Avengers: Endgame Revision (with major spoilers)

Again, the power depends of strength and/or size of the target and user.
For a human wielding it, it just deliver enough energy to destroy his body, nothing beyond that.
That is the reason for why Mark 50 doesn't have 5-A dura, even though he tanked 2 direct shots of said stone.

But that statement was only about when it's against a target, not the user. When a normal being tries to hold the stone, they pretty much get instantly destroyed, while people with special physiology like Quill or raw physical power like Thanos and Ronan can tank it, even if briefly.

You're just repeating yourself. Thanos took some visible damage from holding the Power-Stone and Ronan could survive holding it, Zark also pointed more supporting feats for this too so it's not without context.
Edit - To make it more clear: I'm not saying the stone is High 6-B, only that to survive the energy that surges when the user holds the stone seems to require either High 6-B durability, a device that can contain said energy like the Infinity Gauntlet or Ronan's hammer or special physiology like Celestial physiology.
And before someone brings this again, this also doesn't mean Ronan is in the same league as Thanos, only on a similar enough tier that he would be able to reasonably survive holding the stone for the amount of time he did. Take Bleeding Edge / MK 85 Tony, Fat Thor and Doctor Strange, they are within the same tier, but are clearly outclassed severely by Thanos physically, but they showcase enough power to restrain him for a good amount of time, block some of his physical blows, keep up with him in a fight, and in the case of B.E Tony, even draw some blood from Thanos.

High 6-B Ronin seems fine since he is a God to Kree

Read my edit, and no my argument wasn't debunked in Infinity War, again, the statement about the variability is when the stone is used against a target, not about when the user tries to hold the stone, proof to this is that different people clear take different amounts of damage from holding the stone. We see that the cultists that tried to harness the Power Stone, when the collector was explaining it in GoTG, were pretty much instantly incapacitated and destroyed, while Ronan could hold for many seconds without suffering major damage, but still be in considerable pain and stressed, while Thanos could use it while just suffering some damage in the hand holding the stone, see how it's consistent with the fact that Normies (get instantly incapacitated and destroyed) <<<<< Ronan (can hold it but with considerable pain through his body) < Thanos (only visible damage around the area touching the stone).Newendigo said:

If he gets a High 6-B rating it would only be for durability as he doesn't have a AP feat (barring another CM movie with him) to justify rating him that high. I would also mention Quill and the GotG surviving but since they mentioned his Celestial ancestry I guess he could've been subject to the bulk of the energy while everyone else got run off power.
- 2,667

It's specifically stated in both GoTG 1 and 2 that Quill survived because of his part-celestial physiology. Him being only High 6-B in durability is fine I guess, but I don't see him not scaling at least partially to his Attack Potency, and we see with Captain Marvel that Kree have the potential to reach High 6-B Attack Potency and Ronan is likely within the same tier of power to her since they're both god-tier Kree.

Yes, it was debunked a long time ago.
No, the user and interactions are the same because is about being in contact with the energy.
You don't need High 6-B dura to survive it, just get off its energy from you before its surges enough to bypass. Both Thanos and Ronan hold it for small while, they would into cinders if the time were more longer.

Marvel has Kree blood, but she's also warped and changed by the FTL engine. Scaling a mutant of a half-breed to the upper tiers of and entire race with no justification is a bad idea in my view.

Yeh sure pal, whatever you believe, I see that no matter how much I responded to the same thing you'll repeat the same argument. And that last part doesn't matter in the slightest.
I guess, the problem is that there is no inconsistency with scaling his Attack Potency to his durability and we know he is far above the High 7-C's, but no by how much, that's why I proposed Possibly High 6-B, not solid High 6-B. But as I said, scaling only his durability is fine.
Edit: I finished re-watching GoTG.
The scene where Gamora explains the Power Stone she says this: "The Power Stone reacts to anything organic, the bigger the target, the bigger the power surge". And there are several things to add here: 1 - She's talking about specifically the target of the Power Stone, not the user, which is further supported by the fact that in context, she is trying to explain how dangerous Ronan with the stone is 2- She talks specifically about size of the target, not durability of the user. There is literally nothing more to argue about this point other than pure stubborn denying.

Possibly or just High 6-B is fine (in my view) as long as the reasoning is clear that he's scaling to Thanos rather than just the Power Stone in a vacuum.

Would look something like this:
Attack Potency: At least Large Town level, possibly Large Country level (One of the strongest of the Krees, and was even worshipped by fellow Kree. Should be superior to Kree Reapers and the likes of Vin-Tak. Stomped Drax with ease, stomped all The Guardians of The Galaxy at the same time without using the Orb at his full power. Should scale to his durability, but has not displayed feats for that).
Durability: Large Country level (Survived holding the Power Stone for a considerable amount of time, albeit with great pain, thus, his durability shouldn't be leagues far from Thanos, who took some minor damage from holding the stone. Took hits from Drax with ease. Survived the destruction of the Dark Aster (3 miles long) which Groot barely survived with shields).
Does anybody have any more objections about this?

Drop the condecendecy dude, that is just asking for trouble, you are the one that have been repeating the same flawed argument that had been disscused a year ago.
And no inconsistency? What about the hammer that got blown by a High 7-C weapon?
The stone doesn't have an specified target, is anything that comes in direct contact with it, that is the reason for why it can kill is own user.

Why is surviving holding the power stone grounds for scaling to Thanos? Thanos didn't even hold on to it longer than that one servant girl before he had to put it back in the he gauntlet. Ronan was practically killing himself with it before he put it in his hammer.
The only people who can use it without issue are the Celestials, one of whom is a literal living planet.

I disagree with High 6-B Ronan too
- 15,637

I also disagree with High 7-C base Ronan.
Where does he ever scale to other High 7-C chracters? Simply because he's strong among the Kree doens't mean he scales to specific feats or "should" scale to specific feat.
Stomping Tier 9s certainly isn't support for it.

Looking at the actual scene, Ronin legit can't hold the stone without a conduit. It's clearly killing him the same way it did the Collector's servant. Heck, he only holds it for a little more time.
Also Ronin was soloing the Guardians while empowered by the stone so I fail to see how that's even on his base AP.

Drax is now 8-C rather than 9-A for reference. Still doesn't support Tier 7 Ronan though.

Ronan is High 7-C since he is one of the strongest Kree and should be superior to a regular Kree reaper.

Could you source him being "one of the strongest Kree" and "superior to a Kree reaper"?Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:

I get that, but I'd personally like a link for confirmation. I'll try finding it in the Gaurdians script.
Alright, could you link the script/scene where that happened?

Cap's shield and multiple profiles need to be created
- 2,667
- 1,218
Cap's shield and vibranium objects in general are extremely inconsistent. I'm fine with either staying as it's or giving High 6-B for end-game Cap's shield since Tony had plenty of time for upgrading it in the 5 year time-skip. The real discussion is: How powerful is America's Ass?
- 15,436
- 7,857
Captain America not obliterating Thanos instantly by ramming him with his ass is clearly Plot Induced Stupidity.
- 20,549
- 17,464
I say either chalk the shield up to being inconsistent or say that Tonry upgraded it after Homecoming.
- 1,421

I think the shield should be kept the same. How exactly was it upgraded? Anything that proves it's superior to anything from Wakanda?

Can we give Soul Stone Resurrection Negation? Since BW couldn't be revived because of the rules of gaining Soul Stone. And if Infinity Gauntlet and in turn Thanos scales.

It seems more like that's just the way the universe works rather than something the Soul Stone is actively doing.
