What powers must one possess to be "Herald Level" or "Skyfather"?

In your mind, what does it take powerwise to be grouped in either section?

Doctor Strange is up there somewhere. Dude's badass.

Hmm....

Manipulation of Molecules

High end durability (taking a 'planet shattering blast' for example )

thats all the classification I need.

Powerful blasts, or Galactus goes halfway across the planet blasts.

A special edition collector's plate of the I Love Lucy Show.
One half-ingested cracker jack decoder ring
At least 2 copies of Sweating to the Oldies with Richard Simmons
A lunch box with Dungeons and Dragons on it (the cartoon not the game)
And a complete collection of ever Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Action Figures. (Pre-movie)

I think that's a recipe for Highfather level.

Notable Skyfather= top tiers are biatches. Heralds are biatches. Mjolnir is nothing but a bore. Teams are a bore. Plenetary level opponents at least.

Thats the start.

Ummm off the top of the noggin

Reality manipulation
Transmutation
High Durability ala Planet destroying shots
Wielding some form of energy on a high level ala Magic,Cosmic,etc
Lightspeed
Teleportation
Cosmic Awareness
Immortal to some extent

in my mind..all the bells and whistles come with being able to manipulate molecules so my take:

-ability to weild vast amounts of mystic and or cosmic energy on a galactic scale.

-ability to warp reality

-time travel

-ability to infuse others with power thru sheer force of will or a fraction of your energies or to take it away at will(the same way Zeus took away Hercs' immortality and full power)

being able to have your thralls or avatars be powerful as you will them to be....even powerful enuff to challenge your might one day(see galactus, cytorrak)

-being able to restore someone's health even if they are past a point of no return, or just plain old ressurrection.

-being able to create life

-being able to transfer somone's "soul" or thier consciousness to another vessel.

-being omniscient, omnipotent, and an omniversal telepath(or any other word that begins with omni😄)

and for herald level just take all the above and bring it down about 8-10 notches

There's no set of powers. That's retarded.

Thats some very good points. A true Skyfather isnt just powerful he's a monarch. He/She has absolut control over thier pantheon. He can give or take powers as he sees fit. Much like I quoted above. The term Skyfather actually has a place and shouldent be used as a powerset.

The term Skyfather I believe should only be used when concerning a member of the council of godheads. They are the pantheon heads of marvels gods. Those are the only "actual"skyfathers. Saying someone is as powerful is one thing but thats different. Vishnu, Odin, Zeus are beings who can resend powers from very powerful beings like Thor, Herc, Apollo, Are's ect. Not only are they powerful but they have control over large powerful realms and many powerful individuals.

Anyone who can take out the Surfer with ease IMO. 🙂

Therefore that includes Thanos IMO

Herald level doesn't exist.
Cuz Silver Surfer is a herald, but not all heralds are the Surfer.

Same for skyfather.
Not a level, since Zeus isn't as powerful as Odin. Its a title.

Skyfathers should be head and shoulders above the rest of their pantheons.
Thats all thats required in my eyes.

To Yahmy. Does this mean Superman is possibly skyfather level??

Since he does have skyfather level feats??

Like beating an actual skyfather, and thrashing teams of gods at once?

Same for GL?

reality and matter manipulation
time travel
very high durability
being able to destroy planets with ease
being able to create life and ressurect people
omnipotency
immortality
and so on.....

Almost every top tier/herald level hero has feats that put them beyond that level.

In terms of pure destructive ability:

Herald level: one - shot solar systems

Skyfather level: one - shot galaxies

No herald can one shot a solar system.

Nova did and she's the weakest.

She's triggered supernovas and black holes which in turn destroyed the solar system but never through her own energy.
