Okay, so, much like the original thread here, this is a new version that we're opening for the people on the VS forum. This thread should serve as a guideline to anyone that wants to make a match, and can't decide if character X is a match for character Y.
================
Rules:
================
This is a GENERAL power listing. We don't care how fast, how versatile or how strong your favourite character is; it's an averaging out of power.
This list DOESN'T account for PIS or prep, but can for CIS/CIP.
Different versions of characters, if required, will be specified in brackets.
Now, for anyone that doesn't know what these terms mean, here's a quick explanation (credit to Digi):
- Trans - Tier was created to represent anything above Surfer (who is generally considered the top of high herald) and below Skyfather. It is the only tier that is defined on either extreme by actual characters.
- Street - Generally refers to characters without powers, but not without exceptions. A skilled martial artist would likely be street. A skilled martial artist who can amp himself to metahuman levels would not. It is possible to be without a "power" and be above street (for an example: Karate Kid).
Meta and Herald are pretty self-explanatory.
Making changes: This list is NOT perfect (and is a little out-dated). People are going to disagree. To that end, people will be allowed to recommend that certain characters be moved up and down. With enough support, or mod approval, characters can be moved. All final changes to the list must be approved by mods, so no trolling votes will be accepted.
Okay, without further ado:
================

There should be a skyfather tier and I would vote to keep strange where you currently have him

I personally think the lines between low/mid/high Skyfather are a bit murky to navigate. You could always do a catch-all Skyfather tier, but usually, there's not much debate or contention of what counts as a Skyfather per KMC tiering. Most people agree that Odin is the pinnacle of the tier, so really, anyone around that level but not above it should count, imo.

Also, is there any way for you or another mod to delete posts? Because this thread will run quite a few pages, probably over a single issue, and we all know they'll be some bickering and probably spamming along the way. I think keeping the thread clean would be a good idea after so many posts.
Unless you keep this open for about a month or two, lock the thread, and "update" every once in a while.
Break skyfather into two tiers: Elite and Standard. Elite would comprise Odin, Zeus and maybe a few others. I'm sure this could be agreed upon.

I'm also voting that Ultron be bumped up to High Herald. Dude has taken on the Avengers more than once and has held his own, if not beaten, the likes of heavy hitters such as Thor or Sentry.

Why take Strange down? Dude has the most outrageous feats in Marvel

Most of them are prep feats or have lots of context to them and on the average, wouldn't make him significantly beyond the likes of Silver Surfer or Thor, both of whom have some equally insane feats under their belt.
