Builders Notes:
I had been sitting on this build for a few days, twiddling with it and what not.. Still not happy, but I think it portray's him well enough. Probably mostly because i have so little knowledge of the character itself to judge.

[JoshuaDunlow]

Odin, is probably next on my list.

[prodigyduck]

Odin, is probably next on my list.

Looking forward to it.

[Psistrike]

After you are done with the gods, dare you to do builds for Oberon and Titania from Gargoyles. Want to see how a 3-way fight between Zeus, Odin and Oberon would turn out.

JD’s Power Level Benchmarks
I decided to start with my Power Level Benchmarks once more, and I'm gonna try and it it into the 1-20 range. I have broken the tier's into 3 specific categories, though there is a fourth. Anything above level 20 is going to be really difficult. I am going to do my best, to categorize everything using this chart.

PL 1-4: Most Humans
PL 5-6: Skilled Humans, Low level superheroes
PL 7-8: Highly Skilled Humans, Moderate Superheroes
PL 9-10: Exceptionally Skilled Humans, Greater Superheroes
PL 11-12: Exemplars, Elites , Paragons, High End Superheroes
PL 13: Low level Cosmic, Demi Gods
PL 14: Cosmic, Lesser Gods
PL 15: Greater Cosmic, True Gods
PL 16: Exceptionally Cosmic, Greater God
PL 17: High End Cosmic, Major Gods Gods
PL 18-21: Universal Forces
PL 22+: Fundamental Powers

[Mike5000us]

Ooo Nice!!!! I can't wait to see how you build Odin. Can I make a request? Can you build a a true Universal force on the level of Eternity and Death?

PL 1-4: Most Humans
PL 5-6: Skilled Humans, Low level superheroes
PL 7-8: Highly Skilled Humans, Moderate Superheroes
PL 9-10: Exceptionally Skilled Humans, Greater Superheroes

PL 20: Universal Forces (Galactus, Atum the God Eater)
PL 21: Universal Forces (Death, Eternity)
PL 22+: Fundamental Powers (The Living Tribunal)

So for your revised chart does this look about right?

I'm Impressed! You have been keeping track ! lol.. I have honestly never heard of The Living Tribunal. But that looks about right so far. As for doing one of the Universal forces, I could probably start with Death.

After you are done with the gods, dare you to do builds for Oberon and Titania from Gargoyles. Want to see how a 3-way fight between Zeus, Odin and Oberon would turn out.

Actually I think one of our other Board Members, did some Gargoyle builds. I for one, am completely without knowledge on that subject.

Builders Notes:
The Korzan are a race of humanoids, which many humans might confuse with the more traditional appearance of demons or devils. Though they are not supernatural by anymeans. Their planet orbits around a binary sun , the constant radiation, and brilliant light of these suns, has granted them some unique abilities .

Dak`zon is one of the most powerful of his race, having the ability to channel and manipulate thermonuclear energy through his body.

Here's the latest addition to the atomik league, based on our very own SuperNova.

[Mike5000us]

Lol yes I have been keeping track. The Living Tribunal is basically the boss of the Marvel Cosmic Hierarchy and the most powerful observable being that multiverse. The only beings that outranks him is Marvel's version of God (The One Above All) and Thanos (with the Heart of Infinites). Hmmm Death.....I can't wait!

[Psistrike]

Dang, Super Nova is one of the powerhouses of the Atomik League. Also I found that Jab did the Gargoyle builds, Oberon is PL 14. Which fits because he was like a lesser god and lord of all his children.

[Super Nova]

That Super Nova is pretty cool man ty! When we talked I was wondering what you had in mind and I like it man.

Thank you.. He was one of the more serious build I did for the A.L. And I really like the build and background I set for him.
