Closer than I expected: 7*r1 vs 6*r5

Look at the health and attack for the R1 7* vs r5 6*. It is much closer than I expected.
(Colossus was my first r5 from abyss completion. At the time I had limited options in mutant but now I still have no regrets on ranking him.)

I figured a 6r5 would have been closer to at least 7r2.
The only exception to the r1 7* being slightly lower than the r5 6* is sunspot where a r1 7* actually has higher stats than a r5 6*
In general, a r1 7* is basically a rank 4.8 6*
Another needs LITERALLY EVERYTHING !!!
So a brand new 7* was much better than the highest power level at the time, a 6R4. And being so close to 6R5, made the release of rank 5's kinda muted. Releasing ascension a few months later made it a little better.
Ascended 6* r5 is equal to
