What determines if a character is above Street Level?

Started by The Nuul17 pages

Charles X is also street.

Colossus and Emma not transformed (funny coming from Colossus Big C).

if youcan kill a million people with a thought, you are not street level, you might have a glass jaw, but we're not seperating body parts into catagories, ie, a street level bod with a high meta brain and herald level toe nails.

Charles X is Not street

I just figure if most of your time is spent running the streets, or are comparable to those characters, smaller-time stuff, you are street level.

It really is an open term though.

Yes he is.

He was making fun of Colossus Big C's comment that anyone who can be hurt by a punch is street level.

I have two definitions of what constitutes "above street"

There's the liberal definition, which is any character who is physically a peer or superior in some way to Deathstroke

And there's the conservative definition, which puts the bar more around Spider-Man. If you have a power that can utterly put Spider-Man to shame then you're above street by that definition.

Should Cap be meta?

Isn't he high street? A blurred line.

Liberals and conservatives.

Idk, with his shield the argument could be made under the liberal definition.

By powers is technically is above what any human should be able thus he is above peak human.

They may operate on street level but all of them are above peak human.

The same could be said for Batman tbh.

Would just like to say people who consider wolverine street level are crazy his power set easily puts him above it despite his physical stats

His power isn't really all that much above street tbh, it's just his durability+HF that allow him to hang with people multiple tiers above him. Which is the same as Deathstroke's instantaneous reflexes and vaguely enhanced stats allowing him to punk Heralds.

They're still straddling the edge of street and meta, and I wouldn't say either of them are "easily" above street when street includes people like Batman and Captain America.

I guess it is how you look at it. Wolverine was considered on the board peak human in 05, then he became enhanced and now low level super. There were times where people considered him stronger than DD but weaker than Cap except for healing. If you use his crazy feats then yes.

Spider-Man would be street if you put someone like Superman next to him, but with finer distinctions he would be above it by a good amount. Smashing tanks with your bare hands and holding up buildings is above a street level character.

Spider-Man is the best example of why street leveler is an ill-defined concept.

His focus is as street oriented as is Batman's (perhaps more, since he tends to have a few less outer space adventures with Herald levelers) yet his powers are clearly superhuman.

Hence why I say he is a street "hero" but not a street level character. His threats are generally street (save for upgraded Electro, Sandman, Venom, Carnage, New Ock), Toxin (at some points)...

Wait a second, maybe he isn't as street as it seemed at first glance... 😕
