In that case, as Superman was mentioned (not by me, btw...):If a thread specifies OWAW Superman, can Abhi take the highest highs of 'normal' Superman, and exponentially draw the line? After all, by logic and common sense, if 'normal' Superman can do XYZ, then OWAW Supes should be capable of the same to the nth degree.
So imagine abhi gleefully rubbing his hands, and scan dumping normal Supes and his resistance to magic/telepathy/Kryptonite. The highest ever speed feats and strength feats, and then claiming that OWAW has that and more.
DoS Doomsday took an energy blast that tore a hole in reality. H/P Doomsday, therefore, can tank....I dunno, whatever it is but incredibly amped, lol.
Kuurth has, on paper, both the enchantments of Cyttorrak AND the Serpent. Am I allowed to take Juggy's highest showings, apply it to him?
Sodom Yat, has, on paper (lol), Kryptonian level physicals AND a GL ring AND the Ion entity. Shall I stack them up on each other, or am I restricted to what was actually shown on panel by the character?
Beast is another good example. On paper, he has had several upgrades. So shall I take his highest showings back when he was human/ape level, and draw a line upwards? Or am I forced to actually use what is depicted?
Writers and artists don't care for these battleboards, lol. They don't care that back in 1994, character XYZ performed such and such a feat, so they should be able to do that same feat but better.
We care. and we have the distinctions, however. And if a thread specifies WBH, then it should be WBH. Not using Savage feats, especially if it is contradicted by WWH feats, say.
So if I made a thread of OWAW Superman vs Jean Grey and said Jean wins easy 10/10 via telepathy, how would you counter it? Superman during OWAW didn't encounter any telepathy during the story, so how would you counter my argument?
