Comprehensive Energy Scale

 Introduction:

The following scale is a list of the calculated feats in fiction (whether that be from the OBD or other places) in terms of their energy yield, and where they fit into the various levels of destructive capacity. Energy feats are listed, and calculations linked, along with the characters and series that they came from, going higher in scale. For reference, see: Extended System of Units

Feats are listed in terms of joules, TNT equivalent, and Foe (supernova equivalent).

Do note that this list is not to be taken as gospel, and is always subject to change based on new data.
