Do Battleboard work on faulty basis? i think that they judge events without considering story context. In a story, Hulk beats savagely Thor, while in another one the opposite happens; in different stories, both have destroyed planets or destabilized dimensions in their best fights. i see both characters at their best as in the same "range", beyond class100 but not skyfather level, just short off; of course Hulk "is the strongest one there is", but his range of potential use is equal to Thor's...

Battleboards are inherently flawed because the people on them begin as the partisans of a particular character–they choose the outcome they want first, and then select only the evidence that supports that outcome, ignoring or hand-waving any evidence that does not.
So I do not believe that the average Battleboarder judges story content. If their guy is the Thing, then they’re holding onto only the evidence that says the Thing is stronger and better than anybody else.
