Combined with his mastery of omni-directional maneuvering (ODM) gear, Levi was a near invincible fighter, and potentially even the strongest character in the series prior to Eren obtaining his Founding Titan form. According to him, the moment of awakening gave an Ackerman the mental clarity to know exactly what needed to be done in a situation, with the inhuman strength they now had access to. Levi himself has attested to a similar event occurring in his life, which is the reason behind his own strength. In the series, the most well known instance of an Ackerman first displaying their awakened power, was when Mikasa, as a child, was able to single-handedly kill one of the kidnappers that had taken her hostage. This process, known as an "awakening," gave the individual superhuman physical attributes, as a result of having the combined battle experience of all their Ackerman ancestors transmitted to them through the Paths. Generally, this ability was not available from birth itself and had to be attained through an event that triggered an Ackerman's survival instincts. More importantly, Ackerman clan members were able to manifest aspects of the Power of the Titans while in human form without the need for any transformation. The former was one of the reasons why the clan was persecuted after the 145th Fritz King abandoned the Eldian Empire and retreated to Paradis, as they were among the few who knew the secret of life beyond the Walls. As a result, members of the clan were immune to the Founding Titan's memory manipulation, and could not be turned into Pure Titans.
