Let's dust off something that's been sitting on the backburner.

From death_gone_mad:

Rank your pup in terms of scope, motivation, and powerlevel, per this post.

Comments

[innerbrat]

Hmmm.

Well, in terms of Scope:
1. Death (could possibly being down reality if he wanted.)
2. Korra (I do not want to think of an Avatar breaking the barriers between the physical and spirit worlds)

Then there's a bit of a gap, before:

3. Will, should he choose, can find anyone on the ocean at all.
4. Dinah has connections to bring you down anywhere in the world, if she was after you.
5. Teresa can go pretty much anywhere she wants.
6. Lawton has connections, and is pretty good at range.
7. Mel, for a slayer, is pretty limited in scope.
8. Renee
9. Mac
10. Marguerite, bless her.

I'm leaving out motive, because I'm not sure I can stick my pups on that scale.

Power Level (not that I've thought this out of anything:)
1. Death (he's Death)
2. Korra (nearly realized Avatar)
3. Teresa (#1 ranked Claymore)
4. Will (His powers basically consist of having a big boat, but it's a really powerful boat!)
5. Mel (yaaaaaaaay vampire Slayer!)
6. Dinah (Her scream can be used against Kryptonians, but it's all she's got.)
Normal humans, ranked by skill:
7.Lawton
8. Renee
9. Mac
10. Marguerite


Basikly, don't mess with Korra.

[aberration]

I'm just going to rank mine taking all three categories into account, and as applied to their respective worlds.

1. Asami
2. Marceline
3. (Though I haven't played her yet) Katara
4. Elle
5. Leslie (though I like to believe Parks and Rec will end with a flashforward to her as President of the United States)
6. Manny

[12goingon113]

EEEEE!

...er...um. As you were.

[gorgonfondness]

Oh, this is interesting.

In terms of motivation, I've got this:

1. The Knight
2. Mia
3. Lucas

Scope and powerlevel ranks are the same and will evolve the same way:

As they are right now:

1. Mia
2. Lucas
3. The Knight

But by the time Lucas has finished canon:

1. Lucas
2. Mia
3. The Knight

[12goingon113]

Scope
(Or: how far is there reach to get you)

Ida (because she's hooked into the internet)
Aang (because...AVATAR)
Splinter (because he has dimension hopping chalk at his command)
Bumi (because he has an entire fleet at his command)
The Loompas (they routinely make pacts with demons)
Mike & Raph

Motivation:
(Or: how likely are they to be coming after you)

Raph
The Loompas
Ida
Bumi
Splinter
Mike
Aang

Power Level
(Or: what it says on the tin)

Aang (don't make him angry, or take his bison. just don't.)
Ida (long range ballistic missiles , and if those don't work she's also packing the Middleman and his hopped-up-on-goofballs sidekick)
Bumi (with the entirety of the second fleet behind him)
Splinter (have you met his kids?)
Raph (who is in the second best shape of his life right now)
Mike (who is very very close to being in the best shape of his life right now)
The Loompas (without the element of both surprise and GOOD GLOD, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?! they're really just tiny people with big smiles)

[jjprobert]

Well, lets see.

Jack, if he's got a gun, which he does, often, then he's a definitely a local threat. His access to transportation certainly bumps him up to a regional threat and once he's made certain friends, he could be a worldwide threat. He's very much a reactive person, though. As a highly trained soldier, he probably gets a 2 on the power level scale.

I'm (once again) going to classify Max and Erik together for this. Personally reactive threats of a Power level 1.

Alfred is a local threat, being well trained with a gun. If he had enough reason to, he could become a worldwide threat, though. Again, he's a reactive man, rather than anything else. Age is against him, but he maintains his skill levels, so he's probably about a 1.5.

And finally, Bean.
At the moment, Bean is not a threat. Well, not a physical one, anyway. But, with his words, he is certainly able to influence people in his local area. He is completely reactive, but the main thing he reacts to is the threat of death by hunger, which is near ever-present. He is maybe a 0.5 on the power scale.
In the future, when he grows up, he's a worldwide threat. And a threat to worlds. He is very much in the Hunter category. And, what triggers his hunting instincts can change. Given the number of men under his command, not to mention his own physical prowess (and reputation), I'd reckon that Old!Bean classifies as at least a 5 on the scale.

So, in summary:
Scope:
Old!Bean (Multi-world/threat to the entire world)
Jack (Worldwide threat, more agile than Alfred, more places are accessible to him as a consequence)
Alfred (Worldwide threat)
Young!Bean (Hearing range)
Max (Personal threat, less reliant on others protecting him)
Erik (Personal threat)

Motivation:
Old!Bean
Young!Bean (Hunger is a great motivator)
Jack
Alfred (Alfred and Jack would swap positions depending upon where they are in Canon)
Erik
Max (Max will hop up above Erik on this when I get him through the next section of canon.)

