That's overkill. U could potentially have the jla stuck in a time loop living out a dream for a lifetime

How? If the JLA fights even sorta seriously, these teams eat dirt.

Which characters do you disagree with and where would you put them? Or is that far too epic a task to undertake?

theres nothing wrong with the tier thread or rankings...comic book characters power levels are fluid. they rise and fasll depending on the writer. so at any given time a charcter can range from street to herald. its just a loose guestimation. the problem is when poster who know better try and use it as law.

Writers don't give two hoots about power levels, if it tells a good story, and neither should we.
Batman is out of place power wise on a team of gods? Tower of Babel. Great story.
Surfer is just a herald? Here he is surfing, and taking TWO beings who have just taken Big G out.
It's what makes things interesting and fun. Slavishly adhering to handbooks (but-but-but in Wonder Man #23, 1972, he could only lift a car!!!!) constricts what's possible. Story matter more.
That said, my team stomps.

Mortal Hercules
Batman 1 Million
Gorgon
Rogue
Ambrose Chase
Carnage
Warlock.
u don't even need most of these characters to stomp the jla.
a carnage/ambrose combo or a ambrose/gorgon should be sufficient. throw in fantomex and the jla would be pawns. that's what we mean when we say know the characters abilities not just powersets and power levels...the only chars who wouldn't be immediately stomped would imo be flash and possibly clark

Those examples you listed had nothing to do with inconsistent potrayal of power levels.

The list isn't even that bad. Some people could move around, but it is far more serviceable than people let on.

In a story where they prepare for that fight? Absolutely.
In a forum scenario, no. I do applaud everyone on their creativity. These teams could pull some tricks off with the proper set-up, but let's be serious here. Ambrose and Carnage are duoing this JLA line-up? Care to make that thread?

Eh, I disagree about us caring, tbh. Inconsistent characters can hurt a story, no matter how good the story is.

This could be the start of a revamp to the tiers thread.
THANK you, Carver!

How are they getting around time manip/stone stare/symbiote possession/technoorganic assimilation combo. Cant see it happening. Not interested in making a thread but u can make your arguments here im open to be convinced otherwise
