A very sophisticated one, but one all the same. What about Mother Boxes? Aren't they sentient?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Destroyer Construct - High Trans - Low Cosmic.
Aegis Armor - Low Cosmic/Mid Sky Father: The Aegis is one of the most powerful personal body armor's in comic history.
Iron Man Armor - High Meta - Mid Herald (depending on the suit)
X-O armor - Low Herald: Not sure if the X-O suit can be classified as a weapon? If so, I guess that the Venom symbiote has the right to also be classified as a weapon.
What's the difference between trans and cosmic?

Well you have low cosmic characters that would extend from low herald to high herald (Nova corps - Silver Surfer). mid cosmic characters that range from low trans to low sky father (Morg WOL - Thanos), and high cosmic characters that range from mid sky father to low abstract which would range from Uatu (Mid SkyFather) - Phoenix (Low Abstract)

It is, but Galactus isn'y really a Sky Father but at certain levels can be challenged by them. Look at the Stranger. He is clearly a cosmic character. I'd place him in the Mid Cosmic bracket with Uatu. These characters aren't magical, but they can certainly give Zeus a fight. maybe the Sky Father tier should be dissolved in favor of the Cosmic scale, and where Odin would stack up to characters like Stranger, Uatu, Galactus, and Dark Phoenix. There are far more cosmics out there than there are Sky Fathers after all.

it's something that should be thought long and hard about. The reason for this, is because there are cosmic characters below Sky, and above Sky.If we don't change it there should be terms that are interchangeable. it's complicated, but the wide range of characters would be impossible to place in certain boxes if they didn't belong there.

I'm picking up what you're putting down. It seems unnecessarily convoluted though. Just imo. I understand you though.

I know what you mean. I don't even want to attempt to wrap my mind around it. I guess the old tier system should remain in play until someone comes up with something that really makes sense without the confusion. Perhaps Sky Father should be interchangeable though.
For example; Low Meta, Mid Meta, High Meta, Low Herald, Mid Herald, High Herald, Low Trans, Mid Trans, High Trans/Low Cosmic, for guys like Thanos, Darkseid, Mordru, Phoenix 5. Low Sky Father/Mid Cosmic, for guys like Uatu, Stranger, Synnar from Hardcore Station. High Sky Father/High Cosmic, for guys like Odin, Tyrant, Dark Phoenix, Average Galactus. Low Abstract/High Cosmic Plus/Elder God for guys like Rune King Thor, Franklin Richards, Galactus at well fed ranges, Micheal Korvak etc.
My point is that at a certain point things tend to become murky, and in order to represent all of the various powers, certain titles should be interchangeable.

👆Back to topic. Could the symbiote be considered a weapon considering it's sentience?
I would consider it as a Bio weapon, just like Tony's new symbiote tech armor, X-O Manawar armor, The Witchblade, Spawn's demonic suit, The Helmet of Nabu, etc. They all have a symbiotic relationship with these sentient items of power. Some are organic while others are cybernetic, or mystical.
The Power Gems are sentient as well from what i recall.
