How do you measure strength?

[Loki d]

Do you judge a character's power from the size of something they destroyed or the quality of what they destroyed? Do you look at techniques or sheer destructive power?

Character A can destroy a galaxy while Character B can destroy time n space, who is stronger?

Character D can control the five senses (perception of reality) while Character E can bust a planet, who is stronger?

Character X can negate and erase anything while Character Y can destroy a solar system, who is stronger?

Answer these questions

I just want to know what others think and how they think.

1. Yes.
2. Destroying time doesn't make sense, as time is a human construct. By space, do you mean like outer space? If so, then Character B is more powerful.
3. There are approximately 21 senses, not 5. Just a small correction. I'd say they're both strong in their own ways. Their powers can't really be compared. They could both beat each other under certain conditions.
4. Character X, obviously. X can erase anything, and that includes a solar system.

I don't physics enough but don't scientists (wizards) claim that there was no time before the big bang meaning that it's not a human construct? Also, time isn't constant so I'm going to say it's not a human construct.

OT: Character B, D, and X are stronger.

Destructive capacity is based upon AOE and mass destroyed. The thing is, decimating concepts is more of an hax ability, like Pre retconned beyonder for instance, atomisation and telepathy it depends on the character. Like Aizan gets shredded by comic xavier when it comes to sense manipulations

 

[Venomous Cobra]

1- I judge by the overall effectiveness of the attack

2-You can't destroy time.....and even if you were able to it will simply backfire ,and the same goes for char a......

3-Character D quite easily........

4-Character X can erase the entire existence of character Y...........

- Lel destroying time and space is way more powerful than destroying a galaxy that exists within a time-space

- Depends on the opponents they face.

- This should be obvious, the one who can negate and erase anything

B

From that view, it would make sense that there wouldn't be time because there wasn't anything in existence at that point. lol It is indeed a human thing (I think). You don't see animals or anything else abiding by it. Humans are the only beings to create clocks, calendars, et cetera, in an attempt to "control" or keep time. And I wanna say that time is constant but relative. I could be wrong about any and all of this, so meh.

Yeah, I'm not too sure I know what I'm talking about so I'll just stop, lol.

Well Time is something so it can become nothing

 

[Venomous Cobra]

Well Time is something so it can become nothing

Can you be more specific?is it something that exist naturally or is it something that we simply made up without realizing

 

[anuman]

I guess this is why "who have you beaten" becomes a second best criteria. To illustrate a similar scenario, you say A can negate anything vs B who can destroy anything, who would win? A priori, I'm not sure if there is a way of knowing who is stronger. Need to think about it. However, if A has defeated more high quality opponents than B, then, A can be said to be provisionally stronger than B.

Do you judge a character's power from the size of something they destroyed or the quality of what they destroyed? Do you look at techniques or sheer destructive power?

Both. Because someone that could, say, destroy a house made of tissue paper wouldn't be anywhere near as impressive as someone that could destroy a small container of solid steel.

Likewise for the technique vs destructive power. Because creative use of certain skills could be more dangerous.
If someone could blow up a continent with a big flashy DBZ style hit they would have massive destructive power. But if another person could teleport things and decided to teleport a massive chunk of solar matter right on top of the earth, they could effectively erradicate every living thing on it. So they didn't destroy it, but they brought about its destruction.

The devil is in the details.

Character A can destroy a galaxy while Character B can destroy time n space, who is stronger?

If both can effectively end everything that exists, then they would be at a tie. So who can do the job quicker? Can B do that all at once, or does it take time? Is A limited to just that one Galaxy, or can they keep going?

Character D can control the five senses (perception of reality) while Character E can bust a planet, who is stronger?

What limits, if any, does the sensory control have? Could they control E and have them destroy planets for them? If E is able to be controlled by D at will, then D is "stronger" even if his power is, in and of itself, not as destructive.

Character X can negate and erase anything while Character Y can destroy a solar system, who is stronger?

Answer these questions

I just want to know what others think and how they think.

Again, what limitations does X have? Can he erase EVERYTHING at once? Or does he have to go bit by bit? Is there a size limitation? Can Y destroy him for instance?


All in all, there is no one answer. They have to be able to be judged along the same kind of scale to even compare... and a number of your examples are either incomplete, or such disparate powers that there's no easy way to match them up.

Naruto characters all share the same world, and can be matched up reasonably well. But even with that, there are stipulations that need to be put out there to make it workable. Some characters have advantages or disadvantages that could make them win/lose against someone that would normally go the other way.

Character X can negate anything that touches him, so he has immutability and he can erase anything that exists to nothing so his limit would be something that does not exists.

Character D can control people's perception there is no limit unless Character E has shown resistance which this is not the case.

Character B can erase space and time with his attack all at once and Character A can destroy a galaxy in one shot

 

[Misconception]

Haxxed abilities>Destructive capabilities.

Aplaxx(Made up) Can make anything that has been used in existence useless. Drako(Made up) Has the power to destroy solar systems who wins?

Aplaxx would obliterate him.

You've basically set up X as literally unkillable and able to destroy anything and everything instantly. You cannot get stronger than that. Anything that doesn't exist would need to exist to kill him. So the moment it exists it no longer has any effect on him and is able to be erased.

There is nothing that can destroy such a being unless it WANTS to be destroyed or there is some completely illogical story/character BS that allows it to be killed.


D would be more powerful then in theory because he could control E, making E's destructive capabilities his own, or rendered useless. E could still kill D however if he destroyed him before he was aware of the danger.

And B is vastly more powerful if the scale is "all space and time at once". That isn't to say A couldn't destroy him, as like the D/E example, it would come down to who fired first. But B has vastly more destructive capabilities, and so long as they had even an instant of forewarning, could destroy A's attack, along with A and everything else that does, did, or will exist in one shot. (And A and X are almost the same power by the way).


But you've still set up some ridiculous powers to match up. Some are so unbelievably large scale and insurmountable there is no logical way they can be beaten in terms of a match up.

There is no good way to match up such disparate powers. Characters like the X you proposed would never lose in any logical match up, to anything, ever.

 

[Wabbit]

Idk about your questions but in Nuruto it is basically on how close he is to the power of the sage.

 

[RicardoA]

B > A. B can fully erase everything to the core. That seems better than any large scale destructive force.
E > D. Affecting reality and your surroundings > affecting the human psyche.
X > Y. Similar to A and B. Character X has an all powerful ability while character is just another explosion maker.

Now to answer the main question.
I take into account a character's apparent destructive force (raw power), their versatility and their portrayal.
