    I stand corrected. Midnight Sun doesn’t rock a trenchcoat. It’s a grey cape with a big ole popped collar. And he works it.

    And I was wrong about the Contemplator. Apparently Cap'n Reptyl chomped the brain of a skrull impersonating the Contemplator. Jeez, even older Marvel continuity is complex.

    I meant in the sense she's not out of place among them or at least not an actual superhuman statewide

    Pre-crisis characters had wacky power levels. They'll most aleays win over non Pre Crisis characters. Every other version of Karate kid probably couldn't even beat Mandarin.

    Even with the Crisis switchover being a bit screwy with Legion generally, I don't think this is true.

    Outside of the Rings, Mandarin does not consistently have the stats to hang with Val in most incarnations.

    She knocked Thor out with pressure points, I think.

    That puts her squarely in the ‘Out of Place Among CBPHers’ crowd.

    It puts her out of the league of Danny and Shang, who are both out of the league of CBPHers.

    I always thought the rule of thumb was every iteration of Val could fight his contempary version of Superboy tto a standstill, if that's true I think any Val could handle mandrin.

    She's in the crowd of being within what's considered normal possible human stats or just over them though, just like Val.

    Tend to agree with the above myself, though most of the time Val fighting Superboy to a standstill ended up with '...then Superboy got serious.' Even so, his feats general place him well-above Mandarin's head.

    Ah, yeah. In that sense, technically, yeah.

    She’s quite Vargas-like in her peakiness.

    She also does stuff that exceeds bullet-timing and gets into low-level speedster, like 'run across a large distance to shove someone out of the way of a shotgun blast, after the shotgun is fired', or so I'm told. So....

    Yeah, which is what I think we’re getting into. She’s supposedly somehow human level stats... but not. At all.
