he stated an interest in creating an entire planet wide ecosystem i think. different than creating some little guy

Dr.M is intended to be "god" of his universe for all intents and purpose would have to actually see how he measures up in a fight with another herald/skyfather to see where to actually place him. For all we know at full potential if he were ever pushed he could be a cube being like Molecule Man but lack of feats and lack of an ongoing series stops that.
I don't think Alan Moore "intended" any particular tier for him, I mean its not as if he traveled into the future and looked up the KMC tiers thread and decided "yeah that one".
Personally I think Alan Moore was shooting for a Silver Surfer level character, because in a world populated by street levelers devoid of Metas and above such a character would seem like a God.

Look at who was originally going to fill Doc's slot: Captain Atom. Doctor Manhattan was pretty much Captain Atom with a Quantum Mechanics focus rather than a nuclear power focus.
he was meant to be alien and uncomprehensibly powerfull and frightening to humans and he was just exactly that. he is a much better character than silver surfer (and I really like silver surfer) and there is no reason to wank his power level or speculate he could wipe a galaxy out, watchmen was a masterpiece without any galaxy busting feats in it. unnecessary overt displays of cosmic power would have weakened the series' realism

In a way subjecting Watchmen to the same kind of "rawr featz!!" thinking that we apply to most comics cheapens it a bit.
