In the world ofSolo Leveling, Hunters are considered as being on top of the food chain, and their existence changed the world forever. With every nation having their own strong hunters, the strength of a country relies on their hunters.
Of the countries of the world, the United States Of America is considered one of the strongest. This is because they have the highest number of S-class hunters and are constantly poaching talent from around the world to bolster their ranks. With Korea’s Sung Jinwoo being the focus of the story, the American hunters aren’t given as much attention in the webtoon. However, the USA has some of the strongest hunters in the world and twonational level hunters.
Rank
NA
Norma Selner will probably not count in many people’s books as a hunter as her abilities, while formidable, are not usually useful in combat. The elderly lady is a big reason for the strength of the United States and their hunters due to her unique ability. In the world ofSolo Leveling,Norma is an upgrader. This is someone who is able to enhance a hunter’s ability.
This is incredible as inSolo Leveling, the rank a hunter falls into when they awaken, is the rank they stay in for the rest of their careers and lives. The only exception seemed to be Jinwoo, who was able to level up and grow stronger to the point of being untouchable. Norma’s ability was also what was able to position America as the choice destination for some of the strongest hunters and this made the Federal Bureau of Hunters in USA, a powerful organization.
A-Class
Randolph is an A-class hunter from the Scavengers Guild, the strongest in the United States under the leadership of the charismatic Thomas Andre. He made his debut in theSolo Leveling: Ragnarokweb comic where he was up against Suho, the son of Jinwoo and Cha Hae-in.
He had incredible strength and speed making him capable of fighting some of the biggest monsters and the fact that he was chosen to lead a Scavenger team is already proof of his strength. He has similar philosophies to Andre and is on the hunt for power. In the Pyramid arc, he really got to shine a little before eventually falling at the hands of Ammut.
S-Class
Hwang Dongsoo was originally Korean, but was one of the hunters that was lured to America with the promise of fame, fortune and a chance to have his abilities enhanced but Normal Selner. He wasfeared in all of Koreaand it allowed his older, weaker brother, Hwang Dongsuk, to carry on as he pleased with the threat of his younger brother hanging on anyone who would mess with him.
Hwang Dongsoo was clearly shown to be powerful in the Solo Leveling webcomic and he set his sights on Jinwoo who he wanted revenge on for killing his older brother. Dongsoo is also shown to have a bit of a stubborn streak, as evidenced by his refusal to listen to Thomas Andre’s warning to not mess with Jinwoo, and his defiance in the face of overwhelming strength when faced with Jinwoo in battle.
Christopher Reed was considered the third most powerful hunter in the world and was a national-level hunter. He was a beneficiary of Norma’s upgrading power and was a great asset to the Federal Bureau of Hunters. He, unfortunately, found himself upagainst three monarchsafter they invaded his home and trapped him in a dimensional gap.
Reed showed his strength by taking on the monarchs in the hopes that he could at least take down one of them, but it was not to be as he was completely overwhelmed and was killed with his mutilated corpse left to be found at his mansion. While his power was talked about quite a lot over the course of the series and he was even offended at the idea that there was anyone who could kill him, not as much is known about what else he could do. He did return in Ragnarok, but suffered death at the hands of Thomas Andre.
Thomas Andreis considered the strongest hunter in the world, apart from Jinwoo of course. He is the leader of the Scavengers Guild, the strongest guild in America, and a national-level hero. His greatest claim to fame was his battle with the dragon, Kamish, who he was able to defeat and take its fang. Thomas’ strength is evident by how others treat him, like when Dongsoo, who normally listens to no one, is willing to bend the knee to Andre.
Strong as Andre is, he was still no match for Jinwoo. The pair would clash when the latter was hellbent on killing Dongsoo and Andre tried to intervene. While the fight was spectacular, it was also pretty one-sided, as Andre too a beating from Jinwoo and had to concede defeat.
