In order of importance

1. The recently added 3-C and 2-C stats (mostly shown as "3-C normally, 2-C at peak") are completely nonsensical in application as explained here and here, they will be replaced with "3-C, possibly 2-C". Needless to say (unless you forgot how this much of how the wiki works), that makes it 1 state for others to scale to rather than 2, meaning that profiles like Odin being 3-C alone at his weakest will be "3-C, possibly 2-C" and Galactus also being 2-C alone at his weakest will be "3-C, possibly 2-C". Again, needless to say, the stats pretty much say "We confidently say that the character is at 3-C, but, while less consistent & genuine, they may be at 2-C instead", it's not two separate things they can switch from. This was an immense mistake.

This seem to be all the changed profiles.

2. The "5-B when holding back" stat Heralds got removed gets readded. Though we should see in which profiles it got removed first and how they were before, maybe less prominent characters really shouldn't have it.

Nebula gets this back

Iron Man Armor Model 65 gets this back in its durability, w/o the "at least"

Iron Man Armor Model 16 gets this back

Midnight Sun gets to be solid 5-B

Jane gets this back, surviving getting one-shotted hit by Vision can also be added in her 5-B durability with the context of it

3. The Infinite LS should be removed, the same Handbooks claims all Heralds to be able to lift around 100 tons, it contradicts their own information that someone whom Heralds scale to would be able to lift infinite weights. Not to mention how "infinitely massive weights" can be hyperbolic.

In Hercules' notes this should be added:
  • Hercules lifted the Heavens<ref>Incredible Hercules Vol 1 121</ref>, which a Handbook exemplifies along "infinitely massive weights". This isn't used as a feat of Infinite Lifting Strength for two main reasons: It could easily be a [[hyperbole]] or go as in ever-growing. While the feat's not contradicted by what little information of it is shown in the comics where Atlas & the Heavens are shown, they say nothing of what "the Heavens" is, how much does it weight, how does the world withstand that weight on top of it, or how could it do so before Atlas lifted the Heavens; The Handbook simply applied to it its own additional information, and it actually contradicts its own narrative of character at Hercules' level being able to lift around 100 tons. This is a clear discontinuity between the Handbook's direct portrayal of the characters' Lifting Strength and the indirect portrayal of their Lifting Strength through [[powerscaling]].

4. Dr. Doom

Changes based on this and this.

5. Hyperion

The profile could use a Note saying all the angles in which his feat of "surviving 2 universes being destroyed" is wrong, as I explained here & here

6. Thor stuff

-- 6.1 Hulk vs Thor

I was going to make a blog pointing out in which of their fights Thor held-back & Hulk wasn't at full anger, in which fights they were at their peak, and in which it was rather unclear. All based on this. This can be linked in both of their profiles for scaling purposes and publicly edited to be updated.

Edit: Here it is, it has as much as we were showing before and more can be added over time (which isn't a priority, as you can see)

-- 6.2 Held-back Thor vs 5-B people

Thor's profile and other profiles can be better updated and sourced on therir fights based on this. Thor's profile would look something like this.

-- 6.3 From Thor's profile: "It is hinted that he shook the universe as a side effect of the launch of Mjolnir."

There are so many issues with this feat. It's immensely poetic. The heavens shudder, not the universe; it's not definite what that even is in this context. It makes no sense for the heavens to shudder via Galactus being hit in space. Even if this even happened, just because something may be shook it doesn't mean that all of it shakes, and in this case it's said that the heavens seem to shudder, which is pretty inapplicable. The feat should be removed.

-- 6.4 From Thor's profile: "Contained the Life-Bomb, which could destroy one-fifth of the universe"

Here's my version of it after actually reading the comic: "Durability: Galaxy level, possibly Low Multiverse level at peak, Multi-Galaxy level vortex Creation (By spinning his hammer, he can manipulate time & space to create an indestructible mystical vortex durable enough to contain the Life-Bomb, which destroys one-fifth of the universe when detonated. Thor himself died from this while inside said vortex and needed to be revived[9]."

Meaning that even if he's only 3-C at peak, he's still able to create this thing with 3-B durability (if he's 2-C then this is kinda useless). Idk if "vortex Creation" is the right name for this tho.

7. Loki and Cyclops

Loki could use a small blog listing feats and anti-feats. Edit: See here

Cyclops can be updated with his feats, see here.

8. The Wrecker

Could use a profile, here is info to make one.

