3/C 3-A AP Black Bolt

[Ayewale]

The Feat​

Versus Thanos Black Bolt is able to make Thanos bleed and staggers him (can't use Thanos's armor breaking for scaling since it's clearly destroyed in the last panel). This is the same Thanos who has no-sold attacks from Odin (at least 3-C), is unaffected by two attacks from Thor (at least 3-C) and is unaffected by a 'full-force' attack from the Silver Surfer (3-A). Thanos being damaged whatsoever puts him above all of this.

The much more explicit feat is versus World War Hulk. Black Bolt straight up blows him away without using his full power. Hulk does win the fight offpanel but we can reasonably assume it wasn't easy--hulk was not holding back at all in the first panel. Also worth noting is that this is a Hulk who was extremely mad at Black Bolt, so this feat is at least 3-C and at most 3-A.

The Conlusion​

Black Bolt's voice either gets upgraded to being "up to 3-C with his voice" or, if you're being more generous, "up to 3-C, potentially 3-A, with his voice".

The same Thanos iirc punched Hulk and Hulk smiled | Infinity #6

Hulk was holding back throughout the World War Hulk Arc despite that he was oneshotting every Heroes.

I can go with possible 3-C

What do you think about this?

 

[LordTracer]

I’m gonna assume you mean High 3-A and not 3-A, since none of these characters have a 3-A stat.

Black Bolt straight up blows him away without using his full power.

Knocking someone away doesn’t warrant scaling to them unless the person being knocked away is explicitly harmed.

but we can reasonably assume it wasn't easy--hulk was not holding back at all in the first panel

We can’t assume either of these things, actually. Can you prove that it wasn’t an easy fight, or that Hulk wasn’t holding back?

Versus Thanos Black Bolt is able to make Thanos bleed and staggers him (can't use Thanos's armor breaking for scaling since it's clearly destroyed in the last panel).

For future reference, don’t just take scans off Reddit, because you’re missing context that actually makes this feat more impressive for Black Bolt.

Thanos’ armor is broken because of Black Bolt (Infinity #4), and BB actually made Thanos bleed with his first scream (Infinity #3 and #4).

Oh, and btw, when you make a Marvel CRT, you need to source every scan you bring with the comic that they come from.

It already stated that Hulk was holding back in World War Hulk | The Incredible Hulks #634

would possible 3-C be okay?

[Marvel_Champion_07]

Neutral about Thanos scaling, but I agree with LordTracer regarding BB knocking away Hulk

 

[Zeinx1]

i agree with 3c

 

[ProfectusInfinity]

I don't think 3-A should be listed as a peak FRA, "At least 3-C, potentially/possibly higher" probably works best.

What do the rest of you think about this?

I agree with it

Took me a while to decide but I also

 

[LordTracer]

I think “At least 3-C, likely higher” works. BB can clearly harm Thanos, who is straight up High 3-A, but he doesn’t do all that much damage, so scaling him directly to Thanos is questionable, but scaling him above people who couldn’t do any damage to Thanos is fine.

Tracer and Profectus' comments make sense to me.

Sounds about right.

 

[Antvasima]

It seems like this has been accepted to be applied then.

 

[ProfectusInfinity]

I applied the changes, so this can be closed.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will do so.

Thank you to everybody who helped out here.
