I think it foolishness to assume a character was downgraded in ever area and the other character was at peak prformance. I also think it dumb to assume an off pannel fight is evidence to suggest a 2nd tier placement.
Im done with this arguement I disagree with you.
I'm saying that only based on evidence.
Doop was struggling to hold off some metal tentacles, couldn't bust through some chains with his own strength, and barely affected Wolverine with a punch (He sent Thor flying). I don't think his other powers were affected. Aside from his malleability/shape changing and levitation, he really didn't use his other powers. Which is normal.
Doop was harmed by Wolvie's punch, cut with the claws, and knocked around by some metal tentacles, so I don't think he was at full durability.
Which leaves him... where?
Lowered strength and durability, because a super strong, invincible Doop wouldn't work for the plot. This is par with Doop's nature to only be as powerful as need be.
Wolverine, on the other hand, bullet dodges at the beginning and knocks out a bunch of henchmen (iirc), so his agility didn't seem depowered to me.
His only fights, he matches Doop. Doop's supposed to be a MA master, so that's not a surprise.
So all in all, I saw nothing that implied he was depowered in fighting skill. Nor that Doop was given a boost (Marvel ranks him as high as can be, and upholds what they give him later on... so it didn't seem off beat).
Thusly, it didn't seem like an inappropriate feat to me, beyond keeping in mind that Doop wasn't at par with strength and durability.
So I thought my assumptions were fine, seeing as I have read the issues and based what I think off of them.
Now... let's see.
I think it's ILLOGICAL to assume that any element of a character was depowered if there is NO supporting evidence.
ESPECIALLY if you've only seen scans of a fight and base your entire decision off of that.
Doop's matched Wolverine, Thor, and is ranked as high as possible in fighting skills by Marvel.
So far there has been no counter evidence from you beyond simply saying that you don't think the fight with Wolverine is valid. Which is still not a reason as to why Doop doesn't belong in second. Much less third.
Frankly, it seems blindly biased to say he should be fourth if there's nothing to suggest it.