Edit: We will link to this blog on any profile that has scaling to the Wrecking Crew.

9. Godzilla

Very wanked. Thor doesn't compare his strength to the Midgard Serpent, but his fury. This is the same scan as one we use to say he holds back as he says how he's unwilling to slay him. Immediately after this the Human Tourch survives an attack from Godzilla. Godzilla "matched" Thor as they both pushed the same building into the other, before the building got destroyed.

Rage Power is just regular rage, it shouldn't be a power.

12. The Destroyer

The armor varies in power and an average soul powering it is actually 5-B, like when it beat up Wrecker and a depowered Thor with Sif's soul.

13. Registration

All the rejected feats from the other thread could use notes or blogs to keep in hand the reasoning as to why they're wrong. The way things work is that wrong comicbook feats are brought up over and over again, and that's annoying unless they're already accounted for.

I can propose them first and then apply them.

14. Monica Rambeau

In every comic she's in it's always portrayed that she isn't "lightspeed"/FTL (as we have calc'd) always, but only when she flies and that she's otherwise slower. Her speed should be:

"Massively Hypersonic+ Combat & Reaction Speed (Comparable to Captain America<ref>The Avengers (1963) issue 228<>ref>, a held-back Hercules, Namor<ref>The Avengers (1963) issue 262, The Avengers (1963) issue 265</ref>, and other Avengers), up to Speed of Light Flight Speed (Repeatedly established to be able to fly at the speed of light in her energy form) with FTL Reactions while transformed (Changed her form from light to subatomic particles while flying at lightspeed. See Note below)"

Note: Monica can be tagged while in her light form by foes that she can quickly fly circles around as they have trouble keeping up with her, both cases that can happen in a single fight. Her peak speed somehow seems to be less useful in combat, hence she doesn't attack while flying circles around foes, and she mostly uses it to just mobilize around in combat before using lesser speeds, outpace enemies trying to escape, and travel long distances."

15. Drax

He's not a Herald at all.

Was designed to kill Thanos

The closest he has, but he always fails or gets slapped away


Managed to keep up with an escaping Silver Surfer

This is a held-back Surfer who knows Drax's not evil and tries to have him stop annoying.

Here's an alternative at 5-B and Massively Hypersonic+:

/

Edit 1: I will add anti-feats too. I think Drax should have 3 keys; The scrawny one, the super buff one that's super stupid, and modern Drax. The last one is already covered, showings below show why they're not alike.

/

Edit 2: This ended up having more evidence on its favor, see here how the profile would look like.

That's only for the Scrawny Drax.

This can be added in the part of his profile that doubts his feat of killing Thanos. see here how the profile would look like.

16. High Evolutionary

A tabber should be made for Base powers and With prep time

Size Manipulation is with prep time for example.

Reasoning for his Enhanced Senses: "(Given time, he could detect an invisible Sue Storm near him using sensors built into his armor<ref>Fantastic Four (1961)/Vol 1 issue 174</ref>)

", up to Star level with Preparation time (By engraving a terminal reaction in the nuclear heart of a star, he can blow it up whole. Can blow up the Earth. Can create a duplication of Earth)" should be changed into:

"Varias (They depend on their purpose. By engraving a terminal reaction in the nuclear heart of a star, he can blow it up whole, which he tried to use to kill Ultron. Can blow up the Earth. Can create a duplication of Earth), up to Galaxy level, possibly Low Multiverse level with Preparation time (Mutated himself to grow at a gigantic size off-panel, fighting evenly against a hungry Galactus, aiming to kill him and being unsure of whom would die in the battle<ref>Fantastic Four (1961)/Vol 1 issues 174 & 175</ref><ref>Galactus praises the High Evolutionary for his power due being having grown in size so quickly, which must not be misinterpreted. It took time for him to do so, letting Galactus invade his world at first, and Sue Storm points that (base) High Evolutionary's "power can't possibly be a match for Galactus", to which he said that he would then die.</ref>)

17. Cosmic Cube

"and Magus used five to defeat Eternity and keep him catatonic"

Should be removed, it's stated here, here and here that his power is finite rather than infinite, and he did what happened to Eternity via trapping his core in mystic bands, which Galactus one-shots to free Eternity.

I don't like removing stuff, so I'm making a small blog adding that feat and the one where Thanos turns into the universe with all the power of a Cosmic Cube.

