Wednesday profile has some stuff I disagree with
Powers and Abilities:
"Social Influencing(Capable of masterfully manipulating others over the course of her investigation)"
Is she really? Like, she cracks the case and all but but it isn't through manipulation of others, it's through evidence gathering and shit. It's made a point in the show that she sucks with people.
"Stealth Mastery (Was able to escape her therapy session and break open a window without anyone noticing)"
She opened a window with a nail filer and vaulted through it. Silently, obviously, because opening a window like that isn't particularly loud. This doesn't even come close to stealth mastery. It isn't
even stealth proficiency or something like that. It's just knowing how to open a window with a nail filer.
"Summoning and Healing (Her necklace is a talisman made for conjuring spirits, which she can use to allow Goody Addams to pass through her and heal even fatal wounds)"
All well and good but we should specify that she can only use this once, and that she used it in the season finale, so any battles that take place after the end of S1 will have her without this abilty. The video showcasing this conveniently skips over the part where Goody says this.
Attack Potency / Striking Strength:
"Was able to easily take down a group of older teenagers singlehandedly with martial arts."
Wednesday doesn't do this through raw power, she beats them because she knows martial arts. Knowing martial arts doesn't make you 10-A.
"Squeezed someone's hand hard enough to crunch their bones."
That's technique, not power.
"Knocked Thornhill out with a kick."
KO'ing a debilitated person via curbstomp is not particularly impressive.
"Clashed her sword against another strike hard enough to shatter it."
Thought it was made pretty clear that Joseph was the one who swung his staff hard enough to shatter Wednesday's sword, she had no hand in it.
"Fought against and delivered the final blow against Joseph Crackstone"
She stabbed him in the heart which is literally his only friggin weakness.
Speed:
"Athletic level"
No reason to believe that she's anything more than Human level on foot. We should probably give her higher combat speed though because regular people can't even get a single hit on her nor block her attacks.
"Subsonic reaction speed (Moved quick enough to intercept an arrow aimed at Xavier)"
Get what they were going for but considering Crackstone turns the arrow around reeeeaaaal ****** slowly she totally saw it coming. As the Speed page says:
"Reaction speed is reacting to an attack that you don't know is going to happen, or at a very close range."
"(Can keep up in combat with Joseph Crackstone, who was telekinetically able to react to and stop a flying arrow in midair)
A: She loses. B: Their Reaction Speed needs not to be the same for the fight to end how it did. Joseph is physically stronger than her (He cracks her sword) so why should we assume that their Reaction Speed is equal?
"Lifting Strength: Unknown"
Man, just give her Average Human, there's nothing that contradicts it and it makes logical sense.
Durability:
"(Survived being slammed into a tree trunk by Tyler)"
One that's actually good! Yippee! I'm still skeptical. Realistically most people could survive this. It's not like she bangs her head on the trunk, just her back. Eh, I doubt it reaches 10-A, plus Tyler was running kinda slow if you ask me.
"(After an arrow was lodged in her shoulder, she pulled it out, and got right back up to continue her fight with Crackstone)"
This is a stamina feat, not a durability feat.
Standard Equipment / Optional Equipment:
Her having the talisman as this is fine, but she only uses the sword in the finale. She has one hidden in her umbrella though, which she still only uses in this one scene. Also the fencing sword which is rarely used.
The bow and arrow isn't even hers, it's Xavier's and she uses it only once. Should it even be in her Optional Equipment?
Closest thing she has to Standard Equipment is, well, Thing. The living hand. Does he even count?
