Attempt At A Unified Character Tiering List (Credit to Deadliest Fictional Warrior for the Overman and Warlord tier
names, and Marvel for the Herald, Skyfather, Cube Being, Celestial, and Abstract tier names) Level 1: Normals Normals are, as the name implies, pretty much just normal humans with no abilities that exceed peak human. The vast, vast, VAST majority of fictional characters fall into this tier (obviously). Note that there are characters in this tier who are stronger than any human could actually be, since this tier peaks at absolute peak-human in every possible way (i.e comic book peak human). Typical destructive capacity for this tier begins at 0 and ends at a bit below wall level. Typical speed capabilities begin at 0 and end at Usain Bolt's running speed (around 25-30 MPH). This tier is also known as street level in some circles. Low-Normal: Begins at the smallest, most pathetic creature possible and includes anything weaker than a typical young human. A pack of low-normal creatures can still be quite nasty depending on the size (ever seen army ants take down a full-grown elephant?) Mid-Normal: Includes most typical adult humans, including probably you. High-Normal: Includes high-end specialized athletes (i.e. Lebron James, Usain Bolt, Anderson Silva, etc.), decathletes, bodybuilders, martial-arts champs, etc, also including particularly strong animals. Real humans actually only occupy the lower half of this area because the upper end of this tier involves people who are peak-human in more areas than are typically physically possible. Level 2: Overmen Overmen (or as Nietzsche would refer to them, ubermenschen), are characters with some kind of power exceeding that of a normal human being. They range from simple humans with some minor form of telepathy or extra strength/speed, to somewhat powerful telepaths, to generally powerful beings with the capability of threatening entire cities with their power. Some Overmen are strong enough to take out hundreds or thousands of normal humans at once. Typical destructive capacity for this tier begins at around wall level, while the most powerful Overmen are capable of destroying skyscrapers and other large buildings in very short order. Note that Overmen, even higher-level Overmen, can still be outwitted and beaten by Normal-level characters with specialized equipment or high intelligence (think Batman). Typical speed capabilities begin around typical human speed and can range all the way up to Mach 2 or higher. This tier comprises some of the more powerful street level beings and some meta level beings as well. Low-Overman: Contains a range of characters, including characters who would be considered Normal if not for some supernatural ability that gives them an edge over Normal-level characters, also includes generally powerful warriors who have augmentations that allow them to exceed peak-human levels in a variety of areas (think Captain America, Adam Jensen, Batman with some of his special suits). Lowlevel Overman feats include the ability to casually destroy walls, trees, and possibly small cars, can also include telepathy of small objects, ability to benchpress a ton or more, etc. Mid-Overman: These characters are usually clearly stronger than normal human beings and can pose a serious threat to a neighborhood or to a group of armed humans. Faster-than-the-eye combat speed begins here, these characters can usually bust small buildings such as houses with their power. High-Overman: The higher level Overman-tier characters are usually city-level threats, capable of feats
such as supersonic travel/combat speed, significant levels of telekinesis (though probably not things such as mindrape which is a higher level feat), the ability to lift objects such as houses and to destroy larger buildings with brute force or energy. The most powerful Overman level characters could probably bust nearly any human made structure, including the largest skyscrapers and monuments, when you get up at the highest levels of this tier you're no longer talking about sending the police to deal with them, you're talking about sending in the army. Level 3: Warlords Warlords are, as the name implies, one man armies, packing incredible destructive capacity (especially from the perspective of an average human). Warlord-level characters are typically found in shounentype anime, with heroes and villains zipping across the landscape faster than the eye can see, leaving shattered buildings in their wake. These characters typically START as city-level threats, but the most powerful among them can become planetary threats, capable of flying around an entire planet and wiping out cities. Typical Warlord-level destructive capacity starts at skyscraper-busting, the most powerful Warlords can create Tsar Bomba (50+ megatons)-level bursts of destruction. Speed capabilities typically