Question about Shao-Kahn

[Stabbo]

Shao-Kahn is listed at Large Building Level + on the Wiki even though he can kill Blaze who was stated to be able to start Armageddon which would destroy all the realms

Blaze's feat would at least scale to Planet Level given how the realms all have a similar size to Earth, so wouldn't Kahn and any other characters that scale to him/Taven be around Planet Level

Blaze (Mortal Kombat)

Also there is the feat in MK3 where he life-wipes the entirety of Earthrealm instantly leaving only about 8 characters (Kang, Lao, Jax, Sonya, Stryker, Nightwolf, Kabal, and Sub-Zero.)

Again, I'm not debating as I would most likely commit at least one fallacy, I just genuinely want to know.

Because right now the Shao Kahn profile is on the new timeline Shao Kahn, there is actually a Midway thread you can participate in below, which covers that feat if it's canon IIRC

Major Mortal Kombat Revision Part II

[BIG UPDATE] ******* hell, my edit got eaten when I clicked on an ad. Anyways, this is meant to summarize what has happened over five pages of this thread. New keys and tiers The most important part of this revision. We concluded that most kombatants will have two keys: Base and Armageddon key...

Death battle said it ain't canon though but believed if it happened in canon that's what gonna happen plus I thought death battle stated all the realms are in different space-time. And even from what I've seen it should be true.

Solid Question, let me try and answer

Shao-Kahn is listed at Large Building Level + on the Wiki even though he can kill Blaze who was stated to be able to start Armageddon which would destroy all the realms

Currently we've split the MK profiles into two - Midway Timeline (For MK1 - Armageddon) and NetherRealm Timeline (MK9 - 11). The Midway profiles aren't done yet since those revisions are still on going so his page just covers the NetherRealm stuff. Since the timelines are super different in lore and power scaling we've decided to treat them as separate continuities in a way (kinda like how we split the Post-Crisis and Post-Flashpoint DC characters).

As for Blaze, the issue here is that detail comes solely from Blaze's ending (which is clearly non canon) and the entire point of the character's existance is to prevent such an occurrence. Argus (Elder God Patron of Edenia) and his wife Delia basically engineered Blaze as a counter to Mortal Kombatants growing too powerful and eventually becoming a threat (this has more context but I'll leave it there.

While Shao claims he could cause Armageddon with his power, it's unknown how he'd do this. Would it be realm by realm? Would he use his dimensional manipulation to merge the realms? There's a ton of context not there and that's ignoring the possibility the power of Blaze doesn't scale to physical statistics

Also there is the feat in MK3 where he life-wipes the entirety of Earthrealm instantly leaving only about 8 characters (Kang, Lao, Jax, Sonya, Stryker, Nightwolf, Kabal, and Sub-Zero.)

This would be hax, Shao devoured the souls of humanity which is impressive but it's not able to be converted in joules. Souls have no mass to quantify (seemingly) and there's seemingly a lack of environmental destruction beyond just eating everyone. It's certainly crazy to consider but not really anything to base a tiering on

MK Armageddon starts, and I believe states some other time too, with the kombatants having grown much more powerful than before, due to too much kombat. Before this, Shao Kahn's on the same level as Raiden and the deadly alliance, who got annihilated by Raiden's tier 7 suicide feat, which was meant to harm Onaga but didn't do anything to him, Shao Kahn also had to poison Onaga to take over his throne, so, clearly, he was <Raiden's tier 7 suicide feat.

To me it seems more likely that the reason Blaze could destroy all realms is because he was corrupted out of his origical design (ie being into getting killed by Taven or Daegon to prevent armageddon) and that's why he was unstoppable and could kill everyone, as many endings have characters gaining the power he has and access to a very large list of abilities Blaze never uses, he basically only manipulates fire. This is also fitting to how WoG stated him to be the strongest character in MK at the time.
