Has anyone been to Marvel.com lately? If you haven't, they've recently updated the Marvel universe section where the bios and such are located. Not only is it more organized but you can now vote to make characters handbook power grids points official. Meaning you can now vote and have Marvel change Namor's strength from a 6 to a 7. It's quite helpful, and if you feel a characters points are done incorrectly vote to have them changed.

http://marvel.com/universe/Main_Page Time for Silver Surfer to be a 7 in fighting...
Wait... he already is...

Wait a second... Thanos almost... to the naked eye... seems like he's lower than Surfer in fighting skills, energy projection, intelligence, and duribility...
Good site.

That is unfortunately true.

Is the page messed up for anyone else? seems it moves over to the left to far and is cutting off some text.

Like they're gonna need our help to do that

This is a bad idea....:-\.

1-7 is far too small of a scale. Needs to be 1-10 at least, or a score of 1-100.

They're trying to stick with the classic Marvel ranking. Which brings up an interesting point.

What the @#$% is up with Wolverine's?
5 in strength?
Right. I'm certain I recall him proving that when he took on Venom...or Spiderman...or Hulk...or Thing...or wait a minute.

Fans make me sick.

Not only that, but before you could (Supposedly) edit the bios themselves,
but it would first have to be approved by one of the site's moderators.

I tried to add some stuff to Adam Warlock's abilities at one point.
It listed my user name (same as KMC) as a contributor, but my changes were never added.

And now they've just gone to the "classic" handbook bios that are notoriously inaccurate.....add that to fan stupidity,
and Marvel's "Official" site is probably <<< Wiki right now in terms of credibility.

Yeah they started already have you seen his stats?

I love this new system.

According to the offical votes Odin is less powerful than Surfer.

Of course they haven't done much with Odin's page . . .

AH

Yeah just check a bunch of bios, there are alot who haven't been touched yet.

Well, this is a turn for the wurst... chedder I think.

Galactus:

Current Nova and Surfer:

http://www.marvel.com/universe/Silver_Surfer


Hooray for the fans being more rational than the editors!

Errmm....

TONS and TONS of the 'official' ratings are INCREDIBLY off.

HOORAY! w00t

Maybe Marvel will just alter everything to match the bios.

I don't the scale is big enough for the vastness of power differentials the marvel universe posses.

As someone else pointed out, it should be from 1-100.

I've been saying that people like us are probably the foremost authorities on comic power levels
(the sane ones...if you have bias toward a character, it doesn't really count).

Not joking either. I doubt any given writer of a character that I'm familiar with could run circles around me
in terms of character knowledge, both about that particular
character and the universe in general.
And chances are it would be the other way around....and I don't
even consider myself to be as comprehensive in my knowledge as many people on this site.

I think the problem is the average person voting on these polls doesn't have a clue what each rank represents. People are just thinking "Well, Spider-man is pretty fast, so I guess I'll give a 6 in speed," with out knowing that rank 6 in speed means the character can move at the speed of light.

Marvel should really have the chart that tells what each rank translates into near each character poll somewhere.

It could be true, but I was just reading up on what the handbook actually goes through, don't know if you guys read this but, look at the "how do you go about writing each profile" section.

http://www.marvel.com/universe/OHOTMU:FAQ


It seems they actually go through the whole lot, a whole bunch of marvel editors checking, and rechecking it, making corrections where needed, they actually look at all of a characters appearances, I mean it seems they go through a whole lot.

don't get me wrong, some s*** just dont make sense, my main problem is the speed, everything else I can live with, but what the hell is going on with the speed, its like..

"Wrap Speed, Wrap Speed for everybody, come one come all, Come get your Wrap speed"

But I guess what I mean is, the marvel editors go through a whole lot, I mean these guys run marvel.

At what point do/can we start to accept it?

It's the speed it takes you to cover something in wrapping paper.

People with bad wrap speed can never give gifts without the reciever figuring it out beforehand.
