    1. Legion consists of 4 members, with only Frank's age being described (19). Susie has cosmetics that refer to her as a sophmore, but that's about it.
    2. You could apply this to MANY of the Survivors, including some of the originals. Ace, David, their OWN Survivor Jeff, Jonah, and Haddie would all realistically beat any of the Legion in a one on one fight (provided they were disarmed, the knife CONSIDERABLY increases the Legion's threat level).

    Now, for an actual answer. Every Killer has their strength altered by the Entity to FAR beyond superhuman levels. That is the reason someone like the Legion is able to kick pallets apart, bring down professional fighters, kick down walls, pick up and carry around a large and heavyset man like Jeff with one arm, and sling them onto a hook suspended several feet above the ground with the same level of ease as the Oni, an 8+ foot tall massive hulk of pure muscle.

    I could give you a longer explanation but to keep it simple, entity.

    in addition to the Killers having superhuman strength, the Entity won’t allow the Survivors to fight back against the Killers except with the means it provides them - flashlights, pallets, etc.

    I mean, why do you think the Survivors never try to use The Trickster’s knives or The Huntress’ hatchets against those Killers? The answer is that they can’t. You’re in the Entity’s realm and are forced to play by its rules.

    Honestly, Geralt could probably dispatch half of the killers with ease. Survivors are all just hamstrung in the realm.

    I know it's an unsatisfying answer but it's because it's a game.

    Logic sometimes has to take a backseat when consuming fiction. It's known as suspension of disbelief.

    Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveira, Chris Redfield, David King, the legendary skin for Renato, in real life they would just beat the heck out of them

    But yeah, Entity
