With a non-simulationnist and narrative point of view, I would have stated :

Human : "pretty strong 13"
Superhero : "increedibely strong 13"
Cosmic threat : "unearthly strong 13"

Because using the same scale for human, superhero and cosmic threat is too simulationnist... :)

Seriously, that proves that using a unique scale is clearer and useful.
