-In 1993, [[Doctor Michael Tanaka | Doctor Z]], now Director of the Department of Metahuman Control (DMC)'s Science Division, created what would become the DMC Power Classification Scale, also known as the Tanaka Scale. According to Tanaka himself, the Tanaka Scale is imperfect, but it stands as the DMC's recognized standard for measurement.+In 1993, [[Doctor Z | Doctor Michael Tanaka]], now Director of the Department of Metahuman Control (DMC)'s Science Division, established the DMC Power Classification Scale, also known as the Tanaka Scale. Despite its imperfections, as noted by Tanaka himself, the scale remains the DMC's standard for assessing metahuman abilities.
