Nikola Tesla | Heavenly Tutor

Appearance

Nikola Tesla is a rather tall, young and lean man with curly brown hair that's parted at the front. He wears a formal wear with a white shirt, black tie and waistcoat. He also wears khaki pants with a pair of boots along with a long jacket, where the bottom left side is made out of a black netted material. A feather is pinned to his left lapel and he wears a glove on only his right hand. Both hands have two rings on each finger. Tesla also wears a pair of goggles that usually hang around his neck. These goggles and his hairstyle seem to be inspired by his older brother, Dane Tesla, who he looked up to.

Personality

Tesla is a man of science, who deeply loves his work and the laws of physics. Because of this, he refuses to let someone compare it to magic.[6] His passion for science can sometimes make him behave in an insensitive or rude manner, as seen when he started touching and staring at Göndul to see if she was a "material" capable of making his theory into a reality.[7] Nikola Tesla believes that Humanity is able to evolve through failures According to Marie Curie, Tesla is a man who is very obsessed with his research[8] and as a result, this trait can lead to Tesla having a tendency of forgetting about everything else and only focusing on what interests him. For example, after Beelzebub overpowered him in the early stages of the eighth round, Tesla, despite being injured, got excited over how the Staff of Apomyius increased the energy of his opponent's vibrations. He even asked Beelzebub to let him borrow the staff so that he could study how it worked.[9] Tesla seems to have a very bad sense of naming his inventions, with Galilei describing the names given by Tesla as "completely and utterly lame", and Marie Curie being embarrassed by them to the point of blushing and stating that she can't take hearing them anymore. Due to his love of science, Tesla is also severely intrigued by anything that could allow Humans to advance, and is especially proud of them when he figures them out. This love of advancement even went as far as him explaining the exact strengths and weaknesses of his teleportation ability, one of the few advantages he had over Beelzebub, right in the middle of their fight. His pride in advancement stayed with him to the end, using his last moments to deliver a speech to the rest of Humanity, claiming that, so long as advancement continued, Humanity would live forever.

Abilities Overall Abilities: According to Brunhilde, Tesla is the only Human in all of Human history that can be called a sorcerer.[4] Due to his immense intellect and his creations that have changed the world forever, his work has been compared to magic. Even mankind's greatest minds, such as Thomas Edison and Marie Curie, have shown admiration for Tesla's intelligence.

Physical Abilities Godlike Endurance & Stamina: Tesla has displayed inhuman stamina. While his colleagues passed out from exhaustion after helping him develop his Völundr, Tesla did not show any signs of tiredness.[10] During round 8 against Beelzebub, Tesla manage to endure Beelzebub’s Sorath Vau and Sorath Tau technique at close range and survived the Original Sin of the Netherworld - No. 0: Chaos technique, all of which did massive amounts of damage the surrounding area. However, Tesla was only able to survive the Chaos technique due to him sacrificing a Tesla coil to offset the vibration burst. Mechanically Enhanced Physiology: With the help of multiple scientists and Göndul, Tesla was able to create a mechanical armor that greatly enhances his physical abilities. • Godlike Strength: Tesla is portrayed as having enhanced strength, although it is not explicitly stated to be at a godly level like some other characters in the series. He possesses above-average physical power, allowing him to engage in close combat and deliver powerful strikes to his opponents capable of damaging the surrounding area. • Godlike Speed & Reflexes: While Tesla's speed is not a prominent aspect of his abilities in the series, he is shown to possess agility and quick reflexes. He utilizes his agility to dodge and evade attacks, relying more on his intellect and energy-based powers rather than sheer physical speed. Tesla's reflexes are portrayed as sharp and responsive. He can react swiftly to his opponents' movements and attacks, allowing him to employ countermeasures and develop strategies in the heat of battle. • Godlike Durability: Tesla's durability is not explicitly highlighted in the series, but as one of the chosen representatives of humanity, he possesses a level of endurance that allows him to withstand and recover from injuries sustained during battles. His focus primarily lies in utilizing his scientific abilities rather than relying solely on physical resilience. Mental Abilities Genius Intellect: He is the smartest man to have ever existed in Human history. Many of his inventions are taken for granted even in the current day, being alternating-current generators, radio equipment and fluorescent lighting only a few examples.[2] After dying on Earth, Nikola Tesla would continue to innovate and invent, managing to create pigeon automatons and the blueprint for the Super Automaton Beta with the help of his fellow scientists.[11] With the technology of his Völundr, Tesla would be able to invent even further, being capable of creating an Anti-gravity system and even managing to perform the feat of instantaneous movement, also known as teleportation.[12] • Enhanced Memory: Tesla has displayed the ability to remember information inhumanly well. He managed to memorize the theory necessary to create his Völundr without any effort, despite the formula taking up an enormous amount of space in a variety of blackboards in his room.[13] Supernatural Abilities Golden Age: As a soul in the afterlife, Tesla possesses the same appearance and skills that he did when he was at his peak.
