So there are a few characters from Five Nights at Freddy's (primarily the main ones from the first game, Mangle, and the toy animatronics) who are rated as 9-C due to being able to "overpower a grown man down with ease." I feel there are several issues with this as...
A. Holding down a regular man is not something that requires strength that borders on superhuman to accomplish and an athletic person would be able to do that as well.
B. There are only two times this event of holding someone down/overpowering occurs. One which it is implied but never shown that you got stuffed into the suit after the jumpscare, so not only is this an assumption that that is what happened but also an assumption on the "with ease part"
C. When Phone Guy was killed which not only was it never shown how he got killed (it could've been anything since nothing shows or even implies he got stuffed in a suit) but also which animatronic killed him is unknown and left to interpretation. So on top of assuming he was held down, it is also assuming which one of the animatronics held him down, assuming they did it with ease and assuming that all the other animatronics scale to whoever did that.
D. On top of this they are also given Class KJ striking strength even though holding someone down isn't necessarily a feat of DC/AP rather physical/lifting strength and doesn't really translate to striking strength, at least not on that level.
It is because of these reasons that I believe that Unknown, Likely 10-A or something along the lines would be a more accurate rating for them.
