Earth 712 Hyperion's strange blog section

I know low tier Marvel Heralds are going through a revision, but if things go well this shouldn't really matter.

Anyways, Hyperion is 5-B right now because of the statement during his fight with Gladiator, and most of the other scaling comes from either low heralds or characters with a variable tier like Thor. However, his profile links to a blog that lists scaling among other Marvel characters, and the scans are confusing.

In fairness, most of the scans reinforce his 5-B rating, like fighting Wonder Man, Ms. Marvel, or generally being beneath Thor. But there are two notable scans that contradict this notion. In one, Hyperion's strength is called "mighty" by Thor, who states that him dropping Mjolnir rarely happens in his fights and mentions Mangog in the same statement who is straight up Low 1-C. Additionally, one of the Sentry's Low 1-C justifications is similarly being a rival to but potentially being inferior to Thor. In the other scan (technically two), which is more confusing, Wolverine fails to cut Hyperion with his claws and wonders what Hyperion is made of, despite his claws being rated as Low 1-C.

If these indications were dismissed as outliers, that's fine. I just find it strange that these feats are listed on Hyperion's feat timeline and seem to directly contradict the current scaling. It's not necessary for the wiki to make sure every single outlier is mentioned and explained away on a character's profile, but if the feats are going to be readily accessible to visitors, I think it's not unreasonable to question the current line of scaling. Some clarification would be appreciated.

That blog is a compilation of feats they don't need to be consistent actually the blog itself says it contains anti feats. Multiple of the feats in that blog are ridiculously lower than what Hyperion is scaling to, the author just compile all the feats regardless of how they would scale.
Having 2 possibly low 1C scaling feats is not enough when he is way more consistent with 5-B. That's exactly what we call outlier.

That's all well and good, I just wanted to make sure that's the rationale. Though it would be nice to have a note for that, like Black Bolt does.

Thanks anyway.

Honestly, Hyperion's profile could use some restructuring, some additional scans from the feat timeline blog to justify his tier and all.

Actually, I found one scan on the blog that was interesting. During his fight against Redstone, Hyperion mentions Redstone is strong enough to warrant him using his full strength, which indicates that he doesn't use his full strength against weaker enemies.

I heavily doubt one scan would be enough to warrant this, but maybe Hyperion could get a Varies tier like other heralds? Well, if him holding back is consistently established of course. If so, then at least it's easier to account for some of his higher feats.

I'll request for this to be closed. At some point I'll work on a blog analyzing all of 712 and 616 Hyperion's feats against herald tiers and the like that are listed on the wiki to figure out which end is the most consistent. After that, regardless of which end it is, I'll make a CRT for both of their profiles. If anyone knows about other scans for Hyperion's scaling or potential evidence for/against a "variable" tier for his AP, direct message me if you feel so inclined..
