Great write ups, but a couple of quetions:

Is Magneto really a Science and Tech Master? I know he is good, but I'm not sure if he's on the level of Reed Richards (for Science) or Doctor Doom/Tony Stark (for Tech).

When did Sabertooth get adamantium? Also, I thought Sabretooth's Stamina would be equal to Jimmy/Logan's.

Actually, I only listed him as Mastery of Science, with only an Expert in Tech. But the Mastery was, in fact, a mistake. I mean to list it as Expert.

When did Sabertooth get adamantium? Also, I thought Sabretooth's Stamina would be equal to Jimmy/Logan's.

As far as I had known, Creed had always had adamantium. His file on the Marvel Wiki lists it, as does Wikipedia.

Sabretooth's skeleton and claws were molecularly laced with the indestructible metal adamantium by Apocalypse,[50] who later removed it and bonded it to Wolverine's bones.[51] Later, the Weapon X program bonded adamantium to his bones once more.[52] However, Sabretooth did not have adamantium connective tissues in his joints and wrists, only adamantium bones, therefore his limbs could be severed.[44] According to the official Marvel Comics website, Sabretooth still possessed an adamantium skeleton.

You're probably right about his stamina, though. I could have sworn that I remembered reading somewhere that Wolverine's Healing Factor was stronger than Sabretooth's but now I can't find anything to substantiate that...

I would give him Tech Master, most certainly.

Not so much on Science Master. Magneto used to build devices to create mutants and created robots and such crazy things back in the day. But I never saw him as really the Scientific type. If anything it would be Science Expert.

In addition to his powers, Magneto has many other skills. He is a genius with competence in various fields of advanced science, especially in genetic manipulation, particle physics, engineering, and other fields of technology. He has engineered advanced weaponry, space stations, superpowered humanoid lifeforms, devices that generate volcanoes and earthquakes, devices that block telepathy, and devices that can nullify all mutant powers except for his own. He has reconstructed computerized devices from memory.

I'd probably put him at "Menace Master d10, Science Expert d8, Tech Master d10" myself. Xavier would be like a mirror image with "Psych Master d10, Science Master d10, Tech Expert d8"

Some very interesting files...

Though I don't see Sabertooth with Superhuman Strength. Maybe Enhanced Strength, but mostely I just see him use his claws...not lift cars.

But to each their own.




And yeah, Sabertooth didn't always have adamantium, but he somehow got it in the craze to give EVERYONE access to the most rare element on Marvel Earth.

Wolverine, Sabertooth, Bullseye, Doc Ock, Lady Deathstrike, and I'm sure plenty of others that I'm missing.

Oh...I almost forgot about Daredevil's adamantium body armor...oh and Stilt-Man and Ultron.

Probably a bunch of others too...

I dont have an issue with high Science and Tech skills. He did build several impressive bases over the years.
