Regarding the problematic nature of the James Bond verse and assistance for it

The 007 verse is the verse belonging to the James Bond franchise, and deals with the characters as present in the books, movies, games and other medias the character may be present in.

Now, onto the biggest problem concerning the verse, the enitrety of it is scaling from the James Bond (Composite) profile, which, as it says on the tin itself, is a composite profile.

Therefore, a collection of one-film characters the majority of the verse is constructed on, aren't scaling from the James Bond they fought, but literally every iteration of the said character.

This also became severely problematic when the verse was getting upgraded to 9-A due to the composite Bond scaling from the comics' feat. For an analogy, imagine the MCU getting upgraded from the Marvel Comic's feats.

As a solution to this problem, I have discussed with TheArsenal1212 on the possibility of getting the following profiles for scaling purposes, so as to prevent scenarios like this ever happening again:

  • James Bond (Original Film Series)
  • James Bond (Brosnan Version) (Controversial)
  • James Bond (Daniel Craig Version)
Other appropriate versions for video games and comics as required.

Due to the time-consuming nature of upgrades, I also ask for those interested to help making these profiles as well
 
Also, to acknowledge the common argument:

They are all the same iteration of the character
That is wrong, as the Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan iteration are officially listed as reboots of the franchise, alongside that, a character with a 70 year long history shouldn't be composited to this level anyhow, especially considering that Brosnan's and Craig's versions hold far superior feats to the versions preceeding them.

If one would refer to our Cano page, we can see that the game and comics versions would classify as tertiary feats, and would be completely disregarded when scaling to the primary canon, being the books and movies.
 
Idk, are all the other profiles properly linked to their respective Bonds?
