| *'''God:''' This is the most common misleading name. Many believe that if someone defeats someone whose a god that must mean the character is automatically more powerful then other characters who have never faced Gods before or that the character who defeated the god is universal or above. This is completely flawed logic if the “god” in question has shown no feats regarding that. Many fictional verses use the term “god” to depict someone who is far more powerful than a standard human in strength granting them superhuman-like abilities, but not the full on universal/omnipotent power that’s associated with the Gods in various religions. One of the hugest examples for the term god meaning nothing in fiction is the character '''The Authority''' from '''His Dark Materials''', this is a character that is so weak that he would die if exposed to the wind, and even in his prime his best feat extends to creating a massive mountain. | | *'''God:''' This is the most common misleading name.

| *'''Ranks:''' Rankings in fiction can at times indicate power but at times do not automatically give sufficient power scaling. Two notable examples comes from, One Punch Man where Amai Mask is an A Class Hero yet stronger then many of the S Class Heroes, and the concept of bounties in One Piece where bounties could be increased not only due to strength but due to viciousness or political power, like when a kid Nico Robin was given a bounty of 79 million because the world government wanted her for her knowledge and not due to her actual power as a kid. | | *'''Ranks:''' Rankings in fiction can at times indicate power but at times do not automatically give sufficient power scaling.

| *'''Attack/Weapon Names:''' Generally attack names are considered hyperbolic and only are accepted if they do literally what the name says. An example of a hyperbolic attack name is Vegeta’s [[w:c:dragonball:Galaxy_Breaker|“Galaxy Breaker”]] [https://youtu.be/LKLYYfqDhgM which was merely an energy attack Vegeta used to kill Nappa], it did not destroy or “break” any galaxies. Another example is [[Varik (Halloween Hack)|Varik’s]] weapon the “planet buster” which is hyped to destroy planets, stars, galaxies, and even universes, yet in battle it does none of this. | | *'''Attack/Weapon Names:''' Generally attack names are considered hyperbolic and only are accepted if they do literally what the name says.
