Super Weight

So, your character's Power Level is off the scale. That's just swell! Too bad it doesn't actually mean anything. Therefore, the contributors of the wiki have created a "scale" to measure a character's power. The Super Weight scale doesn't quantify power by Random Power Ranking using arbitrary numbers, but rather categorizes characters into nine broad categories based on what a given character can do.

It's not uncommon to see characters all over this scale in a setting, nor is it unheard of for characters to change Weight Class during the course of a story, whether up or down. Characters that have won the Superpower Lottery will usually end up on the higher levels of this scale.

When editing lists, remember that the weight classes measure the scope of a character's abilities — what the character is literally capable (and incapable) of with their raw power alone. While people like Batman and The Doctor have been known to take on gods, they do so with intellect and tactics rather than raw power, and thus remain low on the list relative to their defeated opponents. Thus, defeating somebody does NOT necessarily place a character at or above the opposing weight class, although the greater the disparity between the subjects, the more the defeat qualifies as an example of Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?.

Likewise, as these are broad categories, remember that it's entirely possible for one character to clearly be stronger than another character within the same weight class. Simply being within the same tier in no way implies being identical or even especially close in power, just that they're closer to each other in power than to characters in higher or lower tiers. This is generally more likely to happen with higher-tier characters, but by no means is that always the case.

Also note that this is not a place to be Gushing About Characters You Like; when adding examples, make realistic assessments of their weight class according to the scale.

Weight Class	Description	Example Traits and Abilities
Muggle Tier
Fragile Weight	Can't do things muggles take for granted. More Some have next to no combat ability and may even die if left alone for too long. These characters may rely extensively on luck, outside help or constant vigilance (assuming they aren't a burden in the first place). Note that merely being The Load or dying often doesn't put you in this weight, nor does being annoyingly dependent. This weight is for characters that are physically (or mentally) undeveloped/handicapped and cannot do what the average adult human can do.	Mouse World, Tag Along Kid, Delicate and Sickly, Made of Plasticine, Nearly Normal Animal, Companion Cube, Pathetically Weak
Muggle Weight	Indistinguishable from Real Life humans. More They tend to be Innocent Bystanders and (you guessed it) Muggles. Though not necessarily humans, they should be close to normal people in ability.	Ridiculously Average Guy, Action Survivor, Unfazed Everyman, Non-Action Guy
Iron Weight	Made of Iron Badass Normals. More  Characters who can push the upper limits of what a human is capable of. They may have gotten Training from Hell, or are experts at martial arts, Good Old Fisticuffs, Gun Kata, Le Parkour, Improbable Weapon Usage and the like, or is part of the Red Shirt Army. Basically, this is a character anyone could become, bar the setting. However, note that characters don't need to be humans to be put here. This weight is also for any natural wildlife that could take down an unarmed human single-handedly.	Badass Normal, Action Hero, Non-Powered Costumed Hero, Real-Life Super Powers, Bears Are Bad News
Super Tier
Extranormal Weight	Superhuman traits, but otherwise comparable to normal humans.More  Their abilities are generally very specific and limited and may be useless in some situations, rendering the characters just as helpless as normal un-powered humans. Usually, characters of this type lack the Required Secondary Powers to optimize or protect themselves from their own powers. Perhaps their only powers are to cancel other powers. Most of the time, their ability is something we can mimic or even surpass using common science or low-grade cybernetics. Muggles and Irons that are Beast Men or Cyborgs may also end up here.	Beast Man, Anti-Magic, Power Nullifier, Single-Power Superheroes, Inept Mage, Super-Soldier, Useless Superpowers
Super Weight	Characters with powers or Functional Magic.More  Their powers, even if they are limited, may be used in a variety of ways, and tend to have Required Secondary Powers. Most of your run-of-the-mill Super Heroes, Shounen characters, and Mages will likely start here, possibly being pushed higher as they continue their adventures.	Magic and Powers, Our Mages Are Different, Our Monsters Are Different
Hyper Weight	Persons of Mass Destruction.More  These characters typically can cause, stop, or reverse large scale disasters. Some can also break the laws of or flat out warp physics with their powers. A protagonist of this weight (or higher) risks becoming a God-Mode Sue, because their abilities tend to be story-breaking, making it difficult to give them a plausible challenge. That said, a protagonist at this weight can have engaging adventures, the author just has to be careful to scale the Sliding Scale of Villain Threat accordingly.	Person of Mass Destruction, Person of Mass Construction, Flying Brick, Weather Manipulation, The Archmage, Semi-Divine
Cosmic Tier
World Weight	World-class power. More These characters can affect a world or dimension (such as Earth or others comparable to it in size) either positively or negatively, or may even be a manifestation of a planet, with all that implies. Reality Warpers powerful enough to create or alter such worlds also go here. Many villains end up here, especially if they're trying to Take Over the World or are Omnicidal Maniacs, though you will find their opposite in the Messianic Archetype.	World-Wrecking Wave, World-Healing Wave, Earth-Shattering Kaboom, Planet Destroyer, Genesis Effect, Physical God
Cosmic Weight	Characters with cosmic-scale powers, ranging from multi-planetary to multiversal. More Characters that are this powerful aren't so much characters as forces of nature, wielding power beyond observable human science. As a kind of Cosmic Entity, they may be a Reality Warper with Reset Button abilities, an Anthropomorphic Personification on a cosmic scale, a Celestial Body, or a Sentient Cosmic Force. These characters often go about their business in the universe, unaffected by traditional conflicts, for better or worse.	Cosmic Entity, Sentient Cosmic Force, Anthropomorphic Personification, The Powers That Be
Author Weight	The Author or Capital-G God. More Characters in this weight class are absolutely Omnipotent and likely Omniscient. They are capable of exerting their will on all of reality, including the entire universe, the complete totality of the multiverse, the basic foundational elements of the setting, and/or even the plot itself without exception. Destiny/Fate is their play-thing. They cannot be killed/destroyed by any means. Any limits they have are self-imposed. While this weight is almost always reserved for God, the Author, and the Game Master, characters can be written for at this level. Just don't expect it to be a normal story. As a result, a character at this level is fairly rare.	Author Powers, The Omnipotent, God, Game Master

