TTGL Pre-Timeskip Simon (Render)
My bro is dead. He's gone! But he's right there on my back, and here in my heart! He lives on as a part of me! If you're gonna dig, dig to the heavens. No matter what's in my way, I won't stop! Once I've dug through, it means that I've won! Just who the hell do you think I am? I'm Simon. I'm not my Bro! I'm me! Simon the Digger!
~ Simon to Guame after combining with Gurren

Don't fuck with me! Whether it be time, space or the multiverse, I don't give a shit. Follow the path you've decided to take, the way you've decided to take it! That's us; that's the Team Dai-Gurren way!
~ Simon responding to Antispiral's shock

EoS Simon
Of course you can. The lights in the sky are stars. The stars where our Spiral cousins await us.
~ Simon to a little boy

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.

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)

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. Greatly opposes resurrecting the dead
