New Brevoort Formspring

Hi Tom, i'm kind of confused by the whole "ranks" thing of superheroes. so many of them have monikers like "the strongest one there is" the most powerful in the galaxy/universe", "Closed Fist of God", "Supreme Sorceror" and so that implies infinite power, or their being in a league of their own (and for some authors they ARE, at least in iterviews) and then, here and there, they are shown as easily beatable by "lower tiered" characters with not much reason outside of "we needed it to go so".