Compare Character Tiers, which is this in terms of usefulness in competitive play, and Sliding Scale of Villain Threat, which assesses the danger level of villains.

Please make sure that there's at least four rankings before placing a work in a respective subpage or folder. Examples of works whose characters are all level 0 are as meaningful as people sitting on chairs.

Visual Novels

• Nasuverse^note Decoration Disorder Disconnection Visual Novel is probably not connected to the Nasuverse, but it is listed here for convenience.
  • Fragile Weight: The Dead.
  • Muggle Weight: Ordinary humans, Mikiya Kokutou.
  • Iron Weight: Ryougi/Nanaya Shiki (without their Mystic Eyes of Death Perception), Fujimura Taiga, Souichirou Kuzuki, Soujuurou Shizuki^note though these two have a habit of ripping apart beings as high as Hyper Weight.
  • Extranormal Weight: Most Mages and Executors, Fujyo Kirie, Shirazumi Rio, Shirou throughout most of Fate/stay night.
  • Super Weight: Most Phantasmal Species and Spirits, Ryougi/Nanaya Shiki (with MEODP), Asagami Fujino, Dead Apostles, Arcueid during Tsukihime, Tohno Akiha, Tohno SHIKI, Heroic Spirits/Servants with little or no magical abilities, Shirou with Archer's arm.
  • Hyper Weight: Transcedent Phantasmal Species and Greater Spirits, entities with Reality Marbles, Daemons, Counter Guardians, Araya Souren, True Ancestors, most beings in the Dead Apostle Ancestors list, Lorelei Barthomeloi, Kouma Kishima, Servants with high magical abilities, most humans and A-rays during Angel Notes^note most of them can casually cause nuclear-weapon levels of destruction without effort.
  • World Weight: Arcueid normally, True Daemons, practitioners of True Magic (includes Aozaki Aoko & Zelretch^note with the right circumstances, they are able to defeat even the Ultimate Ones among the Cosmic Weight below), the Holy Grail, Divine Spirits in general, most powerful Servants (examples include Gilgamesh, Karna, Enkidu, and Solomon), BB, Heroic Spirits summoned by the World/Grand Class Servants^note summoned this way, they are much stronger than they were in life, Sefar/the White Titan, Abigail Williams as the Silver Key, the weaker Lostbelt Kings (Ivan the Terrible, Scathach-Skadi, and Qin Shi Huang Di).
  • Cosmic Weight: The Counter Forces (Gaia and Alayashiki), the Aristotles/Ultimate Ones/TYPEs, Ado Edem, Origin of the Void/「Shiki Ryougi」/Shiki's Third Personality^note her deep connection to the Root grants her omniscience and nigh-omnipotent reality-warping abilities, but Word of God states her combat ability only allows her to fight Servants defensively, and her reality warper powers are noted to be above "Primordial Demons" or True Daemons and right below Arcueid as her true self (ARCHETYPE-EARTH). This is also discounting Servant-like entities such as the Beast of Calamities, and she herself states in Fate/Grand Order that she isn't as powerful as the true "Beast of Alaya" which she is currently acting as. As such, she is somewhere between World Weight and Cosmic Weight, ARCHETYPE-EARTH^note an Ultimate One in her own right, the Beasts of Calamity/Evils of Humanity^note Fate/Grand Order states they are threats which require seven Grand Servants to combat when fully manifested, and their powers can transcend timelines, Velber/the Umbral Star^note its mere presence in Earth's galaxy awakens Altera and triggers a "quantum timelock" - an effect which cuts off the branching of timelines and turn certain events into immutable facts across all timelines on Earth. The only other entities which can trigger this effect are the Counter Forces, Akasha the Root of Creation^note although it was long thought to be the source of literally everything in the Nasuverse and records the past, the present and the future, Fate/Grand Order shows the Outer Gods do not come from and are unaffected by the Root, being from "another reality". At the very end of the universe when everything returns to the Root, Outer Gods still freely roam around. However, the Root is still the source of everything else in the Nasuverse, Outer Gods^note the limits of their powers aren't clear, but they don't appear to be truly omnipotent, Abigail Williams and BB as vessels for Outer Gods^note mortal vessels of Outer Gods cannot fully access the source of their powers without serious consequences to reality, which keeps them at roughly a Beast of Calamity's level of threat, the stronger Lostbelt Kings (Arjuna Over Gods, Zeus), Ishizue Kanata, Ookumaneko Mokumoku^note the last two are from Decoration Disconnected Disorder.
