On that note, the list won't be perfect - e.g. in many ways Hulk is far more powerful than Dr Strange, but Strange could probably take him out with the right spell.
Certain characters are vulnerable to other character's abilities ( could Strange have stalemated Dormammu without the time gem, no way, it was the particular power of the stone that saved him). It's a variation of plot armour I think.
Despite durability as an issue I think Dr Strange is in the right place on the list - in the comics his powers have gone up and down but at his peak nobody short of a god ( or with eqyuivalent mystical power) can beat him.
Molecule man, would easily be at the top of this list but is only relatively human.
Ah well, the list goes on. Looking forward to the next battle!
To answer your first comment. I believe the list may never be perfect, but it will always be considerably more accurate then just one person's speculation making it the most accurate tier list available. Also, I think the word Power gets misunderstood. When I say a Power Tier list I am not just saying to consider Physical Strength or a characters ability to Manipulate Energy or Matter. I am saying to consider all things, like Intelligence, Agility, Weapons, Fighting Style, Durability, Strategy and basically anything that might give them the upper hand in a fight to be considered a power. Because at the end of the day if a first character beats a second character then that first character has something about them that makes them more powerful in my opinion. I mean if Dr. Strange can take down the Hulk in your opinion with a spell then he might be the more powerful character, but you need to consider if he could get off the spell before the Hulk could close that gap and crush him I suppose. At the end of the day as you said it will not be perfect because some speculating on facts is required, but I still feel like using the information on screen that the majority vote on who wins will end in results that are mostly accurate.
As for your comment on Dr. Strange Vs. Dormammu. First off I am not a big fan of Dr. Strange winning by losing repeatedly. It was not like he went back in time and changed something that allowed him to beat Dormammu, no he just went back again and again dying each time and became an annoyance. However, this whole situation really does not work in reality, but our mind allowed it to work in the movie because it was clever and a fun way of handing it. What I mean is that Dr. Strange treated the Time Stone as if he put it on an infinite loop. So, this would result in Dr. Strange appearing twice and then three times and then four times and so on and so forth, because by going back in time he would go back to where he was previously and have met himself in the process each time. 2nd off how is it that Dormammu remembers something that hasn't happened yet to get so annoyed. I mean the assumption is that the Time Stone returns you to a time before something occurred and yet Dormammu was getting annoyed at going through the loop over and over again, but how did he remember it when it has not yet occurred. I mean the real way it should have played out is that Dr. Strange just kept Multiplying every time he went back in Time and every time Dormammu killed all of him like it was the first time. Although that would not have made for as interesting of a story, so they gave us this method and our Brain just kind of allows it. But anyways, getting back to the topic at hand.
When considering the Time Stone as a power or artifact available to Dr. Strange, I don't think we should consider Dr. Strange the winner, if all he can do is lose over and over again against another character. Now, if Dr. Strange can go back in time and alter an event that will allow him to become the winner by beating the other character, then yes the Time Stone would then make him the legitimate winner.
As for Molecule Man, once we get the Fantastic Four back then yeah I would love to add him to the list.
I hope this information helps you, but if you have more comments about the subject if you can take it to the newest battle I would appreciate it. Since this battle is completed I would like to let it die off.
Thanks!