Power Level:
Old!Bean (Well trained soldier, Men who'd jump off cliffs for him if he told them to)
Jack (Well trained soldier)
Alfred (Well trained soldier, Age catching up with him)
Max (Untrained civilian)
Erik (Untrained civilian, slightly older than Max)
Young!Bean (Untrained child)

[bjornwilde]

Ben Grimm
Scope - Citywide at least though it would take him a while,
Power level - Ben lifts 100 tons on a regular basis and a bazooka at point blank range tickles. This is all physical and short range so I'll give him a 7 or 8 ranking.
Motivation - None unless you are harming lives.

Val von Doom
Scope - Very close to a ten I would say. She can teleport anywhere in space and time and use her force fields up to line of sight.
Power level - See above. She may not have lots of raw power but force fields combined with teleportation and time travel gets scary.
Motivation - None unless you are harming lives.

Jessica Drew
Scope - City or regional. She is trained in disappearing and falling off the radar and knows how to stay hidden.
Power level - Mid-range maybe? She is more for individual targets but has blown up entire HYDRA bases in the past.
Motivation - Little unless you are harming or threatening innocent lives or her friends.

Hank McCoy
Scope - Short term, personal. Long term, global. Hank is wicked smart and could come up with something to threaten the world if he really wanted and had the time.
Power level - Much like above, short term, minor and straight fisticuffs but if he had the time and resources...
Motivation -

Thalia Grace
Scope - City block? Potentially she could be regional if she ever explored her weather gifts inherited from her father.
Power level - Mid-range. She is wicked with melee weapons and can summon lightening.
Motivation - Maybe a 3 on a bad day? She's a hot head but not evil.

Andrea Nash
Scope - City wide.
Power level - Let's see, trained and talented with all manner of firearms and ranged weapons, from medieval to modern and she can turn into a fast healing monster with three inch claws. 6-7?
Motivation - 3-4. She might not go for killing right out of the gate but she has/will threaten people with guns for minor obnoxiousness.

[varadia]

In terms of Scope:

Galadan (because of that one time he wanted to destroy reality, and now the fact that his actions impact a vast swathe of realities, including his own)
Diana (Reality-saving, existing across multiple universes, world-saving, and local efforts combined!)
Raven (Whim and necessity determine how much he cares, but he's helped affect worlds other than his own, plus making worlds and solar systems!)
Michael the Archangel (Her mandate is Earth, but she's got a lot of influence in the supernatural realm)
Nynaeve al'Meara (Her mandate is Randland, and she is instrumental in world-saving! Plus later on she'll be both Queen and Aes Sedai.)
X-23 (Has participated in battles against extra-terrestrials to protect local space, has fought against those that threaten an entire species, is avatar of Captain Universe sometimes, but not frequently.)
Dean Winchester (Has saved the world a couple times, but generally concerns himself -- and prefers to concern himself -- with individual local threats as a way of life.)
Sam Tyler (A cop.)

Motivation:

X-23 (Wants to protect everyone, everywhere. Kind of especially mutants, but really everyone.)
Galadan (Wants to control everyone, or be able to exert control on all planes of existence in order to make things go his way.)
Diana (Wants to bring vast changes to how people interact with each other, and to protect the innocent while reforming the guilty.)
Raven (Makes worlds, sets rules for how existence works, teaches, amuses himself by frustrating other people.)
Nynaeve AND Dean Winchester are tied (Save the world, protect their families and loved ones, taking care of innocents in different ways!)
Michael the Archangel (Saving her brother, taking messages from God, helping out individuals who need it. Convincing humanity to build a better Creator.)
Sam Tyler (Figuring out whether he's crazy or not. Getting back home. Dating Annie. Solving crimes.)

Power:

Raven (He cheats with reality on a whim, so probably high teens? He'd laugh at the Elder Gods, but mostly because he's crazy.)
Galadan (Can reality-hop, has influence over the andain who get everywhere, functionally immortal and really smart.)
Diana (Divine powers granted by gods, former Goddess of Truth, has allies all over the place, most highly powered or highly-placed, also I repeat lots.)
Michael the Archangel (Sword of entropy, command of the Host, some supernatural allies, flexible in self-definition.)
Nynaeve al'Meara (As powerful as a Forsaken, one of the most powerful current Aes Sedia, has friends in interesting places, will be a Queen, has done things with the Power re: healing that were thought impossible)
X-23 (Super hard to kill, very good in combat, lots of powerful friends and allies across worlds, avatar of Captain Universe on occasion.)
Dean Winchester (Best hunter, brilliant brother, awesome angel allies, awesome other hunter allies, best car, good combat skills, good practical engineering skills, world-saving potential)
Sam Tyler (Really good cop with some awesome if baffling friends.)

And there we go.

[inlovewithwords]

For all three, at their current ages:
1. Tavi
2. Henry
3. Lois

Once Lois grows up, she and Henry will probably switch places. But despite his being ickleness, honestly, he's currently got more impact on his immediate universe than she does.

Tavi is always Tavi.

