  1. Of all those suggested, Robert Gibson has the most name value, and turning him heel to be teamed with old tag partner works best. Or, you could bring in Ordnorff. Plenty of name value there too.

  3. <p>Kazimer is a poor choice, nothing going</p><p> for him but a look.</p><p> </p><p> Jerry Lynn was a great talent but he's</p><p> too green to mean anything at this point.</p><p> </p><p> Steamboat has potential.

  4. <p>How about some greats from the past:-</p><p> </p><p> Nick Bockwinkel</p><p> Harley Race</p><p> Terry Funk</p><p> Gorgeous George</p><p> Buddy Rogers</p><p> Bruno </p><p> The Destroyer</p><p> </p><p> Thanks!</p>

That could potentially see him go up against a guy like Thanos 1 on 1... that's not right to me.<p> </p><p> Maybe the perfect solution is mixing popularity and power when deciding ingame popularity, it's just hard to find a consistent formula for that...</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Eh, no.</p><p> </p><p> You get where I said powers <> popularity?</p><p> </p><p> You also get where Cap tops out about 600 for everything while Thanos tops out at 900 +. In addition to Thanos having a ton of powers that Cap doesn't.</p><p> </p><p> Huge difference and if you can't see that...</p><p> </p><p> Popularity = how recognisable a character is and how well regarded\respected. Icons are Cap, the Fantastics, Doom etc. You could argue Thanos is up there, but you basing it purely on power is completely and utterly wrong.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> You don't think for example that the Hulk is instantly more recognisable than a similarly powered Blue Marvel, Gilgamesh, or Kruse? Because by your standards, just because their physical power match or even exceed the Hulk you'd have them higher up the popularity scale.</p><p> </p><p> Does not compute.</p>

Secondly, popular <em>where</em>...? On earth? If so, then yes, Thor is certainly FAR more popular than Beta Ray Bill. In fact, Beta Ray Bill would have to be very low on the list. Who on earth knows much about him? But then Thor would be able to pretty much kick his ass all the time with little effort, due to the advantages given by having a high popularity, which just wouldn't be right - since, as you said yourself, they have the same powers.<p> </p><p> Also, why should earth necessarily be the template for popularity? I'm sure Beta Ray Bill is probably better-known than Thor in many parts of Cosmic Marvel. And take Spider-Man, a far more popular character than a basically unknown such as Gladiator from the Shiar Imperial Guard. But should Spider-Man then get a lot more rolls than him and thus be able to best him in combat? I really don't think so, no...</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Also, since popularity is used to determine who the characters/teams are likely to face (as I understand it), power levels should definately be taken into consideration imo.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> So Thor hasn't had dozens of adventures in space with the Avengers?</p><p> </p><p> Far better known character.</p><p> </p><p> Popularity isn't popularity per sae, it's how well-known a char is to a) the world in general and b) the other metas specifically. For example, someone like say Captain America is very iconic, one of the world's most recognisble figures and a leader of the Avengers despite being relatively un-powered.</p><p> </p><p> While by comparison, Blue Marvel (not a 90s char but the best example I can think of), is up there with Thor, Superman etc., but doesn't mean spit as regards being recognised.</p><p> </p><p> Power <> Popularity.</p>

Except maybe for characters who may be powerful in 1991 but are not yet very well-known. Especially legendary and iconic characters should be limited (although not to as few as in the default database, on the grounds that the Marvel Universe is a lot bigger).</p><p> </p><p> I'm thinking something like this:</p><p> </p><p> Iconic characters:</p><p> Only the very strongest characters in the entire universe... like:</p><p> Galactus, Thanos, The Beyonder, Phoenix, etc.</p><p> </p><p> Legendary characters:</p><p> Characters who on their own can be a major threat to most worlds when really p-ed off, but rarely threats to the entire universe as above... like:</p><p> Silver Surfer, Hulk, Apocalypse, etc.</p><p> </p><p> Major league:</p><p> Important and well-known characters who may be close to legendary characters but not quite there. These are the top of the crop of the earth-born heroes and villains with a few legendary exceptions... like:</p><p> Professor X, Thor, Magneto (or should he be legendary...? I'm undecided), Dr. Strange, Iron-Man, Captain America (mostly due to status, not powers), etc.</p><p> </p><p> Renowned:</p><p> Big characters who are not quite major league... like Spider-Man, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, etc.</p><p> </p><p> ...and so on.</p><p> </p><p> Thoughts? Comments? Critique?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Doesn't look right to me at all, sorry. But I'd be basing popularity on nothing to do with their power levels, it's how they're viewed by their fellow heroes and the populace of the world in general.</p><p> </p><p> For example, Beta Ray & Thor are roughly the same power. And yet, Beta Ray is far less well known in general than Thor. You're not suggesting because their power levels are similar they should have the same popularity are you????</p>
