Marvel characters


Marvel is a cornucopia of fantasy, a wild idea, a swashbuckling attitude, an escape from the humdrum and prosaic. It’s a serendipitous feast for the mind, the eye, and the imagination, a literate celebration of unbridled creativity, coupled with a touch of rebellion and an insolent desire to spit in the eye of the dragon.
~ Stan Lee

Summary

Marvel Comics is a comic book publishing company that has created many iconic superheroes such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, the Hulk, and Captain America, alongside many others.

Beginning in 1939 as Timely Comics, its main production was focused on pulp magazines, with the Human Torch, Namor the Submariner and Captain America being some of the earliest superheroes featured.

Eventually being named Marvel Comics, the company had a resurgence in the early 1960s under the helm of Stan Lee, with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko as the other main creators of currently iconic characters.

Marvel Comics have been adapted into various films, television series, books, video games and other forms of media, most notable being the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is one of the highest grossing film franchises in the world.

Power of the Verse

The Marvel Universe is an expansive verse with a lot of characters, as such many degrees of power levels exist.

In terms of Attack Potency, many characters are mainly centered around 9-B to 8-B range ("Street Tiers"; Harboring characters like Daredevil, Captain America, Wolverine and Spider-Man); Low 7-B to 7-B ("Lower Mid Tiers"; With characters such as Iron Man and the classic versions of Rogue and Captain Marvel); and 5-B ("Upper Mid Tiers"; Containing Grey Hulk, The Thing and Doctor Doom).

They yet further increase in tiers with 3-C to High 3-A ("Herald Tiers"; Having Hulk, Thor, Silver Surfer, and Thanos); High 1-B ("Skyfather Tiers" such as Odin, and Zeus); Low 1-A/1-A (Universal abstract entities like Eternity, Infinity, Death, and Oblivion); and peaking at High 1-A (Multiversal counterparts of the universal abstract entities, The Living Tribunal, The Beyonders, The First Firmament, and The One Above All).

There are also a vast number of abilities within this verse, making Marvel a formidable verse all-in-all.

Galaxy level and High Universe level scaling

Please refrain from attempting to scale Marvel Comics characters to the full power statistics of other characters at a 3-C or High 3-A scale of power without explicit evidence that the second mention are performing at their peaks, as characters such as the Hulk, Thor, Silver Surfer, and The Sentry often have a tendency to hold back immensely in combat within certain conditions. The characters in question regularly perform at various levels of power, due to a mixture of extreme degrees of control over their energy outputs and inconsistencies between different writers. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of our statistics, a character has to qualify under these conditions, to fully scale to them:

  • They can consistently match a bloodlusted version of a character who is known to hold back (Note: Mind-controlled versions may not be able to overcome certain mental barriers restricting powers, and clones may not be able to perfectly recreate the original character's power level.)
  • They are fighting in scenarios where a character known to hold back has no reason to do so, such as whenever they intend to kill the opponent or do not have to worry about collateral damage.
    • Feats set on Earth or similarly populated areas would be heavily questioned due to the factor of collateral damage, which the characters may be aware of.
  • They can harm characters deemed fully Galaxy level or High Universe level consistently. Note that certain characters may be listed as unreliable to scale from due to sheer inconsistency as well.
  • If a character has feats only against characters known to hold back, their scaling would be judged on a case-by-case basis. For example, Mar-Vell has a star creation feat at his peak, but he fought an explicitly holding back Thor on Earth, so given the circumstances this is likely not Galaxy level. Stardust has a star absorption feat, and has fought the Silver Surfer in space, but considering that the characters have a common power source and fought in scenarios where the Surfer wouldn't hold back, they are likely comparable.
  • In addition, such scaling has to make sufficiently coherent logical sense in the context of other feats for the affected characters.

Explanations

The Size of the Marvel Universe

We consider the part of the Marvel universe that is possible for characters to travel within to have been proven to be finite, and to at the very least have a radius of 1 trillion lightyears.[1]

This is due to that it has very explicitly been established to have a border called The Crunch,[2] to have a centre that Thanos was once transported to after being deprived of a cosmic cube,[3] and to have been reduced to 1/10th of its original size during the Reckoning War storyline.[4]

Although many, but unproven and likely allegorical, statements regarding that the entirety of the universe as a whole is infinite. We also consider the complete universal space-time continuum to be literally endless in all spatial directions via the void that should logically surround The Crunch border. It was also discussed in this thread.
