Summary
Saitama (サイタマ ) is a human from Z-City who; through rigorous (sort of) training broke through his human limiters and achieved unbelievable strength and abilities. Never breaking a sweat, the name One Punch Man is fitting for the effortless wins Saitama has achieved through the series. Never going beyond a simple brawl, his sheer strength, speed, and sower have effortlessly mowed down anyone in his way.
A parody character essentially; Saitama is a play on generic, flamboyant battle manga protagonists, who struggle greatly to achieve victory against overly evil characters. He breaks the trend through his lethargic and typically emotionless personality, combined with massively overwhelming strength. Due to his effortless wins through the series, we have yet to see his true, full capabilities; getting slightly more "serious" as the series progresses, he casually puts down any new enemy on his radar.

After surpassing his limits, he one-shot Light Pull Cord), up to at least Mountain level (Has saved the world many times, defeating countless mutants, terrorist organizations, and creatures which might include threats on the same scale as the Monster Association Cadres), possibly at least Multi-Continent level+ (Tatsumaki's telekinesis was completely ineffective against him, with she and Fubuki stating that Saitama surpassed her powers, and Fubuki comparing him to an Above Dragon-level threat[Statistics Values 2]) | Multi-Solar System level[Statistics Values 3], possibly Galaxy level (Performed Serious Punch2 alongside Awakened Garou, generating an explosion that caused countless stars to instantly disappear, leaving behind a massive void in space, with the damage even potentially extending out for intergalactic distances, given that galaxies can be seen clearly depicted on other panels of the cosmos. Drew blood from Awakened Garou[2] while holding back and only using a single hand to fight, to the point that Garou believed him to be limitlessly strong relative to himself[7][2][Statistics Values 4]) | At least Multi-Solar System level, possibly Galaxy level, likely higher (Has become many times stronger than before after growing exponentially in power while fighting with Awakened Garou. Continued to grow even stronger, to the point that even his sneeze carried enough force behind to blow away Jupiter's surface down to its rocky core. Surpassed Garou and then defeated him, vastly outpacing Garou's own exponential growth and power mimicry in the process[Note 2][1])
Speed: Superhuman (Can outpace Crabrante) | Subsonic (Early into his training, he became fast enough to save a child from being ran over at the last second), up to possibly Relativistic+ (Nearing the peak of his training, he allegedly managed to outrace his own reflection in a mirror, although the legitimacy of this feat is yet unconfirmed) | FTL+ (Blitzed Awakened Garou to the point of creating a constellation around Io with his speed before he could even react.[2] Went so fast he appeared to be in multiple places at the same time from Garou's perspective, leaving behind countless afterimages.[2] Used only one hand to fight against Garou) | At least FTL+ (Much faster than before)

Exponentially grew to the point that Garou's strikes, even after he had gone through his own exponential growth, could do nothing to him[1])
Stamina: Superhuman (Endured the pain of multiple hits from Crabrante) | Superhuman (Able to survive through intense amounts of pain through his intense training regime, to the point Saitama stated that his training regime nearly killed him. Removing one's limiter requires experiencing death several times) | Superhuman (Fought extensively against Awakened Garou on the surface of Io without showing any signs of fatigue, only continuing to grow stronger as time went on as a result of his emotions)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range with Tie | Standard Melee Range, Unknown with Shockwaves | Standard Melee Range, Interstellar, possibly Intergalactic with Shockwaves (Destroyed countless stars in one direction, with the damage potentially extending out for intergalactic distances, given that galaxies are clearly depicted on other panels)
Standard Equipment: Tie (Used this to beat Crablante) | Tracksuit | Hero Costume
Intelligence: At least Average (Saitama seems to be single-minded at times, chasing a mosquito relentlessly even after sustaining a blast that destroyed his clothing completely. Additionally, he is lacking academically, only barely passing the hero exam due to his poor score on the written exam. However, Saitama seems to have some experience in fighting techniques and is an excellent brawler in combat, pressuring his opponents relentlessly if he goes more serious. He displays great control over his speed and strength, stopping his fist within a hair's breadth of Genos' face to avoid hurting him and generally holding back in fights to prolong them. Saitama has been shown to be a good judge of character, being able to tell people's real motives, such as those of Garou and Fubuki quite quickly. While serious, Saitama has proven himself to be an ingenious fighter. During his fight with Garou, he masterfully copied multiple of his techniques and performed them with expertise that not even those such as Bang and Bomb could replicate. Garou even further stated that he has the potential to master the power of god without being given it, and master them even further; he mastered time travel instantly in a parallel timeline when Garou could not)
Weaknesses: He doesn't take anything seriously initially and tends to hold back to possibly prolong a fight. When casual, Saitama makes use of flawed, basic attacks rather than using his ingenious combat skill, which can lead to him being outmaneuvered initially.

Notes:
- Refrain from trying to scale anyone from Saitama's attacks, as he is the verse's god-tier and the results of his strikes can be inconsistent, even with his "Serious Attacks".
- When making a match with Saitama, please note whether or not you are using his current or parallel timeline self, as this will decide whether or not he has access to his Time Traveling capabilities.
- It is unlikely for Saitama to use Time Travel unless he is bloodlusted.
