Mordecai & Rigby (Items They Share)
While I'm not against them having specific items, they should preferably have most of their items distinguished through Optional Equipment. I suggest that we make a separate tabber on their profiles to divide it.
This was brought up in another thread, but it was not concluded. Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson have Town level because Death Kwon Do techniques let Rigby destroy the park. However, Rigby seems to do this over time rather than instantly. I cannot imagine any of the destruction in these clips getting higher than Building level. Skips is affected by this because the Fists of Justice are scaled from Death Kwon Do. Benson should also have his Town level removed for his anger state; he was destroying the park over time, much like Rigby.
tl;dr Town level is unfounded and needs to go
Pops and Anti-Pops Tiering Changes
I imagine that this will be the most controversial part of this CRT, but I feel the tiering on the profile needs to be addressed. Pops and Anti-Pops should only be Universal+ in their Titan Forms. Anti-Pops and Pops died to a supernova without them, and Anti-Pops' titan form easily overpowered Pops to the point he needed to go into his own titan form to stalemate him. It's very consistent with the plot that they need these forms for universal striking strength. As for what level they'd be in Base otherwise? I'm unsure otherwise. They have a real lack of feats in this area, so it's hard to classify their strength. The two I think are the most notable are Pops going through a planet (not destroying it) like nothing and Anti-Pops erasing a comet. However, it could just be hax rather than AP. In the worst-case scenario, they'd massively upscale from the main cast. As for the abilities, Pops and Anti-Pops would retain a majority of their abilities in their Base Forms. They'd be massively upscaled in their Titan Forms, however.
Speed Revisions
I think that speed is something that is looking to be fixed too. Regular Show doesn't have too many impressive speed feats, but the profiles don't handle it all that well regardless. Benson is rated as Superhuman while everyone else has Peak Human speed. Mordecai and Rigby also have Supersonic with Death Kwon Do, yet it doesn't even amplify speed. Honestly, I have no problem with Supersonic for the verse, but we should be consistent with the speed scaling. They can likely retain Supersonic because they have some bullet-dodging feats, IIRC. However, they could probably go up to Hypersonic because Benson dodged a missile. Their travel speed really shouldn't be fully indicative of their combat speed and reactions.
Overall Suggested Changes
While I'm not against them having specific items, they should preferably have most of their items distinguished through Optional Equipment. I suggest that we make a separate tabber on their profiles to divide it.
- The Power (Both of them): This is the name of the keyboard they use for their Reality Warping. However, we should expand on some of its notable abilities: it should have Mind Manipulation because it forced Benson to give Mordecai and Rigby a raise (it did a similar thing with Pops as well), Creation as they were able to generate a lot of objects out of nothing here, and Time Travel as it was able to let them time travel back to Pops and Anti-Pops' fight. It should be explained that it's akin to Wish-Granting, so it should have more theoretical applications.
- Time Travel Technology (Both of them): They have this through a few means. They have time travel orbs that allow them to go to different points in time. They also have future ships that allow them to time travel.
- As a side note, the ships should give them a couple more abilities as well. They would get Flight from the ships, and they could likely get Acausality (Type 1) because the ships weren't erased in the present. We know for a fact that when the future changes in Regular Show, characters cease to exist like Future Mordecai and Rigby (the same thing happens to the future versions of themselves in the movie too).
- MFTL Speed & Aura (Both of them): They should get this from the time they received basketball powers from the God of Basketball. They were relative in speed to him, and they were able to generate auras around themselves as they flew.
- The Book of Park Records (Both of them): This is the same case as the first one; we should expand on the shown powers: it should get Weather Manipulation for conjuring a snowstorm out of nowhere and Power Bestowal as it gave Snowballs the Ice Monster the ability to breathe fire.
- On a side note, this should be listed on Benson's profile. It could fall as Standard Equipment probably; it would be Optional Equipment at the worst.
- Supernatural Luck (Rigby-only): Rigby was able to briefly gain Benson's good luck for himself through switching their fortunes. This should only fall as Optional Equipment as this only happens when Rigby has the fortune.
- Self-Destruction & Energy Projection (Mordecai-only): In "Bet To Be Blonde," Mordecai gets a ring from some blondes. It was able to shoot laser and self-destruct depending on the setting.
- Sleep Manipulation (Mordecai-only): He used a tranquilizer gun to put Death Bear asleep.
- Weather Manipulation & Ice Manipulation (Mordecai-only): When eating too many mints in preparation for a kiss, Mordecai created a blizzard. He also started freezing things over instantaneously as a result.
- Statistics Amplification (Both of them): In "Sugar Rush, "they came in possession of glazed doughnuts. These doughnuts allowed them to move so fast that everyone else appeared in slow motion to them.
- This would also apply to Skips and Pops as well.
- Time Manipulation (Both of them): Rigby had an orb that could create time loops. However, they both use it in the comic continuation as well.
