    Dictionary updated with a variety of terms having to do with Ring-outs.
    Why are we here?

    "Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
    "...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
    "Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate

    Effectively, it's a term used to describe when someone can say, pick up someone else, and then throw them into orbit ... or do something else to remove the other person from the fight in a way they do not have the ability to return from; say via dimension dumping (dropping them into another dimension with an ability, etc), or teleporting them into the Sun, or some such. Typically we use it to mean that the person can't return to the fight under their own power, as well.

    So ! Examples:

    Hulk BFR'ing the Thing into space, would be an effective BFR.

    Hulk trying to do that to Nova (someone who can fly/operate in space) wouldn't be.

    Dr. Fate dumping Spider-Man into the Sun, would be an effective BFR.

    Dr. Fate dumping the Silver Surfer into the Sun, wouldn't be.

    Yeah BFR does not mean 10 count. Saw you said the bfr term was wrong.

    BFR is Ring our no way back.

    Ten count is just making other fighter unable to do anything, via typical knock out, trapped to point unable to do anything to stop ten count or if the person is immortal/super regen. Just blown to enough pieces that the character is inactive more than 10 count so win.

    That part depends on character. As some guys with maxed regen can like reform from puddles of blood or said blood drops become newly formed character in army of clones fashion.

    What does a "composite" version of a character mean?

    What does a "stacked" version of a character mean?

    What does a "stacked composite" version of a character mean?

    Examples of each of these Rumbles terms would be greatly appreciated.

    A composite version of a character is all possible versions of said character in one. A composite character gets feats from any version of itself.

    A stacked composite is the same thing but instead of taking the highest feats/stats from each version to define its attributes, the composite stacks so it gets the highest theoretical stat of all versions put together.

    A stacked character isn't a thing really, it might be used as a shorthand for the above term.

    So, for example, Composite Batman is as strong as the strongest version of Batman while a stacked composite is as strong as all versions of Batman put together.

    Thank you for explaining those terms!

    I'm guessing by best feats, one-time high outliers like golden age Wonder Woman towing the sun with her lasso, silver age Superboy sneezing out a galaxy, and Spider-Man vs Firelord do not count, correct?

    That's correct, to use the titular case; Composite Spider-Man would not be able to beat up Firelord.

    Well, technically he might be able to because Composite Spider-Man contains Captain Universe Spider-Man but that's due to actual legitimate feats rather than a version of Spider-Man operating wildly beyond his established parameters being in the mix.

    "Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
    "...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik

    here's my applications to this dictionary: One-shot and Quick-Draw
    whatever Scientists tells us what they believes are the only things that exists in Reality(our world), they treats what US government and mainstream news media said about things like 9/11, CO2 Emissions, and so on as their gospel

    calling Real Life Martial Artists that can break walls "Comic Book Peak Human" is like calling Pre-new52!Cassandra Cain "Shounen Manga character"

    Seems plausible for one-shot. Quick-draw is extremely generic, though, and I'll pass on that one. People seem to understand it without any explanation.

    Quick-Draw basically means "Both can win, it's down to whichever acts first", right?

    Pretty much. Like the (mostly false) image of gunfighters in the Old West.

    I’ve never heard anyone use the phrase ‘laser-timer’.

    And FTL reflexes are just reflexes that operate faster than light.
