Summary
Pride (プライド, Puraido) was the first Homunculus that Father created, and resembles his original form. He masquerades as Selim Bradley (セリム・ブラッドレイ, Serimu Buraddorei), the adoptive son of King Bradley, and is the final one of the seven Homunculi to be revealed.
Powers and Stats
Tier: 10-C. At least High 8-C, possibly 7-C with shadows
Name: Pride, Selim Bradley
Origin: Fullmetal Alchemist
Gender: Male
Age: Over 350 years old
Classification: Most powerful and oldest Homunculus, Adoptive son of King Bradley
Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Homunculus Physiology, Darkness Manipulation (Pride's main method of attacking is the many, incredibly sharp shadows at his control[1]), Sound Manipulation (Can speak through his shadows[2]), Enhanced Senses (Pride can track all of a person's actions as long as they are in any place with shadows[3], without needing to be there), Absorption (Can devour his fellow Homunculi and take their powers[4]) minor Possession (Could possess Alphonse Elric[5])
Enhanced Absorption (Can absorb the knowledge of those he eats[6]), Alchemy (Absorbed the knowledge of Solf J. Kimblee and another alchemist), Enhanced Body Puppetry (Took control of Roy Mustang's body[6], though it consumed much of his energy), Limited Possession (Can move over to others' bodies, taking them over, though they need to be suitable hosts[7]), Resistance to Light Manipulation (Wasn't blinded by Lan Fan's bombs[4], which could blind Gluttony and King Bradley for minutes)
Attack Potency: Below Average Human (Only has the strength of a child[5]), At least Large Building level (Could threaten Van Hohenheim[8]. His power is far superior to that of Gluttony or Greed[4]. The most powerful and dangerous homunculus[5]), possibly Town level (Hohenheim's alchemy could not stop them[8]. Is almost as dangerous as Father[9]) with shadows
Speed: Supersonic (Could threaten Edward Elric and Ling Yao[10] and physically dodge the former's attacks[11])
Lifting Strength: Below Average Human. At least Class 25, likely far higher with shadows (Restrained Greed with some of his smaller shadows[10])
Striking Strength: Below Average Human level
Durability: At least Building level (Tanked Heinkel's attacks for several minutes[10][4]). Town level with shadows (Unfazed by Hohenheim's alchemy[8])
Stamina: Superhuman (As better detailed on the Alchemy page, Homunculi draw their energy from the Philosopher Stone inside them, and will be able to constantly regenerate and fight until it is fully depleted. Pride's Philosopher Stoner is much bigger than any of the other Homunculi, and as such he should be able to last far longer than the rest.)
Range: Standard Melee Range. Normally Kilometers with shadows, up to Hundreds of Kilometers: From Central, the capital of Amestris, located in its center, Pride could attack people in the underground circle that surrounded the entire country[1]. However, he can only project those shadows within the central city of Amestris or its external borders[8].
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Above Average (Was able to deduce that Hawkeye had discovered his identity, and is somewhat of a skilled fighter, at least defensively[11]), Genius level understanding of alchemy after absorbing Kimblee and the Gold-Toothed Doctor's knowledge
Weaknesses: Pride often underestimates his enemies. Cannot project his shadows under complete darkness[10] and they will be temporarily dispelled by bright flashes of light[4]. If killed enough times, Pride will run out of souls to regenerate, causing Pride to turn into another form or turn into dust killing him for good, although this weakness is somewhat circumvented by Pride being able to absorb souls.
