In the brief period it took the Titans to respond to Ivy Town, Giganta, in her giant bear form, has already triggered a mass casualty event, inflicting irreparable damage to the city. Determined to prevent further loss of life, Nightwing issues directives, including one tasking Swamp Thing with reinforcing buildings on the verge of collapse. This particular order would be insurmountable for any hero except Levi. Harnessing the power of The Green, Swamp Thing fortifies dozens of skyscrapers with plant life, preventing their collapse. This unparalleled feat of strength underscores his exceptional and unique skill set, showcasing the invaluable contributions he brings to the Titans.

Levi’s unique abilities prove indispensable in a crisis like this, surpassing the capabilities of even Superman. While the Man of Steel might have been able to support one building temporarily, maintaining its stability after stepping away would have posed a challenge. Creative solutions, such as using his ice breath to reinforce the structures, could have been time-consuming and carried the risk of making foundations more brittle. Levi’s seamless execution in reinforcing multiple skyscrapers demonstrates that no other hero could have accomplished this feat as efficiently and effectively as him. It also speaks towards his immense strength to be able to hold up multiple skyscrapers on his own.
