So, as everyone and their mother probably knows at this point, The Iron Giant's profile is all sorts of outdated, and requires a big old revision to get through.
AP
When the re-evaluated iron vaporisation value came through, there was a consensus that the Iron Giant would need to re-evaluated, but it never happened.
Until now
Using that calculation, the Iron Giant becomes 7-C with his regular armament, and his chest cannon goes to Low 7-B thanks to the power of angsizing. I could just make those changes now, but there are some other things I want to talk about before that.
Gender
How did this exist for so long? He's a robot, for crying out loud. He has no gender. This heading should be changed to "None, referred to as male"
Powers and Abilities
So, obviously, the big one that we are missing here is Large Size. The type is a little difficult to work around, as the Iron Giant's size fluctuates during the movie. At times large enough to hold a tree in his hand, then small enough to hide among trees. This seems more like inconsistent animation rather than Size Manipulation.
His most consistent size appears to be the one where he can easily hold Hogarth in his hand, so therefor, Large Size (Type 1)
Immortality: Type 3. Regenerationn type. For obvious reasons
Self-Sustenance (Type 1): The Iron Giant can breathe in space. Either that, or he doesn't need to breathe. This is shown at the beginning of the movie when he arrives on Earth from an unknown origin, and at the end when he catches the nuke.
Energy Projection: I shouldn't have to justify this. The Iron Giant primarily attacks by firing energy blasts at his foes
Heat Vision: One of the Giant's weapons.
Rage Power: The Giant gets violent when he loses control, as shown when Hogarth "dies". And when Hogarth calms him down, he loses access to his weapons
Flight: He already has this, but it should be defined as Technical Flight, as he flies using rocket boosters on his feet
Lifting Strength
Class K? Since when? The Giant's best feats in the movie are lifting cars casually, meaning at best, he should be Class 5, possibly higher. Remember, this was the guy that couldn't even break through metal pylons that he could break with just his weight.
Stamina
High? Nah. The Giant makes Above Average at best. Remember, he needs to sleep and eat quite often, to the point where he has to eat so much that he is taking chomps out of everything in town.
Range
>Extended melee range physically
No! Simply by sheer size, the Giant's reach should be much more than 2 meters. Several meters would be much more appropriate here
>Hundreds of meters with most weapons
We never see him shoot that far. Assuming that he can is a mild dose of NLF. Break that bad boy down to tens of meters for deleting that tank from distance
>Tens of kilometres with Energy Cannon
My calculation found that the Energy Cannon only had a range of about 4km. So the Iron Giant's range with that should be kilometres
Intelligence
At the very least, he should be Gifted. The Giant could pick up a completely new language in a matter of days with very little repetition. He is also apparently artistically gifted, and if you subscribe to the theory that he is a WOMD, he should also be tactically skilled.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this!