begin at faster-than-the-eye and can go all the way up to massively hypersonic among the most powerful of these characters. Mid or high- meta level characters make up this tier. Low-Warlord: Low-Warlord level characters are capable of busting entire city blocks in short order, making them obvious threats to cities and lower-leveled characters. Flight begins to become the rule of the day among characters of this level and above, though some fictional verses may not grant characters this ability at this level. Mid-Warlord: Mid-Warlords are typically townbusters, able to generate enough destructive energy to wipe out towns or even small cities. The natural equivalent of the capabilities of a character at this level would be an F5 tornado. By now, most characters at this level can travel and fight at supersonic speeds, enabling them to speedblitz most characters in the Overman tier and win without even dirtying their hands. High-Warlord: High-level Warlords are easily capable of busting entire cities in short order, many of them can travel and fight at hypersonic speeds. This is the level when a character typically becomes a planetary threat. In a lot of fictions that involve fighting and superpowers, this is the level at which things become serious, with a lot of final villains taking up residence in this area of the Warlord tier. Many high-level Warlords could defeat verses such as the Narutoverse or Avatarverse with little trouble, most modern militaries (with WMDs and hypersonic jets) can be found at this level. Level 4: Tyrants A Tyrant-level being (not to be confused with the Marvel character Tyrant who is MUCH stronger), refers to a being that is capable of either wiping out all life on a planet or wiping out a planet (or planets) completely. If high-Warlord is the level where things get serious, this may be the level where things start getting silly, as most fictions, even involving superpowered beings, don't have Tyrant-level beings, a fictional universe with multiple Tyrant-level beings can safely be considered a mid-tier verse. Most RPGs notably have Tyrant-level beings (usually low-Tyrant, sometimes mid) as final bosses. A Tyrant-level being could potentially rule a large chunk of the galaxy (ala Frieza), provided they had enough minions to carry out their will and no one more powerful showed up, in fact, the name for this level refers to Frieza, a typical Tyrant-level being who flew around the galaxy, imposing his will by committing genocide and occasionally slagging planets. Typical Tyrant-level destructive capability begins around Tsar Bomba level and ramps all the way up to casual Jupiter-busting. Tyrant-level speed capabilities typically begin with supersonic and can go all the way up to relativistic levels of combat
and reaction speed. This level includes things such as alpha-level mutants and high- meta level characters, some people even tier some of the higher-level Tyrants at herald-level. This level can also be called sub-Herald. Low-Tyrant: At low-Tyrant we have beings capable of calamitous damage, able to cause mega disaster-level damage, usually with a single handwave. Most characters at this level could defeat the entire HST (Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece-verses). This tier includes islandbusters, mountain busters, and multi-mountain busters. The entire industrial/military capacity of humanity would probably place humans as a collective species at the lower end of this level. Destructive capacity at this level starts at Tsar Bomba strength and goes up to the level of the Chicxulub impact that killed the dinosaurs. Mid-Tyrant: A mid-Tyrant level being is typically a life wiper, a being capable of wiping out all life on a planet in very short order. Continent and moon-busters are found at this level, including Saiyan and Namek saga DBZ characters and life-wipers such as Lavos and Mewtwo. Beings in this level stop short of destroying planets entirely, but with their capabilities they don't usually need to. Most characters at this level are capable of hypersonic combat speed and flight, though again, that varies on the context of the series. High-Tyrant: At this level we have characters who can bust planets, though planet-busting is not necessarily a REQUIREMENT for this level, busting a planet is considered at least a high-Tyrant level feat. Characters at this level are easily solar-system level threats, though they can't bust the star or the system itself, they can wipe out the planets very quickly, flying around at speeds rapidly outpacing modern spacecraft. Level 5: Heralds Here we have the classic Herald level, named for the servants of Galactus who fly around, warning planets of Galactus' impending arrival. This could also be referred to as the superhero tier, as most modern well-known comic book superheroes can be found at this level. Typical