- Acrobatics: Mordecai and Rigby have shown to be decently acrobatic; they can easily perform multiple cartwheels, flips, etc.
- Hacking: Mordecai and Rigby were able to hack into a system for a global-wide broadcast.
- Extrasensory Perception: There have been many episodes that cast members have seen spirits, but the most notable example is "The Parkie Awards."
- Self-Sustenance (Type 1): He could breathe on the moon with no issues.
- Skilled in hand-to-hand combat: This is pretty self-explanatory considering how well he does in fights.
- Social Influencing: This should be in place of his expert lying.
- BFR: Mordecai and Rigby were able to send Benson's chair back to the 1970s. They did this through prank calling him and saying the chair was meant to be there. It's similar to what the Master Prank Caller did to them.
- Reality Warping: This is something already acknowledged on Pops' profile. However, it should be added to Mordecai's profile.
- Smoke Manipulation: He has shown to carry around smoke bombs.
- Resistance to Antimatter Manipulation: When he came in contact with antimatter from an antimatter chamber, he wasn't erased at all. He was hurt from it, but he wasn't erased somehow.

- Social Influencing: This should be in place of his expert lying.https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/BFR
- BFR: Mordecai and Rigby were able to send Benson's chair back to the 1970s. They did this through prank calling him and saying the chair was meant to be there. It's similar to what the Master Prank Caller did to them. Additionally, Rigby did this himself to Benson, Pops, and Skips.
- Reality Warping: This is something already acknowledged on Pops' profile. However, it should be added to Rigby's profile.
- Smoke Manipulation: He has shown to carry around smoke bombs.
- Resistance to Antimatter Manipulation: When he came in contact with antimatter from an antimatter chamber, he wasn't erased at all. He was hurt from it, but he wasn't erased somehow.
- Extrasensory Perception: There have been many episodes that cast members have seen spirits, but the most notable example is "The Parkie Awards."
- Limited Mind Manipulation & Limited Light Manipulation: This is a bit of a weird ability, but it's something he legitimately has. If Muscle Man flexes his pecs fast enough, he can use them for hypnotic attraction. However, it should only be limited because it only works for females. Light Manipulation is for the bright light they generate, but there isn't much more to it.
- Durability Negation: I'm a bit more uncertain of this, but Muscle Man's pecs vibrated fast enough to erase body parts they came in contact with (he also completely erased a person from what I remember). It might just be because of how fast they are vibrating, but I'll just let others be the judge of this.
- Aura & Flight: When he wanted to go to Starla, he was able to form a blue aura around himself and fly to her.
- Enhanced Senses: In "Trailer Trashed," Muscle Man was able to smell the Health Inspector and his army coming far before anyone else did.
- MFTL Speed & Aura: He was flying at the same speed as Mordecai and Rigby; he had the aura around himself as well. It should be noted he only has these with the God of Basketball's powers, however.
- Skilled in hand-to-hand combat: This is pretty self-explanatory considering how well he does in fights.https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Corruption
- Corruption: He should scale to Low Five Ghost, who turned Mordecai and Rigby into ghosts. I'm a little surprised it wasn't on the profile already, actually.
- Extrasensory Perception: There have been many episodes that cast members have seen spirits, but the most notable example is "The Parkie Awards."
- Dream Manipulation: Skips has dreamcatchers that can take figments from dreams and erase them. As for the episode, it's showcased in "Sleep Fighter."
- Resistance to Memory Manipulation: This one is pretty simple; Skips managed to remember Ygbir turning everyone into werewolves while everyone else forgot. Apparently, everyone forgetting was supposed to a side effect of Ygbir disappearing.
- Extrasensory Perception: There have been many episodes that cast members have seen spirits, but the most notable example is "The Parkie Awards."
- Skilled in hand-to-hand combat: This is pretty self-explanatory considering how well he does in fights.https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Supernatural_Luck
- Supernatural Luck: I'm pretty sure this speaks for itself, but Benson is noted to have unnaturally good luck. There is an entire episode that even revolves around this.
- Fire Manipulation, Flight, Forcefield Creation, Gravity Manipulation, Deconstruction, & Energy Projection: He can light his gumballs on fire and form fiery energy around himself. He can levitate if angered enough with a shield surrounding him. He begins to drag items close to him even closer, and he deconstructs things when they come in contact with his shield. He acts like a pseudo-black hole in his angered state. Also, he was able to shoot out energy when addressing Mordecai and Rigby.
- Electricity Manipulation & Instinctive Reaction: With his suit, Benson has some nifty abilities. It allows him to generate electricity and react to attacks without even needing to see them.
- Extrasensory Perception: There have been many episodes that cast members have seen spirits, but the most notable example is "The Parkie Awards."
- Non-Physical Interaction: I'm not sure why he doesn't have this already when he's fought spirits multiple times before.
