=== Epic Abilities ===
 
; Heat Manipulation:
; Heat Manipulation: Obliteration is capable of absorbing the heat out of any object he touches, including humans. There is no known upper limit to how much energy he can store, however storing an excessive amount of heat makes it difficult for him to teleport and retain the stored heat. He can absorb heat at an astonishing rate, causing a tree to frost over and wither in a mere eyeblink. At any time, he can unleash the absorbed heat or dissipate it harmlessly. There is no known limit as to how much concentrated energy he can unleash in a single burst, as he is capable of unleashing a heat wave massive enough to melt the entirety of Houston at once. Furthermore, storing an excessive amount of heat makes him shine brightly,{{book ref|r2|36}} and produce copious amounts of heat, to the point where mere skin contact can cause severe burns. Obliteration has enough control over his powers to not melt objects he wants to keep intact, such as his sword and clothes. ▼

There is no known limit as to how much concentrated energy he can unleash in a single burst, as he is capable of unleashing a heat wave massive enough to melt the entirety of Houston at once. These blasts do not seem to produce any radiation.{{book ref|Calamity|12}} Furthermore, storing an excessive amount of heat makes him shine brightly,{{book ref|r2|36}} and produce copious amounts of heat, to the point where mere skin contact can cause severe burns. Obliteration has enough control over his powers to not melt objects he wants to keep intact, such as his sword and clothes.
; Teleportation: Obliteration can teleport, automatically taking inanimate objects and people he touches with him. His teleportation gets described as his body bursting outwards in a flash of light, similar to a ceramic figure bursting into ceramic shards. He can only teleport to places he can visualize (either from seeing the locations in person or viewing a sufficiently detailed photo). According to David's notes, Obliteration is unable to reappear (and is thus invulnerable but also unable to do anything) for several minutes after teleporting, however during [[Firefight]] he no longer seems to have this limitation.▼
 
; Teleportation:
; Danger Sense: (tied to his teleportation) Should something happen that would hurt Obliteration he automatically teleports away. The danger sense works reactively, meaning that it triggers after action has been taken, for example the trigger of a gun has been pulled, and only then when the action would actually hurt Obliteration.▼

; Super Strength: Obliteration is strong enough to easily lift [[David]] up with one hand. This power was not in David's notes.{{book ref|Firefight|13}}▼
 
; Danger Sense:
It is unclear if the discrepancies between his observed powers and David's notes are simply because of faulty information or because [[Regalia]] and/or [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]] enhanced his powers.▼

Obliteration is also able to recognize David and Megan, even though they are disguised. He claims he can recognize them by their eyes, but David thinks he has another power.{{book ref|Calamity|27}}
 
=== Weakness ===
It is unknown what Obliteration's weakness is. However, he overcame his weakness five years after Calamity rose.{{book ref|Calamity|epilogue}} Obliteration is near sightednearsighted, but not nearly bad enough for it to be considered a true weakness.{{book ref|Firefight|49}}
 
== History ==
 
=== EventsBefore before10 SteelheartA.C. ===
 
Obliteration ruled in Houston for some time before deciding to destroy the entire city. Obliteration had sat in the middle of a city square{{book ref|Firefight|24}} of Houston, storing up heat from the sun. After a few weeks, Obliteration released all the power, melting the entire city, killing tens of thousands in moments.{{book ref|Firefight|12}}
 
Obliteration had also destroyed Albuquerque and San Diego in the same way.{{book ref|Firefight|26}} However, these weren't as destructive as Houston, because people realized what Obliteration was doing, and ran away before Obliteration had finished.{{citebook ref|Calamity|12}}
 
=== FirefightBabylon Restored ===
 
====Regalia's Offer====
Obliteration is summoned to Babilar by Regalia, who offers to let Obliteration destroy Babilar.{{book ref|Firefight|14}} In exchange for serving her, Regalia not only makes Obliteration's powers stronger, but she also gives him motivator-powered bombs, detonated by remote control, that matched his own destructive abilities.{{book ref|Firefight|25}}{{book ref|Firefight|36}} They also have the advantages of being easily concealable, creatable, and transportable. Regalia also secretly makes a teleportation device from Obliteration's power.{{book ref|Calamity|34}}▼

Regalia also secretly makes a teleportation device from Obliteration's power.{{book ref|Calamity|34}}
Obliteration fights the Reckoners from time to time in Babilar. He almost succeeds in drowning David by attaching a ball and chain to his leg and dropping him into the water.{{book ref|Firefight|13}} Later, David finds that Obliteration is also working with Newton. Obliteration knows Newton's weakness, and keeps her in check.{{book ref|Firefight|21}}▼