Herald-level abilities include planetbusting, starbusting, and faster-than-light travel. The majority of Herald-level characters can travel and fight at speeds exceeding that of light. Most Heralds, especially mid and high-level Heralds, can casually beat universes such as Dragonball Z and Star Wars. There is a wide range of powerlevels found within this tier, they range from characters who get laughed out of most comic book versus fights (i.e. Goku), to characters who are considered insanely powerful even within their own verses (i.e. Silver Surfer). You don't get many characters more powerful than Herald level because it's hard to exceed this level of power without being considered broken and boring, Pre-Crisis Superman is considered a VERY low-tier member of the tier just above Herald and he had to get a massive depowering. Typical Herald-level destructive capacity starts at around Jupiter-level and can go all the way up to the equivalent of a hypernova (destruction of everything within hundreds of light years), while speed can range from massively hypersonic all the way up to billions of times faster than light. High-herald level characters and low-tier Skyfathers have been lumped into a sort of subskyfather level known as Transcendent, but for the purposes of this list, the Transcendent level is simply high-Herald and low-Skyfather. Low-Herald: Low-level Heralds can be as weak as hypersonic planetbusters, though feats such as starbusting and lightspeed travel exist even here. The strongest characters in Dragonball Z and the power players in Dragonball GT, who are debateably relativistic starbusters, occupy the lower-third of this level. Low-level Heralds are usually not the ones who fly around the galaxy warning people about Galactus, but are instead simply incredibly powerful fighters or fighters who possess some broken ability (FTL travel, high-level soul/mindrape, etc.) which gives them the capability of contending with
Tyrant-level beings or below. Mid-Herald: The typical FTL starbusting galaxy-trotting herald can be found at this level, along with most modern superheroes such as Superman and Wonder Woman. Comic book fights between two midHeralds can be great fun, though characters at this level rarely show up in films, film superheroes are VASTLY depowered compared to their comic book counterparts. High-Herald: This is where you start to get characters that are a bit too powerful to be interesting, almost all characters by this level are FTL, and you have REAL galactic threats here, characters at High-Herald can traverse galaxies quickly and can bust solar systems (and even MULTIPLE solar systems) with ease. The most powerful Heralds can take almost anything the natural universe can throw at them, some even tanking things such as black holes and gamma ray bursts. A powerful enough Herald can become a universal-level threat, though in most verses with characters that powerful, something even MORE powerful usually exists to stop them. Level 6: Skyfathers With this level we get to the first cosmics, characters powerful enough to easily threaten the universe, manipulate and destroy on a galactic level, and in some cases possessing sub-universal reality warping capabilities. Skyfather-level feats can be considered godlike in nature, in fact, it's really only appropriate for characters to call themselves gods if they're at this level or higher, anything else makes a mockery of the term (see DBZ's Tyrant-level gods for an example). High-level Skyfathers (such as Odin) command whole PANTHEONS of gods, including Herald and Skyfather-level beings. You'll RARELY see a protagonist at this level or higher, because with such a powerful character, you run into two problems: either they can do so much that they're boring, or they rarely utilize their powers and look stupid for holding back. It's pretty much a given that Skyfather-level characters are at light speed (almost always massively FTL), it doesn't make sense for a galaxybuster to not easily be able to escape the galaxy that they're busting. Skyfather-level destructive feats can typically range from multi solarsystem all the way up to being able to bust a galactic supercluster (10 million+ light years), a significant chunk of the universe at large. Low-Skyfather: In this level are beings that are easily capable of controlling affairs on a galactic scale through a variety of means. They can easily beat most superpowered beings in single combat, via either speedblitz or mass destructive levels of power, and can usually tank even the most powerful cosmic events, including hypernovas and black holes. Feats at this level can include the physical manipulation or even creation of planets and stars, combat and travel at billions of times faster than the speed of light, telepathic control of billions of beings spanning entire star systems, and