AustinDR wrote: You have the tier system when it comes to PE. It ranges from power, resources, intelligence, etc. Basically, besides the baseline heinous standard, there is the relative heinous standard. For instance, a serial killer could count in the same work as an evil overlord thanks to the tier system. With the relative heinous standard, this is where resources factor in. However, just because a villain is heinous enough with their resources does not mean that they automatically are PE. If they use their resources to commit atrocities that are commonplace or happenstance of the work, they do not stick out enough. Basically, if all of the villains in a work try to destroy planets, none of them would stand out. DBZ is actually a pretty good case of an example for your post. Van Zant killing 50+ civilians is nothing compared to Frieza causing many genocides and Cell absorbing people to become Perfect so he could destroy the universe. (Of course this isn't even getting into Zamasu)
