==Summary==
Simon (シモン, Shimon?) (pronounced like "Simone") is the central protagonist of the anime and manga series, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. He begins the story as a short, unassuming and lonely young boy, but grows up into a commanding and well-loved man. Hailed for being like a drill, he became known as a legendary hero who overcame impossible odds both personal and universal and now stands eternally as a beacon for the good of all man and spiral kind. 
At the end of the series, he had developed so much Spiral Energy in his body during his fight with Antispiral that he had become likened to a God, a title he resented. He chose to use this newfound potential to assist the people of Earth and the galaxy at large come together in peace and harmony, leading into the Golden Age of humanity.

Created a drill, which could match Granzeboma’s drill) | High Complex Multiverse level (Surprised Antispiral by matching his full power. Fought equally with, and eventually killed Antispiral on foot. Has become significantly more powerful, after he left the universe in Simon’s hands)

Far superior to his previous self after gaining numerous increases in power, and mastering the use of Spiral Power on his own)

Durability: Wall level (Could take a full-force punch from Kamina); At most Large Town level in Lagann (Took a kick from Viral's gunman; Enki) | Wall level, likely Multi-Continent level (Took direct punches from Lordgenome, but whether this is an outlier or because of spiral power is unknown); At least Multi-Continent level in Lagann (Took attacks from Lordgenome who is superior to Lazengann) | Wall level; At least Multi-Continent level in Lagann | High Complex Multiverse level (Integrated the Multiverse to his own body), higher in Tengen Toppa Lagann (Was able to withstand the force of the Infinity Big Bang Storm; an attack that was compared to the Big Bang, and was at a greater level of Antispiral's capability than any of its previous attacks) | High Complex Multiverse level (Took blows from Antispiral in a fist fight, and survived the destruction of Antispiral's universe; a complex manifold universe oscillating between the 10 and 11 dimensional membranes, corresponding to a 10 + 1 dimensional reality, and implied to be infinite in size)
Stamina: Superhuman (Has enough energy to dig through holes day after day, and is somewhat capable of fighting on an empty stomach) | Superhuman (Fought Lordgenome and used a large amount of Spiral Power within the fight, and even when heavily injured continued to fight) | Superhuman (Overcame the draining of spiral energy from the Death Spiral Machine via increasing his power, the entire time in the ultra-dense space. Has absorbed the matter of the ultra-dense space, which was being converted into Spiral Energy), likely Limitless (Stated that his power is limitless as long as he doesn't give in) | Infinite (Capable of powering Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which was implied to have infinite Spiral Power flowing throughout the body) | Infinite (Gained a massive increase in Spiral Power, and is far superior compared to his previous self)

Intelligence: Genius in Creating Plans (Can come up with strategies in the heat of battle. Made a plan to sneak up on Viral, and managed to damage his gunman; a plan created and executed before Viral could fire Enki's laser. Thought of how to make Dai-Gunzan fall in a hole, just from looking at the ground once. Came up with a plan to get past the Mugann, and sneak attack the upper-class Mugann), Gifted in Leadership Skills and Piloting (Stated by Kittan to have become a first-rate commander, and has only been so for a short period of time), Above Average in Combat (Was skilled enough to fight hand-to-hand with Viral; a trained soldier), Average Otherwise | Genius, likely Nigh-Omniscient (Surpassed Antispiral via his own evolution)
Weaknesses: Gets scared, which causes him to be unable to fight and think straight (this weakness present through episodes 1-3). Can let anger get in the way of thinking and using spiral power (this weakness is present through episodes 9 and 10). He cannot utilize spiral power without the will to live. Is concerned about others well being | Same as before | Same as before. His hot-blooded nature can make him careless, and rush in to battle | Same as before, except his hot-blooded nature making him careless, and rushing into battle | Same as before.
