The amount of Spiral Energy produced by an individual may vary and is based not only on its own limitations, but also its immediate will to survive and persevere. Spiral Energy has both infinite potential and applications
Simon has the ability to use spiral power since humans are spiral beings. Simon has a large amount of spiral energy and Lord Genome stated he has even more than him. He had no control of his spiral energy at first but after Kamina's death he gained more control and went to a level where he could pilot massive ganmen. His spiral power is infinite, making him the most powerful being in the entire Gurren Lagann multiverse. He usually channels spiral energy into his core-drill but towards the end he learned to unleash it alone. He can fire massive beams of spiral energy from his core drill and can create drills for various purposes the latter requiring a gunman.