other incredible, broken-level feats. Pre-Crisis Superman is considered to be in the lower part of this level. LowSkyfathers usually fall short of outright galaxy busting, but are usually powerful enough to rule over the galaxy they inhabit (or are at least a MAJOR player in said galaxy). Mid-Skyfather: Mid-Skyfathers are typical godlike beings, usually capable of busting galaxies, creating planets and stars, and other exceptionally impressive feats. At this tier, the reality-warping aspects of the typical Skyfather become quite evident, a lot of mid-level Skyfather beings are viewed as being omnipotent or close to it within their universe, though they might still be somewhat limited outside their own section of the cosmos. High-Skyfather: High-level Skyfathers are usually multi-galaxy busters by this point, ruling over a large section of the cosmos (or perhaps even the entire universe in single-verse fictions). Typically, verses with high-level Skyfathers will have several beings of Skyfather strength, over which the high-
level Skyfather rules. Having a protagonist this strong that actually STAYS this strong is extremely rare, having a villain this powerful is slightly more common. A lot of mid-tier verses are ruled by a being of around this level of strength, or at least have one or two beings of this strength. Top-tier Skyfathers may have universal-level influence, though only very rarely can they actually destroy the universe. Level 7: Cube Beings So named for the hypothetical power possessed by a sentient Cosmic Cube with the power to control and destroy the universe, Cube Level beings are essentially just that, beings that can destroy the entire universe. These are the first beings that actually appear to be omnipotent, though their omnipotence is limited by a variety of factors, among them scope (might only be omnipotent over the space of a single universe), knowledge (may not even KNOW of their powers, ala Haruhi), and durability (universal-level reality-warping, but can be shot to death). This tier deals mostly with omnipotence over the space of a single universe, or in the case of high-level Cube beings, some degree of omnipotence beyond that. Once you hit this tier, it starts to become harder to compare characters on the basis of their feats, and power must instead be extrapolated from the size and relative strength of the multiverse in question. Low-Cube: A low-level Cube Being might be able to control the universe up TO the point of but not including destroying it. They may have some kind of leash, a higher-level being or force restricting their activities within the universe, or may be limited by their own knowledge or body. There are a disproportionate number of protagonists who fall somewhere around this level (such as Haruhi Suzumiya or Bruce Almighty) as opposed to those who are merely Skyfathers. Most low-level Cube Beings can't actually CREATE universes. Mid-Cube: A mid-level Cube Being is, for the most part, a universe buster. Some can create universes, though that's usually a high-level Cube or even a Celestial-level feat. Most mid-level Cube Beings have full knowledge of the scope of their powers and are easily capable of exerting omnipotence over a single universe. With no stronger beings to get in their way, mid-level Cube Beings and higher are essentially omnipotent within single-verse fictions. High-Cube: A high-level Cube Being not only has control over its universe, but can possibly even birth a new universe, and has knowledge (and perhaps influence) of universes outside of its own (if they exist). A high-level Cube Being may be able to create lesser Cube Beings to rule over nascent universes, though this again is another feat seen more often among Celestial-level beings or higher. Typically, Cube-level beings from multiverses should be considered more powerful than Cube-level beings from single verses. Again, this can depend on feats. Level 8: Celestials This tier, of course, is named after the Celestials, a race of powerful cosmic beings from Marvel Comics. These beings are capable of destroying and creating universes and manipulating events on a multiversal scale, their abilities extending even to the destruction of multiverses themselves. Celestiallevel beings are a step above Cube-level beings mostly because of the size of the verses they inhabit (typically appearing in larger verses than Cube-level beings appear in, though in a lot of cases these beings co-exist in very powerful verses). These beings can typically shrug off most telekinesis/soulrape abilities, as well as Big Bang-level attacks. Low-Celestial: A low-Celestial level being would usually be capable of creating universes and manipulating more than one verse. Creating mid-level Cube beings and higher would be a Celestial-
