On the subject of lifting strength...

Something I noticed.

"Class 10: 5000 to 10^4 kg (The mass of an adult elephant)

Class 25: 10^4 to 2.5x10^4 kg (The mass of Big Ben's bell, a truck, a large motorboat)

Class 50: 2.5x10^4 to 9x10^4 kg (The mass of a semi-trailer truck)

Class 100: 10^4 to 10^5 kg (The mass of a tank)

Class K: 10^5 to 10^6 kg (The mass of the largest animal: blue whale, the heaviest of air-crafts)"

Both Class 25 and Class 100, going by our current table, begin at 10^4 kg. This doesn't particularly make sense to me in the slightest, and seems to in general put things into disarray. Can anyone help here?

Class 100 is 100 tons or 10^5 kg so it's probably a minor mistake , i will correct it

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

Also the description needs to be fixed ,but i have to go now so i will just highlight this thread and wait for another admin to deal with that

I think that these were the tiers that the OBD used (based on the Marvel handbooks' category names) back when Polar-kun first wrote the chart.

The names obviously do not particularly make sense, but we cannot change the tier definitions without a major wiki-wide revision project for all the profiles that follow it, so until we get the time, energy, organisation, and proper information to do so, we should not change anything.

If anybody knows what the border limits are for the OBD's current chart, feel free to inform us about it here however. It could be useful for the future.

It is as follows:

[Antvasima]

Thank you. If I don't misremember, it seems to follow the same borders, so there should not be a problem, I think.

 

[ThePerpetual]

Aye, it would appear that only Class 50 and Class 100 differ.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will fix it.

Kkapoios does bring up a good point, though. Class 100 traditionally is used to describe people (like very strong superheroes, if I recall correctly), who can lift 100 or more tons (or about 9.072x10^4 kg.) Would it be better if we simply removed Class K entirely, and had Class 100 replace it, going straight to Class M...?

If so, it would definitely have to be a project that a good number of people worked on...

 

[Antvasima]

No, we stick to the OBD's system in this case. Too many pages are adjusted to it. Do not attempt to enforce unnecessary wiki-wide content revisions please. We already have far more than enough to do without them.

 

[ThePerpetual]

Then it's decided.
