Vehicular Mastery too, since that's from the video game Garfield Kart. Likewise, the part about driving go-karts would have to be removed from the Intelligence section, as well as rapping, since that's from Garfield and Friends (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Vq_KSBASQ). Don't forget to remove and replace categories as needed.HeadlessKramerGeoff777 said:

Do books count? Because in the book "Garfield: His Nine Lives", Garfield displays a legitimate intelligence feat, where he goes up against a galactic war fleet and would have won if his weapons were better.

@Imaginym
Well, composite profiles should preferably be avoided unless absolutely necessary, due to easily making the statistics and powers and abilities sections very exaggerated compared to the regular versions of the characters, but I suppose that this may be a borderline case that is not so harmful. On second thought, I am uncertain in either direction, so input is appreciated.

Since the profile being a composite is completely unneeded, I don't see why we would. As said, Gar has many distinct canons, and having it as a composite accomplishes nothing really besides making the cat vastly stronger and haxier then normally portrayed.

Don't other famous cartoon animals have composite profiles? Why is Garfield suddenly left out?
- 12,637
- 413
Because, 1. He isn't a cartoon. 2. It isn't needed.

I meant comic book, but he's done in a cartoonish way regardless. Ok? So is the other composite profiles made, literally none of them are a necessity.

he shouldn't be able to scale to his other counterparts in intellegence because were talking about the main garfield we follow in the comics not any of his ancestors

They are not his ancestors. They are past incarnations. Also, Garfield has stated that his previous lives have made him who he currently is.

i mean can garfield remember his past lives? one thing i know is he can't remember his time as an astronaut because that's in the future
- 8,304

He can't remember the incident itself, but since everything Garfield is now will make up what he is the next life, he still has the mental capacity to preform the same actions.

I think that we can only scale from his current incarnation.
In any case, Looney Tunes characters have composite profiles because it is impossible to form a coherent canon for them. That is not the case with Garfield.

I mean the current incarnation thing.

Because experiences and skills do not tend to automatically exactly carry over between incarnations within fiction.
In addition, as far as I understand, this was not a part of the regular comic strip.

I still don't understand the decompositing.

"The regulations here are less complicated.
Composite profiles should generally only be given to extremely prominent well-known characters with multiple incarnations, and these should only go by their own highest statistics. That means that external weapons and power-sources, that are not a normal part of their arsenal, should be excluded.
This type should preferably be gauged on a case-by-case basis, and you should first ask the staff if it is acceptable to create one.
It can also be justified if a certain fiction has multiple spinoffs of dubious canonicity, for which quantifiable feats are scarce, such as most Pokémon and Digimon characters. It should preferably be limited to franchises that actually need it for sufficient scaling, if the different versions are too dispersed and incoherent to make a clear picture of individually"
"these should only go by their own highest statistics"
Going by that, I don't think it's wrong for a Composite version of a character to be stronger than the other incarnations.
@Antvasima: You stated that:
"Looney Tunes characters have composite profiles because it is impossible to form a coherent canon for them. That is not the case with Garfield."
I don't agree nor disagree, but, I would like to know how this is true. I'm a bit skeptical.

- Garfield is definitely well-known.
- I'm not sure how exactly "multiple incarnations" is defined, but most incarnations of Garfield are the same character, personality-wise & the supporting cast tends to be similar/identical. Jon, Odie, maybe Liz, Nermal, etc. Without looking in-depth to it, I'd also doubt how many of them portray him with feats outside of the 10-C to 9-B range.
- While I don't doubt that some of them could be so, which Garfield spin-offs ARE of dubious canonicity with scarce quanitifiable feats?
- I'd assume many Garfield portrayals have "dispersed and incoherent" statistics.

@Antvasima: For the sake of establishing a stance, as it is currently, I feel I'm the same, if only because I don't think I understand the basises to decomposite Garfield.
With a better understanding of what's being referred to as to why to decomposite him, I might take a stronger stance, but for now, I'd say I'm neutral, leaning keeping it Composite. (Because I don't understand why to support the opposition, which proposes Decompositing.)

Garfield states that everything he was in his previous lives makes up who he is today. So, going by that, everything Garfield is today will make up who he is as Space Cat in the future, who, as we know, would have beat an entire war fleet if his weapons were better. I'm not saying any physical traits would carry over (apart from being an orange cat in every life), but his mind and spirit would.

I personally don't see any reason the profile should be non-composite. Basically I agree with what Imaginym said.
