* **1 - Paltry / Below Average:** A person with such a ranking has minimal ability in this area or possibly has some talent but also has debilitating restrictions related to this field.
* **2 - Basic / Typical:** A typical person or average adult citizen has this level of ranking. (Exception: Occult Rankings for the ordinary bystander would be 0 or 1)
* **3 - Trained / Exceptional:** A person with a professional level of ability or exceptional talent in this area typically carries this rank.
* **4 - Expert / Enhanced:** A person with a high level of professional proficiency carries this rank. Also, a person with metahuman ability or other enhancement providing a natural edge, but limited experience or expertise to apply the improvement might carry this rank.
* **5 - Master / Remarkable:** A person with a true understanding of all facets of this area would carry this rank. Also, a person with metahuman ability or other enhancement providing a natural edge, and some experience or ability to apply the enhancement might carry this rank.
* **6 - World-Class / Superb:** A person regarded as a world-class leader in this field would carry this rank. Also, a person with metahuman ability or other enhancement providing a natural edge, and refined experience or ability to apply the enhancement might carry this rank.
* **7 - Legendary:** A person whose proficiency is undisputed would score this rank. Also, a person with metahuman ability or other enhancement providing a natural edge, and mastered experience or ability to apply the enhancement might carry this rank. This is a truly exceptional score and should not be applied without careful consideration.
* **8 - Paragon:** This level is reserved for beings who break the mold and defy ranking due to having immeasurable mastery or ability in this area.

This Threat Assessment ranking was developed by ARGUS to evaluate the heroes, villains, and other beings they've come into contact with.

Threat Score = Total Amount of Threat Points

* A POWERS score of 0 = 0 TP
* A POWERS score of 1 = 1 TP
* A POWERS score of 2 = 2 TP
* A POWERS score of 3 = 5 TP
* A POWERS score of 4 = 10 TP
* A POWERS score of 5 = 15 TP
* A POWERS score of 6 = 25 TP
* A POWERS score of 7 = 50 TP
