MCU / DCEU
Obviously, this tier list will not include every single character to appear in the MCU/DCEU, but rather those I deemed appropriate for this list (assuming I didn't forget anyone). I missed out a few like Incubus / Enchantress and some SS members because it's been too long since I've seen SS, don't really remember much and don't plan on ever rewatching it.
Tier List
Justification
No. 1
Don't think anyone refutes Dormammu's status as the most powerful MCU character given the stateements from Guidebooks and whatnot on his power.
S+ Tier
Everyone on this tier generally just has too much raw power for anyone below to put down, even if most on this tier lack versatility.
S Tier
Superman is too fast for the majority of this list and will beat anyone here assuming he can put them down, Doomsday is flat out shown as superior though and despite Clark's potential speed upgrade he still can't put DD down. Zeus lacks on screen feats but his Lightning instantly separating the Motherboxes and the fact he "created" Themyscira should put him up near the top.
A Tier
Ronan was at the top purely because he has the Power Stone and he tanked the Hadron Enforcer's blast, I can see the argument for him being in the S tier, but he does lack on screen damage output feats. Someone like Clark could easily take his Hammer from him too.
The rest is pretty self explanatory given there's In Universe scaling for these placements (apart from Thor > Carol, which you can read my full views on here).
Was hesitant to put Zod here because I'd take Kurse or Hulk over him, but his Super Speed made things tricky, as he'd still blitz and one shot Wanda or Strange and his Speed would prove tricky for anyone on this tier.
B Tier
Kurse, Hulk and Iron Man should all be pretty close at this point comparing their respective performances against similar powered characters IU. Steppenwolf and Diana have the skill and speed advantage over the three aforementioned characters, but are physically inferior, hence their placement on the same tier. Nam Ek and Faora are watered down versions of Zod, they're generally the weakest on this tier but too powerful to go in the tier below.
C Tier
Ares and the Ancient One are pretty impressive but Ares has already lost to a weaker version of a character in B tier, and Ancient One lacks combat feats. I can see why people would put her in the tier above given how she treated Hulk, but that was a tamed and off guard Hulk, so I'm not sure how applicable that is.
Aquaman is placed here under the assumption he's on land, hence his foes being placed right next to him given the general parity between them.
D Tier
The best on this tier are undeniably the Wizards who have proven competent against foes like Cull Obsidian, etc. The rest are either pretty fast, have some decent hax or a solid assortment of Tech, i.e Vulture, Star Lord, Yellowjacket.
E Tier
The lowest of mid tiers, Guardians have mostly been unimpressive and others here have been challenged by those in the tier below (while still coming off as superior though).
F Tier
Pretty much all the street levelers, they probably aren't all in the same tier if we looked exclusively at street tier but the gaps aren't enough to warrant a separate tier considering the scale of the list.
