I wouldn't say the research was poor. They just didn't want evolution and that was their excuse.

Yes the excuse wasn't ironclad, yes TECHNICALLY you are right, but that's what they went for.

Alot of people pointed out that there are thousands of various ways to depict the other battles and to choose what to allow or restrict for a character. Spiderman was once Thor, Deadpool had the Infinity Gauntlet, Batman became a god and had the Justice Buster.

The hosts place a ceiling on the combatants so that things don't snowball out of hand.
