Ranking Site

Ranking sites and Betting sites are websites dedicated to rating and ranking parahumans.

Modus operandi
These sites track the wins and losses of capes, both hero and villain.

Ranking sites would base a high rating on whether the cape was "trending" in the news and winning fights. If the cape laid low, or was overshadowed by a larger news story, their rating dropped. Capes could get income from these sites paying them to host live streams or be interviewed online, or offer prizes.

Ranking sites sometimes sponsor parahumans, hero or villain - as a form of promotion, similar to a corporate team but with less conditions, one of the few is the capes maintenance of their ratings. Bambina received money from sponsors, even though she was a villain, based on her ranking; when it dipped, she received less money.

Betting sites lets anyone bet on who would win in a matchup between two capes, the participant puts money on their prognostication of who would triumph. The site holds the money, collecting the interest, when and if the two capes meet and fight the site pays out the result to the to prognosticator. Other times chance is removed; people pay to watch two capes fight head to head, betting on the results. The site can operate free of oversight as long as they meet some base guidelines.
