I've been seeing discussions around here that some of Marvel's current rankings are spread a little too far apart from each other, mainly in reference to the 5-A and High 6-C tierings. Main discussion about this was here, and I thought I'd make a TL;DR version for simplicity's sake since i'd also like to get this sorted.
Essentially the solution was to simply upgrade the majority up to 5-A, but this was deemed far to unreasonable and so a compromise up to High 6-A (based on Iron Man's feat) was also suggested. I suppose deciding which side is more reasonable should be decided here.
There was also talk there of discarding Grey Hulk's meteor shattering feat as an outlier. If this is the case then there are a few 5-B feats to scale off of, namely from Umbra, Basilisk, and Spectrum. Cyclops has also stated himself that he can fire off an optic blast powerful enough to rip a small planet in half, which seems to lean closer to the 5-B end.
Personally, I'm fine keeping the current ranking, but I also acknowledge that there is far more evidence for 5-B than 5-A, and the 5-A feat in question is fairly old as well, and may be outdated.
Another issue brought up was about Iron Man's tiering. Simply put, there was simply no way to scale Tony above his currently recorded feats, given that at least two of them indicate that level to be the absolute peak of each respective suit, whether it be nothing outside of the Silver Centurion's full powered missile could do anything against this mountain, and Tony needed to push all power to his shields to survive this explosion, and even then came out pretty banged up after the fact
Essentially while the majority of the High 6-C's would be scaled up, most of Iron Man's armors should remain where he is given the circumstances.
And.....I think that's about it for now, at least of the important stuff. If there's anything else that needs to be discussed, feel free to add anything below.
