Marvel uses the Power Grid system to quantify each of their character's relative strengths and weaknesses. If your character were scored on it, what would their rankings look like? Would they rate themselves differently from how you, the mun, would?
no subject
Intelligence - A solid 4. Anyone who knows multiple languages (which members of the Special Forces are required to do) has to be pretty sharp.
Strength - 3. Rises to much higher - possibly as high as 7 - when her power is at its most active (i.e. a loved one is in danger /a fallen Elder God needs to be beaten down).
Speed - 2. Though it's a fast 2, she's an athlete.
Durability - Somewhere between 2 and 3. Again, much higher, possibly max level, when her power is at its most active. She takes a full death blast from Shinnok in the endgame.
Energy Projection - 2. Shadow kick discharges energy on contact.
Fighting Ability - At least a 6. Possibly a 7, when powers are fully active.
Garyn:
Intelligence: 5. Knows several languages, a good alchemist, is able to navigate a complex political situation to unite the fractious Dunmer Tribes and Houses.
Strength: A low 2 fresh out of prison, 3 before gaining strength from corprus, 4 afterwards.
Speed: 2.
Durability: 2 at the start of canon, 3 at the end.
Energy Projection: Variable, depending on use of enchanted items. He has just enough magical ability to use a common fireball without enchantments, which places him at about a 4 by Marvel standards, but a 1 by Tamrielic standards. With enchanted items, he can command lightning, ice, fire, and pure damage, which based on my interpretation of the scale is a 6.
Fighting Ability: 6.
Raiden:
Intelligence: 6. Has knowledge of the magicks and structure of the universe. This isn't a measure of wisdom, because he makes a lot of fuckups over the course of canon.
Strength: I'll say 4 or 5? We don't really see Raiden lift heavy things, or try to, so I have no idea.
Speed: 7. Can teleport.
Durability: 6. Much lower when his energy has been depleted, however, as when Shinnok defeated him in canon.
Energy Projection: 5. Can project extremely powerful lightning, but that's only one type of energy, which means 5 is as high as it can go by this scale.
Fighting Ability: 7.
Sheogorath:
Intelligence: 6, bordering on 7. A Madgod knows many things.
Strength: 7. One time he burrowed into a Telvanni wizard's head and got him to lift his entire tower 50 feet in the air. Held a full 40 seconds before it dropped and killed everyone inside. Seems pretty strong to him.
Speed: 7. Teleportation.
Durability: 7. The Daedra are deathless.
Energy Projection: 7. He can kill you with a thought.
Fighting Ability: 5. He's only a master of a single style. The "kill you with a thought" style.

Jemma (who doesn't have a grid rating on the website whut):
Intelligence: 5 (she'd say 6)
Strength: 1-2
Speed: 2
Durability: 2
Energy projection: 1
Fighting ability: 1-3, depending on where we are in canon. Right now, so much 1.
Katya:
Intelligence: 2
Strength: Going on her own strength, 2 - pissed off and getting a boost, 4-5.
Speed: On her own, 2, with a boost, 3
Durability: On her own, 3... in a fight, with a pissed off Watch behind her...5-6
Energy projection: On her own, 4, with a boost... anywhere up to 5-6. I'd say 7 is Enchantress range.
Fighting ability: 5-6
Oswin:
Intelligence: 5-6 (Is there a word for total screaming genius that sounds modest and a tiny bit sexy?)
Strength: 1.
Speed: 1-2 (she's not an athlete, she's just not)
Durability: 2, for most things, but I'll give her a 3 for her ability to come out of a mental tailspin.
Energy projection: 1
Fighting ability: 1, unless we allow cyber attacks, in which case 5
Glorfindel
Intelligence: 3, though he'll often hide it behind flippancy or the 'dumb soldier' routine
Strength: 3 (though the title raises some eyebrows)
Speed: 3
Durability: 3, but he acts like it's 7
Energy projection: .... we're gonna go with 1, because I'm not sure how to quantify what he can do.