18. Galactus

", and Galactus is capable of regenerating from complete physical annihilation"

This should be removed. You may think that is Galactus' eye, but it's his ship. His massive ship got destroyed and Galactus uses his power to rebuilt it, they even say he survived that, his body and everyone inside his ship wasn't destroyed.

19. Adam Warlock

Classic Adam is very much not a Herald.

Defeated Olik, a troll stronger than Ulik

No links. Turns out he used a Karmic Blast, which is hax. His speed has nothing. Let's look at feats and anti-feats in chronological order:
So I propose this: vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User:Eficiente/SandboxA#Adam_Warlock

20. Mephisto

His powers should be divided between what he can do outside of Hell of what he can in Hell:

In Hell:
Outside of Hell

Evidence that he's less powerful outside Hell/Hades

Hell/Hades is part of his soul: (Hell is a facet of Mephisto's black soul<ref>Silver Surfer/Warlock: Resurrection issue 3</ref> / an aspect of his spirit<ref>Silver Surfer/Warlock: Resurrection issue 4</ref>.

To his Varies durability: (Being able to control his own power and durability, he's repeatedly proven to be affected by lesser foes when unprepared, even in Hell)

Like this: vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User:Eficiente/SandboxA#Mephisto_(Marvel_Comics)

On his Feats


We don't see how that affected him.

21. See here other changes on Eternity, Sue, Super-Skrull, Mar-Vell, and Magus.

Wouldn't Godzilla still be 2-C (Or "3-C, possibly 2-C" now?) since Hercules had to put in an extreme effort to overpower a simple stomp from him?
 
Just a note that we should never use the ridiculous and deliberately misleading "class 100" Marvel handbook claims. Even Spider-Man has performed lifting strength feats that are hundreds of times higher than that.
 
Most of these look alright, though I still never liked a random "High-6-C/5-B via holding back" as holding back can literally be any type of inbetweener. Thor could hold himself back all the way down to like Wall level if he wishes and even characters like Spider-Man or Captain America could harm a "Heldback Thor" on some occasions which I don't want scenes like that to be taken as a reason for scaling. It's fine for Hulk since he legit gets weaker to the level of Thing when he's not angered, but Thor and Silver Surfer are more characters who mastered the ability to hold back with style. Some of those other 5-B characters look fine for other reasons such as scaling from casual Hulk or other characters in the 5-B scaling chain. Or if a specific word of mouth from Thor consider them on the level of other 5-B's.

Also, I brought up on other threads about speed also sharing some things with AP in which Thor only ever really makes use of his Massively FTL+ combat speed when fighting stronger opponents and also usually lowers it down to Spider-Man level combat speed to fight weaker foes who are 5-B atm. And as such, I believe it was agreed characters such as Iron Man would receive combat speed downgrades for any model less than 3-C and would either find other feats or scale from more casual versions of Hulk and/or Thor.

But I do think the rest looks good.

Thor pointed out that he was unwilling to slay Godzilly while still knowing they couldn't stop him, the Heralds were likely holding back. That was just the first page, Hercules then does something unfitting to what you just saw (Tosses Godzilla flying back). And our rules already put clear that you can even nearly kill a Herald w/o them going all out.
Just a note that we should never use the ridiculous and deliberately misleading "class 100" Marvel handbook claims. Even Spider-Man has performed lifting strength feats that are hundreds of times higher than that.
I know, we also just straight up don't use the handbooks. This is no different than if any Herald or character they scale to was stated to lift 300 tons somewhere in a handbook; we wouldn't hypothetically use that too for partially the same reasons. Or if they stated once that a Spider-Man level character was able to lift more than how we have them while keeping everything else the same.

Well, I went over this here; Counting down all the times he holds back, he mostly does so to be at that level while there are very, very few times where he goes even lower.

And that's w/o counting minor characters like for example Godzilla, who matched Thor and attacked the 5-B Human Tourch in a way he survived. There will be a ton of characters who would end up at 5-B via scaling, whereas Thor going up against Spider-Man or Captain America level characters are cases one can count with their fingers.