Obliteration knowsknew Newton's weakness, and keepskept her in check.{{book ref|Firefight|21}}
Obliteration starts to store up sunlight in Babilar on a rooftop.{{book ref|Firefight|29}} During the next few days, Prof decides he would stop Obliteration from destroying city by encasing him in a forcefield.{{book ref|Firefight|39}} However, on the day of their attack, Mizzy discovers that Obliteration is gone from his spot on the rooftop. Val spots a glowing coming from Regalia's old base, Building C.{{book ref|Firefight|47}} The Reckoners rush to stop Obliteration, but the glowing coming from Building C is not Obliteration,{{book ref|Firefight|48}} but instead is the bomb that Regalia made from Obliteration.{{book ref|Firefight|49}} Obliteration fights David during this time, to prevent him from reaching Prof.{{book ref|Firefight|48}} However, when David revealed the secret of how the weaknesses relate to the fears of Epics, Obliteration thanked him and left.{{book ref|Firefight|49}} Obliteration's bomb explodes, forcing Prof to use his powers and save the city.{{book ref|Firefight|49}} However, this causes Prof to turn evil.{{book ref|Firefight|50}}

====Destroying Kansas City====
When David travels to the alternate reality that Firefight resides in, he notes that Obliteration is there, fighting the Reckoners.{{book ref|Calamity|33}} He has the same goals in this alternate reality as in the "real" world, even though there is no Calamity in the sky.{{book ref|Calamity|33}}{{book ref|Calamity|49}}▼
 
Obliteration used one more of the bombs that Regalia gave him to destroy Kansas City. He used the bomb instead of collecting heat himself because it is stealthier, and more people would be destroyed in the process.{{book ref|Calamity|12}}
Obliteration shows up when the Reckoners are fighting Prof, and reveals that Regalia had actually given him two (including the one used in Babilar).{{book ref|Calamity|44}}{{book ref|Calamity|47}} The second is supposed to be used for Ildithia.{{book ref|Calamity|47}} He is about to kill David along with the rest of Ildithia, when David reveals that he is going to kill Calamity, by teleporting up there. Obliteration claims that if David can defeat Prof, he will aid David in teleporting up to Calamity.{{book ref|Calamity|44}} After [[Larcener]] absorbs Prof's powers, Obliteration fulfills his promise and teleports David up to Calamity, using a picture of Calamity as a reference of where to teleport.{{book ref|Calamity|46}} Obliteration also gives David his last bomb to destroy Calamity.{{book ref|Calamity|47}}▼
 
=== Ildithia ===
Prof teleports up to Calamity as well, using the teleporter Regalia had formed from Obliteration. However, Calamity destroys this teleporter, preventing them from leaving. Megan visits Firefight's reality, and forces that Obliteration to take her to Calamity. Megan claims that the Obliteration in that reality is just as much of a slontze as the one in the "real" world. However, instead of vanishing with a flash (as the Obliteration in the "real" world does whenever he teleports), this one simply fades.{{book ref|Calamity|49}} ▼
 
====Party at Sharp Tower====
After David defeats Calamity, Obliteration appears and thanks David. He then announces his next target is Toronto, and challenges David to stop him, giving him a week to recover. David is surprised, assuming that Obliteration would turn good after the death of Calamity. However, Megan reveals that now that Calamity is gone, Obliteration is free to act how he chooses, just as a normal human would.{{book ref|Calamity|epilogue}}▼
 
Obliteration showed up at Prof's party in [[Sharp Tower]], because Prof has a "calling card."{{book ref|Calamity|27}} This calling card was a motivator based off of Obliteration's powers. Both David and Obliteration assumed it was a bomb.{{book ref|Calamity|27}} However, it was actually a teleporter.{{book ref|Calamity|34}} Obliteration sat on a salt throne, and rested his hand on the hilt of his sword like a scepter.{{book ref|Calamity|26}} Even though David and [[Megan Tarash|Megan]] were both in disguises, Obliteration recognized them anyways, claiming they had the same eyes, and that David had the same hunger in them. However, David did not buy this explanation, and instead assumed Obliteration has an extra power.{{book ref|Calamity|27}} Obliteration teleported away and returns with a coconut of all things, continuing to recline on his throne as if nothing had happened. Even though David and Megan changed disguises, Obliteration still spotted them.{{book ref|Calamity|27}}

*Obliteration is based off of an author, likely Jim Butcher.{{wob ref|3070}}
*Brandon had Obliteration melt Houston because Brandon likes the city of Houston. Brandon enjoys destroying his favorite cities.{{wob ref|4639}}
