Expurgatio
I've been working on this for quite a while, so let's get right in!
Madness Combat Tiering
A great comrade, Bambu, went ahead and calculated an important feat:
Jesus casually rips off a ceiling: Around the middle of 9-A. Considering the various bouts Jesus has with Hank throughout the series, and how there's no reason to believe Jesus' telekinesis feat is an outlier or massively different than his AP, it's reasonable to scale the verse's main characters to this feat. So, the following will be achieved:
Hank: Tier: At least 9-B, likely higher. 9-B to 9-A with weapons | 9-A | At least 9-A | At least 9-A
Jesus: Tier: 9-A
Sanford & Deimos: Tier: At least 9-B, up to 9-A with weapons | 9-A
The Auditor: Tier: At least 9-A. Unknow with the Improbability Drive | At least 9-A, possibly higher. Possibly 8-C with creation. Unknow with the Improbability Drive
Tricky: Tier: 9-A. Unknow with Portable Improbability Drive | At least 9-A. Unknow with Portable Improbability Drive
Agency Against Hank Wimbleton: Tier: 10-A, higher with weapons | 9-C, higher with weapons | At least 9-C, higher with weapons | At least 9-A | At least 9-A | At least 9-A | At least 9-A
Ability Additions
Now, quite a few things are missing from each of these profiles, so I'll go over them, one at a time.
Hank, Jesus, and Tricky: In all keys (Except for Tricky's newest key, which I will outline later, and Hank's first key), they should gain Type 2 & 4 Immortality. On several occasions, the three of them survive incredibly lethal wounds and amputation and shrug it off. As well, all of them sporadically revive due to the Improbability Drive, justifying Type 4. It is also noted that Hank and Jesus' Immortality Type 4 is not combat applicable, but Tricky's immortality is far more consistent than his counterparts, as well as faster, as shown often. This is shown when in Madness Combat 6, Tricky is revived soon after receiving very lethal blows, right into his Demon Tricky key. As well, this showcases Tricky quite literally eating a hotdog while missing half of his head, and Hank fighting with his jaw and body badly mangled. Not to mention, in Madness Combat 8, Jesus is able to stand up even with his face nearly blown off entirely. Granted, he dies soon afterwards, but he was not bothered much until then.
Jesus: Jesus gets a high resistance to pain (Madness Combat 8 showcases him storming an entire facility while deathly sick, as well as tanking many attacks and continuing to fight even when in a near-dead state) and Weapon Summoning (In Madness Combat 1, he summons forth a cannon as his weapon of choice. He also creates his Binary Sword out of thin air in Madness Combat 8.)
Hank: Hank gets a high resistance to pain (Similar to Jesus, he constantly storms entire facilities while badly beaten and battered.)
Auditor: The Auditor gets no new key from Madness Combat 11, as he doesn't seem to do anything different or stronger than in Madness Combat 10- this is likely just what he is capable without the Halo. In his first key, he has Statistics Amplification, along with Creation and Summoning with the Improbability Drive. He also gets Portal Creation and Power Bestowal. (He amplifies the strength of his soldiers over the course of the series. The Improbability Drive, as well, has shown to be capable of summoning or creating buildings from random places with people inside of them. He also makes portals to transport Hank around in the likely purgatory realm, and gives Hank telekinesis.)
Tricky: Tricky gets a new key, which I will outline in a moment, but first let me describe what he gains that he was missing. He obtains Summoning and Creation with the Improbability Drive for the same reasons as the Auditor. He also gets a resistance to Absorption. (The Auditor is killed via absorbing Tricky, and then turns Tricky into his newest key. )
His new key, Madness Combat 11 Tricky, has the following abilities: Cloning, Summoning, Reality Warping, Gravity Manipulation, BFR, Creation, and Immortality Type 2, alongside his other abilities. (He BFRs Hank and Sanford to another realm, constantly summons and clones himself, survives lethal attacks constantly and brings himself back, creates and draws together massive platforms, and twists gravity.)
Lifting Strength
Not mine, but a thread was made that's relevant to this topic here.
Feel free to voice your thoughts and opinions, and if you know anything else that needs to be added, show me evidence and I will add it to the OP. If you think an ability shouldn't be added, please tell me why.
