yeah, doom's at least low herald but mid wouldn't be out of the question. the best IM is still likely the highest high meta. for me, nova (frankie) was always the bottom of the low herald tier. it becomes tough to say the lowest though, because there are some one-dimensional bricks who could be viewed as low herald who she could probably beat. the tier thread was always meant only as a general gauge. people started to use it as gospel though and bias inevitably took a toll on it and on the ability to keep it open and reasonably accurate.
i'd be for reopening it though, but i think a small commitee should be formed to run and update it. it would take a variety of non-biased people to do it though, and at least one or 2 people with strong knowledge of both marvel and dc as well as someone who knows independents. be a fun little revamping project if we could get some knowledgeable people willing to do some discussion. always allowing for the fact that no matter WHO does it it will not be perfect. i think it's served its purpose quite well though, despite some controversy, and the number of times it is referenced attests to the fact that there is still a place for something like it in the kmc.
what do you think digi?

Ha. Probably not. But I'll think on it.
Is your match over?
Mr. Sinister and Gorilla Grodd are probably the highest High Metas approaching Low Herald range.
IMO, in order for telepaths get into Low Herald tier, one needs to demonstrate enough power to accomplish something on the planetary scale. But for telepaths with a bunch of other powers, including durability and TK, it lessens their reliance on TP solely, and thus they can be approaching the Herald tier without actually having planetary-scale TP.
