of the more skilled marines are capable of moving at super human levels WITHOUT THE AID OF THERE ARMOR'S PROPULSION. Meaning that a specail character like Shrike is capable on his own of movements in excess of 60 MPH, add in the armor's gyroscopes and the highly manueverable jetpack and you're probably looking at speeds in excess of 150 MPH.
Kayvan also has a pair of Lightning Claws, which are capable of mono-molecular damage. If anything could go throgh adamantium, it would be Lightning Claws.
All Marines can spit an incredibly corrosive acid.
All Marines have an subcutaneous endoskeleton that is capable of deflecting point blank bolter shells. Durability is FAR greater than any modern armor...and that's not even power armor.
All Marines are capable of fighting while literally ripped in half.

Try to remember that Space Marines are utterly, horribly rediculous. In all reality Kayvan Shrike alone would probably be able to destroy the Hulk based on the strength of his gear ALONE.
