There is no strength tier.
Superman's not a tier stronger than Thor because there are many people in trans who are far stronger than them, and people in trans who are far weaker.
There is no "herald strength" and there is no "meta" strength.
There is just strength, which plays a part in the consideration of someone's ranking.

Only by being acquainted with the largest majority of Superman's comics and feats would you ever learn that he's stronger than Thor.
I know plenty of people who have read tons of Superman comics and still consider Thor to be his physical superior...
Even this board has a dozen people who thinks that Hulk starts out around Superman's level 😐
