A recent thread about Post-Crisis Superman lead to the idea that a discussion be opened up on adding a "Boom Tube amp" Key section to that character's page. I then started looking at other DC characters and think that in general, it may be useful to add this section to other DC characters as well.
My reasoning is that Boom Tube amps can be applied to many different characters and the logic applies consistently across them all. Additionally this will help people quickly contextualize feats that a character has performed that seem to be far beyond their typical power display.
For example, boom tube amped Post-Crisis Doomsday in Hunter/Prey kicking the s*** out of True Form Darkseid (link to Dan Jurgens directly stating it was not an avatar: https://twitter.com/Chakkusama/status/1113199429434081280).
This feat is around Tier 2-A given how powerful True Form Darkseid has been shown to be. Now this is completely beyond what Doomsday will accomplish, and I think it can confuse some people. Adding this amp section keeps it consistent with other character amps and provides clarity.
Similarly there are several examples of Post-Crisis Superman performing Tier 2 feats while under a Boom Tube amp. For that page it is particularly odd that there is no amp section given that the other three major continuity variations (Golden Age, Pre-Crisis and Post-Flashpoint all have at least one).
I'm interested in reading your thoughts on this.
