Goosebumps Revisions: Depressingly Long Edition

This is me manually going through 80+ profiles so the verse doesn't get nuked to oblivion becuase people don't bother reading wiki guidelines.

And somehow I'm the bad guy, anyways let's get on with it.

This revision will be focused on removing mentions of other, tertiary sources from within the profiles i.e. decompositing them, alongside fixing any other statistical inconsistencies. I'm not going to bother collecting every single Goosebumps book for the sake of this, and am going to consult the wiki instead, so feel free to correct me

Amaz-O (Goosebumps)

  • He should have a 10-C key to reflect his Bunny form.
  • Shouldn't he be Gifted as he made the robot-him?
  • Regarding abilities:
    • Illusion Creation needs abit more proof
    • He actually does have other abilities within the books which aren't explained properly within the profiles by being solely "Illusions". This being Creation (His bag of tricks had multiple balls and doves appear out of thin air)
    • The rabbit monster thingies aren't mentioned in the books it seems, as such they should be removed
Andrew Craw (Goosebumps)

  • The ratings are too bizarre, him being capable of ripping out heads is purely speculative of the other characters as Andrew himself doesn't show this feat, and him creating the room is non-sensical and speculative too, and definitely doesn't scale to his AP in any way.
  • The Death Manipulation listed is either poorly edited, or otherwise, because I don't think Stephanie and Duane die, and the power is likely meant to be for Otto and Edna, right? Even then, it is never stated that Andrew killed them, they may have been Ghosts well before that.
  • The summary has alotta factual and spelling errors too...
Annihilator 3000 (Goosebumps)

  • Small Size (Type 0) is unwarranted as in the books it's described as Child-Sized, which is like, 13 years old I reckon
  • Self-Sustenance (Type 2) is wrong, as the thing still requires batteries.
  • Robots don't have limitless stamina, it was refuted a long time ago
Camp Spirit Moon Residence (Goosebumps)

  • It has already been stated in the profile that the characters have Type 2 Immortality and Resistance to Pain. So why are these listed on their Durability section to give 9-C ratings again? It's not like they resisted any of this crap, and thus doesn't translate to durability
Clarissa (Goosebumps)

Egg Monsters (Goosebumps)

  • Tier should change to 10-C, 10-A in groups
Giant Praying Mantis
This one is vastly different in the books and movies, if anything needs decompositing it is this thing.

  • Where does Flight come from?
Book Versio

  • Large Size is Type 0, they're described to be thrice the height of Erin
  • Regenerationn and Immortality aren't for this key, it is for the other one.
  • I need help with the tier of these things
Movie Versio

  • The Mantis is completely biological, and legitimately seems to be based on the cover rather than the text itself (even the movie R.L Stine doesn't recognize it), so it doesn't get Inorganic Physiology
  • Large Size seems to be Type 1, and I approximated it around 45 metres
Giant Worm (Goosebumps)

Graveyard Residence (Goosebumps)

  • This profile seems to be a composite of every single ghost in the book, which unlike other civilizations, actually do have unique characteristics. As such, this should be nuked.
Haunted Mask (Goosebumps)
MY POOR BABY BOY WHAT HAVE THE BAD MEN DONE TO YOU

  • Regenerationn and Immortality come from the movie version, should be removed
  • Self-Sustenance is presumptive, should be removed
  • The Beast from the East stuff should be removed, comes from a video game
Horrors (Goosebumps)

  • A composite of EVERY. SINGLE. HORROR. For those who don't know, this will be like compositing every saiyan in Dragon Ball. Should be nuked.
King Jellyjam (Goosebumps)

  • His tier is BS, should be 9-C
Monster Blood (Goosebumps)

  • Blue Monster Blood warrants its own profile, it has nothing to do with Green Monster Blood
  • Alongside that, Monster Blood only became alive because of Sabrina's enchantment in the first book, and never shows any sentience in its other appearances. As such, it should be reclassified as a Weapon only profile
Monty's Clones (Goosebumps)

  • 9-C is BS, they'd be 10-A at best
  • Self-Duplication is with Preparation and equipment. Should've been listed as such.
Mr. Mortman (Goosebumps)

  • The "him eating children" thing was only in the original draft. It shouldn't even have been mentioned in the profile. His Lifting Strength should thus be Unknown instead.
  • Being a Librarian doesn't give you "Above Average" intellect It is below average if anything
Mr. Wood (Goosebumps)

Mrs. Maaargh (Goosebumps)

Mummies (Goosebumps)

  • Compositing every single mummy in the franchise regardless whether they even show said abilities. Nuke'em
R.L. Stine (Goosebumps)

  • All-Powerful Author Avatar and pseudo-Stage Persona. Nuke it.
Ricky Beamer
AKA Back when I could **** up a profile this hard

  • Elasticity should be nuked because of it being from Tertiary Canon
  • Stats are absolutely BS. 9-A should be changed to 10-A, they show normal Human speeds and lifting strength, any statements of superiority from them should be taken with a grain of salt given how egotistical Creeps are.
I'll do the rest of them on a later date, mainly because this is taking ages, and I'll have to reword alotta stuff in the profiles themselves as well.
 
Very well then, I'll start to apply the changes, given that these are pretty self-evident.

I'd wait some more time for input
 
The nuking of the various profiles is approved for obvious reasons.

Can we get Gewsbumpz dude over here and ask him about a lot of these things as well? Since he was the one who created the majority of these profiles, he would be the best to explain these problematic abilities and power levels.

I'll hold off until we get him over here to finalize myself, but most of what I see here is extremely acceptable to me.
 
I think this is sufficient input, all the users who could've provided their input already have
 
Eh, people can tell what is good fun and what is actually malicious, given I didn't say anything wrong or insulting.

Anyways, I'll start to apply this now, literally I don't think anyone can provide more input
