I think he's at least as rich as Doom usually.
Certainly he's richer than Magneto has ever been.
He's basically Bill Gates w/ armor.
Scary...

Let's review.
Rogue can fly. She's super strong, and nigh-Invulnerable (Seriously, she really is. Look it up.). AND she can absorb people's powers.
Yeah, she really needed to be more powerful.

Remember when he GAVE an Adamantium shield to cap? It was pocket change.
Also, doesn't he pay for everything for the Avengers?
Batman doesn't even do that for the League. Cheapskate.

Who is this Superman you guys keep talking about?
The character I know has always been shown to have a keen analytical mind.
He's not just a big brute like Thor or Hercules.
I'm sure at his fortress he has experimented on the hows and whys of his powers.
If he were unable to trust or somewhat understand his powers, people's lives would be at risk.
Just don't ask me what

Doesn't this seem unlike Marvel to sell comics w/ cheesecake covers? I've also noticed the interior art is pretty bad, like all those independent comics that use this tactic.
Click on the enlarged image. Makes me question Frost's true gender.
Tom Jones would be so jealous...
:hot:

It's the same lame excuse Marvel gave Gladiator.
Byrne did power down Superman and make him more real.
Then DC allowed all that to gradually fade away.

I blame DC's editors. They're supposed to keep writers within set boundaries for the characters like Marvel generally does.

Ah, I figured it must have been around then. Thanks, Doc.

Even so, Marvel non-UN str heavyweights do indeed and always have lifted around 70-80 tons.
And they stand up to the Hulks and Thors quite well, usually.
It's DC that's stupid, not the MSH rpg. That's why their characters translate so poorly.

Yes, he's a mutant, but he's not an invincible Kryptonian. He can get clawed for example.
Speaking of which, when exactly did Wolverine paralyze him? I saw a reference to it in a recent issue.

Marvel comics has always listed their characters within those ranges, even in the comics themselves. Sure here and there a writer does something odd, but usually there's some pattern.
When the handbooks say over 100 tons, they don't mean 800,0000,000,000,000 or whatever superman benches.

Doc is the sorceror supreme and Magneto has to fight an entire team solo. They have to be powerful.
But both are physically basically human.

That and DC is about as consistent as Marvel lately.

How about a mutant w/ only one comic title per month? That'd be new.
Post #100!!!! Sweet.

It's DC, what did you expect?
Seriously, i just use Hyperion crossed w/ the Superman stats here.
Works fine.
However, w/ the new Supreme series out, perhaps one of the newer Marvel RPG's will list stats for Hyperion that you can convert more easily.
What conversion chart are you currently using?

I see your points.
Still, I'd go w/ a higher intuition.

I'd drop the Str a rank and raise the Int a rank, just based on what I've seen in the films.
I just don't see him benching 400 lbs.
And Am Intuition suits him.
No idea how he rates UN endurance, but I'm sure you've a good reason for it.
by Spirit
- Let's Talk Stats
That's what I figured.
Still, it seems of all the major characters w/ MN body armor, he rates it the most.
Ditto w/ Iron Will.

I like both explanations.
But I'm surprised Beast or Prof X hasn't given a lecture on the topic yet.
by Spirit

I think yours works fine. I don't see an explanation for the superhuman endurance though.

Always bugged me that Colossus is made of Osmium yet only has AM body armor.

That trend is mentioned once in a while in the titles, but it's hard to say w/o knowing the specific cause that creates mutants.
Used to be radiation, hence Children of the Atom.
Wolverine, Magneto, Prof X, Apocalypse and others disprove that theory.
by Spirit
- Let's Talk Stats
I agree w/ Cosumate. Iron Will is tossed around way too liberally at this site.
Also, I think one may need specific training for Resist Domination. The player's book doesn't say specifically say so, but it appears to be a rare talent judging by the Marvel Universe handbooks.
Both of these are hard to differentiate from natural Psyche or Endurance.
I'm no expert on LOTR, though.
