Power levels do not matter to most fans and should not matter in most creative works

Leave, please.

I don't know why you would think just repeating it would make me leave?

Eh, when it comes to superheros, I think power levels absolutely do matter. The nature and strength of various abilities is a large part of what defines the characters.

[(Anonymous)]

Hard disagree! What defines the characters is narrative logic, emotional logic and aesthetic logic. That can't and shouldn't be quantified in precise terms.

The reason that Spider-Man can lift a ton of mechanical wreckage up off himself to go save his aunt is *not* because he has some precisely-delineated level of strength that allows him to lift a specified weight. The reason he can do that is because the ability to do that - to push himself beyond physical boundaries to fulfill his responsibilities to the ones he loves - is a fundamental aspect of his character.

[(Anonymous)]

But the other reason he can do that is because he has superpowers that give him extraordinary strength.

The idea isn't that superheroes are defined by nothing but their powers; it's that the possession of powers is at the core of their characters, and it's what makes people choose to read or watch about them rather than read or watch other types of fiction. All fictional characters have a narrative and emotional logic to them, and many have as aesthetic logic, as well. The reason someone goes to see an MCU film rather than, say, Manchester By the Sea is because they want to see an action flick where powerful beings use their magical powers to solve problems and fight one another.
