Frank West: It doesn\\\'t matter how trained someone is. Iron weight describes people who are tougher than the average person and is able to perform feats of strength or skill that are above and beyond what most people could do. Regardless of how you look at it, Frank West is outright fighting the characters in this game. Unlike an \\\"ActionSurvivor\\\" like Ellen Ripley, he isn\\\'t merely running away or avoiding the danger, but facing it head on and doing a pretty effective job at it. That\\\'s the difference.

Tron: Her machine can breathe fire, throw boulders, drill people into ground, shoot projectiles, leap Hulk-like distances, and is shown in the animated cutscenes to be able to match Super Skrull (who is as strong as The Thing) in brute strength. If Iron Man\\\'s PoweredArmor counts as a Type 3 while Tony has no notable superpowers to speak of, there\\\'s no logical reason Tron shouldn\\\'t be at \\\'\\\'least\\\'\\\' a Type 2.

Hsien-ko: Type 3 isn\\\'t about the scope of power. Type 3 is about the \\\'\\\'number\\\'\\\' of abilities. In fact, we\\\'re discussing this in the TRS thread right now and I pointed out that Spider-man has no business being listed as a Type 2 when [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Peter_Parker_(Earth-616)#Powers_and_Abilities he has an entire list of abilities]] that is just as lengthy as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman#Complete_List Superman\\\'s]]. The SuperWeight thread explicitly says that it\\\'s not about \\\'\\\'scale\\\'\\\', but the power \\\'\\\'set\\\'\\\'. Hsien-ko\\\'s set of powers (shapeshifting, super-stamina, air-walking, teleportation, weapon-generation, armor powerup, sonic-emission, hand-blades, etc.) should be noted on their own, \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' when compared to individuals like Hulk and Ghost Rider.

Sentinel: All robots are not created equal. Also, we\\\'re not supposed to be considering what power scale the characters are \\\'\\\'in their home series\\\'\\\'; remember, only the stuff we SEE in \\\'\\\'MvC3\\\'\\\' is supposed to be listed. Again, if Iron Man (who is essentially a guy in a mechanical suit) counts as Type 3), then we have Sentinel, who has energy projection, enhanced strength, flight, super senses, extendable limbs, enhanced durability (compared to \\\'\\\'humans\\\'\\\'), invulnerability (Hard Drive is the most invulnerable move in the game), a force field, and the \\\"ability\\\" to summon robot minions from seemingly nowhere. Again, Type 3.
