Too vague a question. Raw power is hard to quantify between realms (strength, speed, energy output, etc.) and are we talking versatility or raw power, or who would win the most in hypothetical matchups (because some have bad matchups with others in the same tier)?
There's several "right" answers, a few of which have been mentioned.
The tiers thread itself was a mess and accomplished nothing that it set out to. The only good thing to come out of it was a shared vocabulary upon which to base discussions, which didn't exist prior to its creation.

Black Bolt or Cpt. Atom probably then, if we're using an eyeball test of the tier.
Again though, the tiers were shared terminology, nothing more. "High Herald" doesn't actually exist in any official sense, and peoples' idea of what it means will vary.
Originally posted by carver9Powerwise perhaps. But on kmc feats/showings on panel count for a huge majority of how a character is perceived. Nova is perceived by most here as mid herald with some HH showings. I'm cool with that.
Imo nova is a high herald.Who would you give the majority to in a fight... nova or black bolt?
That's like asking me to pick my favorite child. Can't do it man lol.
