>>93064716>What's the difference between super strength and mega strength?This is something I cam across while trying to write a superhuman setting.
There's two possibilities either
1.Mr.Incredible's strength stat is uncapped and develops as he exerts himself or at least above what they can conventionally measure on earth and just showing it at max is the best way to convey that
2.These stats vary depending on who they apply to, that is Meta Man's strength scale is relative to humans, ergo at max it refers to super strength. Mr.Incredible's strength scale is relative to SUPERhumans, ergo at max it refers to SUPER superhuman strength, i.e. Mega Strength. That isn't to say everything else is on the superhuman scale but that the clarification beneath in POWERS might be to inform the reader that this can be the case.
After all if you think about it, and I thought about it, there's really nothing logically explaining the nature of the powers (even if genetics or radiation or gets involved it doesn't explain HOW the powers are formed and grow and limited, etc it's just an excuse why they're there) therefore there's nothing to say that just because a chart made for them indicates one thing that it must be like that for the character.I don't mean to say everything on the chart is meaningless, though it could be, more that as I stated before it depends on the tests. The technology they used to measure these things could be limited, therefore the results can only tell them what the person is capable of relative to the limitations of the machines or others they interact with not the person's upper limit.
I can't recall if there was a plot point to this in my story, but I do recall some people intentionally sandbagging so their charts would read false.
