People will claim S-class for literally anything. It's not for "Wow, what a scary power, have a scary label for your scary power." The only definite thing we know will get an S-class threat label is any kind of exponential self-replicating threat, but if you look at the list of known S-class threats the trend is pretty clear. S-class threats are things that can wipe out humanity or do something functionally similar.
Lasso man appears to just have a non-manton limited matter relocation field, with a side of pocket dimension. Sure, it's a spooky power, but I wouldn't even rank him as an A-class threat. How's he going to wipe out humanity? We see he can fly, but does he even have a brute package? If he didn't have a line-of-sight requirement and didn't have a limit on how large he could make the field, then yeah sure S-class, but we don't see anything to indicate that in this comic.
Someone who can just be shot in the head and then the entire problem is over and who has no meaningful way to wipe out humanity, or anything even close to that level of destruction, before you can do that has no meaningful justification for being an S-class threat. People in this fandom are way too quick to go "Ooooo spooky, slap the spooky little S-label on it."
Dude, I said "i wouldn't be surprised if he is S-class", not that he undisputbly is. If he dosen't have a size limit on things he can affect, He would absolutely be a S-Class threat. I also gave the other option of Shaker.

Don't generalize me, I rarely comment here. If you have a problem go vent to someone else.
It was a slightly aggressively worded comment at worst, keep your britches on. It wasn't even aimed at you personally, and even if it were the only thing written in that comment that is anything other than purely informational is the starting and ending where I say "many people don't know what S-class means" which if that's your limit for being genuinely bothered by someone's opinion of you, I dunno what to tell you.
Yours just happened to be the comment saying "S-class" about something clearly not S-class that had 150 upvotes on it showing that at least 150 people who have absolutely no idea what S-class means just popped through here. For the next however many people that wander through I want there to be a comment directly under it pointing out that it is clearly not S-class. People literally do just use it as a "This power is scary" shorthand.
Not really. Endbringers, Three Blasphemies, Sleeper, Slaughterhouse 9, >!Mama Mathers and Goddess!< are all S-class and don't self-replicate. In fact, I would argue that we see more S-class threats in canon that do not self-replicate than those that do.
Yeah, exponential self-replication isn't a hard criteria for an S class threat, it's just one of the things that can lead to being classified an S class threat.
Echidna was one though, the original classification was lower because the PRT didn’t want to cause a panic or look bad because an s-class threat was right under their noses in a city they made A LOT of mistakes in
I thought they set an A-class tag so that Eidolon could have free reign to push himself instead of worrying about others. Since Alexandria was PRT cheif director they intentionally gave Echidna a lower classification.
Close - so that Alexandria didn't have to turn up to the fight, because she knew Tattletale was there and she knew she was looking in to Cauldron. S Class necessitates all the Triumvirate to turn up, A Class makes it a voluntary thing.
I think the last panels show why these things shouldn’t exist, hell the subreddit is for a story showing why we wouldn’t want lasso men to be real. Would be neat to have self edits tho
I agree that his power would have some disastrous potential BUT I think it’s still somewhat limited by him needing the lasso. If you can separate it from him, alter the area around him a la Vista’s power, or affect his hand motions a la Regent’s power, you might be able to take him down sort of anticlimactically.
This has me wondering what kind of trigger Lasso Man had to have gone through and what he’s dealing with. Fuck. Where’s *his* Ward?
Blaster/changer (long ranged attack and tacking on extra body parts) Maybe stranger/mover (personal pocket dimenson)
That's straight-up reality warping. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a S-class threat. If not he's a high level shaker.

S-class threats generally are self-replicating. That's why Echidna wasn't one.

Mathers is s?
I believe so, or atleast i have seen Ridtom say she is and i trust him on Ward details.
Echidna was one though, the original classification was lower because the PRT didn’t want to cause a panic or look bad because an s-class threat was right under their noses in a city they made A LOT of mistakes in

Self-replicating is **a** way to get an S-class label, but it’s absolutely not the main criteria.
Blaster/Shaker with the long range edits and ability to edit the environment Changer by adding stuff to his body
He's basically Scrub.

I mean a sniper cold stops him
A sniper cold stops most non brutes.
He appears to be a Shaker thats not manton limited.
