The Power level ranking System

As an afterthought, consider how dangerous Batman can be.

In Superman/Batman: Supergirl, he recoded and activated all 500 of Darkseid's hellspore weapons, implying all of Apokolips would be reduced to cinder if he let them go off. Even Superman couldn't do that, that it would take far less than a nuke to take Batman out.

Good point, except the threat heirachy is based on a realistic earth, i.e not all earths nuclear weapons are situated in a big wherehouse that is easilly broken into.

This got me rethinking Marvel's speed scale.
SPEED
1 = Below normal
2 = Normal
3 = Superhuman: peak range - 700mph
4 = Speed of sound: Mach-1
5 = Supersonic: Mach-2 through Orbital Velocity
6 = Speed of light: 186,000 miles per second
7 = Warp speed: transcending light speed

Big gap between 5 and 6. Level 6, and 4, aren't even a range.
I propose...
Normal: 10-20 mph
Peak: 20-30 mph
Superhuman: 30mph to near Mach 1
Supersonic: Mach 1+
Hectosonic: Mach 100+
Kilosonic: Mach 1000+
Warp: lightspeed or faster

when the 2 of you guys get together, my head spins.

Anybody remember the old handbooks from the 1990's? Those had alot less gaps. The strength levels were Superhuman class 10(2 tons to 10 tons), Superhuman class 25(10 tons to 25 tons), Superhuman class 50(25-50 tons), Superhuman class 75(50-75 tons), Superhuman class 90(75-90 tons), Superhuman class 100(90-100 tons) and Incalcuable(over 100 tons).

When Marvel started this 1-7 numbering scale they watered down the classes and put some together.

Level #4: Class 10 and 25 ton.
Level #5: Class 50 and 75 ton.
Level #6: Class 90 and 100 ton.
Level #7: Incalcuable over 100 tons.
