Sam Alexander (Nova) solid tiering

I was reading War of Kings, Nova tie ins specifically, and I found something that could give to Nova (Sam Alexander) a solid tier. Robbie Rider, Richard Rider's brother, using all his power could immobilize Strontian, Gladiator's cousin (who is almost as powerful as his brother and stronger than Richard Rider) for a relatively considerable time, and could have lasted longer if he had not lost his concentration. And that was done by a very casual Nova Corps member.

Sam Alexander is not a casual Nova Corps member, he, in fact, has a Super Nova/Black Nova helmet, which grants more Nova Force and are more powerful than the normal ones, and those helmets were used later by the black ops unit of the Nova Corp, so Sam Alexander is more powerful than a normal Nova Corp member and more powerful than Robbie Rider. In addition to this, we have his encounters with Beta Ray Bill and that survived that hit from Hulk, but specially his encounters with Warbringer, who was powerful enough to fight with Thor and the whole Avengers team, which has also Iron Man with his prime Armor in his team roster, and Sam could fight against him alone in his own series. So, this could give Sam a 4-B tiearing. What do you think?
 
Well, immobilising Gladiator's cousin was stated outright to not be done via raw power, but rather by expert calculations that countered her every movement. The rest might work though.
 
He would still be 4-B. He was shown as considerably less powerful than the Silver Surfer.
 
Oh, that's a good explanation to what happened there, Ant.I think you're right, yes. Seeing that you agree that his encounters with Warbringer give him a solid tier, in addition to his encounters with Hulk and Beta Ray Bill, we can upgrade him, right? How should be the justification?
 
Well, it seems best if you ask some other active and experienced members listed in the Marvel Comics section of the Knowledgeable Members List page to comment here first.
 
It seems so. Just be careful to use valid references.
 
Good. I'll prepare some scans first. Maybe I'll make a Warbringer profile to make scaling easier.
