1: Where does the information come from? is it gathered from everyone in the area before being displayed, or does his semblance just KNOW what to display.

2:this power would be fine on its own, but you are attaching it to several other independant powers. The semblance just displays it. As for calculations on what entities have what ATK, I envision it's determined via a formula that accounts for the entity's strength, powers (inclusive of semblance), physical resilience, etc. Theoretically, this means that if a person has a certain ATK, at one point in time, and they go and work out and train hard and improve their skills, next time around, that value would logically be higher. Conversely, if they slack, neglect to exercise and are lazy, they get weaker and the value will drop to reflect it.
