Background

Marvel Comics is a comics publishing company and one of the "big two" when it comes to Superhero comic books, alongside their competitor DC Comics. Founded in 1939 it was originally known as Timely Comics and created Superheroes such as The Original Human Torch, Namor and Captain America.

However it was only in the 1960s thanks to the creative renaissance from creators Jack Kirby, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. During this decade they created some of the most famous fictional characters of all time such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, The X-Men, The Fantastic Four, The Hulk and many more. This was when they changed their name to what we know now.

This period of time completely revolutionised the Superhero genre. Before this Superheroes weren't written to have much depth however Lee, Kirby and Ditko made their heroes as human as possible. As Lee liked to describe it "They had feet made out of clay" and paved the way for the humanisation of superheroes that we see nowadays. Marvel also tackled social issues such as prejudice and oppression in The X-Men and created the first black superhero, Black Panther.

Marvel is such a massive multiverse that their are thousands of variants of the superheroes, such as the Ultimate Universe that was created in the early 2000s. Because of how popular of an IP Marvel is, there have been multiple adaptations such as video games, books, television series' and many other forms of media. Most famously is the Marvel Cinematic Universe which is one of the highest grossing film franchises of all time.

Power of the Verse

Disclaimer: We haven't discussed how powerful the Heralds are so I will only write about the Street Tier heroes because their stats have been agreed with by staff.

The Marvel Universe is vast verse with a lot of characters with different levels of power.

The 'weaker' characters of the verse are mainly known as "Street Tiers' because they more commonly deal with lower-level crime which would effect their local area rather than a planetary threat. In terms of Attack Potency these characters have many feats and scaling that makes 8-A believable. They also have a similar number of feats that they all basically scale to which puts them at FTL in reaction speeds. Note that doesn't account for their travel speed which can majorly depend.
