[@ACHTUNG] I've been mulling over this all day, but to put it in the nicest way possible... no, overthinking the 'how' for why a character can achieve their nominal base ability does not pay in a crossover. It wastes time to focus on why exactly a character can achieve something that is perfectly in-line with their given abilities [i]and[/i] the abilities of the rest of the cast. They can do it, logistics only comes up if it's dramatically appropriate, let's move on. This is not supposed to be a perfectly logical proof of something.

So when it comes to using thinking about scenarios as entertainment: by all means [i]think[/i], but please avoid posting ridiculously anal-retentive arguments about irrelevant information.
