is there power ranking thread on heavyweight characters? curious about Ivy

(1/4) > >>

deadvoid:
if i have to guess ivy's probably slightly under both fae ladies, or on par with the entire white council. i know mother winter & summer are both 10x the queens, but what about odin, or the original merlin? and what about mouse?

this is potentially like creating top 100 list of the best football player in history.

I think there is, kinda. I can't remember where, but I know I saw a WOJ about Mab that spoke about her power levels, so I think that could help somewhat.
I think it's been said Ivy is on par with the Fae ladies(Small Favor I think). Hm, Odin is tricksy because he's got multiple mantles but he should be on par with Mab. OG Merlin...hm, that's tough, I'd say he's in the top ten at least. As for Mouse, I think there's another WOJ that states that he was like The Thing when he was living with Harry, but when he started living with the Carpenters and got a power boost, so that he became like The Hulk. Not sure how helpful  that comparison is, but Archangel Uriel called Mouse "cousin", so I'd say he's a tough costumer.

In small favor, Luccio compare Ivy to the fae Ladies in power, though it is not clear whether she is referring to Ivy's overall combat prowess of her raw power only.

In book 5, Harry's senses told him that Ivy's aura is no weaker than any of the senior council, perhaps even stronger. So at least Ivy has the raw magical muscle of Arthur Langtry and she is only 7 year old at the time. She is likely to grow stronger as she grows older just like any other supernatural.

Ivy overall danger levels however is off the chart. With that much knowledge even the likes of Mab need to be careful with her. The fact that she is one of the possible arbiters when there is an accords settlement told us that. The other Arbiters are the likes of Draccle and great Dragon Farofax. So Ivy is about that level in overall influence, status and power.

Bad Alias:
I'm not sure if Ivy will grow much in strength as she ages. Probably the main reason that wizards and such grow stronger as they age is that they gain knowledge and understanding. Ivy already has both knowledge and understanding. For her to increase significantly in power due to learning, there would need to be a breakthrough in human knowledge, imo.

Well she's immediately getting a pipeline of every new insight any Council wizard writes down in their notebooks. And given the proclivity for keeping secrets, a lot of them might not share individual techniques they come up with.
