View submission: Dumb question
Being rated a Brute 10 by the PRT doesn't imply that you can kill anyone rated Brute 9.
For example, Alexandria is rated a Brute 8, Leviathan is rated a Brute 9, and Behemoth is rated a Brute 10. But that doesn't mean Leviathan and Behemoth can kill Alexandria with a punch! (They can't, we've seen them fight.) It just means the PRT rated them as more of a physical threat in melee than her.
You can be literally impossible to kill, and still have a low Brute rating if it doesn't make you a huge threat in a fight.
Being able to punch the planet in half and rip off a planet's atmosphere with your speed is comparable to the threat level of the one known (Tinker) 15 from Ward, who threatened to tear off the atmosphere of a planet. And even they needed a fair amount of prep time.

Your point here is missing the point, that being I notably *didn't* say they would be able to damage Alexandria. I said they would be able to damage an Endbringer down to the dimensionally folded sections, and that is a separate thing. As to the reasoning with the Mover 10, my point was that if, as the OP said, there were *no other powers* beyond super strength, super speed, and the hovering, to be a Mover 10 would be to be a Mover 15. A Mover 10 could reach anywhere on the same planet they wished to be within seconds of wanting to be there. Without shenanigans, Mover 7 is the upper limit for pure-Brute movers, since Mover 7 would be at most half an hour to get anywhere on earth from the altitude of the Statue of Liberty. Without that singular caveat a Mover 10 is much more believable, but because the OP said as much, it means that there are no suborbital shenanigans going on to avoid pesky things like air resistance and friction.
