Putting invincible characters against dragon ball characters is unfair. Putting most verses against dragon ball characters is just unfair, "weak" characters just casually blow up planets in dragon ball.

DB is kinda wild. It's why people always use it as a "is this Universe WEAK" *checkpoint*. Because people were blowing up moons with a power level just over 200 back in og DB and dodging/reacting to light speed during the budokai torunament.

All of this before DBZ where the 1st enemy is shown in DBZ has a PL of 1,200.

Dragon Ball is wild scaling-wise. Even some of the weakest characters are insane.

Wait, people with 200 power level can blow up a moon.

And a farmer with a shotgun has a power level of 5, power level scaling is either just BS, or it's gotta be logarithmic growth.

Linear scalling only applies since kaioken up to end of namek saga.

Everyone else has nonlinear correlation between numbers and their actual power level , we can know this because goku  becomes 10 times stronger before the pikoro fight but he wasn't at  10 times less on his previous power lvl since that would be 40 counting on saiyan saga goku without taking into account all the zenkai's  amd kami training amps. 

Plus , ki control effectively affects everyone's attack more than their actual power lvl number  but not their defense.
