**Garfield** is the titular and main character of the American comic strip created by Jim Davis.

## Background

As a kitten, Garfield was raised by his mother from within an Italian restaurant, before the owner discovered them and kicked them out. Through a series of events, Garfield became the pet cat of a cartoonist named Jon Arbuckle. Garfield may be cynical and lazy, but at the end of the day he does still care for his adoptive family - he just has a particular way of showing it.

## Stats

**Attack Potency:** **Wall Level** (His sneezes can completely blow away furniture in a room on two occassions.) to **Building Level** (Destroyed Jon's house in an attempt to crush a spider.) | **TBA**

**Speed:** **Supersonic** (States he can run at Mach 2 speeds. In an episode of *Garfield & Friends*, he moved fast enough to create a miniature sonic boom once Jon took lasagna out of the oven.), possibly **Faster Than Light** (From the "Faster than the speed of dark" comic, though this may be an outlier as he's never displayed this speed elsewhere.) | **Faster Than Light** (Can keep up with Abnermal, who dodged his gamma-radiated hairballs, which should have similar properties to actual gamma rays.)

**Durability:** **Wall Level** (Survived a terminal fall from "a really tall tree". Withstood the forces of his own sneezes.) to **Building Level** (Survived Jon's house collapsing on top of him.) | **TBA**

**Hax:** 4th Wall Awareness, Toon Force, Hypnotism

**Intelligence:** **Above Average** (Has often shown he is smarter than Jon, and is skilled in outwitting people to get what he wants.)

**Stamina:** Generally very low due to his laziness. He can't even run the length of a driveway without getting exhausted.

## Powers, Techniques, and Equipment

### Powers

* **Garfield:**
	+ **Claws:** Being a cat, Garfield naturally possesses sharp claws.
	+ **Toon Force:** Garfield is able to alter physics or logistics for the sake of comedy. Because of this, his abilities can be inconsistent as they are commonly used for one-off gags. Garfield's toon force has shown examples of...
		- Body Manipulation (Can squeeze into spaces that are much smaller than himself.)
		- Levitation
		- Weather Manipulation
		- Dream Manipulation
	+ **4th Wall Awareness:** On countless occasions, Garfield has acknowledged that he is a fictional character and directly addressed the readers of his strip.
	+ **Hypnotism**
* **Garzooka:** Garfield's superhero counterpart from an alternate timeline, and the leader of a team of superpowered animals known as the Pet Force.
	+ **Superhuman Physicality**
	+ **Gamma-Radiated Hairballs:** Garzooka can shoot hairballs infused with gamma radiation from his mouth.
