Super Weight: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

So, your character's [[Power Level]] is [[Memetic Mutation|Over Nine Thousand]]. That's just swell! Too bad it doesn't actually ''mean'' anything. Therefore, we here at ~~[[TV~~ Tropes]] (having nothing but free time and a whole lot of boredom at work/school) have created a "scale" to measure a character's power. The [[Stock Super Powers|Super]] Weight scale doesn't quantify power by [[Random Power Ranking]] using arbitrary numbers, but qualifies the relative power level into nine broad categories based on what a given character can do.

So, your character's [[Power Level]] is [[Memetic Mutation|Over Nine Thousand]]. That's just swell! Too bad it doesn't actually ''mean'' anything. Therefore, we here at All The Tropes (having nothing but free time and a whole lot of boredom at work/school) have created a "scale" to measure a character's power. The [[Stock Super Powers|Super]] Weight scale doesn't quantify power by [[Random Power Ranking]] using arbitrary numbers, but qualifies the relative power level into nine broad categories based on what a given character can do.

It's not uncommon to see characters all over this scale in a setting; or for them to change Weight Class during the course of a story, [[Super Empowering|up]] ''or'' [[De-Power|down.]] Pure power isn't everything either; a [[Guile Hero]] or antagonists can beat an opponent that's more powerful than them with clever tactics and forethought. ''Thus, defeating somebody does NOT mean that you're a higher Weight Class than your victim'', although the greater the class difference between the lower weight victor and the higher weight victim, the more the defeat qualifies as an example of [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]].
