Swarm Revision (Marvel)

[Armorchompy]

Swarm's profile is a bit wonky.

First off, one easy addition to it. Natural Weaponry, since bees have stingers.

Anyway, High 8-C is a wacky rating. There's two scans used to justify it. The AP one clearly is about the bees' venom hurting Spidey, not them punching the shit out of him. They're definitely piercing his skin but so can bullets, syringes and knives so this isn't any different. As for the durability one, he states that he shares the agony his bees feel, but that's it. He feels their pain but that isn't tanking in the traditional sort of way- those bees clearly aren't High 8-C but 10-C, he just didn't die cause he's way harder to kill than that. So, he should be downgraded to Unknown

...why not just downgrade him to 10-C?

...why not just downgrade him to 10-C?

cause larger masses of bees would likely be able to hit harder than that by moving in sync. But I don't mind 10-C if that's what yall prefer

 

[Armorchompy]

bump

 

[Armorchompy]

@Antvasima opinions?

 

[Tllmbrg]

Wouldn't "At least 10-C, likely higher" be the best option then

 

[Armorchompy]

yeah, or "10-C, higher with large enough swarms"

 

[Antvasima]

Unknown seems like the best tier for him, yes.

 

[Tllmbrg]

Unknown seems like the best tier for him, yes.

How, it's a bunch of bees
Bees aren't unknown, they're 10-C

 

[Armorchompy]

Yeah I wouldn't disagree that at least pointing out that the singular bees are 10-C. But really I don't mind any conclusion I just saw the issue and wanted to point it out.

 

[Antvasima]

The bees are some kind of mutated super-bees that could cause problems for an entire team of superheroes, The Champions, if I remember the old stories with Swarm correctly.

 

[Armorchompy]

Still, I doubt they reach 10-B levels of strength. He does also control normal bees though, I can tell you that for sure.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[Armorchompy]

is it ok if i go ahead and make the changes?

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, that seems fine. Feel free to do so.

 

[Armorchompy]

Done. Obviously the profile still isn't fully comprehensive but hey that's an improvement.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. Should we close this thread then?

 

[Armorchompy]

yeah sure

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.