[cameoflage]

If there's supposed to be a scale on that link, it seems to have been deleted.

Aradia blows Thurlow out of the water on Scope and Power Level; Aradia is a minor god whose domain is time, whereas Thurlow is simply a skilled human with pointy teeth. (Later in their canon they'll pick up some assorted supernatural tricks, but nothing terribly powerful.)

They're more evenly matched on Motivation (except when Aradia's dead). Both of them are quite driven.

[bjornwilde]

Oh that was my bad. As ideas get used, we delete them to keep track and I didn't do the math of it being a reference.

Think of each criteria as a scale of 1-10 with 1 being a normal human and 10 being godlike.

[herr_bookman]

On a scale of 1-10? Autor is a 0.5, primarily because he's focused on developing a power which he doesn't actually have to the exclusion of everything else, like weapons training... Or spatial awareness.

Scope, motivation, and power level fall accordingly.

[death_gone_mad]

Ooof too busy to answer my own question

For Amascut
Scope: She wishes she was a global threat, even an existential threat, but she mostly stays regional for some reason. Her students and disciples extend that at times to global, but that's them, not her.
Motivation: I forget how this went. She's more than a hunter, and more than a predator. But I remember not agreeing with the other categories. She refrains from killing out of boredom (at least it seems that way). She has strange motivations.
PowerHeck, she's a goddess, but the presence of other gods in opposition to her complicates things. Heck, I don't doubt that her ideas started to grate against even her world's god of war. Not even war, destructive as it is, should be eternal. My headcanon says the Bandos was fond of breeding programs. The only half-breeds in the game always involve some sort of Bandosian involvement. Which... no, Amascut ain't going to be happy about that.

[luvs_yogurt]

Oh dear. Hah.

For Gus:
Scope: Mostly local, if that. Pretty much the small bubble of personal space around him. Lower than 1.
Motivation: Happily low, 1... two if it's because of Shawn.
Power: He has the super smeller, and competent enough to hold a gun without hurting himself... probably. Uh... 1.

And Michael...
Scope: Global - at least a 9, if not a 10 though he's currently limited *somewhat* in his canon-scope since he was burned as a spy. If he could, he'd be Universal.
Motivation: Somewhat high, maybe a 6 or a 7. He goes out of his way to help others, even strangers, he perceives as victims or needing his help without concern for himself. But, he doesn't necessarily go out looking for it... frequently it comes to him.
Power: For a human without any sort of special powers outside of a quick brain and lots of training, rather high. Maybe a six or a seven. Add in ability to adapt well, work under intense conditions and good friends? Definitely high.

[bbq_platypus]

Well, this is late, but too fun for me to pass up.

Scope
1. Borgel: All of time, space, and the other. However, while he's on Earth, he seldom leaves his apartment.
2. Leela: Wherever the Doctor goes. This covers a pretty large portion of spacetime.
3. Kane: Global reach, extending from anywhere Tiberium exists. Has put out feelers into space. Far more reach on Earth than Borgel has, really.
4. Garyn (late canon): Regional, though slowly but surely creeping across the Inner Sea. Has contacts within His Majesty's Secret Service.
5. Caius: Extends throughout the province of Morrowind.
6. Tuco: Throughout the West.
7. Waco Kid: Local, throughout the town of Rock Ridge and beyond the fourth wall.
8. Garyn (early canon): Virtually none. A recently released prisoner with no connections other than a vague instruction to go to Balmora.

Motivation
1. Kane: Ascension. He's been working toward it for thousands of years. He will let nothing stop him - not even death.
2. Garyn (late canon): Kill Dagoth Ur. Save the world. Become what he is expected to be. Consolidate his power. Smash the Camonna Tong. Accept the fact that someone's going to come up with the idea that he should be king someday.
3. Caius: For the Empire, anything.
4. Leela: Courage and loyalty.
5. Tuco: Greed.
6. Borgel: Fun.
7. Waco Kid: It's in the script. Also, friendship and stuff.
8. Garyn (early canon): Just wants to avoid being thrown in jail again.

Power
1. Kane: Has enough power to conceivably take over the world and bring about the next phase of human evolution. Also apparently can't die.
2. Garyn (late canon): Major religious figure and living saint revered by an entire province. Holds formidable military and political power. Has unnatural physical strength and is immune to aging and disease. Pretty much in God Mode Sue mode, basically.
3. Caius: Imperial spymaster of Vvardenfell. No special powers, but pretty good in a scrap for a man of his age.
4. Waco Kid: Can shoot a gun faster than would be possible in any sane world.
5. Tuco: Feared bandit. Very, very good at killing people, yet has the good fortune to always be underestimated. Has a lot of money at the end of the film, though how he's going to bring it back with him is anyone's guess.
6. Leela: Formidable warrior. Not well-educated or well-connected, but clever.
7. Garyn (early canon): Good at fighting, though his strength has atrophied. Not much social standing, though.
8. Borgel: Just a humble tourist.
