Right, but what I\\\'m getting at is that there are things called \\\"chain reactions\\\" and \\\"force multipliers\\\". Superman (depending on the version) can destroy a planet-sized object, but the instance I\\\'m talking about involved him causing chain reactions to do it for him. If we knew nothing else about the character, would that make him Type 4 or Type 5? It\\\'s hard to say, right?
As for regular Helicarriers, as I said before, Type 3 is stated to be at a level somewhere between Mr. Fantastic and Poison Ivy[[note]]Well, most versions of her.[[/note]]. What makes a Type 3 isn\\\'t necessarily the amount of force they use; it\\\'s the fact that they possess a variety of powers and secondary powers. Type 4 characters are able to produce radical effects upon I\\\'d say roughly an entire neighborhood or a few city blocks. A Hellicarrier, considering the mere size alone, could wipe out a city block or two just by ramming into them. And that\\\'s not getting into the onboard weapons and stuff like that.
Also, you unintentionally bring up \\\'\\\'\\\'another\\\'\\\'\\\' problem that came up in the previous TRS thread: not all powers are destructive, so we can\\\'t judge the scale strictly by \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\', either. Because this page is attractive to people with SmallReferencePools, it\\\'s really tempting and easy to always think of it in terms of physical gods fighting it out with megaton punches, wave motion beams and destructive blasts. But, there are far more uses of power besides that, including powers which are creative, or add things, without destroying anything else, and powers which perform non-physical effects such as telepathy or projection.
