Is that supposed to be a hypen or a minus in the first panel? I hope it is a minus.
If two slightly above average Goldstars are enough to to take down a A class threat, properly classifying very powerful beings would require ridiculous categories like SSS otherwise the last categories would be too broad to be useful.

Ten percent? Now wonder there's a seperatist movement!

10%??? Holy crap no wonder Heroland seems so rich, that’s a LOT of money.

What would the revenant's thought bubbles say?

10% of their GDP for Heroic protection? I think it's a bargain.
@Neorice - I'm glad you, the author, acknowledge the double-meaning.

Say what you want about Revenants but this one is graciously standing by while they have their conversation. Let that be a lesson to everyone. Just because you have no skin and your hands are bladed weapons doesn't mean you can't be polite.

10% GDP. According to a quick google search America only spends about 3% of its GDP on its military, and that's higher than most other countries.
A tenth of their GDP on what is effectively foreign mercenaries is insane.

10%? What is this a medieval tithe?
I presume Heroland still has eyes here waiting on Burk's party, so, let's see how it develops.

For reference, the US currently has a budget around 38% of its GDP, so 10% of GDP would be just over 1/4 of that. Military spending fluctuates, but for the US it's around 3-5% of GDP.
10% of GDP is way more than any modern country not currently at war spends, but before the industrial revolution countries spent most of their budget on defense, so it may not be an unreasonable figure, assuming Livaria isn't also spending heavily on its own military.

Ten percent?! Man, what a racket they're running!
51166: Storm - Monday, May 11 2026 - 3:04 PM
The US collects about 25% of its GDP as taxes. 10% of the GDP going to Heroland is like the US giving 40% of every tax dollar to the United Nations or NATO.
51167: Storm - Monday, May 11 2026 - 3:08 PM
The US spent about 30% of its GDP on the military from 1941 to 1945 during WWII.
10% of the GDP going to Heroland while also paying for their own military sounds like they're in a state between peace and war.

To be fair. Somewhere between peace and war does sound descriptive of the situation.
As we got ghouls, rogue magic users and now Ghouls, randomly messing up towns.

@Brownie24128 Unless of course these two get their assess handed to them and Burk has to step in, then A class would make better sense.

Given what is implied to be their catchphrase, I can see why they're number 7 of the Iconic Hero Couple Contest. Respectable people rarely want to be publicly associated with that, or let their children talk about it.
Privately is different. Though the implication that they're willing to share each other probably also hurt their rating.
...and shipping based on rumours & hearsay. I can honestly see Number 1 being a pair who aren't actually in a relationship. Like Radiant Lupa (p 3955) with Yanno The Neorevolutionary (p 3956), simply because they're the newest publicly known White Stars.
Ew. No. Stop that!
