i'm thinking of some of his fights--i remember him smashing some giant robot to pieces for example. maybe 80 is a little high but for sure cl50-80 i'd think. he had that brief tussle with glads too and at least did...something to glads, even though he was toying with drax. more than ben did. maybe i just don't see cl80 as being very strong compared to the real heavyweights. /shrug
More should have been done with Ben's character. Spent decades building him up, making him a sparring partner with Hulk, go on about how much "heart" he has, the average joe with class 85 strength and on and on.
Just to leave him completely behind, while building on other characters. Poor Ben has been stuck in stasis for 30 years.
Watching everybody around him get upgrades, take turns ruling the universe and, of course, becoming interesting.
While Ben eats his lunch.
