Just at quick glance, Wonder Woman and friggin Zatanna belong in the top tier. Donna Troy in the 2nd tier. Mxy and Bat-Mite should be grouped up there with Ion and Parallax. Not sure why some characters are listed twice but nonetheless it doesn't make sense to divide them into high and low showings.

Anyone could probably take exception with many aspects of a list of that size. But it's a lot better than I could do, so I have a hard time justifying too much negativity towards it. You could do a lot worse for DC hierarchy, and it seems logical enough in most parts, even though there's minor problems in many places.
this list looks real solid only a ninny noodled knit picker will express "negativity"...however there is no f ****ing way that hercules is below superman, wonder woman and the higher ups in the marvel family tree.. especially since said f ****ers got thier strength from him.. also no disrespect to fernus and sun dipped superman but Takion is way above them...
one last thing, there is no f ****ing way that despero is in the same tier as Onimar Syn...THEEEEE F ****ING ONIMAR SYN?!?! LEX LUHTOR HIGHER THAN HERCULES?!?! AND LOBO IS 2ND TIER?!?
The first bit involves msotly vertigo characters so Im not too sure.
Id have all the Endless WAY above Anti Montitor as they are really metaphysical notions that sometimes take physical form. The question is, can u kill a concept ? Decarte and Kahnt would suggest you cant.
Id have Spectre WAY above this level, as he was abled to stalemate the Anti Monitor and Parallax on his own accord. With the power of God he probably above the Endless. Id put the fully powered Anti monitor in this category as well. Ion and co definitely dont deserve to be at this level. And all the Warlogog is basically the infinity Gaunlet, its limits have yet to really be tested.
There so much wrong with this i dont want to get started.
These tow levels need to be mixed about a bit, and some need to be releagted entirely; the Melinium Giants, Mordru, the Black Racer, Time Ttrapper and Eclipso all need to be relegated.

Re: dc power tiers
It's a good list...of course people will have different views. Mine is just that characters like The Word and Phantom Stranger plus The Wizard Shazam should be somewhere in Tier 5. The Word is almost like The Spectre except we don't see much of him...PS is very underrated and the limits of this powers are still unknown...The Wizard practically is the overlord of Magic.
