Hi y’all, so currently the Ben 10 verse has “possibly Low 5-B” for the main cast (as well as “possibly 5-B” for characters with large enough multipliers), however after mulling it over the past couple months I personally have a couple issues with this.
The Low 5-B feat in question is the Galvanic Mechamorphs remaking Galvan B, which was most recently calced at around 1.82 Zettatons. This feat scales to Original Series characters, who otherwise scale to around 6.21 Exatons. This is an almost 300x difference, which to me seems pretty high without any other supporting feats (especially for a verse as notoriously inconsistent as Ben 10). As much as I love the idea of Ben 10 characters being Low 5-B, I don’t think this is the way to do it.
Now I said “a couple issues”, and that’s because of who actually does this feat. The Galvanic Mechamorphs’ primary ability is to merge with technology to enhance it. Since Galvan B is an artificially modified moon that they merged with in order to remake it, I believe it would make much more sense to apply this as part of their merging ability rather than attributing it to their regular stats. Consequently this gives an actual tier to Upgrade’s merging ability, being “up to Low 5-B” rather than simply “higher”, although since the true limits of his powers were never shown I think his merging ability should still have a “possibly higher” rating.
So yeah that’s about it. Thoughts?
