KMC Forums - DBZ strength System

Marvel comics have its own Strength System, that is published regularly in its popular Handbook range. The characters are assigned to their own strength level depending on what they can lift (i.e. Spiderman can lift about 10 tons so he level 4.) The top raiting for this system is level 7. A character must be able to lift way in excess of 100 tons to be in this category, or be able to physically match a character who has proven they can lift in excess of 100 tons. For example the Hulk (Probably the strongest character in Marvel).

Who in the DBZ universe is a level 7. Are the Super Sayains Level 7 ? Is Frieza a level 7. Should we create a new sytem especially for the DBZ universe. Here is my own DIY sytem that can be applied to any universe (E.G. DC or Marvel) :

Strength : Ability to Lift stuff:

Level 1 (Normal) -A being who can Lift between 0~60 kg or anything under their own body weight. These people engage in moderate exercise (sometimes any way).

Level 2(Peak Human) - A being who can lift between their own body weight and twice their own body weight (80~300kg). This can be seen as athletic strength as those placed in this category take part in regular and strenuous exercise. N.B in the marvel universe 800 pounds is taken as the peak human level as any one who can lift over 800 pounds is considered Meta human.

Level 3 (Enhanced Human) - Beings at this level are considered as having strength that goes beyond the physical limits set by the human body. Usually an external element is involved increasing the strength.

Level 4 (Superhuman Strength 1.) - Characters at this level are depicted as having a lower form of Super Human Strength. They are often illustrated physically overpowering those at the Enhanced Human level and are shown performing feats that can only be duplicated by machinery or numerous individuals. They are portrayed at a lower level as there are various beings that can physically outmatch them.

Level 5 (Superhuman Strength 2.) - The Characters are still shown as having a lower form of super strength but are often portrayed as being superior to those at Level 4.

Level 6 (Monstrerous Strength) - Even in the fictional universes these characters are still perceived as being immensely strong. Although the exact limits of the characters strength are unknown, many are likely to be on par with heavy lifting devices. (The respective weights involved are therefore still within the boundaries of realism.) Although some may be able to perform feats that in a conventional universe are physically impossible. Although several have inconsistently displayed strength that would normally be associated as Demi God level. (Somewhere Around 100 tons)

Level 7 ( Demi God Strength) - In order to be regarded as having Demi God strength, the character must regularly exhibit power FAR beyond the Monstrerous level. Some of the characters have shown that they can surpass the immense strength of modern age heavy machinery, and others have demonstrated strength that should be physically impossible. Although the upper limits of the person�s strength remains a mystery we can gauge their strength by analysing their respective feats for consistency and accuracy. (We are talking Kilo Tons)

Level 8 ( God Strength) - Characters at this level have Inconsistently displayed strength that truly dwarfs the standard Monstrerous / Demi God Level. E.G. Infrequently demonstrating strength that can only be performed regularly by beings with Cosmic Might . I.e. able to achieve inconceivable feats that are hard to imagine - mountain movers. Regular fluctuations in their strength has made it difficult to gauge. ( Moving/lifting mountains and more, although very rarely)

Level 9 (Titan Strength) - The Characters at this level are generally accepted as having strength that even surpasses the God Level. They Consistently exhibit strength at an impressive God level without showing any form of physical exertion. They have also exhibited feats that can only be performed regularly by beings with Cosmic Might. (Truly Ridiculous feats)

Level 10 (Cosmic Might) - In order to be regarded as having Level 10 strength, the being in question must have power on a truly incalculable scale. Although the limits of the beings strength have not been measured it is widely agreed (by writers and readers) that their strength is truly immeasurable. Note that such characters rarely exercise their physical strength, but if they chose to there would probably be no limit to what they could lift/move. (Note that �power inflation� can lead to any being having level 10 strength.

The system goes up to ten as characters from DC tend to stronger than those from Marvel. IMO SS3 is around the Demi God level. They have demonstrated that they have enormous strength but they are yet to carry out a feat, that puts them on a God level. Any way guys what do you think ?