Also I'm ready to replace Cap's ". Far higher with Shield Bash/Throw (His shield has, on occasion, damaged/dented Iron Man's armors, and decapitated a non-Adamantium version of Ultron)" with

", possibly 5-B with Shield Bash/Throw (Only proven against foes on this level rather than the environment or foes at his own physical level, which is nonsensical, yet somewhat consistently portrayed as his means to attack more powerful enemies. Dented Iron Man's armors, and decapitated a non-Adamantium version of Ultron. Attacked an amped Loki with a shield throw<ref>Thor (1998)/Vol 2 issue 73 - Although Cap. America was later shown fighting evenly against a tired Thor in the same comic, physically & w/ his shield</ref>. Apparently used a shield slash to rip part of a "Juggernaut", beings a held-back Thor was having trouble defeating<ref>Death of Doctor Strange: Avengers Vol 1 1</ref>. Smashed the center of his shield into a drunk Enchantress to one-shot her<ref>Secret Wars (1985) issue 8</ref>, when she normally can survive a blow from She-Hulk)" any time.

The closest he has, but he always fails or gets slapped away

Here's an alternative at 5-B and Massively Hypersonic+
  1. Agreed without objections.
  2. I'm on the fence about re-adding 5-B. Both sides seem to be making well-reasoned arguments, so I'll sit this discussion out.
  3. Agreed. I polished up a more comprehensive writeup based on Ant's comment and some of my original analysis:
    • We don't consider Hercules's feat of lifting the Heavens, which a handbook describes as some of the "infinitely massive weights" Atlas can support, as a feat of Infinite Lifting Strength for three main reasons:
      • This feat could easily be hyperbole or refer to ever-growing Heavens. While the feat doesn't contradict what we know about Atlas & the Heavens, they say nothing of what "the Heavens" is, how much it weighs, how the world withstands that weight on top of it, or how it could before Atlas lifted the Heavens.
      • We consider Marvel handbooks unusable due to blatant discontinuities between their direct portrayal of characters' stats and the indirect portrayal of their stats through powerscaling. For example, these handbooks also claim that characters at Hercules' level can only lift around 100 tons, directly contradicting their feats. Moreover, the sentence describing the Heavens as "infinitely massive" calls Atlas "immeasurably strong" in the same breath. If Atlas had Immeasurable Lifting Strength by our standards, lifting infinite weights would be trivial for him, which isn't remotely the case.
      • Hercules previously deemed lifting Godzilla's foot to prevent him from doing a natural stomp - not intended to be an attack - to be the "most ungainly" strength-based labor he's ever done, which would logically include this labor. Godzilla doesn't apply infinite weight into the world every time he walks. However, this reason is somewhat dubious, as the comics may have retconned the strength required for this labor.
  4. Agreed without objections regarding the first link. The second leads to an outdated blog about Thor, so please explain.
  5. Agreed. Here's my writeup:
    • Hyperion surviving the collision and destruction of two universes during an Incursion is not a 2-C feat. In Marvel, Incursions teleport two Earths near each other and teleport everything else in the two universes next to their equivalents to collide only if the two Earths collide. Due to teleportation, the collision doesn't touch the higher-dimensional space between the universes. While Incursions damage more than matter due to leaving a white void, being where the Environmental Destruction started doesn't mean you endure its full force. Also, we consider this feat an outlier, as Hyperion and other Heralds have otherwise consistently died from Incursions.
  6. As with #2, waiting on further discussion.
  7. As with #2, waiting on further discussion.
  8. As with #2, waiting on further discussion.
  9. Agreed. How do you propose we revise Godzilla?
  10. Where is this?
  11. Where is this?
  12. As with #2, waiting on further discussion.
  13. As with #2, waiting on further discussion.
  14. Agreed without objections.
  15. As with #2, waiting on further discussion.
 
Also don't think Hercules eventually tossing Godzilla away really counters Godzilla's scaling
There’s a difference between “oh they kinda made Thor struggle a little bit” to Hercules admitting that Godzilla’s stomp was greater than any labor he had done before, with the narration mentioning twice that his muscles were straining from the effort.

On top of that, he was trying to prevent Godzilla from crushing Angel, where there would be literally no reason for him to hold back and struggle if he could just casually throw him off. For your interpretation to work, you would have to assume that Hercules, instead of instantly throwing Godzilla off and saving his friend, actively made the decision to hold back and struggle.
 
I don't think you can be at full power and holding back at the same time, they're like opposites of each other
Well, it's not binary, Thor holding back is pretty much a state he's in, in which he can get harmed, blizted, runs the risk of dying, makes hard effort and so on w/o stopping to hold back. Thor may be using the full power of the amount he uses when holding back, before stopping to hold back in the far future and saying something like he forgot what his true power was really like..............or moving a building like that w/o instantly annihilating it was portrayed as Thor's peak, one may choose.

