  Rationale
  For players who prefer to build their own characters using the point buy system, or just those who want to get
  into a "who would win?" type of argument, it may be helpful to have some benchmarks relating ICONS ability
  scores and power levels to established comic-book superheroes.
  Method
  In the ICONS rulebook, Steve Kenson seems to have actually included—but not called out explicitly—some
  conversion benchmarks in the "Optional Name" column of the scale (p. 5). The benchmark tables offered here
  coordinate those "Optional Names" with the descriptors in the old TSR Marvel Super Heroes RPG (of
  FASERIP) fame, ignoring endurance and mapping the other attributes pretty much straight across. Marvel
  characters’ benchmark ratings comes straight out of MSH supplements; DC characters’ benchmarks draw on
  writeups by Tystates
  . Of course, one can quibble with some of these numbers, and characters’ ability levels
  fluctuate sometimes in the comics. Still, these benchmarks may prove helpful for players who use the point
  buy system and understand “fights as well as Batman” better than “fights at level 8.”
