Fictional Character Strength Tier System

     I recently realized something peculiar about people that believe in gods. They typically dismiss lesser powerful beings and embrace the more improbably powerful beings that work with infinities.

     Example: Superman does not function in the infinite realm; none of his abilities operate at the infinite level. Yet no one believes in Superman, who is far more probable to exist than a god, such as the Christian god, that operates in the infinite realm.

     Since religious people, such as Christians and Muslims, have no problem accepting organisms that operate at infinite levels (gods), why do they dismiss organisms which operate at levels that do not approach infinity (such as Superman)? The fact that I can ask such a question shows how fundamentally flawed the religious mind is. Religious people haven’t yet figured out that religion is actually fiction – that’s the main problem.

     I can put this into a generalized tier system:

Tier 1 – Base Human Strength

     These are fictional characters that are as strong as a human, such as Batman or Lara Croft. A regular person could kill them.

Tier 2 – Superior Strength

     These are fictional characters that are much stronger than humans, and could not easily be killed by any regular person. Examples are Superman, Wolverine, Magneto, Predator and Thor. Some of the organisms at this level may refer to themselves as gods, considerably overestimating their abilities. Movies and fiction books are overpopulated with Tier 2 characters. A scientific explanation for some of the Tier 2 abilities comes from the use of femtotechnology, but not complete mastery. In other words, if regular humans gain access to femtotechnology, then some people may gain Tier 2-like abilities. 
     An interesting character to mention at this point is Iron Man. He's a good example of a Tier 1 organism with Tier 2-like abilities. The person inside the suit simply has base human strength, but the suit itself provides for abilities reminiscent of Superman.
     Note: The strength variations at the Tier 2 level are significant. There is a big difference between Superman and the Predator, but each of them can easily kill a human, and each of them can easily be killed by a higher Tier organism.
     Further Note: It may seem like a stretch for me to include the Predator in the Tier 2 category, but one must remember that in the 1987 movie, it was very difficult to kill. Realistically, Arnold would've lost. But that's Hollywood and they can't kill the star. 

Tier 3 – Godlike Strength

     These are fictional characters that are much stronger than Tier 2 characters. A regular person wouldn’t be able to kill them, and even a Tier 2 character would have considerable difficulty dispatching one of them. Examples are Dr. Manhattan and Apocalypse. These are rarely seen in movies. Characters at the Tier 3 level have mastered femtotechnology and understand Planck scales on an intimate level. They do not understand infinity, though they understand it much better than any human. 
     It's worth mentioning that there might exist a type of suit, similar to Iron Man, for Tier 2 organisms. Example: Superman wears a suit that gives him Tier 3-like abilities. Superman, even though he is quite powerful, would not be able to defeat something like Dr. Manhattan without special technology. 

Tier 4 – Gods

     These are fictional characters that operate at infinite levels. Due to the nature of infinity, they can’t be killed by characters even in Tier 3. They have the ability to create universes and/or manage the life and death of organisms. Examples are Zeus, Osiris, God, Allah and Marduk. Tier 4 characters were primarily created by people working in the dawn of civilization and up until as recently as 2,000 years ago. Modern people often mistake Tier 4 characters as being real, and it is still possible to be punished for not believing in or saying bad things about, Tier 4 characters. Many modern people still mistakenly believe that morality is somehow connected with a belief in Tier 4 characters. Tier 4 characters understand what happens beyond the Planck scales, and also understand infinity.
     And, since I can think of it, there might exist a suit that gives lower Tier organisms Tier 4-like abilities. There is an easy example I can think of: Thanos. Thanos is a Tier 2 organism, but when he dons the Infinity Gauntlet, he becomes like a Tier 4 organism.

Tier 5 - Stronger Than Gods

     These are fictional characters that operate at higher levels of infinity. They are vastly, and unimaginably, stronger than any of the religious gods or anything previously imagined by a human being. The argument I use to imagine the Tier 5 category stems from mathematics: infinity comes in different sizes*. Such organisms would not be concerned with universes, but would operate at structural levels that exceed even the multiverse. They would manage structures that contain multiverses and thoroughly understand infinities akin to the set of Real numbers. Tier 4 organisms would not be recognized as having intelligence by a Tier 5 organism. No movie or book has ever described or shown a Tier 5 organism.
     The Tier 5 category has no conceivable end. There is no Tier 6.

*An example of an infinite set being bigger than another infinite set is the difference between the Natural numbers and the Real numbers.
