If someone's power was stated to be a "magnitude" above others, would that make said characters power at least 2x greater that the people they are referring to?

well, depend, ''magnitude'' is too vagueIf someone's power was stated to be a "magnitude" above others, would that make said characters power at least 2x greater that the people they are referring to?
Ok that makes sense. But considering the character I'm referring is stated to be the only one capable of preforming a specific feat due to being a magnitude greater than others in terms of power, I doubt he's only 0.01 times stronger than the other characters who can't preform the feat, it wouldn't make any sense.“Magnitude” alone just means size or scale. A character saying their power’s a “magnitude above” the opponent is basically synonymous to saying “my power’s on a different scale”.
Orders of magnitude refer to classifications within a system where classifications are bounded by consecutive powers of ten. That’s why being “orders of magnitude” is a 10x gap minimum, because at minimum it could be the gap between the highest value of an order of magnitude and the lowest of the order of magnitude two above (ex: 9.99 and 100). However a single order of magnitude doesn’t have a quantifiable minimum, since it could be lower than the gap from 9.99 to 10.
