Of course that was just the top ten Superman and not a level by level listing.
I'd be interested in the House of El members putting together a list from weakest incarnation to most powerful at all levels on the Superman message board without the input of haters, trolls, etc... Like Phil just did the post crisis superman 26 years of continuity.
When it's all said and done, I have a feeling Val Zod will be right up there with DCnU Superman. They're already calling him incredibly powerful and he's going up against a bunch of Apokolips Gods in World's End.
Lol. And people say he's overused as a character and archetype.
Anyway, to pick some nits, as much as I love my Wildstorm boys, The High is likely mid herald, not HH (he was as much hype as feats to back it up), and Apollo is low herald, not mid. I can't speak to any New52 versions, but it seemed like the above list(s) were using the WS versions.
Also, we don't have such a thing as high/mid/low Trans., so those distinctions are more subjective than most. Where they rank in relation to one another seems fairly accurate, though.
Not on your life. Rodney Rabbit gets his powers from genetically altered carrots. He's more of an alternate reality Captain America, Deathstroke, or other lab experiment. That is unless they gave him a total overhaul, and tossed his original origin out.
I actually love The High, he was an awesome subversion of the archetype, in a way that his WS peer Majestic never quite managed. And if he had more opportunities for straight-up battle feats, I think he would have ultimately justified a HH placement. But yeah, he's not there imo.
Cool list, I'd probably move a lot of characters out of the high herald level, above and below, but it's always good to see different views of characters. I wonder how Abhi, Rao, Phil, and the one and only Jellyrobes would rank them
