Anonymous asked:
How accurate are the Handbooks in comparing characters be it in strenght, powerset or overall raw power? Do they actually match with what we see in the comics themselves? i mean, we have Hulk, whose strenght and power is basically infinite, having a 7, but then also other beings like Thor, Sentry, etc have a 7, while they are not "the strongest one there is" and have been overpowered by him before. shouldn't then they have a 6, reserving 7 for Hulk and skyfathers or similarly omnipotent beings?

The Handbooks base their assignations on the evidence presented within the books.
I can see that you’re very invested in the Hulk being able to whomp on everybody else. but as I’ve said in the past, we’re not going to do a lot of battle boards stuff here. Just understand that I am more concerned with telling stories than I am with any one character being able to walk all over all the others.
Except Squirrel Girl, of course.
Squirrel Girl is, by Marvel’s official method of measurement, the most powerful character in all capacities.
And I will always love her for that.
