Today it's Starbrand rework time
Sandbox


New Powers

Space Survival (Can survive in space, doesn't need to breath)
Matter Manipulation (Macro-Quantum Manipulation: Manipulated graviton particles, massless spin-2 bosons)

Power Nullification
Explosion and gravity are kinda of a matter manipulation thing so...

What power is Starbrand creating an impossible object called penrose triangle but as a solid construct?

New Tiers

Starbrand uses the same source for power also we saw when Kevin found a Kree starbrand they were both stated to be equals in raw power, so while they might not necessarily use powers the same way they should both have the same limits.

He clearly is scaling and should be scaling with Heralds level, but can be either 3-C or Low 1-C as per the current scaling.

At least Galaxy level (Blasted Hulk to space, blasted Thor, hurt Hyperion)
In this occasion Starbrand himself stated to be holding back which was very scary to the avengers. So clearly he should upscale from Galaxy.

Low Complex Multiverse level (Killed a Beyonder that severely hurt Thor and Hyperion, should be comparable to other Starbrands like Brandy who with a Phoenix Force host reset a single reality and later reset the 615 realities destroyed by Multiversal Masters of Evil)

There is also Brandy One shooting 616 mephisto multiple times through 616 timeline, also beating "the hell" out of him. With Mephisto being Low 1-C, although this cost Brandy years of lifespan so while it should still be within the limits of the full power of the starbrand it might not be scaled to normal power.

Killing a beyonder (done by Kevin) and reseting the 615 earths (Done by Brandy) were both feats done by sacrificing themselfs and using every bit of power they had which resulted in them being killed for doing so, as such those should be their limits, both times they were not bound by their normal power level as their full power was consumed.
Lifting Strength: At least Class M (Should be comparable to Brandy who arm wrestled Namor)

I couldn't really find any feat for Kevin that could serve for lifting strenght, not even a scan for his 50 tons which is used now, but seems unbelievable to scale Starbrand bellow Captain America, it was also a feat done very casually by brandy who was avoiding using her powers as they could age her faster.

Intelligence
Intelligence: At least Genius, the powers of the Starbrand help expand his mind, his cosmic senses makes it easy to learn the physics of a dyson sphere, considered a major in engeneering to be easy.

Don't know why he was average before but the cosmic awareness cames with knowledge and basically turns him into a genius that can learn things much faster than any normal human, it's also implied he needs understanding of molecules atoms and particles to manipulate them.

Actually, perhaps it could be "Up to Low 1-C, higher with Self-Destruction", since it was his self-destruction that one-shot the Beyonder who stomped Thor and Hyperion.

I thought that too but I will let staff say something first
 
I definitely agree with Low 1-C, and I think the profile looks good. A minor nitpick though is that I think each feat listed as a justification should be separated by a period instead of a comma
 
Seems ok, I'd say, overall. In the sandbox you put earth manipulation scans in place of flight's, though.
The telekinesis feat is performed by another Starbrand, correct? Does it scale to Kevin out of all the Starbrands being comparable or what?
His cosmic awareness could very well go alongside Enhanced Senses, one doesn't exclude the other.
I don't see him resisting Kolobus's heat, just talking to them, maybe you could add another scan to that post?
Genius Intelligence should be added to the P&A as well.

I also don't feel confident in scaling him to Brandy, she has an external power up in the form of the Phoenix Force, while Kevin doesn't.
What's the justification for his stamina, range (energy projection and outerversal)

Lastly, your sandbox needs some clean-up in the grammar and syntax department, but it is good overall

Sounds reasonable.
 
I was not expecting someone so fast

Well... He is flying on that scan

All of them have the same source and get the same powers and weaknesses, but if it makes you feel any better When he made the stone construct he was moving earth with his mind so...

Sure
I don't see him resisting Kolobus's heat, just talking to them, maybe you could add another scan to that post?
It's complicated, the planet's temperature was increasing the closer Kolobus was of Earth Starbrand went straight to him being close to him means having resistance to temperature, he also resisted a flame attack from people influenced by Kolobus
Genius Intelligence should be added to the P&A as well.
It's ok I guess I just never really understood the need to add that when there is an entire section for it.
I also don't feel confident in scaling him to Brandy, she has an external power up in the form of the Phoenix Force, while Kevin doesn't.
What? Brandy wasn't amped by Phoenix Force she was just helped by Echo which was phoenix force host in some specific situations, if something when she helped reset the heroes reborn reality it's stated that the phoenix force and the starbrand are primordial forces so they are even somewhat comparable although I wouldn't put much thought into that as it was Jason Aaron.
What's the justification for his stamina, range (energy projection and outerversal)
I really can't find anything for stamina, as for range I'm sure reseting 615 realities means outversal range.
Sounds reasonable.
I will see to that

True, I thought you had miplaced them

Sure, good enough.

Sounds reasonable, though for the second scan you should specify he used a forcefield.

Right, I misread both the sandbox and the first scan, when the two Brandys talk to each other. Should be ok, then.

Yeah, but I'd say then up to possibly or likely outerversal, since we are talking about scaling him to another character, who did a combined feat and with one application of her powers, which doesn't mean it can extend to all others. Also, Brandy and the Phoenix host may very well have been outerversal only together and not when taken individually.

I should probably have specified he was flying instead of saying he made a construct, so I will fix that.

Ok.

You agreed with the tiers that Eseseso proposed so are you saying that there is no need for 3-C and I should just have "Low 1-C higher with self destruction"?

Also I questioned in the OP but you never said anything, what power is creating a Penrose triangle? It's supposed to be impossible to be made as 3D construct but Star brand made it anyways.

Uhm, I'd still keep the 3-C, since it seems to be a more average/baseline level of power.

Uhm, unless it's an optical illusion such as some real life sculptures of that shape, maybe we it can be labeled as Minor Dimensional Manipulation or Minor Spatial Manipulation.

Ok then, I will make the changes in my sandbox and I will wait to see what the other staff says.

It's not an optical illusion, at least is not supposed to be we can see people standing on it. Since you don't seem so sure I will see what other staff says otherwise I will just put one of those.
 
I also agree with what Saman has accepted here. 🙏
