It's literally just a trope name to signify that a character can fly and is super strong and durable as well.

As you can see, even Captain Atom and Silver Surfer, both far more versatile
than CM, are considered flying bricks too.
Pre-Flashpoint CA hasn't shown more versality than Marvel, difference is one manipulates magic, the other manipulates quantum energy, i have also seen Marvel do things, which CA cannot, also actually bricks are characters who have regular super-strength/durability/speed, those are bricks, flying bricks are simply all that + flight. That's what is flying brick, also tvtropes is not "official" or anything, so we can't rely on it that much, and obviously it has its own mistakes in it. And as i said already Marvel is not a flying brick, aside from regular flying brick powers, he has shown much more like Matter Manipulation/Magic Lightning Manipulation/Generation and calling it down from sky, using lightning from sky to recharge and heal himself, and bunch of other abilities.
And yes, CM is a B-lister. As I mentioned though, it does not necessarily mean because of power. In CM's case I would say its moreso because of importance and billing.[/B]
B-listers don't get their own movies, and soon maybe in September or later(after Rebirth), he gets his own comic series. That's not B-lister stuff, and popularity wise he is more popular than any character in this battle.
Now, as for the the thread itself, I would probably give it to Billy eventually. I don't think anyone else here is quite tanky as CM has shown to be. And the dude's healing factor is legit. He got turned inside out once and in a single panel reformed back to normal. [/B]
Well, aside from durability and healing, he has much more advantages against his opponents, like his insane speed which, according Jerry Ordway and Mark Waid, is around Flash's speed(i can also posts feats of Marvel traveling through 4th Dimension a.k.a TIME, and 5th Dimension a.k.a the home of Mxy). Also, according DC Editor Charles Kochman Captain Marvel is DC's strongest supehero.
