Standing in the Arena
The SRverse used to be a pretty weak verse overall until Saints Row IV, which gave it a major boost of power. As of now, it's a pretty strong verse, with things such as FTL travel and planetbusting. While the superpowers only take place during the simulation, there exists power armor, which gives the user all powers they would normally have in the simulation to use in the real world.
