Hello Exusiai,
I think you have done an outstanding job on the Marvel conversion write ups. I was just wondering why you gave Ronan a strength of 7 when its stated in the OHOTMU A-Z #9 that he can lift/press 10 tons without his armor? Lifting 10 tons falls in the 9 AP range, if converted strictly over pound per pound or ton for ton. But I don't think you could convert them strictly over without cheating many heroes/villains especially as they they get more powerful. For example Captain America physically would be equal to Deathstroke the Terminator. Shang-Chi the Master of Kung Fu would be equal to Richard Dragon or course there will be some small variations mental, mystical attributes as well as skills, advantages and disadvantages to set them apart. Like Captain America would probably have higher APs in Acrobatics, Martial Arts, Influence, Aura and Spirit than Deathstroke. Equating Ronan's Cosmi-rod to Big Barda's Mega-Rod makes sense. Now if he has the Universal Weapon as the Supreme Public Accuser I could see that getting scaled up closer to Annihilus's Cosmic Control Rod because it is a more powerful version of his regular Cosmi-rod. With his strength enhanced by his armor I think he would be like DC's Mantis. I think he is considered a cosmic threat because of the authority and resources that he has at his disposal as a very high ranking member of the Kree Empire. If you take away his Kree Empire rank and authority he would not be considered a cosmic threat. This is just my humble opinion.