Fighting ability: 6, working on 7.
no subject
Briareus: INT-2, STR-4, SPD-3, DUR-3 (or maybe 5 if you count his armor), EP-2 (I have a hard time believing he doesn't have some sort of taser), FA-6. I think he'd agree with me, though might up his fighting ability.
Quinlan: INT-3, STR-2, SPD-2 (3 with Force usage), DUR-2 (3 with Force usage), EP-3 (Force lightening!), FA-6. I think he'd agree with my assessment also.
Selina: INT-4, STR-1, SPD-2, DUR-1, EP-1, FA-3. She's just a kid after all. I think she'd up her INT score, tbh.
Hank: INT-6, STR-3, SPD-3, DUR-2 or 3, EP-1, FA-2.
I may do the others later.
no subject
Strength: 2 - Normal
Speed: 2- Normal
Durability: 2 - Normal
Energy Projection: 1 - None
Fighting Ability: 4 - Experienced fighter
no subject
Also, I need a new Milliways icon...
Eriond:
Intelligence: I'd say 4.5 with side-trips into 7 because mildly omniscient sometimes.
Strength: 2-3 when not cheating
Speed: 2 when not cheating
Durability: 7
Energy Projection: ...unknown but probable 7.
Fighting Ability: ...1 but he doesn't need it.
Henry:
Intelligence: About a 4
Strength: 2
Speed: 2
Durability: 2
Energy Projection: 1
Fighting Ability: 1
Lois:
Intelligence: 4 or just a bit over
Strength: 2
Speed: 2
Durability: 2 (ostensibly)
Energy Projection: 1
Fighting Ability: 4
Evelyn:
Intelligence: 4 (look, I play a type); she probably thinks 3
Strength: 2
Speed: 2
Durability: Frankly probably 4, she thinks 2 but what she'll endure...
Energy Projection: 2 right now, maybe? But eventual probable 5 or 6.
Fighting Ability: 3 for now, I'd say. Eventually ahahahahahahaaaaa 5.
Tavi:
Intelligence: 5 with occasional preternatural instinct.
Strength: 3
Speed: 3, maybe closer to 4 with flight but unclear.
Durability: 4
Energy Projection: Probably 6, given his end-of-canon furycrafting.
Fighting Ability: Somewhere between 4 and 6.
Now officially accepted, Anakin Skywalker:
Intelligence: 4 technically on paper (maybe even 5 in some areas, see droid skills and tactics), but what I would say and he wouldn't is that sometimes he's dumb as rocks and it's like 2 is being generous.
Strength: 2-3 unless he cheats with the Force.
Speed: 2-3
Durability: 3-4
Energy Projection: Probably about a 4.
Fighting Ability: 5ish
no subject
Intelligence: A high three or a four - She doesn't have much chance to show it, though, but she has a supernatural level knowledge of anatomy so she could be on the edge of 7 there, but that is a very specific area of knowledge. She also has a good head for aliases and fairly complicated schemes.
Strength: No idea
Speed: 7 - Teleporter, was able to go from one end of the universe to the other in a very short time (a day? a month?) Faster with her brother's help.
Durability: 4 and stubbornly so
Energy Projection: 6 if the various types of magic count (They seem to be abstractions of things? Like punches from the punch dimension?)
Fighting Ability: 6 and an inventor of a few combat forms. She even teaches some.
Fairy Fixit
Intelligence: 5
Strength: 2 - Normal in both (tiny)fairy and human terms. Zanaris Fairies are absurdly strong for their size but leverage is a problem for them of course.
Speed: 2- Normal in flight but she can build a teleporter in a cave from a heap of scraps
Durability: 1 - weak, likely
Energy Projection: 3 - fungal magic, could be deadly/virulent
Fighting Ability: 1 - not a fighter, more of a passive-aggressive type
Evil Chicken
Intelligence: 1
Strength: NA
Speed: 0 or 7 - either stands in one spot or teleports around, hardly anything in between
Durability: 7 - death is very a temporary thing
Energy Projection: 3 - some sort of wind magic?
Fighting Ability: 1 - magical strength is still considerable and potentially dangerous
