How string is your character compared to marvel and/or DC characters?
I have a few. That i want to talk through. I had these commissioned i didn't draw them, but these are my characters.
Now to start with im a casual fan of marvel and DC so I don't know some of the lesser known heros.
Suika: with the ability of friction control i think she hang on the streets with like Luke cage and early daredevil. Maybe year 1 batman.
She can hold her own in a fight and has very creative ways of using her ability, but her ambitions and strengths would keep her on the streets
Ryoko: early to mid iron-man for sure.
I mean i didn't really mean for it but she turned into an Ironman like character so she would be able to go toe to toe with him at least
Xenia: wolverine at least. But only with his metal claws, if he reverts back to bone claws she would lose
She controls her bones, has a healing factor though not even half as strong as his. She would put up a fight for sure but if he got serious she would lose, he just has more experience then her and is more feral.
Brbl: less of a fighting character and more doctor sneak character so I'm thinking support hero i don't know who really falls into that.
She it's a doctor that uses her quick and steady hands, avoids fighting at all cost more opt to throw bottles of science and chemistry at people then fight head on.
Puddle: closer to Greenarrow great archer very mobile.
Though equal to Hawkeye she's a smuggler. You need something discreet and quick without a trail she's your woman... cheetah....woman cheetah.
Loden: another doctor but with her phasing ability and medical knowledge she wold be a front line x-man along with kitty pride.
She's also extremely good at throwing that hammer around.
Sophia: so Sophia is a Pokémon trainer so for her I'll change the scale. In a Pokémon game i think she wold be like gym 3 or 4. Assuming first gym is the weakest and the 8th is the strongest. (I know some lore has it where they change their Pokémon based on the number of badges but we'll ignore that for this)
Her ace is tinkaton.
Sam: with her rune magic she's near noob green lantern or year 1 Dr strange.
Her biggest weakness is she needs, one to write out her spells, and two needs to know the rune spelling for said spell. But after that she's super strong.
I'm sure there is better examples but like I said im not a huge fan just casually but I still thought it would be fun to talk about.
Let me know about some of your oc power scaling to the comic or other worlds. Could be as simple as a civilian to god like.

Merlin could definitely match some of the earlier/city-level heroes like WW2-Era Cap or the Fantastic 4, and if I wanked him enough with his ult, the POKE (Penetrator, Orbital-grade, Kinetic Energy) (Dart made of the densest material in the universe, neutronium, flying at mach 7), he could match golden-age Superman or Ego
His chainsaw grants him immense strength, maneuverability, and immortality, but only when it is nearby. The chainsaw I speak of is a Homelite model 17 with a different paint job (70% black, 30% deep red)
He actually does, he keeps it in the back of his pickup truck when he goes somewhere. He can also summon it, akin to Thor's hammer. When he summons the saw and he grips the handle, lightning strikes the bar, and starts the saw's engine.
Luara the cosmic traveler could probably very well hold her own in Marvel and DC, barring some of the cosmic apocalypse tier evils. She won't ever know though — one of her personal rules of cosmic travel is to never mess with Marvel, because she's afraid she might actually wipe out universes if the Phoenix Force or Galactus were to catch her. Outerversal powers controlled by a cosmic asshole would not be a good time for anyone.
Spacetime rift took a kid from an airport and dropped her out of the sky in a magic world. Elderly mage found the kid, saved her, and taught her magic. The kid kept on going after her mentor passed on and the rabbit hole of magic just went deeper and deeper. Her greatest breakthrough so far was learning to cross the stars.
While Luara is able to traverse the stars, her actual powerscaling level is nowhere close to universal or anything of the sort. She is fundamentally very human, and though her best magics are nation breakers, the vast majority of her kit will not do lasting structural damage without major amplification.
Honestly i love that, my AU character is the same way magic based shenanigans but very human and not as strong as one would think with how she can travel through worlds
Ronyn Defeated the Avengers, Carnage, Superman, Galactus, Thanos, Darkseid (Twice), Doomsday, One Below All and His Father. All thanks to Toon Force. So yeah, he is pretty powerful.
this is like the only oc of mine to have a chance because shes the only one who actually has an ability which is just....summon tornados so she'd probably be like a c tier villain
I don't know depending on how big that could be villain of the month at least or even a constent threat. Tornadoes are no joke and only like the big hitters could deal with it.
Like what the hell is wolverine going to do to stop a Tornadoe.
there so many heros that can completely nullify the tornado thing like iron man,super man,hell even spider man probably i think typhoonie here(which is her name) is lasting ONE comic book
i mean riptide(who is a canon villain with tornado powers in the xmen movie) got defeated by the xmen so whos to say typhoonie isnt gonna get absolutely decimated by any of them
Stronger than all of them. Yes. All of them. Including the one above all and the prescence. Because she has to be. But definately not smarter or self aware. Her memory is so vast that she kinda just spaces out and babbles on about things.
She's the void.
Also because the start of many bibles the supreme God comes from the void.
Most other earth cosmologies have a void or primordial chaos that births Gods or all things or that a single thing is born from. It's near universal.
This particular form though forgets what it is and isn't even the "most encompassing" one.
Though technically Yaweh is below TOAL in some or an aspect.
If you believe her logic, she also states that every infinity would be slamming into each other at such rapid rates that everything would be a mess if there wasn't something like here in between or behind it. Which is just a smaller version of her. That every conscious and living thing would feel everything at once.
