With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Mr Zoat]

I've been wondering, considering how Paul has rebuilt his body twice and has been in contact with those who have pushed their body to peak and super human, along with having access to multiple super serums. How is his baseline abilities compared to a normal human, without his rings or armor?

About the same. His unusual soul structure means that magical augmentative formulae don't work properly for him. His concept of self combined with an orange power ring means that cybernetics are out. And as for mundane chemical augmentations... You saw Tangseid.

Physically, he's a perfected version of his pre-ring self. But other than fixing his eyes and removing heavy metals he hasn't really done anything to his body, because... How strongly can you feel about getting a slightly more effective liver? What would that even be like? Getting rid of things that shouldn't be there was easy. The eyes were harder because he actually had to study the relevent biology and firmly decide 'this is me'.

Didn't he rework things so that he has the stamina to run a marathon without the usual muscle damage cascade, and similar strength and other enhancements? At Diana's insistence, while she was giving him training assignments?

Which is still technically human but in the sense Captain America is human.

There's a rather good quote from Batgirl (the comic) where a couple of agents are observing her fight. One suggests that she has to be a metahuman, which provokes the other into listing what a peak human can do and pointing out that nothing she does is impossible.

He can set his ring to repair him, even oxygenate his blood so that he never has to use anerobic respiration. But as far as I remember I've never written anything about his going into full augmentation territory.
