Super/Tiers/Sandbox

We here at TV Tropes, having nothing but free time and a whole lot of boredom at work/school have created a infallible super-scientific scale to measure a character's raw power, from the weediest Red Shirt to the most unruly Reality Maker.

Characters in a work will range all over this scale. Some will change tiers during the course of a story, up or down.

Some heros or villains might seem unrated at first. This is because what they lack in raw power they more than make up for with their skills. This would include great detectives, clever time travelers and the occasional ninja.

Everything below this line would be an comment to editors and not visible to readers.
%% Don't take this scale seriously. %% It's not really an attempt to scientifically gage the power of characters. %% It is just for fun. %% %% Characters who derive their power from brains rather than brawn may look underrated. %% It's a scale of raw power, only. Don't sweat it. Characters with great power but poor %% knowledge and/or control should generally be ranked lower: power exercised is what %% counts.

%% Actual power trumps technicalities: for example a character with superpowers but only %% weak ones could go in Abnormal Weight or even Iron Weight if that was roughly right.

%% Lower classes on this scale may not be present, e.g. when Everyone Is a Super. %% The scale is often ill-suited for games with a Class and Level System: classes without %% actual supernatural powers can reach level 99 and beat up gods as well as anyone. %% Don't get too caught up on who beat who or who could beat who. Just make an assessment %% of the power displayed as per the scale. If symptoms persist, see your doctor.
