Hey Digi, can you leave this open even though it's not a versus thread per say, it is very relevant to versus debates.
The following characters are all class 100, but their strength levels can actually differ by huge amounts. I've noticed in versus threads that people make a big deal about small strength differences (i.e. Spiderman has big advantage because he's a class 15 while Captain America lifts many tons less....yet we don't make a big deal when one class 100 lifts 1,000,000,000 tons while the other class 100 lifts 100 tons)
Can we get a consensus on the BASE level strength of the following characters? Just give a estimate of what you think is the base level strength (based on average showings, not a few high feats or a few low feats)
I'm just astounded by how often one class 100 (ie Hulk - base level of at least 1,000,000 tons) who is 10,000x stronger than another class 100 (ie Colossus - base level of about 100 tons) would have a tough time ending the fight in less than a second
Imagine Spiderman fighting someone he was stronger than by 10,000x (meaning the guy could lift only 4 POUNDS!!!!) nobody would think that guy would have a chance...yet when a class 100 is 10,000x stronger than another class 100, nobody bats an eye.
Why is that?
In effect, Hulk should beat Colossus with the same ease that Spiderman would have against a man who could lift max 4 friggin pounds!!!! Meaning Hulk should be able to flick Colossus with his pinky.

I actually think that lots of class 100 people can extert themselves from the base level at least a bit. Adrealine, energy, rage, whatever would help them to grow in strenght.

right, so you agree it is wildly inconsistent to make a guy who lifts over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons one day struggle against a guy who lifts at max 1000 tons the next day
If Spiderman one day had trouble fighting a 5 yr old, wouldn't you be outraged at the inconsistency?

Base strength is a plot device. Then again, the lack of a true base strength is also a plot device. All that really matter is that one character is stronger than another. Then again, who cares.
Don't forget, the Midgar Serpent wights as much as the world, but then again, when the Midgar Serpent was "invented" the World was much smaller, or the people though it is much smaller, and it was flat . Anyway, Thor is Class 100 IIRC from the Handbooks and RPG books, while Hulk starts at Class 100 and reaches his max enraged Str at Class 500, or Shift Z.
