The following is an ongoing attempt to preemptively answer some of those "Verse A vs Verse B" fights that sometimes come up. In short, I plan on placing the series in tiers based on roughly how powerful they are compared to one another. Note that this will largely focus on the strongest few characters in each series. Also, in low fantasy and some sci-fi settings with a fairly realistic version of Earth, only the verse's creations will be counted.

List

 * God Tier - Includes characters that are players on a multiversal level.
 * DC Comics - One of two massively powerful comic book multiverses. Highlights include the Anti-Monitor, who devoured countless universes, the Monitor, his equally powerful counterpart that defends the multiverse, The Endless, a collection of embodied multiversal constants, and so on. Superman, even at his most OP, is barely a footnote.
 * Marvel Comics -
 * Universal Tier - Contains characters capable of making or breaking a universe.
 * Cosmic Tier - Includes characters that can make or destroy anything from a star to a galaxy.
 * Planetary Tier - Characters can make or destroy a moon or planet.
 * Geographic Tier - Contains characters that can change the geography of a world, wiping mountain ranges or continents off the face of the map.
 * Reality - The combined nuclear arsenal of the world is an unknown quantity, but is on the lower end of this range. Other components of human civilization, such as electricity used and other forms of energy produced, are less notable on a broad scale, but help cement our position on this tier.
 * Nuclear - Characters are comparable to the effects of nuclear weapons.
 * Limited - The bottom tier.
 * Harry Potter - Despite the presence of magic, this series is pretty close in terms of power to its real life counterpart, Earth in the 1990's. The most powerful wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort never use spells that can destroy more than, say, a large building. The strongest magical creatures, such as Dragons and the Nundu, are roughly on par with these two. If the magical component of the continuity were separate, it would be under the Limited tier.

Unsorted - Castlevania, DC Comics, Discworld, Doctor Who, Fallout, Gurren Lagann, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Legend of Zelda, Mario, Marvel Comics, Mega Man, Metal Gear, Mother/Earthbound, My Little Pony G4, Pikmin, Star Wars, Undertale
