Feats are actions performed by various characters/entities that are used to show their power. Feats are the single most important way to gauge a character's power, and therefore, they are also the main points of argument on almost any thread. There are varying types of feats, including the following: physical strength feats, speed feats, durability feats, destructive power/attack potency feats, intelligence feats, etc. Some feats are more useful than others since they are more easily quantified, and/or are simply more useful in a VS situation.
An example being a character dodging a bullet from what looks like a Glock 17. This can be analyzed since we all know the muzzle velocity. A character dodging a Ray Gun beam from an unknown type of weapon, however, cannot be analyzed, since we don't know how fast it moves. On the other hand, this can sometimes be overlooked and simply said to be a laser, which, of course, would be FTL.
Feats are often collected and explained in respect threads. Characters/Universes with a lot of hyperbole claims and little feedback to enforce them are generally looked upon with skepticism.
Then again, even feats can be discredited if they are unsupported by context of the story--whether being far outliers, or retconned out of their own canon.
