So how much weight in pounds do you think Superboy can lift and how much do you think he could lift as Superman? Also how fast do you think he could move in both running and flying?
I'm trying to finalize the specific amounts of weight one can lift at the various categories within my game. Each category has a number corresponding to it to determine various information throuhout the game, such as:
What one can lift; How fast someone can move; How much it cost to increase a category within a given area of the game (such as the category of a power or attribute). It is also used to help determine experience points within the game.
Each thing a character can do (like lifting weight or movement) needs to be a factor of the category number. For example, say strength was measure in pounds x the category number for Super might be 150,000 lbs (15 x 10,000) or perhaps for a more normal strength, Average might be 250 pounds (5 x 50). Hopfully you get the idea of what I'm trying to do. Needless to say, I'm looking for a math expert who can help me figure out the chart for the Strength and Speed charts.
I'm planning on giving racial limits to the various sentient species within the game and for the typical non-super strength humanoid I was ranging from perhaps Weak/3 to Heroic/10. Thus
I'd like to keep this within a possible lifting/moving range that a comic book character could achieve without super powers, say perhaps up to 1,000 lbs. in weight? Run 100 yards in about 10 seconds?
After that, the categories are intended to go into high gear and be more for super powers, such as lifting 10,000, 100,000, even 1 million pounds, or eventually running like the Flash.
Why is this site acting goofy? The pictures shake back and forth when I log on and I have an impossible time trying to control the curser when I'm writing my post.
