As tough or invincible as a given cape might be, most were still hemmed in by the restrictions and boundaries of physics.

Arguable, but go on.

Getting hit by something that weighed nearly nine tons sent men, women, boys and girls in costume flying, if it didn’t kill them outright.

Oof.

Leviathan’s echo added surprising quantities of water to the battlefield.  Every step and movement he made, he filled the space he’d just left with water.

I don’t find it all that surprising. There are three main factors to how much water he leaves behind: how he moves, how fast he moves, and how big he is. As a huge and quick being, he’s gonna leave behind a lot of the stuff.

How much water did it take to displace something as big as he was?  However much it was, he created something like three times that amount when he took a single step forward, when you accounted for the space his body moved through.

And given how quickly he can take steps forward…

A hard amount to eyeball, because it had the same momentum his movements had, and some of it crossed great distances as he lunged and clawed his way through the front line of capes.

This is kind of odd, though. If he creates water behind his movement and it moves as quickly as he does or faster in the same direction, won’t a lot of the water just hit him in the back? That said, I get how claws can get out of the way by swinging, leaving the water to act like he’s throwing it.