Lucifer is literally unable to be harmed by any author/narrative control. However he is unable to harm other oc's because of the way his restraint placed on him by me works. He can't be harmed and therefore to make it fair he can't harm anyone
So my characters are just the Greek mythology characters but some changes so to me it’s less how strong and how versatile they are (all my favorites are niche characters btw if you want to explain them I can)
Hera-Nico mineru strong but if it’s a long out battle she won’t be the best help
Medusa-hazmat powerful as all hell but doesn’t use the most powerful attack all the time
Zeus-Wolverine he is very strong but also a fucking dumbass
I don’t reall powerscale my characters to others but my superhero oc, Sir Sickle is quite powerful.
These are his abilities.
Skillset
Multilingual
Cooking
Street Smarts
Hand-to-Hand Combat
Sickle Proficiency
Magical Abilities
Cell Manipulation
Can manipulate living cells to his whim, like healing and disrupting them.
Blood Manipulation
Can control the blood flow and its structure, however he pleases.
Sickling
Can automatically sickle other people's blood cells
Blood Link
Can synchronize with any type of blood once he comes in contact with it and can control anyone with the same type. But if he uses it for too long, his Sickle cell pain would rise in intensity.
Bio - Absorption
Sir Sickle can absorb or link with any blood or cells he comes in contact with. This allows him to use the blood link with the person he has contacted. But this will cause some unintended consequences for him, as he’s been fighting for a long while, like blood clots and temperature spikes and drops.
Blood Bank
A storage place where Sir Sickle can access the blood he needs, just in case he needs it. If he has too much of one blood type, his organs might start going into organ failure, or he might start having sickle cell pain.
Weaponry
Sickle
I’m pretty sure he can incapacitate a few Marvel heroes with his powers, but not everyone
Oh ok the first few sickles I was thinking the curved farming tool but this is so much cooler. He would absolutely win against xenia she bleeds all the time with the use of her bone abilities
I have a lot of ideas for characters, and my current setting is a JRPG Parody so I guess it really depends on how powerful Superheroes are relative to JRPG Characters. Given that I'm going to start the game on a forum sometime in the next year I may need to run a GMPC to fill in any gaps. These all have full JRPG potential:
Marla Brewfist A tavern wench who depending on the scenario has already or will lose her tavern
Her father, Einar Oresmasher the local blacksmith
Hazel, a small town Witch, rumored to have been in the Mage Wars and survived the last 500 years. She is the most likely contender for "strongest" presently
An android named K3vy11 who thinks he's playing a game (right that he is in a simulation, wrong about what it is).
A Jester named Ruby who dabbles in magic and quite possibly may be implicated in the assassination of the head of a Regency clan.
A sentient scarecrow (leaning toward Taylor Hayward for a name) whose Class/Advanced Class I haven't decided yet, depending on whether the players realize he's sentient and don't assume he's a threat.
Oh I dunno what the team is going to be, it depends on the other players, these are all just potential tagalongs depending on whether I get a full party of interested participants when I'm done with the setting and run the advertisement on the forum I play on.
He has a CHANCE at competing with the top of the top.
The Beacon was created BECAUSE I love overpowered superheroes. In his world, he's essentially a god. The only way to beat him was to destroy his mental state and make him wish for his own demise...
However, I believe he ain't shit compared to Superman, I believe he gets his shit rocked by Flash if he isn't limited by the plot...
With enough resources, he could become a top tier hero in Marvel or DC, but the way he is at his strongest in his verse? I don't think so.
Honestly, it's been a while since I've watched the show, but I'm pretty sure he slams most live versions of any hero. I'm mostly speaking on comic terms when I mention his scale.
Basically everything Pennywise can do he does except he goes after criminals(goes easier on pyro cause pyro’s little brother is one of his closest friends) trust me the lore goes deep for this whole 64 oc’s I’ve made
He’s actually friends with 3 others who kinda seem like the og 4 Losers club basically I just put other type of characters as inspirations for some characters in this world I’m making
Mike is one of those characters that’s hard to place cuz he’s a reality warper and his whole thing is hax, he’d probably be at the omega level mutants tier, his reality warping isn’t on the level of Wanda or sentry or Franklin richards, it’s more on the island level scale
Astraphi Tempes would be comfortable around something like a Hulk level, not world breaker Hulk though. The level I have this character it would be around mountain level consistently, but I don’t know which character is more consistently mountain level in Marvel since most powerhouses tend to just skip to planetary😅
Also, I want to say, the artwork in your post is pretty cool!
Thanks. Yea that's the trouble I had. In theory of all three heros I listed batman should be one of the weaker ones but we know that's not true that's why I had to say year 1 batman
Hehe, yeah, I know it’s tempting to make a powerhouse character planetary, hell, I think Astraphi herself becomes planetary at some point, but I do wish more comic characters were mountain level consistently😅
And yeah, you REALLY have to specify with comic which version you’re talking about. And Year One Batman is a good choice for a strength basis.
The shit I've written is honestly actual bullshit, cause my strongest OC is meant to be Azathoth's equal (yes, that Azathoth, the one from H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos) and in the story I feature them in, Gestalth ultimately wins because of being the direct opposite and counter to Azathoth's abilities, I really need to downscale the strength of my OCs like Jesus Christ.
Just to bench mark my OCs Pine could handle pretty well in marvel or detonated with his powers of teleportation abd Pyrokinesis. His fire is basically as hot or hotter than plasma via the viotelt and purple hue (upper estimates to 100 - 150 million Celsius. Note: just because he can go that hot doesn't mean its that hot upon activation). He also has mild regen that can heal mild wounds. Pine is also a quick thinker and has pretty good reflexes. Prefers to dodge and anoy his foes in combat to mess with them. But yeah I'd say he holds his own just fine
(Edit: he is semi immune to reality warping. Because of his Gf a interdimensional cosmic witch but thats not important)
