power levels
Measures of might
Power levels measure strength or ability, especially in video games, anime, and fantasy contexts where characters have quantifiable combat abilities: His power level is over 9000!
The phrase comes from Dragon Ball Z, where a device literally reads fighters' power.
Now used broadly and often humorously to compare any kind of capability or intensity: The cringe power levels in that video are off the charts.
