This revision focuses mainly on Sylar and Peter. I intend to watch through Heroes Reborn (which has some pretty big feats in it, such as a character stopping a surface-wiping solar flare) as well as the feats found in the graphic and comic books although I have work on other verses I'd rather do, so this is the most I'll do for now.
Tiering Downgrades/Upgrades
This will be long as many of the power listings are inaccurate or outright wrong, and there are many powers demonstrated in the graphic novels and comics missing from the pages.
Tiering Downgrades/Upgrades
- The Nuke feats are relatively close to, but not at 7-B. I calculated the explosion shown in I Am Become Death and it only came out at High 7-C. There's also the one shown in season 1 that moves around some clouds when it goes off, but I'm not entirely sure that would come out at a higher value. So, "Large Town level, possibly much higher" would probably be the best way to go with this.
- Sylar should get "9-A with Heat/Ice Manipulation" seeing as he freezes a man solid, which would take this much energy to do so. I'd also argue that stopping a speeding van with his Telekinesis would probably also be a higher end 9-B feat although I don't think I can calc it.
- Sylar and Peter should at least have 9-B dura. They have both fought, hit, and harmed each other with their regular abilities in the past and Peter has tanked some of Sylar's Telekenesis before. Sylar took a point-blank hit from a fear-empowered Knox and got back up, if more fire is needed for the flame here. Also Peter mimicked Niki Sanders' ability, which has a crapton of 9-B feats which should scale to dura since she's doing it with her bare hands, and he punches Sylar senseless while using said ability, with Sylar only taking superficial wounds.
- I'm iffy on handing out dura scaling to the nuke feat for Peter/Sylar. While it's true that he survives it while being the epicenter of the explosion, I feel like that's more of his power giving him a resistance to heat and radiation than being physically capable to taking attacks that strong. Both of them get harmed by regular characters all the time when that power isn't active. So I advise keeping the dura at 9-B and giving them good radiation/heat resistance.
- "8-C with Electricity Manipulation" makes no sense. Sure, there are some pretty great feats, but none of them relate to realistic lightning nor share its properties. "Unlimited Clean Energy" sounds like a massively powerful statement until your realize that describes more of quantity than quality. I might try calcing the Primatech Research powering feat but 8-C should be discarded for now.
- This is just a fun fact, but Peter has Daphne's ability, which, when amped by Ando, allowed her to acheive FTL speeds and pull a Flash and travel through time. Doesn't apply to Peter obviously, but it's an awesome feat nonetheless. I plan on calcing her speed although I strongly doubt it is Sub-Relativistic unless there is something in Hiro's frozen time to compare her too.
- We should remove the Composite Peter page. No, he is not that noteworthy of a character, and there is no alt canon interpretations of Peter that are officially released from what I'm aware of. So it's just a mishmash of his powers over each season, and I don't really think that deserves a page. It's no more than just his regular page minus the keys. The page also blatantly uses outliers such as Peter surviving his own nuke despite that only being a "possibly" on his actual page.
- We should remove the "Base" key for Sylar. This version character only existed for a fraction of an episode as he immediatly went to finding more powers and would be better merged with his Pre-Shanti key.
- I'm going to refrain from including powers from alternate futures as while there are a couple notable ones, they don't really deserve their own keys.
This will be long as many of the power listings are inaccurate or outright wrong, and there are many powers demonstrated in the graphic novels and comics missing from the pages.
- Sylar should have Gifted or Genius level intellect. He was able to figure out how to extract the part of the brain that has the EVO powers inside of them just by looking a a dead person's brain, as well as how to construct and work with clocks from a few spare glances. His power actually allows him to "see how things work" just by looking at them.
- "Mollecular Combustion" is a very poor word to describe his shattering ability. Deconstruction would be a much better power for it, I advise reading the link if you want more info.
- "Liquifaction" should be Matter Manipulation, as he's making the matter behave on fundamentally different level, if you guys can think of a better word for it I'm all ears.
- "Crysopoiea" should just be Transmutation. Also it can be used on humans, shown here.
- "Disintegration" should similarly be Deconstruction.
- Sylar is missiang Text Manipulation, seen here.
- Sylar should have Power Mimicry in his Post-Shanti key. He learns that he can obtain people's powers without killing them through Empathic Mimicry (Which is actually Peter's regular power). This is demonstrated when he just has a long talk with a person and gains their power.
- Sylar should have Limited Resistance to Mind Manipulation. When Matt Parkman attempted to trap Sylar's mind inside his own brain, Sylar actually flipped the tables and started manipulating him in turn; I assume this was from his Intuitive Aptitude learning how Parkman's powers functioned.
- Shapeshifting should be removed as that was only demonstrated by an alternate future version of Peter and not the main timeline version of him.
- Peter's second key should have Invisibility as that is the last known ability he mimicked before the events of Heroes Reborn. I can also list out the abilities he has mimicked in "Notable Powers" although I doubt people are going to use his second key for battles.
