Line 26:
* [[Power Levels]]: Originally, the OHOTMU measured the strength of characters by how much weight they could lift or press (the maximum was 100 tons.) This was later replaced with bar-type tables.
** [[Squirrel Girl]] has [[Parody Sue|maximum level in all stats]], but this is an [[Running Gag|in-joke]]; she has never shown such levels of power in the comics. Most of her victories against powerful villains have been [[Informed Ability|off-panel]], and the on-panel ones tend toward [[Silver Age|silly]] [[Affectionate Parody|contrivances]] rather than [[Power Levels]].
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Besides Gruenwald, the contributors to the website [http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/ ''The Unofficial Appendix To The Handbook Of The Marvel Universe'' [http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/\] did such a good job covering characters not listed in the official comics that Marvel actually ''hired some of them'' to produce the latest issues!
* [[Trope Maker]]: For the whole concept of doing superhero encyclopedias in comic book format, soon imitated by DC and other companies.
