1 BiBeast = 1 Savage Hulk.
1 Savage Hulk = 1 Herc (roughly)
1 WBH = 1000 Hercs
Therefore, WBH was only 7.5x more powerful than WWH?
Err I get your intention and even agree with the sentiment that we shouldnt focus too much on numbers but this calculation is totally incoherent and undermines your point entirely. First and foremost it was actually hulk in his Green Scar ergo WWH persona that trounced the x1000 Wendigo and Bi Beast. That said and using that line of reasoning 1 Green Scar is not equal to 1000 bi beasts. He would actually equate to being far stronger than 1000 bi beasts AND 1000 Wendigos. WBH is then far more powerful than Green Scar and ergo the calculation is more damaging to your case than anything.
On a more serious note, I fully agree with the sentiment that we should try not to focus overtly on numbers. When we get caught up in such battleboard minutia we tend to overlook the overall intention of the story. Ideally, everyone should know that WBH was intended by Pak to be the most powerful Hulk ever, far beyond top tier, and there should be no need to harp on such ridiculous fictional details.
The problem is that this is a battleboard and in places like this what is abundantly apparent is often skewed and obscured by individual biases and predispositions. So while it should be clear that WBH is intended to be superior to top tier characters in power levels and the most powerful version of Hulk ever, too many it is not. I have had entire battlezones against respcted posters claiming that WBH is no more powerful than previous versions of Hulk and that he is no more than top tier strengthwise. It is as a result of such distortions and the fact that this IS a battleboard that the numbers are so notable. The fact that this thread is sill open and not yet closed for spite is a testament to this.
Rarely have I seen a character as optimized for battleboard usage as Paks Hulk. A Pak was more concerned with giving Hulk feats that really advancing the story arc and even created an in story power level system to objectively measure powerlevels so as to put his intention beyond any doubt. Heck in his dialogue he even seemed to poke fun at common battleboard claims about the Hulk and brought back old Hulk villains and amped them to ridiculous levels....just to show how much more powerful Hulk was. When comparing character power levels which is the core purpose for VS forums, Pak placed WBH in virtually a category of his own in terms of the overwhelming and objective nature of the evidence.
Is it silly that a writer would create a character with such considerations in mind in the first place. Of course it is. Does that take away from the validity of the evidence itself? Not at all. And in this context thats what matters.