level feat. Mid-Celestial: The typical Marvel Celestial would be at this level, with casual universe-busting capabilities, and many with multiverse-busting capabilities (usually no more than a few at a time). Midlevel Celestials are usually completely immune to universe-busting attacks, though variances in durability do occur. High-Celestial: A high-level Celestial is, like the high-level Skyfather with other Skyfathers, typically in charge of other Celestial-level beings, possibly even capable of creating new Celestial-level beings. A high-level Celestial may have control of a certain aspect of the multiverse in general, or may simply be capable of busting/creating a large (but not massively large) level of universes. Level 9: Abstracts Abstract-level beings are typically the embodiments of a concept, such as death, life, time, eternity, etc. Other times, they're simply massively megaversal-level beings with the ability to easily trump Cubelevel and Celestial-level feats. Many high-tier verses will have at least one Abstract-level character, serving as either its god or as a supreme evil being that has to be fought. At this level, debating from a versus standpoint gets extremely difficult, as these characters are, even on a multiversal level, seemingly omnipotent. The most powerful Abstracts are able to threaten all of existence, even when thousands of universes are present. This is the last tier on which its beings can be reliably fought, even by Normal-level heroes with sufficient means. Low-Abstract: A low-Abstract level being can sometimes be confused for a high-tier Celestial, the difference mainly lies in the level of control it exerts over the multiverse itself. Low-level abstracts can typically be found as the supreme gods of relatively small multiverses (Arceus, for example) or as supremely evil forces with undefined power (Giygas). A low-level Abstract will usually be able to crush multiversal threats, but can show inferiority to Abstracts or higher-level beings from larger multiverses. Mid-Abstract: The abstract beings that rule over certain concepts in very large verses can be labeled as mid-level Abstracts, clearly subservient to higher level beings but with an omnipotent degree of control over one or more important aspects of existence. Other mid-level Abstracts can simply be classified as a being with control over several dozen universes, ranging to possibly several hundred, or perhaps nigh-omnipotence over several very large verses. Casual creation of Celestials and multiverses is a mid-level Abstract feat. High-Abstract: Once you're at high-Abstract, it stops becoming less about what a being CAN do and more about what they can't, as high-Abstract is essentially the beginning of true nigh-omnipotence. Beings with high-Abstract level abilities can traverse universes and dimensions at will, create large multiverses and act on a mega-multiversal level. High-Abstract level beings can still be challenged or fought, but typically only by one thing (unless of course you're a being at a higher level). High-Abstract beings sometimes have the means to gain control over or destroy all of existence with considerable effort, making them the first true omniversal threats on this list. Level 10: Eternals Eternals are true nigh-omnipotent beings, capable of controlling massive numbers of multiverses, or, in some cases, all of existence with only one or two small caveats. Again, with Eternals, the question isn't what can they do, it's what can't they do. The less limits an Eternal has on their omnipotence, the higher they are on the pecking order. Most Eternals do not have to worry about ever dying, hence the
name of the tier. Low-Eternal: The lower third of the Eternal tier is essentially the lowest tier of characters that can be conventionally defeated, their omnipotence has a number of limits on it and it may not be nighomnipotence at all, they may be low in the pecking order of a group of Eternal-level beings (this only happens in VERY high-tier verses such as Tenchi Muyo or the big comic verses). These beings can wreck multiverses, warp reality on a seemingly limitless scale, but can also be beaten by superior Eternals or (gasp!) lower tiered beings. Mid-Eternal: A mid-Eternal is typically a being with control over much of existence via some kind of power either inborn or granted by a higher-level being. An Infinity Gauntlet user would be considered a mid-Eternal, as would the Chousin from Tenchi Muyo. Mid-Eternals rarely, if ever, are threatened by lower level beings. While there are few limits on a mid-Eternal's power, these limits are usually notable and usually plural, there might be a significant aspect of existence blocked from a mid-Eternal's reach. All mid-Eternals have some significant level of omniversal control over a large multiverse. High-Eternal: High level Eternals are omnipotent all but for one or two tiny things that prevent them from being