Big Bang feat Inconsistencies

I have noticed that there are quite a few inconsistencies in regards to the tiering of characters that have feats regarding a Big Bang.

For example, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan absorbs the energy of the Big Bang (gains this power by absorbing the Big Bang Infinity Storm from the Anti-Spiral), and is listed as Low 2-C because of it.

On the other hand, a character like Earthworm Jim and Superman (Pre-Crisis) have 3-A ratings because of tanking/attacking with the force of the same event that gives Low 2-C to some.

For some reason Gumball has a feat of tanking the Big Bang and gets 3-B.

So why are these inconsistencies present? Is there a reason? If there is a definitive reason, maybe that should be clarified either on their pages or the page of the Big Bang. Thank you for your time.
 
Well, a big bang is a contradictory concept. On the one hand it is a 4-D spacetime expansion event, but on the other, it is recurrently portrayed and withstood on a 3-D level. I agree that we have likely not treated it very consistently however, but that is because it is very hard to gauge properly.

We may or may not redefine the difference between 3-A and Low 2-C in the future though.
 
In Gumball's case it was treated as an explosion of energy, rather than an expansion of space time, thus we would use the energy given by the big bang as an explosion (3-B). If it is an expansion of space-time, then it becomes tier 2.
