I'm not obsessed with Franklin. He may be defined by those stats ( Stated to be a Universal Shaper, which is honestly just a title, like Roma , not a limitation ) , but he is constantly on a completely different level then Low 2-C or Universal Level. Inconsistencies caused him to be far higher than Low 2-C.... Then his inconsistencies got worse considering his encounter with Roma and beyond. Other than the Celestials,Beyonders',or his beginnings, name one statement that is universal. He had more Multiverse scaling + statements than actual universal feats. Even the official marvel website views Franklin as one of the strongest in existence... One of the strongest in "existence" isn't just Universal ant... That's literally the bottom of the barrel Marvel wise..
Ant... There is still a reason you want variable tiers... Because it can be implied they are also weaker than High 1-B ( 2-A ) just by a few writers . If at least a few writers, other than 1 or 2 depict them higher ( High 1-B ) then it is variable. Franklin is the same way. I already provided some writers view him a different way han just Low 2-C.
ALow 2-C cannot get Roma's attention and be too powerful to ignore just via her status alone . A Low 2-C character cannot harm a Boundless Multiverse ( Abraxas Arc ) . A Low 2-C character cannot be a threat to said Multiverse. A Low 2-C character cannot stop the Revision Wave. A low 2-C cannot be stated twice to be able to destroy a Multiverse that has every plane of reality. They wouldn't even get pass the first plane. A Low 2-C character cannot be stated as one of the most powerful in existence with most cosmic characters in marvel who matter are far stronger than Low 2-C . A Low 2-C character cannot scare Galactus power wise , A Low 2-C/Universal Shaper character can't even be comparable to the Celestials ( So many times were stated at Multiversal levels , the most being Future Foundation and Ultimates, comics canon to said Low 2-C , if he was Low 2-C, the Cosmic Cubes would stomp him because of far higher levels of Low 2-C, then the Celestials would murderstomp him ) , Since Ultimates Eternity was implied High 1-B via Matthew's reasoning involving the Crossroads of Infinity , A Low 2-C character creating universes at a time cannot create something like that , and quite a few more. If all these different set of writers portray him differently than Low 2-C.... and even 2-A based on Captain Britain and Abraxas arc, i personally feel they deserve equal treatment... As long as we give ample reasoning for it.