so, usually due to the fact that they serve under a higher power. Such beings include The Living Tribunal and The Presence, in fact this level is known as Living Tribunal level on Marvel tier lists. Essentially, these beings are omnipotent unless someone else steps in and stops them from doing something. Level 11: Supreme Beings The 5 Rules Of Supreme Beings In Fiction: 1. They are omnipotent: They can do ANYTHING (logic notwithstanding). If it's ever shown that they can't do something, they are disqualified from this tier. 2. They are omniscient: They know EVERYTHING. If it's ever shown that there's something they don't know, they are disqualified from this tier. 3. They are omnipresent: They can literally be ANYWHERE at ANY TIME. Their speed is essentially infinite. If they can't do this, they are disqualified from this tier. 4. They answer to no one. No other supreme being can be above them, nothing can ever defeat them. If they are ever defeated or shown answering to a higher power, they are disqualified from this tier. 5. There can be only one Supreme Being per fictional verse. Supreme Beings are completely, utterly omnipotent. They can do anything they want and they answer to no one, with absolutely no exceptions. Any exception shown to this automatically drops them to high-Eternal. Out of all 11 tiers, there are less Supreme Beings than any other tier (you can count the number of confirmed Supreme Beings in fiction on one hand). Since by their very nature they can't ever be defeated or challenged, they tend to be rather boring from a storytelling perspective and typically only crop up as plot devices (i.e. The One Above All from Marvel) or at the very end of a story when someone ascends to this level.
Universe Tierings Junk- : Junk- verses are as low in terms of power as a universe can go, these verses feature nearly all Low-Normal characters with very few Mid-Normals prominently featured. Typically these verses feature characters less powerful than normal humans, some particularly weak Junk- verses can be soloed by a single average human being. Examples: A Bugs Life, Osmosis Jones, Rugrats Junk: Junk verses are universes that mostly feature ordinary humans or humanoids of equivalent power. There are a few High-Normals featured in these universes but frequently its just ordinary people with no special powers or abilities to speak of. The most common type of fictional universe by far. Examples: Romeo and Juliet, iCarly, Azumanga Daioh Junk+ : Junk+ verses typically feature ordinary humans with special fighting skils or strong creatures with strength near or equal to that of a peak human. Junk+ verses arent that much of a step up from Junk verses, the different is that Junk+ verses can be stacked with skilled human fighters. Occasionally a low or maybe even mid-Overman character might show up, featured as an especially powerful character compared to the universes ordinary fighters. Examples: Totally Spies, Kill Bill, 24, WWE Low- : Low- verses typically feature characters with above peak-human abilities, with many characters in the low to mid Overman range. Such verses feature characters with wall to house busting abilities and superhuman speed up to bullet-timer level. While these verses pale in comparison to the verses higher up the tier list, they feature many characters who can do massive damage to large groups of ordinary humans. Examples: Kim Possible, Martin Mystery, Deus Ex, Chronicle Low: Low-tier verses typically feature characters that are clearly identifiable as superhuman, frequently above street level and entering into the lower tiers of the meta level (slotting in between mid-Overman and low-Warlord on the character tiering chart). Such characters may possess supersonic combat speed and the ability to destroy large buildings or entire city blocks, with a wide variety of physical, magical, and psionic combat skills, though low-tier verses are easily soloable by citybusters or above. Examples: The Matrix, Once Upon A Time, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zelda Low+: Characters in Low+ tier verses are significantly more powerful than those in the lower parts of the tier, with powerful combat abilities including hypersonic combat speed and citybusting potential. There are many verses that slot into this tier, as this is the tier that a lot of anime shounen combat series find themselves in and there are plenty of video game verses in this tier as well. While usually treated as fodder on most serious vs. debating boards, these verses can still produce impressive characters and fights. This tier features characters on all levels of the Warlord tier, with occasional Tyrant-level character appearances (as a final enemy, usually)