There’s a difference between “oh they kinda made Thor struggle a little bit” to Hercules admitting that Godzilla’s stomp was greater than any labor he had done before

We don't know what those labors were, and roughly going by the Myth that one should have been the most demanding.

with the narration mentioning twice that his muscles were straining from the effort.

On top of that, he was trying to prevent Godzilla from crushing Angel, where there would be literally no reason for him to hold back and struggle if he could just casually throw him off. For your interpretation to work, you would have to assume that Hercules, instead of instantly throwing Godzilla off and saving his friend, actively made the decision to hold back and struggle.

That doesn't mean much, he can even die w/o stopping to hold back as it happened to him twice against the Wrecker & his gang, the second time Thor letting himself get almost killed by them to convince Hercules to act, and only at the last time he stopped holding back and stomped them all. This comic itself proves that to be bs as he flips Godzilla flying back, which takes much more force than stopping a simple stomp, which is what he needed to save Angel. He in fact acted in a way that's nonsensical as he should have just limited himself to stop the stomp in place and nothing more until Angel was safe, not try to do something in which he could have failed at & led to his friend dying, which is doing this "impossible", "stressful" task.

I 100% agree with removing infinite LS.
This is not consistent at all with Heralds to have infinite strength.

-- 6.1 Hulk vs Thor

I was going to make a blog pointing out in which of their fights Thor held-back & Hulk wasn't at full anger, in which fights they were at their peak, and in which it was rather unclear. All based on this. This can be linked in both of their profiles for scaling purposes and publicly edited to be updated.

-- 6.2 Held-back Thor vs 5-B people

Thor's profile and other profiles can be better updated and sourced on therir fights based on this. Thor's profile would look something like this.

-- 6.3 From Thor's profile: "It is hinted that he shook the universe as a side effect of the launch of Mjolnir."

There are so many issues with this feat. It's immensely poetic. The heavens shudder, not the universe; it's not definite what that even is in this context. It makes no sense for the heavens to shudder via Galactus being hit in space. Even if this even happened, just because something may be shook it doesn't mean that all of it shakes, and in this case it's said that the heavens seem to shudder, which is pretty inapplicable. The feat should be removed.

-- 6.4 From Thor's profile: "Contained the Life-Bomb, which could destroy one-fifth of the universe"

Here's my version of it after actually reading the comic: "Durability: Galaxy level, possibly Low Multiverse level at peak, Multi-Galaxy level vortex Creation (By spinning his hammer, he can manipulate time & space to create an indestructible mystical vortex durable enough to contain the Life-Bomb, which destroys one-fifth of the universe when detonated. Thor himself died from this while inside said vortex and needed to be
Why does that vortex need to be in his durability stat? That's just hax.

I’m going to keep this brief because, to be completely honest, I don’t particularly care about this thread, nor do I care to get into a multi-page long back and forth with Efi.
2. The "5-B when holding back" stat Heralds got removed gets readded. Though we should see in which profiles it got removed first and how they were before, maybe less prominent characters really shouldn't have it.
Still disagree with this. Thor, Surfer, Hercules and Beta Ray Bill don’t instantly go to 5-B when holding back, they can hold back to any degree they want (and Efi acknowledged this in the last thread), so giving them a solid 5-B rating and assuming they’re literally always at 5-B any time they hold back is disingenuous.
Nebula gets this back

Iron Man Armor Model 65 gets this back in its durability, w/o the "at least"

Iron Man Armor Model 16 gets this back

Midnight Sun gets to be solid 5-B

Jane gets this back, surviving getting one-shotted hit by Vision can also be added in her 5-B durability with the context of it
I disagree with this even more than the holding back stats to begin with. Again, these characters don’t just snap to 5-B as soon as they pull their punches, we shouldn’t be handing out free 5-B ratings just because someone fights Surfer when he’s holding back. If the characters have other 5-B feats or scaling on top of fighting the holding back characters, then sure, give them the rating. But if all they do is punch Thor while he’s not going all-out, then no.
Loki could use a small blog listing feats and anti-feats.
I don’t know why you’re so determined to put anti-feats on profiles, but no. The purpose of the profile is to show what the characters can do. Unless they’re downscaling, or you’re listing a weakness, there’s no reason to list what they can’t do, especially if the anti-feats are below their tier.
You could just make it yourself…
9. Godzilla

