Why are characters like Batroc, Crossbones, and Helmut Zemo listed as 9-A when Captain America and Bucky are listed as 8-A?
 
Marvel is extremely inconsistent, so we decided to scale the more regular "street level" characters from the Punisher, and the highest ones from Deadpool.
 
Matthew made approximations of which characters that are stronger than the others, but it isn't at all easy to try to make sense of the Marvel powerscaling, since "street level" characters can even be scaled to High 1-B or 1-A cosmic entities in a few storylines:

Power-scaling Rules for Marvel and DC Comics
 
Zemo, Batroc, and Crossbones are generally presented as considerably less dangerous than Captain America, but the big problem is that in Marvel any character can beat any other character, no matter the power difference, so it is the hardest franchise in this wiki to try to make sense of.

I am against with scaling them to Cap, although I could maybe see Zemo. Definitely not Batroc or Crossbones tho.
 
@Matthew

I do not think that Zemo has generally given the impression to be nearly as dangerous as Cap in a fight.

@Landon

In lack of better options we have to go by approximations of consistency for Marvel.
