What's the tier for surviving an atmospheric reentry? Not actually falling all the way to the Earth, just the reentry.

What tier would this character's durability be?

This depends on a lot of things. I am assuming that you mean the Earth's atmosphere, but I'd also need to know the weight and velocity of the character to make a educated guess at that.

Around 70 kilograms, I guess. Took him 3 minutes to reach a point near the surface. He did get past the clouds, but didn't fall all the way through

I think the principal effect of reentry (not including impact) is the increase of temperature, so someone should be at least capable to support that, but not sure how hot it will turn the falling object.

Feat can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siDgoEFQka8&t=32s

Welp, just falling do not qualify as a durability feat if it do not impact against an inamovible object nor the character cathc fire.

Well it is possible to calculate the heat but there are 2 problems here:
1. He was in a space suit if im not mistaken which does help to an unknown degree since we have no info on the suit.
2. He didn't catch fire or show any signs of heating which completely nulls the "calc" part because:
A) If there were no signs of heating there is nothing to say the space suit didn't just tank all of the minor heating.
B) The author may have just disregarded the heating process completely.

What about Rex Fury? He's knocked out of orbit alongside Chase (the astronaut guy) and falls all the way back to Earth. He shows up later in the same video with a toilet bowl on his head.

He crashed to Earth and tanked the landing?
If it can be believed and it's not just "well he might have tanked it, but it's unknown where exactly he fell onto" it can be calculated.

According to the video, he crashed head-first through someone's roof.

Well then a simplified calc would be.
Vp= g*t = 10m/s/s * 200 s (imma assume it took him 200 seconds since it was a bit more than 3 minutes for someone who dropped from the same altitude to arrive a bit below cloud level) = 2000m/s
Ke= m*v*v/2 = 70kg * 2000m/s * 2000m/s /2= 140'000'000 Joules = 1.4 * 10(to the 8th) which is 9-A AP which by default gives 9-A durability.
And even if i were to calculate the Potential Energy (which would negate air friction) it would still be:
Ep= mgh= 70kg*10N/k*480'000m = 336'000'000 Joules = 3.36 * 10 (to the 8th) which is still in the 9-A range.
I may have fuked up somewhere though.

Thanks. I'm gonna put the calc in a blog post and ask for evaluation.