- Longevity: He was born a decent bit before 1910. While the exact year Regular Show takes place in is unknown, the show implies in the mid-2000s. Pops would likely be over a hundred years old, yet he is still physically fit and well to do. His aging process seems significantly slower than the average person.
- Vehicular Mastery: This is fairly simple in that he can expertly drive Carmenita, an incredibly advanced car.
- Flight (w/ Carmenita): The car that he drives often allows him to fly. However, he should only have this as Optional Equipment.
- Aura: The profile already mentions how he has an empathic aura. This is just a matter of adding something that should already be there.
- Spatial Manipulation: I'm pretty sure he should get this too. Whenever Pops and Anti-Pops fight, their universe resets with them remaking space. This would qualify for more than just the Time Manipulation they currently have listed.
- Ice Manipulation: His current Water Manipulation already considers this, but it should extend to Ice Manipulation. He was able to freeze said water in place after stopping it.
- Forcefield Creation: Whenever he was defending against Rigby, he made a protective barrier of positive energy.
- Transformation: Self-explanatory. He can transform into his titan form.
- Self-Sustenance (Type 1): Considering how Pops and Anti-Pops have an incredibly prolonged battle in space (without being in an atmosphere), he should definitely be fine to get this.
- Matter Manipulation: He molecularly broke down a coin and re-assembled it.
- Telepathy: Pops is shown telepathically speaking to Mordecai and Rigby in the finale. Earl backs this up in an earlier episode when he says, "Yes. Now that Pops is telepathic, he'll never need a telephone again."
- Removal of Portal Creation: This is one of the few things that need to be removed. Pops didn't create a portal to the previous universe; Earl had a fragment of it that jogged Pops' memory. There is nothing in the show that gives him Portal Creation.
- Extrasensory Perception & Non-Physical Interaction: He gets both from scaling to Pops (though he can interact with HFG regardless).
- Longevity: He should get this because he's roughly the same age as Pops.
- Aura: He has his own aura, similar to Pops. This is something that should be fine to add.
- Spatial Manipulation: I'm pretty sure he should get this too. Whenever Pops and Anti-Pops fight, their universe resets with them remaking space. This would qualify for more than just the Time Manipulation they currently have listed.
- Transformation: Self-explanatory. He can transform into his titan form.
- Self-Sustenance (Type 1): Considering how Pops and Anti-Pops have an incredibly prolonged battle in space (without being in an atmosphere), he should definitely be fine to get this.
- Matter Manipulation: I have no doubt he scales to Pops' use. He has used a similar application for Transmutation like Pops. At worst, he should get a "likely."
- Power Bestowal: Technically, he already has this listed on his profile, but it should link to Power Bestowal. He can give Basketball powers to other people.
- Aura: He would get it for the same reasons Muscle Man, Rigby, and Mordecai do.
This was brought up in another thread, but it was not concluded. Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson have Town level because Death Kwon Do techniques let Rigby destroy the park. However, Rigby seems to do this over time rather than instantly. I cannot imagine any of the destruction in these clips getting higher than Building level.

Speed Revisions
I think that speed is something that is looking to be fixed too. Regular Show doesn't have too many impressive speed feats, but the profiles don't handle it all that well regardless. Benson is rated as Superhuman while everyone else has Peak Human speed. Mordecai and Rigby also have Supersonic with Death Kwon Do, yet it doesn't even amplify speed. Honestly, I have no problem with Supersonic for the verse, but we should be consistent with the speed scaling. They can likely retain Supersonic because they have some bullet-dodging feats, IIRC. However, they could probably go up to Hypersonic because Benson dodged a missile. Their travel speed really shouldn't be fully indicative of their combat speed and reactions.
Overall Suggested Changes
- Mordecai & Rigby Optional Equipment Clarification:Reality Warping/Wish Granting, Creation, Time Travel, Flight, Acausality (Type 1), Aura (w/ MFTL speed), Power Bestowal, Weather Manipulation, Statistics Amplification, Time Manipulation, and all other current abilities on their profiles.

- Pops: Extrasensory Perception, Non-Physical Interaction, Longevity, Statistics Amplification, Vehicular Mastery, Flight, Aura, Spatial Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Forcefield Creation, Transformation, Self-Sustenance (Type 1), Matter Manipulation, and Telepathy
- Portal Creation needs to be removed
- Anti-Pops: Extrasensory Perception, Non-Physical Interaction, Longevity, Aura, Spatial Manipulation, Transformation, Self-Sustenance (Type 1), and Matter Manipulation
- God of Basketball: Power Bestowal and Aura
- Tiering: 7-C gets removed from profiles. Anti-Pops and Pops will get different keys for their Season 8 bases and their Titan/Celestial forms.
- Speed: They would get upgraded somewhere from Supersonic to Hypersonic.
