What would be a characters inherit attack potency by activating an ability that allows them to become as dense as a white dwarf star?

Was wondering what their striking strength would be. I know it won't be close to destroying a star. Also do you happen to know what their weight would be and if so what would be their lifting strength if the character in question can support the weight?Nothing, really at best having the density of a star means he would be (if he was a human) a 1,80 star which is very durable but nowhere close to the power to destroy earth much less a star.
But what exacly are you expecting? The only things that come from having the density of a star is weight and gravity.
Don't even ask; I wouldn't know either.Why wouldn’t it be applicable?
Thanks. Do you happen to know what their weight would be and if so what would be their lifting strength if the character can support the weight?This normally wouldn't be applicable to profiles by our standards, but I'll answer this the best I can anyway.
Well, sources both educational and governmental vary on how dense a white dwarf star is. NASA says a white dwarf's density is 10^9 kg/m³: https://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/objects/dwarfs2.html
Ohio State University puts the density of a white dwarf anywhere from 10^5 to 10^8 g/cm³ (10^8 to 10^11 kg/m³): https://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/johnson.3064/Ast162/lectures/notesWL22.html
And this document from the Lulea University of Technology puts the upper limit of the density of a white dwarf star at 10^7 g/cm³ (10^10 kg/m³)
Assuming a density of roughly 1000 kg/m³ and a weight of 62 kg for a human, we'd have a volume of 0.062 m³ for a human.
Using the range covered by Ohio State University gives us a range to work with as white dwarf star density is basically speculative. Going off this, we have a mass of 6200000 to 6200000000 kg.
An amateur boxer is believed to punch with a force of 2500 newtons: https://boxingscience.co.uk/science-behind-punch/
The weight of an average person, by comparison, would be 608.0123 newtons. This should give a rough approximation for the punching force of around 4.112x a person's weight.
Based on these figures, a person as dense as a white dwarf star should have a punching force of 2.5*10^8 to 2.5*10^11 newtons.
Punches are typically measured over a distance of a foot, as we would learn from how Rocky Marciano's punch is measured (pound-feet). Going off this, here's how much energy is put into a punch of someone like this.:
2.5*10^8*.3048=76200000 joules
2.5*10^11*.3048=7.62*10^10 joules
That's 7.62*10^7 to 7.62*10^10 joules, or 0.0182122371 to 18.21223709 tons of TNT. That's a range from Small Building level to City Block level.
