MCU: Power Stone Upgrade

[RoTt35]

In this scene the Power Stone was unfazed by a direct hit from the Hadron Enforcer, which is accepted at Moon level, therefore its durability should be upgraded to 5-C, I don't know if its forceshields could scale from its own dura. I also think that his unknown dura for the Orb should be removed since it is unnecessary

Agreed

Following and agreed

I don't know if it's a supporting feat but the power stone can also survive being in the epicentre of its destruction like was caused by this guy.

 

[The_one_you_least_expect]

agreed

 

[NaturalDestroyer]

Does Ronan scale to the Power Stone if he was infused with its energy?

 

[RoTt35]

Does Ronan scale to the Power Stone if he was infused with its energy?

Ronan already has 5-C dura

 

[NaturalDestroyer]

Sorry, I've been gone for a while. Is there a reason his AP didn't scale to his dura or the Power Stone was only 5-C while he was holding it?

If I remember correctly what was accepted is that the Power Stone grants 5-C durability when it is activated, i.e. glowing

Bump

 

[RanaProGamer]

"I used the stones to destroy the stones". Would that mean at least one of the stones was strong enough to destroy the power stone?

 

[RoTt35]

Bump

 

[Reiner04]

Seems straightforward agree.

Trying to upscale wanda maximoff to 5-C , i see

Every single one of the 6-B MCU characters should be 5-C

Really?

Not again please

This is the time that you use your admin powers and tag some lazy thread moderators here.

Now that I look at it, yeah, I don't see that much of an issue here.

Though, wouldn't that mean Thanos amped with the Stone/Gauntlets is also 5-C in durability at least, if not in AP? And wouldn't that make Stormbreaker and Awakened Thor also scale in tandem for being able to damage Thanos?

 

[Marvel_Champion_07]

The Stones aren't a passive amp. The only time Thanos was amped was when the Power Stone was in his skin and he one-shot Carol

What was accepted is that the Power Stone only grants 5-C durability when it is activated or glowing, so it isn't a passive amp. It would only apply when Thanos used it to one-shot Captain Marvel

Ah. Okay then.

 

[RanaProGamer]

Wait, didn’t Ronin have 5-C durability despite the Power Stone being planted in his hammer?

 

[Marvel_Champion_07]

Ronan was explicitly amped by the Stone

 

[RoTt35]

The Power Stone was glowing, so it was activated, when Ronan was hit by the Hadron Enforcer

 

[Dalesean027]

Agreed this is fine

 

[The_one_you_least_expect]

Shouldn’t it’s dura also get like a possible 5-a rating since Ronan was just gonna destroy the planet straight up and was confident he would survive

Supporting justification, sure. But doesn't make it 5-A

 

[The_one_you_least_expect]

I know that’s why I’m saying just putting a “possibility” rating on it or something

No one gonna mention Thanos survived a 5-C power source?

Because Thanos was amped by the Power Stone for those seconds he held it with his hand

 

[ArkhamDC06]

It has been stated some sufficiently strong individuals can hold the Power Stone with their bare hands for at least some time. Star-Lord could hold the Stone for more than seconds by himself before sharing the burden with the Guardians and he was still alive and relatively well (the Stone was only barely starting to destroy his flesh and he could endure it at the moment) and he's definitely MUCH weaker than Thanos. Same for Ronan who could hold it long enough to put it into his hammer and like Quill, he's weaker than Thanos

I literally have a whole paragraph I could type up along with multiple pics to prove why in Thanos's case it was different but I don't wanna derail the thread so I will leave it at this.
The telltale signs of power stone overload (Burning flesh, energy glowing from there entire body, them threatening to explode, etc) does not appear in the case when Thanos holds it. Yes energy flows through him in purple lines, but they never leave his arm and perforate his entire body

 

[ArkhamDC06]

Yeah so? Thanos is much stronger so he can take more but that doesn't mean he can take the whole stuff. Because he's stronger, the process would have been slower but he would have still been affected.
