The original Class 100 term meant someone who can lift over 100 tons but like I said I don't think anyone actually believes that anymore unless handbooks are mentioned. I think KMC is the only website who has posters who think otherwise. Now most people use Class 100 to refer to someone who is a top tier heavy hitter capable of mixing it up with just about anyone.

So what's Class 90 then?
Refers to someone who is weaker than Class 100.
Class 90 is a handbook term more so than Class 100. Class 100 has evolved beyond being used in association with just handbook terms. No one takes those terms seriously. Class 5, Class 85 those mean shit at this point. Class 100 simply refers to a group of elite characters such as Superman, Thor etc.
As a matter of fact there was a thread about it on Herochat recently.

Really? Most people don't care if a character is rated as Class 100 in a handbook. Colossus is a Class 100 and Thing is Class 85 but if I had to pick who's strongest? I'd say it was the Thing although an argument can be made for Colossus of course. They could be equals but my point would still stand. Neither are Class 100's in the sense that the term is most used as today.

I don't know. I wasn't going online to boards when the trend started.
So, anyway. Colossus is a class 100, and Thing an 85, although he could be considered a class 100 due to some of his feats. Still think Colossus hits harder, and is more durable though. Although many would believe this to be a stomp, personally, I'd give a 6/10 to Colossus.

Anyone who thinks Colossus stomps the Thing clearly has not actually read any Thing. He has some impressive feats up there with Colossus' best. I think he might be stronger although the edge would not be something actually noticeable in my opinion. I do agree that Colossus is more durable.
Colossus is more skilled in terms of martial arts knowledge but I personally think Thing is a better brawler.
I'd say a near split with Colossus maybe taking 5.5 to 6 out of 10 like you said.

No thats 100+
100 means the can lift up to 100 tons.
Also HC is for gay ass little kids, no other boards take them seriously anyways.

then, if it actually has nothing to do with a number? [/B]
It's a comparative thing rather than the actual weight, at least for the higher level characters.
In the first edition of the handbook, She Hulk was stated to be able to lift 50 tons, Colossus was at 70 tons, Thing 85, Thor and Wonderman at 95, Hercules at 100, which is insane when you think of the feats they have. Then the Class 100 idea came in, but that's hardly useful either. I mean, if Colossus can lift 110 tons he's Class 100, if Wonderman can lift 50,000 tons he's still Class 100.