Very wanked. Thor doesn't compare his strength to the Midgard Serpent, but his fury. This is the same scan as one we use to say he holds back as he says how he's unwilling to slay him. Immediately after this the Human Tourch survives an attack from Godzilla. Godzilla "matched" Thor as they both pushed the same building into the other, before the building got destroyed.
I’m so tired of this lizard. The narration says that Thor is matching his full power against Godzilla (and this “he can be holding back and still use his full power” stuff is not only oxymoronic, it’s making assumptions unsupported by the text) and that Hercules’ muscles were straining to hold back Godzilla’s stomp. It scales to full power Thor and Hercules.
12. The Destroyer

The armor varies in power and an average soul powering it is actually 5-B, like when it beat up Wrecker and a depowered Thor with Sif's soul.
Scans and references??? If you’re gonna make a CRT, you need to actually provide proof to support the claims you make in the OP.

Anything I didn’t address, I don’t care about, do what you want with those. Please don’t ping me for this thread again.

The durability feat belongs to it, which is to be mentioned in the durability of Thor's profile. It is hax in the form of making something that durable, even being said to be "indestructible". It's not like it can take on anything anyway, its durability is on the level as the feat it shows to have.

My only problem with this is that for most (if not all Characters) on this wiki we don't have a durability stats for hax, weapons or anything like that.
 
They do tho, if their stats aren't the same as their regular stats then the same I did happens; ", [Stat of the hax, weapons or anything] via [Name of the hax, weapons or anything]". If a hax in particular isn't attacking or taking in damage via AP or durability but something else, then it's not AP or durability, which is not the case for this vortex that can take on a super bomb.

If that's the case, that that's fine with me.

Then you are aware of the rest of my reasons and still disagree with them. The abysmal percentage of time they holding back are 5-B next to the fewer, countable times they're lower somehow doesn't matter.

To state again what you quoted, "on profiles" in this case means in a blog outside the profile, linked in the profile. If you don't think this is harmless and isn't in fact super useful then I invite to elaborate deeply about it in the future, because I easily find it to be super useful and would fill many profiles with it if I had infinite time.

Yes, anti-feats matter a lot, just as much as feats. Characters aren't just what they can clearly do and appear to do, they are also what they can't do, that's the complete view on them. Sometimes what they can do is an outlier, which is based on anti-feats. Sometimes what they appear to do was just misleading or misinterpreted, with anti-feats being a big part of what makes us conclude that. Any conclusion is based on taking in all the facts, otherwise it's conjecture, and to dismiss the relevance of facts that do matter is bias. With a healthy amount of humility to it, we can't say which facts don't matter. And this are comicbook characters that have been around since the 60s.

I might early next year, but if someone else feels like doing the profile then that would be great.

That will have everything by the time something's done on that profile.
I thought this would be mentioned somewhere
We went over this the other thread, it has no reason to be Odin at his best and he was going easy on Thanos.
 
Well, let's not go off 1 detail like that in their battle, many more make Thanos end up far lower than Odin.
  • Odin leads with a blast that did nothing to Thanos while being able to badly harm him, meaning that he was holding back with the first blast, not necessarily going all out in the rest of the fight.
  • Thanos and SS try to blast Odin at once and they do nothing. There is no reason to say Thanos was holding back, which...
  • All of Thanos' attacks do nothing, they just move Odin a bit. Next to the point above, it can mean that Odin is just letting that happen.
  • What makes Thanos "an adversary worth saluting" really is how he survived Odin's attacks so far.
  • Mid-battle Odin attacks with rocks, which Thanos questions, showing Odin is still trying out Thanos.
  • By the end Odin asks Thanos if he gives up and waits for whatever he decides to do next, which may show he's still holding back and/or that he's having fun with the battle.
  • Odin states his superiority over Thanos all over the battle, making the praise more likely to not simply go as in "We're even in power". It more likely means something more in line with his skills or how fun it is to fight him.
    • Thanos denies Odin's superiority all over the battle, but we know he's wrong and that that comes from arrogance, whereas Odin says facts.
 
Two things:
  1. Thor's range could use some revising. It's currently listed as "Extended melee range. At least multiple planetary diameters with attacks" despite him having 3-C to 2-C level feats that reach that far.
  2. Marvel Comics - Thor creates universal storm assumes the diameter of Marvel's universe is 1 trillion light years, but a recent thread established 1 trillion light years to be its radius. The calc should get redone, as well as every other accepted calc that used 1 trillion LY as the diameter.