Examples: The HST (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece), Dragonball, Mega Man, human civilization (with tech) Mid- : Mid- tier verses feature characters with the power to destroy mountains, islands, countries, with perhaps a few life wipers involved as well. These verses are a step up from the Low-tiered verses, but don't usually involve planetary-level destruction. Most mid- verses feature at least one character that could solo the entire HST, while surpassing meta-level on the Marvel tier list and approaching herald. Threats in this tier don't usually span more than one world. Mid- verses usually feature low and mid Tyrant level characters. Examples: Yu Yu Hakusho, Bayonetta, Chrono Trigger/Cross Mid: Mid-tier verses usually feature at least one planet buster. While solidly in the middle of our tier list, they are usually viewed as strong universes, though they usually do serve as fodder for highertiered characters such as high heralds, skyfathers, or above. FTL combat speed is typically first seen in verses in this tier, though the number of verses in this tier with FTL characters is small, instead speed usually runs the gamut from hypersonic to relativistic, with characters featured in the mid and high Tyrant and low Herald range. Examples: Dragonball Z/GT, Star Wars, Ronin Warriors, Project ARMS Mid+ : Mid+ tiered verses are a step above the normal mid-level verses, they tend to feature Herald characters of all stripes and occasionally will have a Skyfather-level character show up as god of the universe. A good portion of Mid+ verses feature FTL combat speed and starbusting or even solar system busting, broken psychic and soul-based abilities are also frequent in these types of universes. Examples: Sailor Moon, Space Runaway Ideon, Darkstalkers High- : The beginning of the upper tier of verses, High- verses usually feature multiple Skyfather level characters (and possibly low Cube level characters) but usually fall short of having a universe buster/creator (but occasionally do), these tend to be quite powerful verses with action spanning across planets, star systems, or occasionally even galaxies. High- tiered verses usually have several characters who could solo a mid-tier verse quite easily. Examples: Warhammer 40K, Disney, Bastard!!, The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya High: These are verses that frequently feature at least one character (but usually several) that can destroy a universe or multiverse, and many characters in the Herald and Skyfather levels (with some featuring multiple Cube-level or even Celestial-level characters). These universes frequently feature elements such as cross-dimensional travel or dimensional destruction which allows the opportunity for characters to display universe-level feats. These verses also often times feature a Celestial or Abstractlevel character as a supreme villain or creator god. Examples: Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Transformers, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Saint Seiya High+ : These verses distinguish themselves from other High-tiered verses in that they have multiple Abstract-level nigh-omnipotents with the capability to destroy/create many universes/dimensions at once. These universes are usually overflowing with Celestial and Abstract level characters, though they
fall short of the absolute top tiers because they lack truly omnipotent or Eternal-level characters. Make no mistake, however, these verses are VERY high up the tier list. Examples: Digimon, Cthulhu Mythos, Valiant Comics Godly- : These universes distinguish themselves by featuring at least one Eternal-level character, but sometimes more than one, and are often sprinkled with Cube-level, Celestial-level, and Abstract-level characters as well. Though these verses don't feature high-level Eternals, they can still easily best 99% or more of all the other fictional universes out there. Examples: Xenogears, Shin Megami Tensei, Doctor Who, Manifold Series Godly: These universes contain either multiple mid-level Eternals or one high-level Eternal. By rule, these universes have at some point featured an omniversal threat or an appearance by an omnipotent being. Because the universes on this level feature either a true omnipotent or a VERY close approximation, they're up at pretty much the tip top of the vs. battle pecking order, and VERY few (if any) characters can solo them. Examples: Slayers, Demonsbane, Dark Tower Godly+: At the absolute top of the heap are these universes which all feature multiple high-level Eternal beings and usually a Supreme Being as well. Most of the universes at this level are long lasting comic book based universes with histories of massively broken/ludicrously overpowered characters. No character can solo a Godly+ universe but these universes have literally thousands of characters that can solo even high-tiered universes. Examples: Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Image Comics, Tenchi Muyo
