carthage
Vader, Luke, Valkorion Palpatine, Revan, i,e the ones with powerful force feats, not so much the less renowned ones

iceman24567
Even with abilities like flow walking or high end battle meditation I would think mid herald is the ceiling for Star wars given that most of them are "squishy" aka physically inferior.

iceman24567
Yeah none of them are going beyond mid herald

I would think Vader would be around High meta, personally. With feats like withstanding the explosion of one of the Largest military bases in the Empire (With force barrier), commanding a massive ship to fly into a star with telepathy, and his renowned telekinesis its hard to see him losing to some of the likes of Storm, Psylocke, Havok, or Colossus.

Prof. T.C McAbe
I would rank the following chars a bit higher, some low Skyfather, some mid and maybe even high.

Black Racer, Doomsday (H/P), Elders of the Universe (minus Ego), King Thor, Magus (original), Mangog, Mongul I (Pre Crisis), Onimar Synn, Onslaught, Silver Age Kryptonians/Daxamites, Sun Eater, Superboy Prime, Superman 1 Million, Takion, Thanos, Tyrant (powered down)

Trans imo.
Infinity-Man, Imperiex Probes

High Herald imo
Beta Ray Bill, Black Adam, Captain Marvel (DC), Count Nefaria, The Flash II (Barry Allen), The Flash III (Wally West), Gladiator, Hulk, Hyperion, Kurse, Lobo, Magus (Post-IG), Martian Manhunter, Supreme, Terrax the Tamer, Wonder Woman, Doomsday (DOS)

Mid Herald imo.
Doctor Doom, Gilgamesh, He-Man, Hercules (Immortal), Thor (Ultimate),

DarkSaint85
Cassie Nova to Mid (if Prof X is a Low, and she punked him...)
DoS Doomsday - Mid
Doom - Mid

Agreed on the probes, and agreed on the Flashes.

WW to High
Vulcan to Mid.

How about the 'newer' characters? Fantomex, Forget Me Not, Aquarian?

I think I'm actually being pretty generous in saying that he's mid meta because some of those other mid meta characters (ghost Rider, shadow cat, electro, blink, Cyclops, etc) would stomp him. Also, havok has just as much energy output as Cyclops and he could likely take Vader.

Also, I vote for black panther, captain America, and to move up to low meta, for Blue marvel to be put in at high herald, for ninjak to be put in at low meta, and for Spawn to be included as a high herald.

Oh yeah, when you guys suggest that a DC character moves up or down a weight class, please do me a favor and tell me whether you're talking about their new 52 version or post-crisis version.

With his powerset he could be trans (see earth x) but like u said he's a idiot. So mid herald or low

carver9
Hulk high Herald (could increase depending on mindset)
New 52 Superman High Herald
New 52 Black Adam mid Herald
Pre Black Adam high Herald
New 52 Billy low to Mid Herald
Pre Billy High Herald
Frankenstein Mid Herald
New 52 Aquaman low Herald
Diana both are High Herald
Uncuffed Diana trans tier
First Born trans tier
DCNU Orion High herald
Jane High Herald
KMC Flash trans tier
Beta Ray High Herald
Current Nova mid Herald
Blue Marvel High Herald
Death seed Sentry trans tier
Cyborg high meta
DCNU Martian Manhunter high Herald
Morlun mid Herald

Cogito
An updated list has been attempted many times before, and never successfully, but good luck to you thumb up

I'm just going to point out a couple that I think are 2+ tiers off

DOS Doomsday from low herald (wtf?) to high herald

General/Shaggy Man from mid herald to trans

Imperiex Probes from mid herald to at least high herald (regular Superman, who was HH, was ineffective until he went balls out)

Curious about these. I'm not convinced bracer-less Diana is Trans at all. Orion was easily Trans in the GL Godhead run, but no better than Mid-herald in WW. What feats does BM have to truly justify HH? Ditto DCnU MM, aside from the one page of him taking on the JL. What does Morlun have to justify Mid-herald aside from the one net feat (genuine question)?

Here's a question for people - what do you think about the mid herald tier? I actually kind of like it for those who are really powerful, but not the top dogs. I think HH should be reserved for the best (Superman, Surfer, Thor, etc) and Mid-herald should be everyone who's good but second best (WW, BRB, Gladiator, etc).

That's how I kind of always viewed it, tbh, so I agree with your thoughts.

carthage
Red Hulk, Jane Thor, Desak, Perrikus, Maxima, Skarr, Thor Girl???

krisblaze
Mid herald used to be the guys that generally compete with Superman, Surfer, Thor, but lack their absurd highs.

Cogito
and I vote to return to that condition, and stop calling everyone a high herald and pretending mid doesn't exist at all.

I would say that people like Superman, Surfer and Thor deserve to be in the trans tier after all what they have accomplished. The HH is the new MH.

Uncuffed Diana not only matched Super Doom but she tied him up and carried him out of space. She also defeated First Born who is trans tier. It's an amped Wonder Woman. That alone puts her in another tier.

I'm not naming everything BM has done but the fts are there.

Morlun? I can see why you're questioning that. I put him that tier for personal reasons.

All this debate about Marvel/DC... We should be using this as an opportunity to broaden our horizons.

Valiant: Ninjak and Archer to High Street, Bloodshot, Eternal Warrior, Armstrong and Shadowman to Low Meta. X-O Manowar to High Meta. Divinity to Trans.

Dynamite: Doc Savage to High street, Shadow to Low Meta.

Updating the current list should be priority before we start adding in other shit somebody already mentioned Star wars

Haha no. Here is a nice summation of the entire issue.

iceman24567
I don't see Wonder Woman being in the same tier as Thor, Surfer and Superman no expression

Insane Titan
Hulk is not high herald.

What we have is never going to be completely satisfactory. People will always have issues with the placements of their favourites, and there is so much vitriol on this board that people will vote against proper changes just to spite another poster.

Personally, I'd rather add new characters, than watch this thread balloon into a 20 page monstrosity where nothing was achieved.

DarkSaint85
Hulk is a high herald, no doubt about it, with some incarnations even higher.
