Haha...always a possibility. I donno why but I've always been fascinated with a single power grid for characters from different companies. It has turned in to a bit of a obsession LOL

So many different publishing companies with a plethora of characters to appropriately place. I guarantee you that there will be a lot of disagreements with some comic fans but thats why I try for impartiality. Let the facts speak for themselves.

But you always do that anyway so that is not a surprise. I swear to the gods that if someone tries to put Conan in enhanced human without magical items, I will split a skull.

Wow you have no idea how much I love you stranger for this haha, curse those "official" power ratings which always downgraded my man Frank. However I have a bit of friendly advice/criticism, in regards to the new distribution categories in which you've made, which don't get me wrong are a vast improvement over before but, I've always had a little nitpick over energy projection being in itself only one category. To elaborate, there's a pretty substantial difference between say, Hellfire and 9mm rounds. Do you think there should be a split between magic (manipulation) based energy projection and conventional energy projection (firearms) so they wouldn't be grouped in the same category? Or do you think that this distinction is entirely unnecessary and unneeded altogether?

I do not think gunfire should be considered energy projection at all.
Weapon Mastery maybe.

When I said "gunfire" I was just giving one example out of many that would be considered "conventional weaponry" and thus wouldn't fall into magic-related or elemental maniplualtion or any "energy projection" of that sort. Iron Man's suit, Punisher's SHIELD and Skrull tech, etc etc these are obviously much more advanced but very much still grounded in the conventional sense, but yeah I guess your right these could also go into some sort of weapons category.

Things like Iron Man's armor project energy so I have no problem with that being in the energy projection category but I see your point.

True but so do most of SHIELD and Skrull tech, which are all just conventional technology at an advanced level. It is still different. A conventional gun fires a piece of metal, S.H.I.E.L.D. and alien tech usually fires energy.

A conventional gun fires a piece of metal, S.H.I.E.L.D. and alien tech usually fires energy. Yes but it's still the same idea-invented technology, which is still vastly more different than energy projection or maniplualtion in the magic or mutant based sense. What I'm trying to say is the source of "energy" is being projected from an external device (ignoring the current state of Iron Man's suit of course), and isn't internal, or a natural extension of oneself. See what I'm saying? (Btw if you haven't already noticed I'm basically kicking my own ass in trying to describe this haha)

I have some basic work done on the next couple of grids. I'll post them one at a time for comment and review before I go in to population mode on them (as I don't want to have to repeat work on them afterwards). First one up is Reaction Speed. Now this is seperate from agility but the 2 complement each other. It uses a simple factor - that of an average person - against which the characters are compared. Attachments:
